The Warriors
Hellraisers (any of the first 5 only)
Prince of Tides
Grumpy old Men
Grumpier old Men
The Crow
High Plains Drifter
American Pie prt.1or2
Spinal Tap
A Clockwork Orange

Ok i'm slowly realizing that I should've done this categorically cause how could I leave out Tombstone or Outlaw Josey Wales? Even the Dirty Harry flicks should be in there plus Risky Business.

Clint kicks ass! I love just about all his stuff, and Outlaw was also one that I could of mentioned!

It's weird, when I was little, I used to hate all those old westerns because Dad used to watch them ALL the time, but now I'm going back and starting to enjoy them a lot. I like Clint's old stuff, his Sergio Leone movies especially (Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Fistful of Dollars, etc.). And also Hang 'Em High is cool.

Anyway, here's my top 10:

1. Chasing Amy
2. Goodfellas
3. Magnolia
4. Ghostbusters
5. Breakfast Club
6. Pulp Fiction
7. Rushmore
8. American Beauty
9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
10. Kill Bill

Keep in mind these fluctuate practically daily. These were the first that came to mind.

Well, it's entertaining, well-written and acted, it appeals to me. I'm not sure what to tell you. Glad I could amaze you with my opinion on a movie, though.

7. Rambo III

Ooooh, okay, your response to mine makes total sense now.

 

[Lefty Wilbury]

how can anyone not like chasing amy?


Hooper X: For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, is introduced USUALLY by my white artist names. They got SLAPPED with racist names that singled them out as Negros! Now--my book, "White-Hating Coon", don't have any of that bull-shit. The hero's name is Maleequa and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet while all you European motherfuckers were all hiding out in caves n'shit, terrified of the sun. He's a strong role-model that a young black reader can look up to. 'Cause I'm here to tell ya: the chickens are coming home to roost, y'all. The black man is no longer going to be playing the minstrel in the medium of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We're keeping it real! And we're going to get respect by any means necessary.

Holden : Ah, c'mon, that's a bunch of horseshit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy, y'know, he got to fly the Millenium Falcon! What's the matter with you!

Hooper: Who said that?

Holden: I did. Lando Calrissian is a positive role-model in the realm of science fiction fantasy.

Hooper: Hey, FUCK Lando Calrissian!


Hooper: Uncle-Tom ******, heh. It's always some white boy got to invoke the holy trinity. Bust this! Those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother-man down--even in a galaxy far far away. Check this shit. You got cracker farmboy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy blond hair blue eyes. Then you got Darth Vader, blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian god!

Banky : What's a nubian?

Hooper: Shut the fuck up! Now. Vader, he's a spiritual brother, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a lightsaber, and the boy decides HE'S gonna run the whole fucking universe! Gets a whole KLAN of whites together and they go bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star! Now what the fuck do you call that?

Banky: Intergalatic civil war?

Hooper: Gentrification!! They gonna drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote-unquote safe for white folks! In "Jedi," the most insulting installment when Vader's beautiful black visage is SULLIED when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty old white man! They trying to tell us that deep inside, we all wants to be WHITE!!!

Banky: Well, isn't that true?
(Hooper quickly grows furious, pulls out a gun, releases the safety, kicks over the podium and shoots Banky several times, and Banky falls, clutching his chest. All the other speakers and audience members (excluding Holden and Alyssa who we are about to meet) dive for cover or scatter screaming as...)

Hooper: (shooting into the air): Black rage!!! Black rage!!! I kill all white folks I lay my motherfuckin' eyes on!!

I didn't like the movie because it's not entertaining. It's 'not' well-written, and the acting was nothing special.

(shrug) - I'm glad it appeals to you.

I thought the title of this thread was "Top 10 Flicks" not "Bash everyone else's top 10".

I find you pathetic.
