Ten Favorite Movies of All Time

[MuirWannabe]

My favorite sci-fi is Blade Runner. It comes very close to being in my top ten overall.

For me it’s Alien and Aliens.

Hey. I didn’t see 3 of my all time favorites. Don’t I feel special.

Harvey (I watch it once a decade, feels fresh and magical every time)

Amadeus

Jesus Christ Superstar

Others:
Pulp Fiction
Princess Bride
Kill Bill
The Big Lebowski
Terminator
Caddyshack
Empire Strikes Back

Not my absolute favorites, but best I could come up with on Friday night:
The Bridesmaids
Say Anything

 

[Car-Guy]

There was one reason to watch 1 Million Years BC

I counted two good reasons the last time I saw it....

 

[cooch96]

There was one reason to watch 1 Million Years BC, but [-]she[/-] it was a very, very good reason.

Ringo Starr?

 

[Plantman]

How about these that I haven't seen listed? Braveheart, War of the Roses, Cocoon, Terms of Endearment, Dumb and Dumber, Smokey and the Bandit, Moonstruck, Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Heartburn, Murphy's Romance, Witness

 

[stepford]

Ringo Starr?

Maybe confusing 1 Million Years BC with Caveman (which I must admit possess similar levels of historical accuracy). As far as reasons to watch, while Caveman doesn't have Racquel Welch, Barbara Bach was watchable enough that Ringo married her after they made the movie together.

I’m sure you’re right. Haven’t seen either since college.

[Koogie]

... Finding Nemo..

Easy... he's up in post 132.

 

[ownyourfuture]

I'll have to think about a top 10 & post later. I've only read the first 3 pages, so it could've been included later, but at this point, I'm shocked that no one mentioned On Golden Pond.
