Best Movie Ranking for my Lifespan

good morning nam was the shit too
gunny from fmj is the best on screen gunny ever, right ahead of gunny srgt Highway
 
You are entitled to your opinion, but I watched Ferris Bueller a couple of weeks ago and I frankly can't see what so great about it.
You lack the proper frame of reference Tom. If you had attended an American public school, believe me, you'd get it. We all know someone we went to high school with that had a line of shit a mile long like Ferris who would get you into trouble but walk away smelling like a rose and we all had smarmy principles like the one in the movie and we all had a teacher like Ben Stein and we all had a class mate like the girl who's best friend sisters boyfriend who heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with this girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night.

I notice you two like The Rock more than A View to a Kill.

Props to Billy for 2001 - Donnie Darko is a kickass movie. BTW, Billy, you gave an honorable mention for 2000, but didn't mention Gladiator, which would be my runner-up to The Patriot. Very similar movies, in many respects, but Patriot definitely edges out Gladiator.

Lastly, I don't like Silence of the Lambs, so you all need to keep fishing for 1991...
I liked Silence of the Lambs but I think the best movie of 1991 was a Bill Murray comedy that I about stroked out on. "What about Bob"

I liked "The Doors" too.

I've had neighbors like this.

My list is superior.

I agree with almost everything on your list here, but for 91...Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man?

Seriously?

It's FILLED with wrong, starting with a Baldwin as one of the bad guys.
 
Yes, so poor, you have only chosen to pick on ONE OF THEM.

Which, BTW, got best picture, so it must be great like Unforgiven!!!!!!!!!!

1986 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off - good flick
1987 - The Untouchables - good flick
1988 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - ok if you are like 12
1989 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - eh
1990 - The Hunt for Red October - good flick
1991 - Terminator 2 -weak
1992 - A Few Good Men -decent
1993 - Groundhog Day* - eh, pretty weak
1994 - The Shawshank Redemption - very good flick
1995 - Braveheart -decent, but not the best
1996 - A Time to Kill - eh
1997 - Titanic -WEAK ASS CHICK FLICK
1998 - American History X -wtf?
1999 - The Matrix - decent
2000 - The Patriot - is this braveheart again?
2001 - LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring -good flick
2002 - The Emperor's Club -weak
2003 - Pirates of the Caribbean -great flick
2004 - The Incredibles - good cartoon
2005 - Batman Begins - better than the first three, but not top tier
2006 - Casino Royale - good flick
2007 - 300 - came out in 2006
2008 - The Dark Knight - great flick
2009 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - decent movie, but not even close to the best of 2009.
2010 - The Book of Eli - haven't seen this one.

*Edited
 
Best films of 1987

Full Metal Jacket
Hamburger Hill
Wall Street (arguably could be classed as a documentary!)
Roxanne
Barfly
Good Morning Vietnam
Empire of the Sun
Raising Arizona
Broadcast News
Prick Up Your Ears



In my opinion, Roxanne is Steve Martin's crowning jewel...the funniest chick flick I've ever seen.
 
BTW, I agree with everyone that Full Metal Jacket is an awesome movie, and I was tempted to pick it.

I agree with almost everything on your list here, but for 91...Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man?

Seriously?

It's FILLED with wrong, starting with a Baldwin as one of the bad guys.

Like me, Billy's list suffers from having to pick a movie from 1991.
 
Out of curiosity, SF, why did you say wtf to my selection of American History X?

Also, check this link [ame="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/"]300 (2006)@@AMEPARAM@@http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTM1NDU1MTIxMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTcwMjI2MQ@@._V1._SX100_SY127_.jpg@@AMEPARAM@@BMTM1NDU1MTIxMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTcwMjI2MQ@@@@AMEPARAM@@SX100@@AMEPARAM@@SY127[/ame] and tell me what the release date was for 300.
 
Gotcha. BTW, I meant to say A Time to Kill, not the Bond movie...

Also, Red Dawn is a horrible movie, why are they remaking it???

You need to be taken out, tied to a rock, and left to bake in the sun.
Red Dawn was a great movie.
 
"Deserves got nothin' to do with it" was a great line.

Also, for anyone here claiming that Red Dawn is even a decent film, I should not be receiving any criticisms of my selections from you. -The Management

The Management has been replaced by an Obama pick; because the last guy sucked at it. :cof1:
