Lord of the Rings doesn't deserve all the press it's getting. It was mediocre at best. I can't believe they got away with a half assed ending by saying 'Don't worry about the ending, the story will continue in the next one.' WTF!?! I don't care! George Lucas never did that to me with his trilogies! Show me a fuckin complete movie damnit! I got more fantasy entertainment out of The Neverending Story than TLOTR!

I gotta say I enjoyed The Hobbit series when I was a child.

Office Space
Something About Mary
Wall Street
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
As Good As It Gets

Fight Club
Memento
Trainspotting
Taxi Driver
Neverending Story

Exactly. I thought I was the only one. I will wait until all three are out and then watch them all in a row.

Don't forget 'Snatch' :thumbsup

snatch is always good

:thumbsup

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Usual Suspects
Rounders
Snatch
The Godfather
Casino
Goodfellas


I'll stop there. That's just a few off the top of my head.

Your list ROCKS! I'm going with "what she said" :)

Top 5... there is now way.. but here goes

1 TheGodfather
2 The Shawshank Redemption
3 Casablanca
4 Star Wars
5 Dr. Strangelove

You know what... if I didn't hate Laura Linny and Richard Gere so much 'Primal Fear' would have been on my list... just because Edward Norton (the most fabulous actor ever to grace the earth) is the supreme god of Hollywood.

FYI: Edward Norton, 33-years-old, speaks fluent Japanese, graduate of Yale, great voice, adorable yet handsome face, hot body (see: AMX), killer choice in roles... the perfect man.

That's an interesting numbering system you've got there.

Yes.. yes it is :glugglug

The Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Dr Strangelove
Snatch
Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels

I can't stop at just five. Another 3.

Platoon
Mean Machine
Braveheart

Non Horror:

Pulp Fiction
Clerks
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Horror:

The Beyond
Dawn of the Dead
The Evil Dead
Bad Taste
Phantasm

:thumbsup

I gotta say, the only thing I can fault you on is not being able to count, but that's the best list. Any "package" you put up there would win. I've never seen anybody else mention Run Lola Run, which is an awesome movie. First time I watched it was the original German vocal track and it's amazing how you can still understand the story without knowin what the hell they're saying.

Good job!:thumbsup

if going to include horror flicks, have to include the original Exorcist and the video of my marriage and the sequel

MEAN MACHINE?!?!?! Man you really are a fan of Vinny Jones! I agree with Lock STock and Snatch, both are excellent movies, but Mean Machines was just good, not the same caliber. It was a rental.

Althought Shawshank and Fight club are fantastic movies, gotta give you props for those ones! :winkwink:

Me neither.

Trainspotting, Snatch, Kes, Sen To Chihiro No Kami Kakushi, Lock Stock, Boyz N The Hood, Menace II Society, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, The Matrix, Ringu, Spiderman, A Bronx Tale, Fight Club, Goodfellas, Hope And Glory, Ame Agaru, Die Hard, Natural Born Killers, Loser, Stand By Me, The Lion King, Coyote Ugly, You've Got Mail, Toy Story, Rain Man, Suna No Utsuwa, Robocop, A Thousand Acres, Mobsters, Traffic and The Shawshank Redemption.

1. original Star Wars Trilogy
2. Aliens
