Let's Go Blues

Movie tips:

Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Children of Men

The Shawshank Redemption.

Knocked Up
Persuite of Happiness
Shaw Shank Redemption
Boondock Saints

THE BIG F'IN LEBOWSKI

The Natural
Dirty Harry
Rocky
Trading Places
...many more that I'm forgetting

Trading Places?

Not necessarily the best of all time...but my favorites, in no particular order:

- O Brother Where Art Thou?
- Snatch
- Lord of the Rings (trilogy...it's all one movie)
- Star Wars (hexilogy...or whatever you call a six part movie)
- Sin City
- Jaws
- Shawshank Redemption
- Pulp Fiction
- Back To The Future (trilogy)

Some more

- Airplane!
- Apollo 13
- Every Bond Film

Fargo
Raising Arizona
Tombstone
Reefer Madness

A little part of me dies whenever someone mentions Boondock Saints as one of the best movies of all time. What is the obsession about? I've seen it, but I would never go as far as to say it's "great".

Love Liza
Requiem for a Dream
Punch Drunk Love
.... i know there are others...

Chinatown
The Longest Day
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (sentimental pick)

I could go on for several hours...

I found that film to be perhaps the most depressing thing I have ever seen. I guess since it's the "most" something, I should give it its due. I just don't understand why people love that film as much as they do. There isn't a single redeemable character as far as I can remember. A horribly depressing film that I cannot endorse, not that you give a crap, of course. Maybe you can shed light on what's good about it.

Yes, J Connelly shows some skin. But a younger and hotter J Connelly shows MORE in The Hot Spot.

The French Connection..... Ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie???

and Good Lord, did we REALLY get this far without someone mentioning The Godfather????

And 2001 was really good up until it made the abrupt left turn into a bad 70's Pink Floyd video.......

Godfather, of course. French Connection, of course.

I don't really know how to explain why I like that movie except I tend to be that guy that laughs when you are not supposed to be laughing during movies...

Just a big fan of dark comedys i guess...


Harold and Maude, i think the music make it great...

But it wasn't a dark comedy!

I don't get it either.
I've seen it...and I wasn't impressed. I kept waiting for it to get good and it never really did.
Maybe it was built up too much for me.
