Ghostbusters Is a brilliant movie love that film watched It so many times and never get bored of It.

There's no telling how many times i've seen it. I probably put it on at least once every two weeks or so. I'm a huge, HUGE Ghostbusters fan.

Hell....I'M a Ghostbuster:

Yeah, that's gonna have to go in my top ten somewhere too.

Evil Dead 1. End of.

Indeed, this is what I generally go for ... but there's always a bit of a wiggle when I say that, a wiggle in Evil Dead 2's direction for a slice of preferred pie.

However, I think Evil Dead 1 had the most impact on me, I remember watching it - on a censored VHS bought for a fiver from the local post office, who knew full well my Mum certainly wasn't going to be watching it, despite purchasing it (:lol:) - back when I was 14, and I saw it just after dinner and was blown away. I couldn't believe the third act gore fest.

So aye, it had the most impact on me - I also really like the story behind it getting made, I hope one day to have that kind of experience sometime soon...one of those young filmmaker dreams at the start of their careers, you know. :)

1. A Clockwork Orange
6. Pretty Woman


Wow now that is a difference of genres...

I still can't believe people liked Pretty woman after you think about the story for a few minutes. A whore finds love in a billionaire who finds morality in the whore? Crazy stuff out of Hollywood in the 90s. That being said I did see the movie and it is watchable, but for all the WRONG reasons. ;)

I probably mentioned this before but back in the video nasty era when I was 10 or so, a bunch of us went to a friend of my mothers to watch The Evil Dead. It was released simultaneously on cinema and VHS and someone told the old girl it was a 'proper naughty film'. Well, no lie, I was so dumbstruck with fear (around the time Linda started cackling) that instead of making a left turn for the toilet, I took a right turn and pissed all over the host's daughters' bedroom floor (I still remember her peeking above the covers, terrified, but I was so in shock that I thought it was the bog :D). It's something that is still thrown at me in jest today, aged 35. :rolleyes:

I still see the horror in the film that I felt back then (one can only truly appreciate the harshness of that film when viewed back then) - just nowadays I love it as opposed to fear it. For the money Raimi had, he did a f**king good job!


I didn't see that one coming.
The Sound Of Music is a quality film. It's just not many people will admit it. :D

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was going to end up on my list (it's my traditional Thanksgiving Day movie) but Once Upon a Time in the West just topped it on the list. For me the score was just a little better and it played for a greater effect when watching it. While GB&U's score is iconic and one of the best, I think Morricone had a little bit more to work with on OUATITW.

Well, as you can probably tell by my list, I'm a huge Clint Eastwood mark. I enjoy just about every movie he's ever been in. The only ones I don't really like are Kelly's Heroes, The Bridges of Madison County, Where Eagles Dare, Firefox, and Play Misty for Me. Others, like The Gauntlet, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, In the Line of Fire, Unforgiven, The Dead Pool, Pink Cadillac, and Million Dollar Baby are tolerable, but not my favorites.

All the rest could be interchangeable with the ones I put in my overall Top 10, pretty much.

Ah mate, Rocky ... damn I forgot about that one ... ooooooh ... it's a great saga ... it'd be in a Top Ten Movie Saga's & Trilogy List, but otherwise it'd easily be in my Top 30, if I was to go that far.

See, this is the problem, I've got so many movies in my collection (nearing 1,400), and love so many of them, that it's REALLY hard to come up with ten or twenty truly stand-out, leaves-me-flabbergasted titles.

It'd probably be so much easier (and yet equally harder) to do Top Ten lists for each genre. :D

Hey I had The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on my list and he gets the kudo's? :p:D

TGTBTU is just an awesome western from start to finish. That is the pinnacle of modern drama in the safe fave like the classic western.

I just love watching that film.

Yeah but it's cos I'm clearly awesomer than yaow ... :p (little Harry Enfield reference with a modern internet spin on it fer ya there).

GBU is a great film, I get sucked into it everytime I see it. It's the sort of film that is perfectly suited to 2.35:1 as well, ah mate I love that film. :)

Aside from Back to the Future 3, The Good The Bad And The Ugly was about my third ever western. :cool::D:cool:
