With all of her powers, she still couldn't save her father (figure)...and none of you care!

You mean the guy she met a couple of days later, immediately got him to like her, got his ship AND the pilot's seat, plus a hug from his mourning ex-wife that she met a couple of hours earlier? That father figure? Rey Sue can go die in a ditch for all I care...

Is that real? No Kurosawa? And IMO The Graduate and PotA don't hold up today. Can't argue against the rest.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

1. It's a Wonderful Life
2. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
3. Planet of the Apes
4. To Kill a Mockingbird
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey
6. Cool Hand Luke
7. The Graduate
8. Psycho
9. The Wizard of Oz
10. Casablanca

That's what a top ten would probably look like if we lived in 1970.

I think Robin Hood would be on the list too.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Rey Sue can go die in a ditch for all I care...

She'd find a way out, besides...she would beat death too.

 

[DiFabio]

PotA don't hold up today.

Planet of the Apes > Star Wars > Jaws

Pfft, what kind of weak-*** list is this? Where is Middle Eastern, Asian and European Cinema? Your Western-centric list if bad, and you should feel bad!

She'd find a way out, besides...she would beat death too.

She can't heal from a chopped head though...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

She can't heal from a chopped head though...

Who the hell is that?

Is that one of your precious weak *** Marvel characters?

I only roll with top tier DC and DBZ characters.

 

[Victοr]

Who the hell is that?

Bloodaxe. Old (more like only) enemy of Thunderstrike I (Thor's 80s replacement).

Is that one of your precious weak *** Marvel characters?

I only roll with top tier DC and DBZ characters.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is that little Queef?

[DiFabio]

Is that little Queef?

???

 

[Wor-Gar]

How do you even know about that weird woman?

 

[DiFabio]

I googled Little Queef after you said it and that was the first suggestion.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Is that little Queef?

"Oh noes, folks on the Internet have different tastes, I better make a condescending comment to assert my opinion as superior!". Anybody could list old flicks with cultural significance or go deep underground. Some could even go outside of Hollywood and delve into European Cinema or Indie US Films, which are more often than not, much more daring and poignant that the most well known movies. But that wouldn't be a list of favourites, that'd a pretentious list to impress strangers on the 'net. And I'd like to think folks here have enough confidence to not submit to this tired old trope.

My 0.02 $ anyway...



Eh, I never had a hang-up with dates. A good flick is a good flick, regardless of its time of release. And more often than not, an entertaining movie will over a "better" one in my book. I can appreciate a very-well made movie for what it is, but one that's both very entertaining, and well-made, but of "worse" quality compared to the first, will win a spot in my faves list.

It's the same thing with anything, really. There are characters much deeper and complex than Batman out there, but for the sheer fact that it's Batman, he, and many other mainstream characters, will win a spot in Top 10 lists much easier than someone from an underground indie book, or from a non-US Comic Book.

All of this. I chose films that are the most meaningful to me personally - it was the honest thing to do. To anyone who may scoff at that



In fact, Total Recall is going in at number 11, how about that!

You mean the guy she met a couple of days later, immediately got him to like her, got his ship AND the pilot's seat, plus a hug from his mourning ex-wife that she met a couple of hours earlier? That father figure? Rey Sue can go die in a ditch for all I care...

Actually I don't think Rey had met Leia at all. That hug was their first meeting....as Chewbacca mopes on past.
