Inspired by Roger Ebert and Martin Scorsese, I decided to pick my top 10 movies of the last decade. 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Fargo 3. The Usual Suspects 4. American Beauty 5. Good Will Hunting 6. Mallrats 7. Lone Star 8. The Player 9. Kingpin 10.Grosse Pointe Blank Honorable Mention: Bottle Rocket, Goodfellas, The Big Lebowski, Rushmore, Dumb and Dumber, Get Shorty, Three Kings, Out of Sight, Carlito's Way, Boyz in the Hood ------------------ "I'll drop kick those f*ckin' dogs if they come anywhere near me." visit www.swirve.com
How bout a Top 6. I reserve the right to change this list at any time: 1. Tommy Boy 2. Swingers 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Office Space 5. Boogie Nights 6. The Shawshank Redemption Honorable Mention (so far): Waiting for Guffman Heat Speed Clerks American Beauty X-Files The Movie The Game Private Parts ------------------ "All these white guys running onstage making believe they're in gangs...Gangs would chew 'em up and spit them out. They'd put peas and carrots alongside them. 'Yo wussup! My name is Eminem.' Really? I'd like to see you walk down the streets alone in Harlem at night and see where that Eminem stuff gets you." - Gene Simmons Metal Sludge [This message has been edited by TheFreak (edited August 23, 2000).]
That would be good dc. ------------------ "I'll drop kick those f*ckin' dogs if they come anywhere near me." visit www.swirve.com
I have to put in a vote for Fight Club. With all the previews, I thought it was just another "a bunch of guys get together to fight." Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The movie was a raging, inflammatory ride through what our place is in society. Truly an amazing movie. ------------------ I am Jack's message.
Get Shorty has to be on my list. I also really enjoyed Saving Private Ryan, The Big Lebowski, Wag The Dog, Outbreak (I likes the Dustin Hoffman), Clerks, The Firm (I don't know why, but I really liked this movie. Hated the book), Kingpin (Greatness!), Goodfellas (Also Greatness!), Swingers.... I guess that's 10. I'd also put Mallrats, Fargo, The Player, Boogie Nights, Three Kings, Out of Sight, Rushmore and Bottle Rocket as close contenders (and I could probably think of another ten movies that I really liked, too, if I kept thinking about it.) ------------------
Mine would be: 1) Forrest Gump 2) Dances with Wolves (Yes, I realize I'm alone here) 3) Pulp Fiction 4) Dazed and Confused 5) Shawshank Redemption 6) LA Confidential 7) Clerks 8) Farinelli 9) Grosse Point Blank 10) Braveheart I reserver the right to change this list at any time, and just a reminder: Rocketman said these were HIS Top Ten favorites, and I'm just following suit. This is a very subjective topic, so don't blast me too hard for Dances with Wolves. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
Lord Tree--I resisted temptation to put Fight Club somewhere in my list. I really enjoyed that flick, but I have so many friends who had nothing but loathing for it. I guess I'm a follower not a leader. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
Fight Club was horrible. Either it was WAY WAY ahead of it's time, or it really just stunk up the place. I'd vote for the latter. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
Pole, your not alone...Dances with Wolves broke new ground and was a great film in my opinion. A little long maybe...but still a great film. I would rank it right up there, too. Only the Kevin Costner bashers would berate this film. Ta-ton-ka = buffalo. As for Dazed and Confused filmed in Austin, I was amused by this movie but I thought it was a stinker. I had a friend as an extra in this film...one of those drugged out hippie alternative dudes. I think you could do better than to include this on your top 10 list(put down the bong and think a little more about it ). Of course, this is your Top 10...who cares what I think? I don't even have a top 10 for you to rag on. I thought Fight Club was good...except for the lame ending. Some people thought it was too violent but those are the people that always got beat up bad at the playground or near the buses in high school . Surf ------------------
Pole, What;s Farinelli? I liked the others on your list. My Top Movies-no order Good Will Hunting Saving Private Ryan Matrix Star trek First Contact LA Confidential StarGate Toy Story NJ Trilogy Batman Lion King Phantom Menace Galaxy Quest Independence day ------------------ "You've got 6 fouls, use them well" -Derrick Coleman
MallRats American Beauty Shaving Ryan's Privates Sex Trek: The Next Penetration Sex Trek II: The Wrath of Bob I can't think of any others right now. ------------------ I've posted so much that what I say must be true. The latest on Maurice Taylor
Achebe, don't forget about Pulp Friction and The Varsity Cheerleader Blues. ------------------ Don't you have anything better to do?
Did I see the same Pulp Fiction and American Beauty as everyone else? I thought those movies sucked! my top 5: The Shawshank Redemption Malcolm X Saving Private Ryan The Distinguished Gentlemen Above the Rim Of course, these are changing constantly and I can't even think of most of the movies I've seen from the last decade. ------------------
In no particular order; - The Fugitive - Shawshank Redemption - Dumb and Dumber - Independence Day - Austin Powers I - The Usual Suspects - Hot Shots Part Deux - Malcolm X Thats all I could think off the top of my head, I know I'm missing a crapload of good movies, but The Fugitive is one flick that definatley ranks among the best for me. Azim da Dream ------------------ We don't live for the destination. We live for the journey.
In no particular order... Pulp Fiction The Whole Nine Yards Gattaca Dogma Boyz In The Hood Goodfellas Forrest Gump There's Something About Mary My Blue Heaven And there was some Lauwrence Fishburne movie I saw a couple of weeks ago. He played an ex-con named Socrates trying to make a decent living and help his community... Anyone know the name? ------------------ WE WILL WATCH THEM FALL...
