1549 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I had a discussion at a friends house about top-10 movies of all time. Though I couldn't decide on 10 there are 5 that really stick out for me. (these are not in any particular order) 1- Forest Gump 2- Ben Hur 3- Scarface 4- The Godfather 5- Rocky those are my five favorites. Anybody else have some movies that they think deserve to be considered the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirror, too. brother The lead actor died, along with the crew, in the HUGE avelanche 2 years ago. Having said that, this movie is utter garbage. Enjoy your bath What's a bath? Russian Ark kidnapping caucassian style the diamond arm Andrei Mironov was a brilliant comic actor. Died of aneurysm ON STAGE at 45. While Sharon MENSA Stone lives on. There is no God.

Texsox Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Last Night at the Alamo (1983) Starring: Sonny Carl Davis, Louis Perryman Director: Eagle Pennell Synopsis: Offbeat, character-driven black comedy about urban cowboys hanging out at Houston bar. Fans of talky, bitterly ironic fare enjoy this entertaining sleeper, with its riotous script, strong character portraits. Runtime: 80 minutes MPAA Rating: Not Rated Genre: Comedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 about urban cowboys hanging out at Houston bar.. First of all, they were gay urban cowboys. And secondly, there was pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 cw I am so disappointed I was looking for on your list it was close to being there! but as a movie, it was not of the best films ever - just one I enjoyed a great deal but I did think about it!

FlaSoxxJim Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I agree with Brando - it's torture to come up with 5 and even 10 is hard. Here goes: - Citizan Kane - Cassablanca - Diner - Dr. Strangelove, OHILTSWALTB - Metropolis (Big ups to cw for listing "M" - Fritz Lang and a murderous Peter Lorrie, what a combination!) - Nosferatu - Star Wars (A New Hope) - Godfather's 1 and 2 - The Graduate - any of the films below, depending on the mood... On any given day, these could also crack the list: - The Graduate - Papillon - This is Spinal Tap - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - Woodstock - Seven Samuri (cw and Brando score again, Ran also rocks) - The Matrix - The Excorcist - Jaws (despite the fact that Benchley-cum-Spielberg perhaps doomed large pelagic sharks to almost certain extinction by striking some dormant primal nerve in us, the film is riviting) - Raiders of the Lost Ark - African Queen - Bad News Bears - Alien - Good Fellas - Manhattan and Annie Hall - A Hard Day's Night - Nightmare Before Christmas - Pinnochio (Yes, that Disney "cartoon") - Harold and Maude - Battleship Potemkin - Blues Brothers You did say favorite 30 films, right?
