Just checking to see what everyone's into. Here is a list of my top 10 favorite movies and I've seen ALOT of films. I'm old.

 

 

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower

2. Martyrs

3. Zootopia

4. 8MM

5. The Shawshank Redemption

6. Se7en

7. Up

8. Gone Baby Gone

9. In the Valley of Elah

10. Zodiac

 

 

 

As you can see, my taste is all over the place. I have horror, drama, animated, mysteries and thrillers. The only one I would really not recommend seeing is Martyrs. It is a French extreme horror film that is completely disturbing. It's a brilliant movie, but it stuck with me for months. I think I might have gotten a touch of PTSD after watching it. It's like nothing I've ever seen from an American film, so watch it at your own risk. If you can look passed the brutality, it's a masterpiece. 

 

I know some people will look at my top rated film and laugh, but there is something about that film that gets to me every time I watch it. I just think it's a great story with wonderful acting.

In no particular order, here is a list of 10 films I like: 

 

The Godfather

The Godfather II

Lawrence of Arabia

Dr. Strangelove

Casablanca

Ran

Seven Samurai

Unforgiven

Schindler's List

Ben Hur

 

As you can see, a pretty ordinary list. 

 

A couple of others that almost made the list:

 

The Lord of the Rings trilogy

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Saving Private Ryan

Seven Days in May
In NPO..


Pulp Fiction

Rob Zombie's Halloween

The Apple Dumpling Gang

The Breakfast Club

Stephen King's IT

Tombstone

Jaws

Enemy at the Gates

Gladiator

The Dark Knight 

A River Runs Through It

A Knight's Tale

Ten Things I Hate About You

No judgement on Armegeddon. Everyone has a guilty pleasure. Smile While Lethal Weapon 4 may not be my favorite movie of that series, I believe it's among the top 3 franchise of all time. I love them. The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover was fantastic. I was lucky enough to meet Danny Glover once. He's a lot taller than I expected and he's a super nice guy. 
1 The Prestige

2 Saving Private Ryan

3 Fight Club

4 Shaw-shank Redemption

5 Empire Strikes Back

6 Cinderella Man

7 Guardians of the Galaxy

8 The Dark Knight (should have been called the Joker)

9 Pulp Fiction

10 American Beauty

I never truly loved those movies but it is probably the best character development of any movies ever.

My wife and I both loved it. It just struck a chord with us. You're the first person besides the 2 of us I have heard say that they liked it!
