Top 10 favorite movies

Good:
- Goodfellas
- Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amelie from Montmartre) (strongly recomend this)
- Scarface
- Cidade de deus (City of God)
- Raging Bull
- Léon
- La vita è bell (Life Is Beautiful)
- Big Fish
- Lost in Translation
- Magnolia

I've seen most of these movies, but honestly why put them in your top ten. It's kinda of a cliche, some people just dot down some interesting actionpacked movies (saving private ryan, american history x etc) or some standard comedies and others put films in their list that are highly regarded by the filmcritics or have a high IMDB rating. What's the point in both cases?

Isn't the whole point of a top ten favorite list that you put down the Ten movies you enjoyed the much? At least people who have meet the fockers in their list are actually honest. But I get sick to my stomach when others make these weird lists with movies that only appear in the higher ranks of the IMDB top 250. It sounds too fishy.

This is my list in no particular order

About Schmidt
(you gotta love Nicholson)

K-Pax
(same goes voor Spacey)

Rocky 4
(a poor movie really, but great anyhow. gotta love Ivan Drago)

Braveheart
(seen this many many times, has many faults but in my opinion beats the fuck out of movies like Gladiator, the Patriot or Troy)

Das Experiment
(Astounding)

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
(Read the book, seen the movie many times, a childhood favorite)

Monty Python's: life of Brian&the search for the Holy Grail
(love Medieval setting, humor and sense and senseless humor)

Batman 1
(Another childhood favorite...Nicholson laughing like crazy...unforgettable)

Lord of the Rings Trilogy
(great Epic)

Adaptation

My numer one movie at the moment is:

Old Boy

a Korean masterpiece, theatre at it's best! Best movie of 2004

May aswell post some quotes (from IMDB) too while I'm at it...

In no particular order:

White Men Can't Jump
Sidney: Oh man shut your anorexic malnutrition tapeworm-having overdose on Dick Gregory Bohemian diet-drinking ass up. Leave me alone!

The Warriors
Swan: Why did you waste Cyrus?
Luther: No reason... I just like doing things like that!

The Wanderers
Richie: You hear the whistle?
Buddy: Yeah. Ready to kick some ass!
[Joey and Turkey run by them]
Richie: Hey, Hey Joey! Who we fighting?
Joey: The Baldies!
Richie: The Baldies? Oh, shit!

Karate Kid 1, 2 and 3 (not the one with the chick though)
[Miyagi karate-chops the tops off three beer bottles]
Daniel: How did you do that? How did you do that?
Miyagi: Don't know. First time.

Bloodsport
Jackson: Time to separate the men from the boys.
Victor: Just be sure Chong Li doesn't separate your head from you body.

Shaft
Walter Wade, Jr.: Do you know who my father is?
Shaft: No, do you?

Mall Rats
[Silent Bob is trying to levitate a cigarette]
T.S. Quint: What's he doing?
Jay: Shithead here watched Empire and Jedi last week and ever since then, he's been trying to do the Jedi mind trick. The crazy fuck thinks he can levitate shit with his thoughts.
[slaps the cigarette out of Silent Bob's hand]
Jay: Knock it off.
Brodie: [to Silent Bob] The force is strong with this one.
Jay: Dude, don't encourage him.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Holden: If the buzz is any indicator, that movie's gonna make some huge bank.
Jay: What buzz?
Holden: The Internet buzz.
Jay: What the fuck is the Internet?

Beavis and Butthead Do America
Muddy Grimmes: You got any last words before I kill ya?
Butt-head: I got a couple - buttcheeks.
Beavis: Yeah - and boobs. I just wanna say that again... Boobs.
Muddy Grimmes: I'm gonna blow ya both to hell,that's what I'm goin' to do!
Butt-head: Cool.

Chopper
Interviewer: You've written a best-seller...
Chopper: Yeah, I know - and I can't even bloody spell. What about those poor bloody academics, those college graduates, battling their guts out to write some airy-fairy piece of exaggerated artwork? And here's a bloke, sitting in a cell, who can't spell, and he's written a best-seller. It's sold two hundred and fifty thousand copies. And it's still selling. And he's writing another one. And I can't even spell. I'm semi-bloody-illiterate.

I didn't choose them because other people think their great. I took them because I think their great and I really enjoy watching them. If I would have taken what other people think is great my list would have consisted of the godfather movies, the matrix movies and the lotr movies (out of all of those there are like two that I find good) and stuff like that...
I didn't put Meet the fockers or any movie like that for one reason; I do enjoy watching most of those movies, once, that's all. They seem to be so standardised to what everyone should find funny, that makes them just having this obvious humour that gets annoying if you see them again.
The movies I choose I really enjoy watching several times. I actually saw five of them within the last two weeks, three of them for the first time. Plus I own five of them on DVD and have seen all of them several times. There are three on that list that I have only seen once so far, so I guess I wouldn't do the other movies justice unless I saw them more times as well, but as I have not done that, I put them on the list anyway, just for the reason that I found them so good when I watched them.
Sorry if I ranted a little here, but I got a little sad by reading your post (:wink:), mostly because I really enjoy watching movies...


By the way, I remove Raging Bull and replace it with Kikijiros summer...

I didnt know your a Kevin Smith fan Jae Im surprised Dogma didnt make your list.
Chopper is a great movie, what a nut case. Eric Bana has done really well for himself, he was great as the Hulk and in Troy. I hear he used to do stand up, was he any good?

Oh yeah he was a fantastic comic actor. He used to be on a show called Full Frontal which was pretty huge over here in the early 90's. Dogma would've made the list, but I didn't wanna fill it up with Kevin Smith movies. I probably prefer Dogma to Mallrats actually, but I figured Mallrats is less likely to get a mention.

Poida !!

LMAO Mazzocchi have you ever had an original idea in your entire life?

LMAO Mazzocchi have you ever had an original idea in your entire life?

is it so horrible that i liked what you did and wanted to do the same thing myself?

Yes. Because you seem to do it very often, and to other people.

Yes. Because you seem to do it very often, and to other people.

they should be taking it as a compliment and not getting so uppity about it.
its a forum on the internet, calm down

For once, I agree with MAzz. It is an INTERNET FORUM. Besides, all he took was a movie off of your list. Why is that wrong? Iknow he's got a new reputation of stealing on the forum, but this is taking it a little too far.

[J@3]

Um... no it wasn't the movie he took lol

Also, why is it alright for him to run around copying people? He doesn't have a reputation, its just a proven fact. Maddox's site, Ghost Of Delete Key, various other things I can't think of at the moment.

10. Dont Be A Menace.
Grandma: Ashtray! You Little Bitch Ass Motherfucker! Come Over Here And Give Your Grandma A Hug!

Oh shit I over-read this one too
"Hey ashtray pass me that shit over there"
"You still hit like a Bitch"
Dont be a menace to the south central while drinking yo juice in da hood was the full name wasnt it? Haha that was one good movie at the time, havent seen it in forever

Nothing important, and if anyone else did it I wouldn't care.. the whole actual idea of the list he took (bold letters, movie quotes etc)... again it's nothing I give a shit about, I just like picking on Mazzocchi
