Life of Brian is my favorite MP movie with The grail being a very close second. My favorite year would be in my top 10 list.

I'm fine with this pivot - seems like we are running out of unique titles on the top 10s at this point. Some off the top of my head: Anchorman Old School Airplane Animal House Caddyshack Supertroopers Superbad Pineapple Express Groundhog's Day Young Frankenstein Wedding Crashers
January 28, 20196 yr No Time For Sergeants Animal House Life of brian MP and the holy grail My favorite Year Raising Arizona Young Frankenstein Airplane Caddy Shack Blazing Saddles Dr. Strangelove Philadelphia Story that's 12, not in order really, and I love em all.

January 29, 20196 yr The Searchers keeps coming up. Another favorite of mine in that vein is 3 Godfathers. I didn't know until just a few weeks ago that the John Wayne/John Ford version wasn't the original. It was the 2nd remake of a 1916 silent film. The 1936 version with Chester Morris is pretty good.
January 30, 20196 yr Apocalypse Now Monty Python & the Holy Grail Dr. Strangelove The Bridge Over the River Kwai The Grapes of Wrath Rear Window The Wild Bunch Bonnie & Clyde No Country For Old Men The Conversation
January 30, 20196 yr I'm surprised that The Grapes of Wrath gets such high marks from this site. Isn't it about a bunch of Okies going west? Okies?

January 30, 20196 yr I might swap it for true grit on his list. the other four? hell no, nobody would. It’s definitely better than True Grit. I’m sure I’m in the minority but I like it at least as much as No Country.

February 4, 20196 yr Cool topic. Impossible to narrow down to 10 and greatest is so subjective. I would say that these 10 had the greatest emotional (funny, scary, action, inspiring etc.) impact on me personally when I watched them: Rocky Godfathers Star Wars Jaws Shawshank Shining Wedding Crashers Caddyshack Platoon Goldfinger Hoosiers Edited February 4, 20196 yr by sheeeit
February 4, 20196 yr Yeah, I couldn't even guess what the 10 best movies I've seen are. It depends on whose list I'm looking at I suppose. I know my personal 10 favorite movies are: 1. Pulp Fiction 2. The Graduate 3. The Godfather 4. Annie Hall 5. Casablanca 6. Young Frankenstein 7. Monty Python and The Holy Grail 8. This is Spinal Tap 9. In The Heat of the Night 10.
