EersN'Bills Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Someone tell that Kraut I don't roll on Shabbos. "I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski, I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me ya know? Either that or His Dudeness. Or, uh, Duder. Or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing." That's a good list. Memento was a mind !@#$. I had to rewatch it the second it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Today's list (going for my favorites that haven't been named -- I think -- so far): 1. Raiders of the Lost Ark 2. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 3. Bowfinger 4. High Fidelity 5. Barton Fink Road TripHow HighHarold and Kumar Go To White CastleEurotripClerksHonorable mention goes to Cheech and Chong for getting things started. I sense a theme. And I'd laugh my ass off watching that line-up... add some tom petty and I think it's DC Tom's nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 GF 2 > GF 1 but just by a millimicron. Robert DeNiro as young Vito was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I would add the Untouchables to my top five list if Kevin Costner made more than one facial expression playing Elliot Ness. Robert De Nero was excellent as Capone, and Sean Connery was awesome as usual. Actually speaking of Connery, I would add Hunt for the Red October and Last Crusade to my list of honorable mentions. This is hard. Edited March 22, 2017 by GhostsofBillsPast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 * The Godfather * Star Wars (A New Hope) * Alien * The Thin Red Line * The Sound of Music - I don't usually think of this movie as one of my favorites, but I have no problem defending it as one of the best. And I have watched it several times. ...I guess it is a favorite! GF 2 > GF 1 but just by a millimicron. Robert DeNiro as young Vito was great That's my take too. The young Vito storyline is terrific. I go back and forth in my mind about this. Ultimately I give a bonus to an original (initial) story. It has a higher burden to establish a world. I know that is heady for something as subjective as a favorite. I have a built-in almost nostalgic feeling for the original Godfather, Star Wars, Alien etc. that give them a boost in my ratings.

elroy16 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 These are always in the top three for me, it's hard to decide on a top five. The Big Lebowski Die Hard The Matrix Next tier is Die Hard 3 and 4 John Wick Tropic Thunder and probably a dozen other I can't think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Since we have a top 5 favorite TV shows, I thought we'd do top 5 favorite movies. Mine: 1.) Goodfellas- I personally think it's Scorsese's best, but Taxi Driver and Raging Bull also contend for that title. Really shows the dark world of the mob and doesn't hold back. 2.) The Shawshank Redemption- So uplifting and just a great story. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman steal the show. 3.) The Empire Strikes Back- Best of the Star Wars movies. Enough said there. 4.) Memento- The narrative structure is so unique and after watching it you'll be forced to watch it again because your mind is blown. 5.) Edward Scissorhands- Quirky and lovable. It's a 90s, suburban take on the Frankenstein/Outsider story. Based on your list I watched Memento last night. Definitely a different movie. I will have to watch it again.
