I’ve noticed near unanimity in threads about best TV series, so am surprised to see so much variation on favorite films.
Although they didn’t quite make my Top Five, I’m disappointed to see the following films go unmentioned:
Amadeus
Apocalypse Now
Mystic River
Saving Private Ryan
The Big Sleep
The Departed

… And the following deserve more than the single mention each has received.
Chinatown
Lawrence of Arabia
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Snatch

IMHO, of course! :stuck_out_tongue:

82

The Godfather
This is Spinal Tap
A Hard Day’s Night
Pulp Fiction
Up
mmm

83

Hey! Someone else who’s seen this movie! It didn’t make my list, but it’s a great movie.

I can’t find it now, but there used to be a Youtube video of some people doing an intervention for their friend whose favorite version of King Kong was the 1976 version.

The first part of it is word getting around that his favorite version is the 1976 version, and everyone being shocked, like he’s a armed robber, or a dog-rapist, or something. “He seems so normal!”

84

After the first several, this is forever changing, but…

  1. Willy Wonka (original)

  2. Dazed and Confused

  3. The Exorcist

  4. Grease

  5. Toys

  6. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

  7. Footloose

  8. Harold and Maude

  9. The Bad News Bears

… and the final spot is a revolving door of whichever horror movies have rocked my socks.

  1. It Follows / The Town that Dreaded Sundown (remake) / Oculus / Krampus / Goodnight, Mommy / The Little Girl that Lived Down the Lane / You’re Next / Pride and Prejudice and Zombies/ The Babadook and on and on and on. :smiley:

Runner up: Despicable Me

85

Well, you know, people can be just so judgmental. Obviously the guy was merely stupid.

86

This time I’ll just list five fairly recent popular films that you all might have heard of, random order as I thought of them.

As Good as it Gets
You Can Count on Me
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
Palookaville
In Bruges

87

He was probably like 16 and couldn’t get his head around those stupid old black and white movies. Because if it’s not in COLOR, it might as well be a ‘how to do your taxes’ PSA from the 1950’s shown on an ancient projector.

(Nothing against color! :rolleyes: When I’m watching ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?’ I always wonder why his hair is that reddish color, and growing out at that. Maybe one of his sisters wanted to try out a bottle of Miss Clairol, on him first :D.)
