I'm not a big movie guy, but any time the following two movies are on TV, I am watching them begining to end

16 Candles
Alien

And recently, I would really recommend the movie Sunshine http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/

But ignore the ending, it's bad. The first hour or so is just awesome edge of seat in an intellectual and jump out of your skin way...

Godfather 1 & 2
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Back to the Future 1 & 2
Little Big League
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (pretty much one long 10 hour movie)
Office Space

Not much of a movie guy, so i'd have to keep thinking

I should have included on my top ten list - now growing to 20- 2001 Odyssey and Raiders of Lost Ark .

Don't laff @ another : Virginia Wolfe. It was almost like watching my dysfunctional parents.
_______________

Laurel & Hardy pretty good but Stooges reign.

My reply matches my age, cultural illiteracy and disdain for most movies the last 20 years.
{BTW: I realized after drafting this post #33 that this is a recyled thread and I first replied in post #11 . My update below is both similar yet somewhat different than my post #11}

I have seen so few of the movies listed above. Maybe countable on one, certainly two hands.

From those movies above I have ONLY seen and which might make my top ten list * - plus if I gave it alot more thought, research and went way back to truly ID a list 65 years in the making it mite look something like this.

Star Wars series - I did not like all the sequels/prequels equally *
Titans*
Cousin Vinny
Rudy
Wall Street*
Blues Brothers*

Missing from the lists & posts above thus far for me are:

Godfather
Guess who's coming to dinner
North by Northwest
Butch Cassidy
Meet the Parents/Fockers
Rocky I
Sting
Lost Ark
Home Alone
Toy Story - (Stinky Pete)
____________________

I researched before posting this a review online for movie lists by box office returns or top 500 movies all times . I would be hard pressed to identify 50 of the 500 movies listed as ones I have watched. Sad - hey?

I am a movie tard.

These are the top 10 movies that I've personally seen.

1. The Godfather
2. Animal House
3. The Blues Brothers
4. The Godfather, Part II
5. Star Wars
6. Apocalypse Now
7. Raiders of the Lost Ark
8. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (this is nothing but an acid trip)
9. From Russia With Love
10. Beauty and the Beast

These are the 5 that I would like to see:

1. Citizen Kane
2. The Graduate
3. The Conversation (w/Gene Hackman and John Cazale)
4. Casablanca
5. The Shootist

In no particular order (many repeats from the great movies mentioned above)


Rocky I
Rocky II
The Natural
Office Space
Meet the Parents
The 40 Year Old Virgin
Back To The Future (original)
Diehard (original)

this is a pretty good list esp. the 1st two on the list. Jolie ruined Changeling and I didn't like Slumdog and Taken was so annoying.
I would recommend some of these from the last 12 months that aren't on the list.
The Wrestler- Mickey Rourke was robbed.
The Fall- visually stunning
Vicky Christina Barcelona- Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson makeout anyone??
Frost/Nixon
Role Models
Death At A Funeral

No Country For Old Men

Thanks a lot, this is what I was looking for.

I don't want to turn this into a big debate, but what was it about Taken that you found so annoying?
