February 6, 200422 yr Being There!! Good old Chauncy Gardener - Sellers saved the best for last. So did Melvin Douglas. I saw Ninotchka and Being There back to back. In reverse order. BTW....seeing the Spinal Tap....where's the Producers and Young Frankie?
February 6, 200422 yr The Matrix X-Men Titanic Scarface Planet of the Apes Godfather (all of them) Kickboxing (Van Dam is amazing in that movie) Forest Gump (used to be my nickname lol) The Good the Bad and the Ugly (one of my favorite western movies) The Wizard of Oz (classic movie) Add in: Remember the Titans (one of my favorite movies up to date)
February 6, 200422 yr Riveting Ellen Burtyn (later robbed by Horsey McMarriagebreaker)? Check Jen Connely's ever excellent bush? Check Unwatchable last 20 minutes? Check One of the greatest trailers I ever seen was for LOTR: Two Towers set to Clint Mansell's score. Just wow.
February 6, 200422 yr Santo, is that movie really "disturbing"? The registered members on IMDB seem to believe so. Several babies on that site mentioned how they cried at the end of the movie......is it really that depressing?
February 6, 200422 yr I'll amend my secondary list to include A Hard day's Night (which deserves inclusion) if FlaSoxxJim will tell us if the Graduate belongs in his first or second list rather than both!
February 6, 200422 yr So did Melvin Douglas. I saw Ninotchka and Being There back to back. In reverse order. BTW....seeing the Spinal Tap....where's the Producers and Young Frankie? Young Frankenstein AND it's inspiration, James Whale's masterpiece the Bride of Frankenstein (the high point of the classic Universal Horror era) SHOULD be in the list. It was hard enough to hold it to 30! The Producers is way up there, too, and a great film I have not seen in several years.
February 6, 200422 yr I'll amend my secondary list to include A Hard day's Night (which deserves inclusion) if FlaSoxxJim will tell us if the Graduate belongs in his first or second list rather than both! I just like it twice as much as you I guess!
February 6, 200422 yr Anyone else think Scarface is really overrated? I can think off the top of my head many better gangster movies than it; Goodfellas, Miller's Crossing, The Untouchables, The Godfather series and I'm sure there are more. I just never understood the hype of Scarface. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I just won't put it in the same league as some of the greats.
February 6, 200422 yr Anyone else think Scarface is really overrated? yes. always has been. and for some reason impossible to fathom, always will be.
February 6, 200422 yr I'm not a big movie buff but these are the dvd's that will always make my day. Forrest Gump One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The Big Lebowski Office Space The Blues Brothers
February 6, 200422 yr These are only recent ones that I can remember, Saving Private Ryan Training Day Snatch Pirates of the Caribbean

There are some disturbing images, but if you don't do drugs, you shouldn't be disturbed.
February 6, 200422 yr Yep Scarface is over-rated. Traitor...... I just watched scarface last night for the first time. Solid movie.
February 6, 200422 yr 10 american flix that I like a lot: -Clockwork Orange Hot DAMN! Is that a good movie or what!? I also nominate The Shawshank Redemption. Love that movie.
February 6, 200422 yr Traitor...... Lol, solid doesn't mean best movie ever. I thought it was a good movie, but it gets really hyped as if it was the best movie of all time. Just my two cents. I prefer Braveheart, but I don't know what my all time favorite movie is.
February 6, 200422 yr Mine: All three LOTR flicks Star Wars Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Hoop Dreams The Matrix (first only, the next two sucked ) Braveheart Raiders of the Lost Ark Forrest Gump
February 6, 200422 yr Um, lots of my top movies have already been mentioned, but here are some of mine that haven't already been brought up: Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet and Henry V When Harry Met Sally (I know, I know) A Night at the Opera (Anything Marx Brother's--or Charlie Chaplin) Trainspotting It's a Wonderful Life Sense and Sensibility and the BBC Pride and Prejudice Clueless Amelie Memento Cool Hand Luke Life of Brian Monty Pythan and the Holy Grail Beauty and the Beast (yes, the cartoon...)
February 6, 200422 yr Young Frankenstein AND it's inspiration, James Whale's masterpiece the Bride of Frankenstein Believe it or not, I have NEVER seen those Boris Karloff flix in their entirety. I know it's canon....but still. I think hippie child Rose McGowan looks uncannily like Whale's favorite actress Elza something-semething, tho. When you say "James Whale" you know what comes to mind? That unforgettable portrayal by one of my faves Sir Ian Mckellan in Gods and Monster.
February 6, 200422 yr Anyone else think Scarface is really overrated? Without question. But then again, seeing Pacino chewing some major f***in' scenery is one of life's better pleasures.
February 6, 200422 yr Hot DAMN! Is that a good movie or what!? . Watch it Zero....lest you get some in the yarbles, you bloody jelly eunuch, you.
