Best Movie Ranking for my Lifespan

Groundhog Day, Being There, Raising Arizona, Boxing Helena, Mad Mad mad world, Pink Panther movies, How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Wise comedy is the best we can make of this world.

Full Metal Jacket...best line in a movie in 1987 and maybe all of the 80's:

"Well pilgrim, only after you eat the peanuts out of my shit..."

CLASSIC!

T&A chose Titanic for 1997, ignoring these vastly superior films.

LA Confidential
Good Will Hunting
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
The Full Monty
As Good as It Gets
Men in Black
The Fifth Element

Yeah, there's a huge reason for that:

A Few Good Men = great movie
Unforgiven = not a great movie

The latter is a brilliant retooling of the western genre, and Eastwood did a remarkable job on it, but it really is overrated. If you want a modern western that is far superior, try Open Range...

What do you think The Untouchables was if no a re-tooled piece?

James Cameron is a great director, aside from Avatar, which blows. Titanic had it all, acting, music, effects, lavish artwork (not intended to reference the painting, btw), et. al.

I will admit that I am blinded in my 1997 pick through sheer nostalgia. Titanic launched during my 6th grade year of school. I never actually saw it in the theater, the way 99.9999% of everyone else I knew saw it, but it managed to consume my social life and the popular culture around me for a year.

If you would have asked me back in 1998 (or as recent as 2004) what I think of Titanic, I would have dissed it, and called it a chick flick. When it came out on video, and my sister rented it from Hollywood, I put it on and as people trickled in, I led the charge in mercilessly heckling the film.

As it happens, I am an incredibly nostalgic person, and no movie has ever impacted my life the way this one did. When the 10 year anniversary came around, I was giddy and excited, and watched it on TNT a couple of times.

I stand in solidarity with you against these proles, Three.

The Fifth Element blows, Good Will Hunting is vastly overrated, LOLZ at Romy and Michelle, WTF at Men in Black...

Groundhog Day is one of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks for pointing this out.

Whereas, 1993 shall now read Groundhog Day instead of Jurassic Park.


Mad Mad World is a horrible movie, though...

Okay, I need people to focus on the year 1991. I'm really not happy that I had to select T2. Hoping that there is something small and juicy that I overlooked, because there's no reason why a Terminator movie (even #2) should be on this list...
 
My list
87-Barfly
88-Who Framed Roger Rabbit
89-National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
90-Goodfellas
91-Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man
92-Reservoir Dogs (How the fuck did NO ONE include this?)
93-Schindlers List
94-Pulp Fiction
95-Braveheart
96-The Rock
97-Donnie Brasco (The Fifth Element is badass though)
98-The Big Lebowski
99-Fight Club
00-The Patroit (Pitch Black gets an honorable mentikon
01-Donnie Darko
02-Gangs of New York
03-Pirates of the Caribbean
04-Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy
05-Sin City
06-The Departed
07-300
08-Gran Torino
09-District 9
10-Red Dawn (yet to be released, but nothing else comes close yet)

My list is superior.

District 9???? That has to be one of the worst movies of all time.

300 came out in 2006... not 2007
