Name your top 5 favorite movies of all time.
I'll go first:
Can't think of a 5th. I'll get back to it later.
Hmmmm....no particular order:
Also in no particular order
Dr. Strangelove
Rushmore
Animal House
Spider-Man 2
Empire Strikes Back
But ask me again tomorrow and it'd probably change.
Dazed and Confused
Sixteen Candles
The Wedding Singer
Goodfellas
Forrest Gump
Mine would probably vary from week to week.
Can I have 6? (Even though the list could change for me at any point)
Love Actually
Rushmore
The Wedding Singer
High Fidelity
Never Been Kissed
Lost in Translation
If I were pressed to add a #6, it would have to be The Big Lebowski. #7 would be Office Space. OK, I'll stop now.
You guys have great taste in movies, I must say.
Best in Show/Spinal Tap (a tie)
Love the Guest movies too.
No order.
In no particular order:
Top Two:
Followed by (at the moment):
From a list I made over a year ago:
Revised list (to get those I missed the first time around ;-p )
Goodfellas (1990) - I have to watch this now, every time it comes on TV, no matter at what point in the film it is, right until the end. Saw it for the first time in Film this past year and...wow. Just...wow.
Brazil (1985)
The Kids Are Alright (1979)
Love and Death (1975)
The Producers (1968)
These are 5 of my favorite movies. I can't really 100% commit them to my top five because I really like a lot more movie just as well as I like these. These are just the first 5 I could think of. I'm a girl by the way.
I was bored at work recently and wrote a whole essay about why I think Jim Halpert is the new Lloyd Dobler, the guy from Say Anything that every girl loves. If anyone wants to read it, check out my blog at beanbagcentral.com/jenny
I'm too fickle for a list (the last good movie I've seen is usually my new "favorite".) So hey, my favorite movie is High Fidelity. Just happened to rent it again last night. Perfect cast. And Jack Black at his most annoying and superb best.
And yeah, sharky: some good ones on your list.
I think I have to add Garden State to any list I have too.
(List subject to change without notice, depending on my mood and what DVD I happen to dig out on any given day).
Hey Sharky, I really liked your Lloyd Dobler essay. Someone should start a thread "Anyone found a real life Jim?" My hubby is pretty darn close. ;) I'd like to hear from guys who think they are a Jim. In my experience Jim's are underappreciated in real life.
Back on topic.
Ok, I only watch guilty pleasure movies. I am a romance junkie.
garbage -- oh! Garden State! Great movie.
And yes Kely, I think all the women between age 28-35 are trying to find a Lloyd Dobler. I got lucky to get close too.
Kickboxing: sport of the future. "Lloyd; don't be a guy, be a man."
Yeah...another good one.
And please don't call me garbage.
