Movies: Your top 10 movies (in order)

[ottawa]

I tried putting together a list...it's hard. You can combine sagas since it'll make it easier, otherwise over half my top 10 would consist of LotR and Star wars

1. Lord of the Rings
2. Star Wars originals
3. Pulp Fiction
4. The Godfather
5. Kill Bill
6. Harry Potter
7. The Intouchables
8. The Breakfast Club
9. Planet of the Apes
10. The Big Short


Not a very original list, I haven't watched many movies clearly...4-10 are also subject to change as I've only put like 30 mins of thought into this.

Looked up the great dictator since I'd never heard of it (along with kingpin, dog day afternoon, shallow grave and apollo 13) and realized the famous Charlie Chaplin speech is from that, will definitely have to give that movie a watch

Only heard of Blade Runner here, which one would you recommend of the other 9 if you had to force someone to watch something at gunpoint

The safest and most breezy picks would be either Manhattan or My Neighbor Totoro. A lot of these others ones require serious investment.

Will definitely give both of them a go, thanks

 

[Fantomas]

Just realized that I did not include any Tarkovsky. But he is hard to watch. I save him for special occasions.

1. Forest Gump (yes, yes, I've heard the criticism on here)
2. Enemy of the State
3. Gravity
4. Lord of the Rings (not a fan of some of the CGI in the last one but still great)
5. Men In Black (this movie blew my mind when I was a kid)
6. Rumble in the Bronx
7. Yojimbo
8. Seven Samurai
9. Drunken Master 2
10. Armor of God 2

The numbering doesn't mean anything

HM

Man with no name movies
Snowpiercer (especially the first hour)
Remember the Titans
And of course the great christopher Nolan batman films

Pretty much nothing under the radar. Every non mainstream movie I see I hate.

Have you seen the Hong Kong original one (Internal Afairs)?

Infernal Affairs actually

 

[BGDDYKWL]

Have you seen the Hong Kong original one (Internal Afairs)? IMO better than The Departed.

I have not, but I have actually heard that so I'll have to check it out. I feel like as good as it was in general the star power really added to it. So that'll hurt Infernal Affairs for me personally, but I have heard it's fantastic.
