[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

Why Conan the Barbarian is NOT on this list is beyond me, but it is absolutely my favorite currently and for the last few years

[–] TedJolly (18) 7 years ago

No love for Back to the Future?

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I do love them, only so many spots on the list. I already pushed it to 122. The first one is so great but I've always had a soft spot for number 2. Part III it takes me being in the right mood but I love it too

[–] TedJolly (18) 7 years ago

I also love Shattered Glass.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

Anybody who thinks Hayden Christiansen sucks has never seen that movie. Also I love Peter Sarsgard and Chloe Sevigny in everything, and Melanie Lynskey is also great

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Shattered Glass was underrated

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Im a reasonable fan of the trilogy. Overall of 7.5/10

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

I still need to see that one.

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Nice list.

We have a few in common, so that's cool.

Some of yours are close contenders (ex: american beauty, road to perdition)

Glad to see BAsketball Diaries on your list

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

Road to Perdition is so good, I could watch it daily (if there weren't so many unseen things to watch.) I was surprised to see Carlito's Way on your list. I can't like that no matter how hard I try.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

Hey I turned 300! Didn't notice until it was done and gone

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

lol congrats Pete

[–] captainbucky (15252) 7 years ago

Yeah!

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

It'S a generally loved movie I think. I saw it only once and it stayed with me.

'' Oh, you up against me now, motherfuckers! I'm gonna blow your fuckin' brains out! You think you're big time? You gonna fuckin' die big time! You ready? HERE COMES THE PAIN!''

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I feel like that's Pacino's worst accent work. He's supposed to be Puerto Rican but he recycled his Southern drawl from Scent of a Woman. I can't get past it.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

DAAAAMN! That is one impressive list, Stone.

😎

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Right? right!?

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I haven't thought about Spun in a while. That's a great movie. I had a DVD at one point and a former roommate became suspiciously obsessed with it and stole it. I think he's definitely a tweaker, or was, but I remember that movie fondly.

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

I saw it at least 3 times. Enjoyed it each time.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Trading Places.

That is all.

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Yeah, yeah, we know.

Although Coming to America is twice as funny and twice as good.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

I just noticed that you gave out of lot of 10s there, Stone. Interestingly enough, you left out the only film I've ever given
a 10: 2001: A Space Odyssey. That is the greatest film of all time, by the greatest director of all time, imho.

😎

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

I saw it for the first time ever 2 years ago, I think. I enjoyed it, rate it a 8.

So you never gave a 10/10 to any other movie?

Strange.

I must have seen over 5000 movies so 30 rating of 10/10 isn't much I think.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Apparently I'm a tougher grader than you. I remember when I first saw 2001 like it was yesterday. I was stunned and mesmerized by this film. I came home and sat in the living room and just thought about it for about three hours. I've never felt quite like that after any other film.

You have certainly seen a lot of films. 5,000 films would be one a day for 13.69 years if my calculator is correct. Impressive.

😎

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

2001 is boring and overrated.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Sigh. No offense, but I really cannot comprehend that line of thinking.

😎

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Painfully dull, pretentious, self-indulgent

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Oh young Grasshopper.............you have made my heart sad.

😎

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

We agree to disagree.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Very sadly......yes. My heart is still sad.

😎

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Yeah I might be exagerating a bit..

i own 1400 movies so I will safely say that I saw at least twice that amount.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Just messin' with you. You are a movie watchin' machine!

😎

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Yeah buddy!

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

I aspire to your level of movie watching excellence.

😎

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

I'm stunned by anyone's ability to list one hundred items of anything, to say nothing of ranking them.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Yep, it's pretty impressive. I usually list only 10 or 20 of anything.

😎

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Haha!

I have fun doing this. It's a good time killer but like I said, it didn't take too long since I copy pasted from my Collection list on which I have 1523 movies listed AND rated.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

Pssssst! Don't reveal your secrets to the great unwashed masses.

😎

[–] captainbucky (15252) 7 years ago

I admire your attention to detail. I don't think I could actually sit down and rank 100 movies I have seen. I love some of your choices. If i had a top 100 Basketball Diaries would be close to the top, as would American History X and Fight Club.

Also love Bio-Dome. I have seen a few Polly Shore (Sp?) stand up shows and he is exactly like that in real life.
Without ranking, here is a few of my favorites.

What about Bob?
The Social Network
Zombieland
Princes Bride
Neverending Story

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Ahh Shiiit, I forgot Neverending story, which is a 9 for me! Dwam!

Social Network left me rather cold.

Btw, I keep a document of all the movies I own and I rate each one of them so I mainly copy pasted my list from there.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 7 years ago

Also on my list would be Gran Turino and who framed roger rabbit?

That's an awesome project. I kinda wished I rated and cataloged every movie I've seen.

If i did that now I would be biased. Movies I loved as a kid, movies I love now, movies I don't love know but still find them good.

[–] GlenEllyn (21577) 7 years ago

To be honest, when I read your post title I thought you were listing your Top 100 Ladies and Top 100 Men. 🤔

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Just re-read it and wow, I can see how that happened.

Changed it.

[–] GlenEllyn (21577) 7 years ago

You're not alone. I've seen other post titles that are a bit misleading. But maybe it's me and my twisted mind. I'm not above misunderstanding what a person meant.

Kudos for re-titling it.

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

Im french so it'S harder for me to catch those.

[–] GlenEllyn (21577) 7 years ago

French? I didn't know that. I admire anyone who can converse in more than one language.

[–] StoneKeeper (27117) 7 years ago

french-canadien that is.

I also admire that.
