Top Ten All-Time Movies
« on: April 27, 2007, 01:27:00 pm »
I know many are snubbing me(I've been a rather bad boy lately, but I've been good recently), but I felt the time was nigh for yet another, oh no, top ten list.
 
 Poast your top ten films of all time.  And please be tasteful.

I'll bite. Jeez...that's a tough one. I never get tired of watching the following:
 
 Fargo
 Gimme Shelter
 LA Confidential
 Sixteen Candles
 Pulp Fiction
 Little Miss Sunshine
 Lost in Translation
 Freeway
 Almost Famous
 Kill Bill 1
 
 Of course I love all the usual classics: Rear Window, Psycho, Some Like It Hot, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Full Metal Jacket, Scarface, and then some off-the-beaten-path flicks: Next Stop Wonderland, Clay Pigeons, With a Friend Like Harry, etc. True fact: I've never seen Gone With the Wind, and I've never sat through the Wizard of Oz in its entirety.

L.A. Confidential:  I can watch that over & over.  David Strathairn was really good in that.

Hey Rhett, what about Cocktail?

Pretty good, but I thought Cruise was better in Top Gun and Days of Thunder.

I thought the soundtrack is really what made Cocktail. When the guys are rocking out to "Addicted to Love" I thought I felt the earth move. So powerful.

Deliverance
 Dr.Strangelove
 The President's Analyst
 Dawn of the Dead (1978)
 Bedazzled (1967)
 A Boy and His Dog
 Videodrome
 The Quiet Earth
 Dark Star
 Zardoz
 Dune (Lynch)
 Killing Zoe
 Fight Club
 Ichi The Killer

 
 In that order, too...just off the top of my head.  I'm probably forgetting some gems.  Older classics I'd say Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Citizen Kane & Lifeboat.

It's really hard to say since my list seems to be a constantly evolving one, but off the top of my head, in no particular order:
 
 Raising Arizona
 North By Northwest
 Last of The Mohicans (Michael Mann)
 Black Hawk Down
 The Great Escape
 Cool Hand Luke
 Stalag 17
 Caddyshack (Ted Knight = comic genius)
 True Romance (Best Tarentino script ever)
 Miller's Crossing
 
 As for some of the other choices on people's lists, I'm not one to be critical, but...
 
 A Boy and His Dog
 Buffalo 66
 
 I just don't get those.

i cant explain my obsession with buffalo 66, but it was the one movie i saw in theaters half a dozen times. film-making wise i really thought gallo was pure genius. of course, he did make the brown bunny which i was tempted to walk out on. and it was one of christina ricci's best performance IMO.
