Top Ten Movies

[Mckma]

I guess I'll basically list 10 movies I enjoy watching (not necessarily good, just movies most of which I've seen more than once).

Clue - Another really funny movie that doesn't rely entirely on crude or slapstick humor

I'd say my favorite part of that movie related to slapstick humor:

[spoiler=Seriously This Part is Awesome]"I am your singing telegram --"  *BANG*[/spoiler]

A great part indeed, but I just appreciate that all of the humor isn't of that variety (as many modern movies are)...

I will admit that the pacing was a pretty good contributor to why that part was awesome.  Also, the third ending is the best.

I can't ever get over how beautiful Grace Kelly is in this. Jimmy Stewart's reluctance to marry her verges on science fiction.

And that full-scale apartment block set!

Yeah, Jimmy Stewart's character had a lot more wrong with him than just a broken leg. She's perfect in every way.

• The Producers (1968) - Very funny and I love to watch Gene Wilder act

One of Mel Brooks' best, and his directorial debut, I believe. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder > Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

I guess I'll basically list 10 movies I enjoy watching (not necessarily good, just movies most of which I've seen more than once).

• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension- May actually be my "favorite" movie if only because I've seen it something like 9 times and find it totally awesome for some reason.
• Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - Not necessarily amazing cinema, but it's a fun movie and so visually stimulating I could probably watch it twice in a row
• The Producers (1968) - Very funny and I love to watch Gene Wilder act
• Clue - Another really funny movie that doesn't rely entirely on crude or slapstick humor
• Raiders of the Lost Arc/The Last Crusade - Not sure if I could choose between them, changes based on the mood I'm in
• Hot Fuzz - I love the pacing of the movie and it's got a lot of absurd stuff in it
• Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - It has it's issues, but I like the leading actors a lot and it has some awesome music in it
• The Fifth Element - It's a wacky sci-fi movie with wacky stuff
• Ghostbusters - Great cast and great line delivery
• The A-Team - Only barely makes the list because I can't think of anything better.  Not that I don't like it, I just think there is probably something I would prefer

Honorable mention goes to The Room only because it is mind numbing and beyond description...

I guess a more accurate title for this list (and potentially for others as well) is, "If I could only watch 10 movies for the rest of my life" (hence the large number of comedies)...

Someone should tally up the numbers and rank the movies and create a "Top Ten for RPPR"

Just remembered what movie I wanted to replace The A-Team with: Fido.  I love this movie and I can't believe I forgot about it.  Absolutely hilarious and so much fun to watch.  Has anyone else seen it?

In no particular order:

Spaceballs
Clue (i randomly get the song stuck in my head thats playing while theyre pretending noones dead for the cop.)
Silence of the Hams
Loaded Weapon 1
Sweet Rain
Lucky Number Slevin
The Rocketeer
Pirates of the Caribbean 1 (even though 2 and 3 sucked so much I can't watch it anymore)
Project A/Project A 2
Dead Leaves

Honerable mentions:
Love Exposure - for a movie that starts out about a kung fu upskirt pornographer, it took a weird turn (several weird turns actually, was like they kept deciding to make another movie but keep the characters), and unfortunately was waaaaay too long.
Gymkata - hikeeba!
Super Mario Bros / Waterworld - I genuinely like these movies, not in a so bad its good way either
Mystery Men, The Brothers Bloom, The Goonies, Hackers, The Good The Bad and The Weird, and The Gamers 1&2.

Do you mean the original BBC miniseries / film version? Or the new travesty of a movie?

[Tadanori Oyama]

Or the new travesty of a movie?

Because it was poorly done, because if bears at most a passing likeness to the novel, or because John Malkovich was in it?

All three. (I typically like Malkovich too.)

Well...actually i was thinking more of the life moves pretty fast quote.

Often overlooked tidbit, the garage attendant in Ferris also played Spike in Super Mario Brothers. Because i know everyone was dying to know what else he's done.

That Ferris club thing was....to say the least odd.

In no particular order:

Sweepers - Dolph Lundgren: World's Greatest Dad Minesweeper
Predator - Saw this last night and thought it might make a good CoC one-shot
Blazing Saddles This enabled me to make jokes at work that nobody else gets. Kids these days.....
RoboCop - To me, this is just a perfect movie.
Commando - (see RoboCop)
Total Recall - (see Commando)
The Running Man - (see Richard Dawson)
John Carpenter's The Thing
Clue
This is Spinal Tap

I like Arnold movies. So what?

"Qualifications?"

"Stampeding cattle."

"That's not much of a crime.."

"Through the Vatican?"

"Kinky!"
