Good year. I liked Nightwatch.

Arlington Road. Forgot about that one.

Won't ever forget that crook feeling in my gut i had when the big reveal happened.
Bridges sells it like the boss he is too.

****ing brutal

 

[2006_Eagles]

Transformers: The Last Knight

Oh whoops, wrong era

 

[Macpotata]

As a kid I liked the Good Son starring Culkin and Mikey, another flick about a crazy kid

[Macpotata]

Forgot about this one. Don't think I've seen it mentioned here.


Blood In Blood Out

 

[The Dawes]

unsure if this has been mentioned but I thought Happiness was incredibly hard to watch but an outstanding film especially given the subject matter.

 

[PhatBoy]

Saw it mentioned at least once briefly earlier in the thread:

LA Confidential.
Brilliantly written, brilliantly acted. F***ing amazing film.
The ‘Bud White - Ed Exley Vendetta Ride’ scenes are awesome.

Actually speaking of vendetta rides:

Tombstone

Val Kilmer is regal.

Kilmer's a great actor. Certainly made some gems in his time.

Charlie Sheen plays a biker ...in beyond the law.

I'm sure it had a different name when I hired the VHS.or DVD ...probably VHS.

Thought it was alright back then..
I'll have to watch it again....it's prob crap..
One of things you think was the bomb but it was a bomb ..

 

[Macpotata]

Grotto how good is Donnie Brasco? Was on Fox last night.


Pacino & Depp - what a one-two punch that combination was.

 

[Macpotata]

more zap than Tyson

 

[NorthernLights]

Clerks

 

[Macpotata]

Grotto were you a fan of the Bruce Lee inspired movie called Dragon from the 1990's? The guy that starred in the Last of the Mohicans played Bruce Lee.

Thoughts on that movie as well btw, and Dances with Wolves. Just curious lol.

 

[Macpotata]

1. Heat
2. T2

4. Schindler's List
5. Titanic
6. Casino
7. Jerry Maguire

10. Rounders

In NO order, but Heat would take out Number 1 for me. Bolded are my Top 20. Noticed I didnt include any movie from Pornhub. I do have some class. lol


Macpotata and NSWCROW can you guys fine tune this to a Top 20. Im struggling. Im not saying these are the best, although some of them are, these are the movies that I enjoyed on first glace and also have watched over and over again over the years. Each movie imo has something unique to tell and a great story to go with fine actors too. Some movies are powerful I mean they really send powerful messages.

American Pie taught me about Apple Pies lol.

I could watch all these movies back to back comfortably. Uber Eats over a 3 day long weekend.

**** I'll say it again that is one ****ing awesome list.

 

[raskolnikov]

It kinda scares me that Dumb and Dumber was made in 1994. I saw it at the cinema what seems like the other day.

According to the map, we've only gone 4 inches.

She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.

Ah here it is on the briefcase! Samsonite!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Vegas Vacation

Underrated!

If only for this scene:

 

[Shell]

Underrated!

If only for this scene:

Sir- we have an excellent dry cleaning service if you're so inclined.
What this? Oh its a.. birthmark.

Oh my god its Wayne Newtown! Do you need a bodyguard? I'd die for ya!

Now i want some of the yella. And dont go cheap on me!



I love all in the series- can hardly put them in order. European is probably the weakest one, but it is still piss funny.

 

[RolandF1]

Underrated!

If only for this scene:

Yeah I liked the film but it was obviously made to fit a rating.

It did lack the raunchy and smart yet crass moments that peppered throughout the John Hughes written ones. Or those darkly humorous moments like the dog leash on the car.

 

[Cruyff14]

The Fugitive, for sure. One of my all time favourites.

That movie was huge.

Another good one- Speed. Otherwise known as The Bus that couldnt slow down!
