Hawg, by the looks of your list you need to see Leon The Professional if you haven't. One of the best movies no one has ever heard about. The debut of a 13 year old Natalie Portman (from The Nati BTW). Wicked and demented movie that is spectacular from beginning to end. Portman at 13 is better than most actresses ever dream of. Brilliant flick.

Funniest and most poignant.

Groundhog Day

"It's Grounghog Day..........again."

Rita: I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. It's inspiring in a way.
Phil: My years are not advancing as fast as you might think.

Lots of great movies mentioned...Can't go wrong with Godfather I & II, Tombstone, Goodfellas etc...

Got to give "Cool Hand Luke" some more love though...Only saw it mentioned once...

"What we got here is, failure to communicate...Some men you just can't reach..."

And I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. (at least with my quickly skimming over the thread attention span, I didn't see it mentioned)

Unforgiven

This will be in my top three every time and depending on my mood will be #1 sometimes...

I'm surprised to see the lack of love given to my all time favorite movie: Saving Private Ryan. Also one thats definitley in my top 5, maybe top 3 would be The Boondock Saints. Making a list, however, would be almost impossible for me, but here's some of my favorites in no particular order:

We Were Soldiers
Airplane
Saving Silverman
Black Hawk Down
Signs
Hotel Rwanda
Napoleon Dynamite
Meet Joe Black
The Sandlot
Old School
The Patriot

Guilty pleasure of mine would be the Jurassic Park trilogy, I don't know why, but I'm entertained by dinosaurs chasing man!
Minority Report

Training Day
The Green Mile
Mothman Prophecies

OK, after this thread re-surfaced, i decided that I have narrowed it down to 10 all time for me.

1. Boondock Saints. I've watched it 100+ times and it still keeps getting better.

2. Clerks. Truly brilliant for a film that made people think and cost less than $30,000.

3. The Usual Suspects. Top notch performances, great story, exhilerating....really, what more do you want?

4. Reservoir dogs. Too many great lines to quote.

5. True Romance. Christopher Walken's performance ALONE adds creditability to this movie. Not to mention that this is the story of the NEW American Dream.

6. Fight Club. If you are a man, you liked the concept of this movie.

7. Snatch. Say what you will, this will be Guy Ritchie's Gold Standard. AND it was a pretty damn good movie.

8. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. If any of you have ever read it, The Battle of Helm's Deep is the greatest epic fantasy battle of all time. It was portrayed marvelously and it still sends chills up my spine as does the battle between the Balrog and Gandolf at the beginning of the film.

9. American History X. Just a great film. This one is truly a biased "personal favorite", but what the hell, this one is MY list, right?

10. The Professional. I cannot believe that this movie is over a decade old. Great, great movie. The acting was good, but the plot was even better. I honestly wish there had been some sort of sequel to that movie. Maybe the only one that I can say that about.


There, that is it. There are hundreds of thousands of lists that would be different, but I think that this is a good one. The fact that I have omitted classics in my top ten should not infer that many of the great films of all time are nowhere on my list, but like anything else, film-making evolves, and becomes a more "refined" art as time goes on. I am sure that 10 years from now, my list will likely change again.
