Yeah...if you had kept it just to the first one, I might have supported it. But everyone knows that the time travel depicted in the sequel is flawed. If Marty left the time stream to visit the future, how did he wind up aging? It's impossible!
You know, I've been saying that for years, and no one ever understands what the hell I'm talking about. It's something I've learned to overlook, though.

Okay, I'm just an ass or a film snob, maybe both. I guess since the topic is Top Ten All-Time Movies you could read that as your personal favorite top 10 movies and in that case those would be whatever movies entertain you. So fine.
But if we were just doing a list of what the top 10 all time great films were, Garden State doesn't even belong in the conversation, and I enjoyed the movie. Maybe I'm alone here?
If that's how you're looking at it, then there are a
hell of a lot of movies in this thread that don't belong in the conversation.
The thing is, I'm not trying to say that any of the movies on my list contain the best acting, or the best screenplay, or the best characters, or the best plot, or the best
anything. They're simply the movies I've enjoyed the most over the years, the ones I keep coming back to over and over again for one reason or another. That's all.

Is there a reason you're dismissing anything and everything made before the 1980's?
Perhaps because I was born in 1982, and just never really got into the classics. I've seen a few that I would rate rather highly, though, like
Seven Samurai. Oh, and
Monty Python and the Holy Grail was 1975, by the way, and the first
Star Wars was 1977.
