what is this movie:
Edukators?
I like:
Forrest Gump
Big Fish
A Beautiful Mind
Kill Bill I, but ESPECIALLY Kill Bill II
There's Something About Mary
The Godfather
It's a Wonderful Life
This is Spinal Tap
And I also like some violent-type movies:
Gladiator
Braveheart
Scarface
etc.
Goose, I really like these :
Forrest Gump
Big Fish
but not any of the others. especially NOT Kill Bill. That was a total piece of horsemarm.
I need to doubleshock LA confidential and Memento, which I don't think alot of people saw.
Pi
Blade Runner
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
El Mariachi
Cinema Paradiso (original shorter version)
Mad Max
The Godfather I & II
Miller's Crossing
O Brother Where Art Thou?
The Straight Story
So This Is Spinal Tap
The Usual Suspects
Sweet & Lowdown
So I Married An Axe Murderer
The Graduate
Amadeus
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Schindler's List
Gladiator
Midnight Run
Its A Wonderful Life
LA Confidential
The Shawshank Redemption
The Bridge Over The River Kwai
The Manchurian Candidate (new version)

The Player
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Christmas Story
Good lists, keep it up. I am going to try and make a master list of good movies. This way, if I am ever wanting something to watch and cant think of anythign to rent, I can consult the list. You all can as well.
K - will be interesting to see your list in 5-10 years. I suspect it will shift toward annimated movies...much like mine would. The ratio of animated to live action movies in the past 5 years: 8:1
I vote No. I would suggest that that there are tons and tons of opportunities to help people in this country that would not require the 2-year committment.
weird - that last comment posted to the wrong post...I think. Should go with the Peace Corps blog.
cool hand luke,the sixth sense, all the indiana joneses,
doubleshock: unbreakable, and i should also doubleshock wild things, just for the soundtrack
how could i forget
gangs of new york
fight club
and
SLING BLADE!!!!
emmmuh!
Donnie Darko, Ninja Scroll, The Big Lebowski, Alien(s), The Shining, 6th Sense(the 1st time), The Seven Samurai & The Magnificent Seven, The African Queen, and as far as concert movies, Slayer's "war at the warfield" is fuckin bad.
Most of K's list would match mine with a few exceptions like Mad Max and Pi. I'd add:
The Jerk
Winged Migration
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Rear Window
and
Sunset Boulevard
And I'd like to second K's vote for Cinema Paradiso...probably my favorite of all time.
(PS I cried during Ernest Goes to Camp).
Tschy: Animated movies aren't usually too bad. Emperor's New Groove was great. So was the first Toy Story.
my master list of 100 movies (there are actually only 93 as i am still looking for a few more) is here
fooie, I can't believe it took you that long to remember Gangs of New York. I thought about that the instant I saw you first list.
I would sub in Ernest goes to Jail for Ernest goes to camp. It is so much funnier. It doesn't have all the cutesy kids stuff. Ernest saves Halloween is worth a rental too.
I don't believe I saw these favs:
Office Space
Army of Darkness
The Man Who Knew Too Little
any of which I could watch over and over.
Thanks for reminding me to rent Almost Famous. There's a good chance I'll see Pat Fugit at my Urban Scout class this summer. If he's there I'll try to get in his group.
finally a subject worth the cow, i saw none of these on the list never ending story, goonies, stand by me, rainman, big trouble in little china, the usual suspects,... here are a few to check out if you get time cause me likie and thats all that matters, arlington road, a murder of crows, ravenous, freeway, and the cherry to all lists, they live, i mean you take 1 part aliens, mix with 2 parts roudy roddy piper, and you have cinema gold, love windy city heat, get the hell off me
