September 12, 20196 yr 10 is tough. I could list 50-100 I'd watch no matter where it was in the movie when I flipped to it on a random channel.
September 12, 20196 yr In no particular order, and without much thought so I'll leave some good ones out: Pulp Fiction Goodfellas Swingers The Breakfast Club 25th Hour Good Will Hunting Menace II Society Dazed and Confused Cinderella Man The Godfather I & II Shawshank Yeah that's 11.

September 13, 20196 yr I have to add The Aviator in my list somewhere. Scorsese and DiCaprio knocked it out of the park. It's one of those films I'm addicted to and have to watch when it's on. Ironic, huh?
September 14, 20196 yr It will vary depending on how I feel at the time. This is how I'm feeling tonight: Unforgiven The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Sideways Goodfellas Animal House No Country for Old Men Caddyshack (natch . . .) Jeremiah Johnson Heat Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

September 15, 20196 yr Kind of shocked there is only one mention of Reservoir Dogs, and that was on the second page.

September 16, 20196 yr Braveheart ghostbusters raiders shawshank pulp fiction reservoir dogs lebowski Godfather The final two could be any of a million of those movies in the 90s that were awesome but also ‘just another movie’. Sling blade, falling down, boogie nights, almost famous, memento, swingers, dazed and confused, good will hunting, Fargo, dumb and dumber, true romance. Such a great era for movies and we were spoiled because genius stuff like this was coming out all the time Edited September 16, 20196 yr by SuingToGetAMessageBoard?

July 6, 20214 yr oh yay... lists! 😄 Fargo Goodfellas LA Confidential Godfather 1/2 (it's one story) Alien/Aliens (same) There Will Be Blood The Big Lebowski The Talented Mr. Ripley No Country for Old Men Boogie Nights Hon. Mention: A Fish Called Wanda, Pulp Fiction, The Long Riders, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Burn After Reading
July 6, 20214 yr I think this was a spinoff of a thread I started but I guess I never commented so I'll bite: Anchorman The Dark Knight There Will Be Blood LOTR - all 3 I'll just count as one Moonlight Raising Arizona Shrek Alien Wedding Crashers Princess Mononoke And I think 4/10 here overlap on my 10 best list? I guess I could go check but who has the time. Maybe we can dig that thread up, too. Edited July 6, 20214 yr by ztejas
July 6, 20214 yr The entire history of cinema it's difficult to make just 10 so favorite 10 since 2000 There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men City of God The Departed The Dark Knight Children of Men Lincoln Her Lives of Others Mad Max
July 6, 20214 yr Damn, this is hard. In no order: The Sting All the Presidents Men Big Lebowski Raiders of the Lost Ark The Right Stuff Jaws LA Confidential Jojo Rabbit GoodFellas Empire Strikes Back I reserve the right to come back and edit as I remember ones that I’ve missed. Edit: Man, I want to include 2001, Dr Strangelove and/or Clockwork Orange and Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. Maybe a Connery Bond flick. Pulp Fiction, JFK. Step Brothers or Old School. Christmas Vacation. Fargo or Miller’s Crossing. Boogie Nights. Alien or Aliens. Or The Thing (Kurt Russell). Royal Tenenbaums or Rushmore. Godfather 1 or 2. Midnight Run. Slap Shot or MASH. Die Hard. Lots of great flicks. Edited July 6, 20214 yr by C-Man
July 6, 20214 yr It will vary depending on how I feel at the time.

Jeremiah Johnson Heat Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid I absolutely fucking love Sideways
July 6, 20214 yr Jumping in here... Tombstone Treasure of the Sierra Madre Goodfellas Die Hard Major League Godfather I & II Smokey and the Bandit Dirty Harry All That Jazz Unforgiven Surprised that, unless I missed it, nobody else mentioned Tombstone. Dirty Harry has been ripped off so many times, it's unreal. Eastwood has only recently been given credit as a visionary, but his movies were the jumping off point for three genres: Redefining the western with the "Man With No Name" trilogy, vigilante justice against a psycho killer genre with Dirty Harry, and the guy being pursued by a hot psycho chick, in Play Misty for Me. Goodfellas and the first two Godfather movies were interesting takes on the same lifestyle. Goodfellas was probably closer to the truth. The Tommy DeVito character, played by Joe Pesci, was just a great character, but seems almost mild mannered compared to Tommy DeSimone, the guy he was based on. Pesci is 5'3". DeSimone was something like 6'4", 230 lbs, and according to Henry Hill, enjoyed killing people like it was a hobby. Smokey and the Bandit and Major League are junk food comedies, but always make me laugh. I don't think they could be made today.

I think it's a better movie than Unforgiven, for one. Take a rep for putting it in your top 10.
