I don't know if I can make a list, but I will put some movies into tiers.

Tier #1
-LA Confidential
-Goodfellas
-Taxi Driver
-Requiem for a Dream
-American Beauty
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
-Memento
-Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
-The Godfather I & II
-Dark City (!)
-The Shining
-Fight Club

Tier #2
-Casablanca
-Hot Fuzz
-Casino Royale
-Bourne Ultimatum
-The Dark Knight
-Pulp Fiction
-A Clockwork Orange (its been way too long since i've seen this)
-Minority Report
-Terminator 2
-The Matrix
-The Truman Show

That was difficult. I kept going back to tier 1 to add more movies and contemplated splitting it into 2. Next time, I will put some more thought into it.

Great movie. The "Flours" and "Whole Wide World" acoustic scenes are some of the best Ferrell's ever done, IMO. I would love to see him in more understated roles like that one.

As for The Shining...Duvall's razzie was well deserved, she was horrible in that movie.

RoyHall#1 · 03-09-2009, 06:36 PM

She was horrible... but I don't know, I thought it didn't really take away from the movie. It kinda fit. I can't explain it...

I just jizzed in my pants watching the Star Trek trailer during Heroes.

TACKLE · 03-09-2009, 10:32 PM

I'm surprised so many people have V for Vandetta on their list. I had such high hopes for it when it came out and then when I saw it, I was dissapointed. It was alright but it fell well short of my expectations. My expectations were probably too high but when I saw it again, I just didn't think it was that good. It definitely had some cool action scene's but it seemed like it was trying to be something that it wasn't.

I'm a little late on this, but Pineapple Express is a bomb-ass movie.

djp · 03-09-2009, 11:55 PM

I'm probably behind but I just saw the trailer for Inglourious Basterds and it looks freaking sweet.

Saw the trailer for Public Enemies before Watchmen and it looks pretty cool. Hope they don't **** it up.

I just watched it online. Looks pretty damn awesome to me. It would be hard to mess it up with Depp and Bale in it.

Im very very excited for Public Enemies. That trailer looks so ridiculously badass. I have been waiting for a hardcore action movie set in the early 1900's. Gun fights with Tommy Guns=win. And look at the ******* cast. Depp, Cotillard, Crudup and Bale. Awesome.

OH MY GOD

it looks absolutely incredible

fenikz · 03-10-2009, 03:24 AM

The grumpy old man is funny

"and don't worry, I saw Lord of the Rings, this is not the kind of movie that will end 17 times"

Bwahahahaha. Loved it.

I finally saw Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, great stuff; how did i miss this movie for four years? They did such a superb job of making a movie within a movie about a movie within a movie. Val Kilmer as an actor trying to play a *** guy = perfection and how is Michelle Monaghan not a superstar right now? She was a scene stealer in the movie, which is quite the accomplishment going up against a sublime Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer.

So many quotable lines in this movie, but my favorite line is not the one I opened this post with; I like this one best instead: (paraphrasing here) 'Mother said I was a neon baby because when the neon lights would come on I would wake up'.

Thank you for the rec, such a fun, well made movie.

Warner Bros. is negotiating with Martin Campbell to direct "Green Lantern," the live-action film based on the DC Comics hero.

Campbell last directed "Casino Royale" and recently wrapped the Mel Gibson starrer "Edge of Darkness," based on the 1985 BBC miniseries that Campbell helmed.

The emergence of Campbell, who also helmed two "Zorro" films and the 007 film "GoldenEye," puts "Green Lantern" at the top of DC properties being set for movie treatment by WB. While the studio is hoping director Chris Nolan will follow its 2008 smash "The Dark Knight" with another Batfilm, DC projects such as Superman and "Justice League" were expected to happen quickly, but have stalled.

Instead, the hot DC titles are "Green Lantern" and "Jonah Hex," the latter of which has Josh Brolin set to play a disfigured gunslinger in a film that begins production in April, directed by Jimmy Heyward ("Horton Hears a Who").

Greg Berlanti wrote the "Green Lantern" script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.

Donald DeLine will produce with Berlanti.

Berlanti had once been considered to direct. Instead, WB has attached him to direct "This Is Where I Leave You," the upcoming Jonathan Tropper novel which will be adapted by the author.

Michelle Monaghan is KKBB is like my perfect woman...ahhh if only.

And I wont lie, I think my favorite part is definitely after they escape, with the Russian Roulette part.

"See, I just hit you for no reason, doesnt that suck?"

and the "You, stop multiplying!"

Very funny movie.

M.O.T.H. · 03-10-2009, 12:24 PM

ugh...I actually think the newest star trek trailer makes it look pretty good. What the hell is wrong with me? lol.

My dad was always into that crap so, perhaps I'll go with him to see in theatres. Because again, it actually looks pretty decent.
