Jack1000 03-15-2002, 10:33 PM Hey Guys! LOL! I was gonna post this same topic about the "Top Movies!" Anyway, I grew up in the 70's-80's, which I consider the "Bigtime Era of Movies" so here is my list! 1. One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest 2. Midnight Express 3. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. (Greatest Family-Type Film of all Time!) 4. The Jerk (The Best for Pure Comody!) 5. And Justice For All (Please view only the uncut version....Al Pachino is absolutely BRILLIANT in this film) 6. The Breakfast Club (Best movie about high school life ever made) 7. The Omen (Scarier than Exorcist and faster-paced) 8. Fiddler on the Roof (Only musical version of a film that I really liked.) Moving story and good songs 9. Dominique and Eugene. (Examines the relationship between two brothers (ala "Rain Man") One is mentally challenged the other is a med-student.) Just as good as Rain Man if not better because it is more emotional...a beautiful and very under-rated film 10. Halloween (Proves you don't need a lot of blood and gore for a master suspensful film) Ricardos4ever 03-16-2002, 04:26 PM It's so hard to pick just five, but here goes: 1. It's a Wonderful Life 2. Grease 3. The Wedding Singer 4. Back to the Future (any one of 'em) 5. Titanic LaverneShirley 03-16-2002, 05:39 PM After the first movie, it's in no particular order 1. Guys and Dolls 2. Singin' in the Rain 3. The Music Man 4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 5. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 6. Peter Pan (Cathy Rigby version) 7. A League of Their Own 8. The Borrowers (The one with John Goodman. It's kind of stupid, but I find it hilarious). 9. The Mummy 10. The Mummy Returns 11. Miss Congeniality 12. West Side Story A bit more than 5, I'm afraid. AKA 03-17-2002, 02:58 PM 11. South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut 12. Shrek 13. Good Will Hunting 14. Office Space 15. Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings 16. Vanilla Sky 17. Shrek 18.

Save the Last Dance Tubehead 06-07-2008, 01:52 PM #1 batman beings #2 spider-man 2 #4 back to the futuer part 2 #5 teeange mutant ninja tutles #6 the first kid AB 06-07-2008, 02:52 PM Ghost One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Dirty Dancing Overboard Saturday Night Fever sunshinefizzy 06-07-2008, 08:57 PM 1) To Kill a Mockingbird 2) It's a Wonderful Life 3) Waitress 4) In Her Shoes 5) Steel Magnolias HM's: Where the Heart Is, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest, Grapes of Wrath, and On Golden Pond. MightyCelestial 06-15-2008, 05:53 AM 5. Goodfellas - You just can't beat this gangster movie for charismatic energy. Scorcese pays close attention to the minute details that the mafia engage in for the sake of maintaining the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to. And then director shows how that type of self-contained lifestyle can only eventually crumble as the outside world continually changes & evolves. 4. Aliens - This movie has everything that I look forward to in a sci-fi adventure. Suspenseful action, solid story, distinct characters (with great chemistry) , great visuals, kick-ass aliens, a turning plot-twist ( we all thought for sure, that Bishop couldn't be trusted), & of course, a catch-phrase that made the entire theatre roar (" Get away from her, you bitch!"). Mannnn.... I wish I had acid for blood. 3. Close Encounters Of The 3rd. Kind - For me, the most realistic handling of a story of aliens ( inspiring films like Contact & Signs which tried admirably to emulate), that it made it almost believable for me that extra-terrestrials do exist. Also, it was done with such a sense of awe-inspiring hope & elegant beauty, that it almost made me wish that they did indeed exist( & maybe aliens do, but that's an entirely different website, altogether). Mannnn.... I wish a UFO would come down & fly me away into the limitless potential of space. (Sans anal-probes, of course.) 2. Superman - Yep. The fact that this #2 of my favorite movies ever is evidence that I am a huge comicbook nerd. And since admitting that usually doesn't garner much respect, I only expect the best when a project interprets my favorite medium up on the big screen. We comicbook fans don't need any more ammunition to makes us seem any more goofy. We can do that all by ourselves. ALL by ourselves. And no matter what anyone says, this is the original gangsta of superheroes. So it is only fitting that the last son of Krypton's big-budget movie debut should turn out to be the one that all other comic-book based superhero movies must be measured by. And while I know that this movie does have it's dated flaws, it was, just like the character whom it portrayed, the one that started on how epic the idea of a superhero could truly be. 1. The Godfather - I could go on & on with why I agree with so many people of why this is such a great movie, but instead, I'll do a top ten within a top ten. Top 10 reasons why I like the Godfather: 10. The late great John Cazale. 9. Marlon Brando is back with a performance uniquely his own. 8. James Caan. IMO, his best performance ever & the best character in the movie. 7. All the "oranges=death/violent act" scenes. 6. Apollonia!!! 5. Vito Corleone's "...And that I do not forgive" speech during the meeting of the criminal masterminds. 4. Lines like "Sleeping with the fishes" or " Time to take out the mattresses", phrases that have since become part of popular culture. 3. Sonny's death scene. 2. The theme song. 1. Francis Ford Coppola's masterful use of foreshadowing. Example:When Luca Brasi ( the guy who ends up sleeping with the fishes) goes to make a deal with the rival crime-family, he walks thru a glass door that leads to the bar where he will meet his end. As the door closes, the scene is shot looking at Luca from behind, setting up the shot to so that you will notice fish designs that have been engraved into the glass & give the impression that they are surrounding Luca's body. Awesome. Simply awesome. |
