Chicago White Sox Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not to be a dick, but I think The Dark Knight Rises is a bad Batman movie and easily the worst one in the new trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, "The Dark Knight" was the only GREAT film in the trilogy, however Batman Begins also gets high marks for changing the game when it comes to Batman film. That being said, the Arkham series of video games is arguably the best modern telling of a Batman story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not being a dick, it's telling the truth. Rises is a terrible movie, and the more you watch it the more you realize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Now, for a few of my personal choices -- in no particular order. Tombstone Back to the Future Shawshank Redemption Goodfellas Rocky Inception Stand by Me The Color of Money The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Pulp Fiction There are so many others, but I've not time to think of them at the moment.

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd have a hard time even listing them, so I'll do a slightly modified list... really good movies that get better the more often you watch them (not in order, just what pops into my head)... Jaws The Hunt for Red October The first 95% of The Abyss (I'm still bitter he had a fantastic film and stabbed it in the back with the super-goofy ending scenes) Sneakers Memento The Game The original Indiana Jones movie Inside Man The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Again, that's just off the top of my head, and specifically movies that I appreciate more and more over time, which I think is a hallmark of a very good film. But I'm also sure that other titles are slipping my mind that are even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 My two cents 1. Star Wars Trilogy - all three movies would be in my top 10, just easier to leave them as a package deal. 2. War of the Worlds - The original, not the steaming pile of feces with Cruise 3. Blazing Saddles 4. Hoosiers 5. Office Space 6. Clerks 7. Back to the Future 8. The Untouchables 9. The Godfather (1 and 2 are a package deal in my mind, and 3 doesn't exist) 10. White Men Can't Jump - Don't judge. I love the opening scene of the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Indy Jones (original trilogy) Lord of the Rings Star Wars Back to the Future Snatch Usual Suspects Lethal Weapon Die Hard Sandlot Under Siege (in my opinion an all time action classic) Original Terminator Saving Private Ryan Not a comprehensive list (and in no particular order), but all of the above are fantastic flicks and in almost all cases, movies that I'll watch any time they are on.

Both epic movies. I think True Lies was one of the best movies ever back when the sound systems at the movies were going crazy (and people were getting into in home surround sound). I remember our old neighbor friends dad was a tecky and he had one of those laserdisc players and the biggest speakers I've ever seen. We'd go over to our friends house and watch true lies and would always be blown away. Under Siege to me, while absolutley hokie, was badass too. Chuck Norris, Segal, and Arnold were the kings of action. Closet thing in recent year is the Expendable series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 My favorite movies in no particular order. Taxi Driver Cool Hand Luke Midnight Cowboy Goodfellas A Clockwork Orange Bride Of Frankenstein Apocalypse Now Monterey Pop Fargo Dr. Strangelove The Lord of the Rings (all three) Pulp Fiction The Graduate Dances With Wolves Arsenic and Old Lace It's really hard to stop at 15. Most of these might be interchangeable with at least another 15. These are all movies I've watched a whole lot of times and enjoy every time.
