Top ten movie list

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

Movies that I can pass time with:

Le Femme Nikita (The French version)
Casino (Can't believe no one has mentioned this)
Goodfellas
Godfather I & II (GF III sucks)
L.A. Confidential (Can't believe no one has mentioned this either)
Usual Suspects
Scarface
Pulp Fiction
Blazing Saddles
Bourne Identity

As you can tell, I think highly of organized crime movies. Also, Band of Brothers was a HBO miniseries, not a movie.

Honorable Mentions: A Clockwork Orange, Terminator 2, Ghost in the Shell

I cant believe no one mentioned the graduate or doctor strangelove. 
And by the way the Lord of the Rings trilogy sucked.  It's was cheesy, predictable (even people i knew who didnt read the books knew that gandalf was comming back), the acting sucked, and the ending was the most long winded pretentious piece of crap I've ever seen .  All the movie had going for it was the kick ass action (which was thoroughly kick ass mind you) and a pretty cool story.

day of the jackal

Great film

Lo$emoney.... Clockwork orange yes, Bicycle thief yes, graduate yesish, star wars trilogy no, resevoir dogs no, Dr. Stangelove, hell yes!


Lord of the Rings, well yes i agree that the ending blew bubbles out my ass, talk about pretentious and long winded... but to say it was all cheesy, predictable and sucky acting i can't agree with.

[*NADS Lo$eMoney]

Fair enough BFG,maybe i shouldve have said that the LOTR doesnt belong in the top 10.  I mean it was entertaining but thats about it.  And I forgot to add the Blues Brothers in the honorable mention, when i was a little kid i could watch that movie all day, and probably still can.

[cookie]

In no particular order...

Empire Strikes Back
American Beauty
City of God
Brazil
Mulholland Drive
The Shawshank Redemption
Taxi Driver
Sixteen Candles
North by Northwest
Citizen Kane

The Third Man, The Princess Bride, and 28 Days Later receive honorable mentions.

and i LOVE wes anderson movies.

[Mr.Mellow]

Pretty sure I mentioned Dr. Strangelove. I had to of! If not, I apologize. (edit: I didn't. God I hate myself) OMG and The Blues Brothers! Yes! That movie corrupted me when I was like 3 years old. lol. Probably watched it 100 times before I was like 10. haha.

Your women! I want to buy your women! ...The little girl...your daughters. Sell them to me...SELL ME YOUR CHILDRENS!

God I love that movie.

Ult, I didnt realize you were a stoner...Dazed and Confused is a great modern classic.

I play bass guitar for a band and theres no way better to perform then to be blazed. 

[Mr.Mellow]

Ultiho, I didn't know you were a bassist! Rock on, my friend. Lots of bass players on the *DAMN forum. Most of them are in *NADS I think! Therefore, you should join *NADS...yes.

[bronto]

oh sqwerd oh sqwerd. we need a *nads jam band. ulti lives near me too. i will get it together to chill one day soon.

[Mr.Mellow]

Hmm...if we all had GarageBand we could pass around a file and like. create sexy *NADS music.

[bronto]

lay down some bass and a beat and then i'll see if i can record a guitar track. you pick the genre, i'll try not to suck.

[Supernatural Pie]

I have yet to figure out why people love Citizen Kane so much.

I watched it in a Film Analysis class this year... and I had to fight to stay awake. What an absolutely horrendous movie.

Also: One I completely forgot about when I made my top 10 list: True Lies. That'd be way up there near the top. Awesome movie... and with Ahhhnold!

[BFG]

... The third Man. That without question is a freaking awesome film for the cinematography alone.

[DarK.]

Coach Carter would make my top 20

[bronto]

You've probably only seen 20 films if coach carter is among the top.

[DarK.]

Bronto, its a difference of opinion, I had to stop myself flaming here.  But Bronto you went to see coach carter high, and how many times have you played basketball for your school?  Ive played for 2 years.  Anyway  its a difference of opinion and you have already expressed your feelings about coach carter in "what movies have you seen recently?" so why keep bringing it up?  This topic is 10 best: so my adding coach carter to my top 20 isnt off topic but you bashing it is.
