Another top 10 movie question.

[Gregg]

I've seen it multiple times. Great, great movie (but a far better play).

I would jump at the chance to see it in play form.

[nullnor]

I think my favorite movie is the star trek one when they go back in time and bring whales to the future. im not into comedy but it had it's moments.

pulp fiction is a movie you can do everything with. google pulp fiction facts and practically all the actors were originally gonna be played by other ones.

planes trains and automobiles has one of the most unique endings of any movie. perhaps the one of any movie ever. with the greatest actors too.

Bumping this to see if things changed as well as a pretty good list for watching while under house arrest.

Since my son was born in 2011, I've seen very few movies that aren't Disney.

So my answer is Inception, which came out the year before and is probably in my top 5.

Would need to think hard about a Top 20.

From your list:

Gravity
Tree Of Life
1917

Then:

Blue Is The Warmest Colour
Phantom Thread
The Master
Whiplash
Sicario
Wolf of Wall Street
The Revenant
Nightcrawler
Blade Runner 2049

[DMT]

Then:

Blue Is The Warmest Colour
Phantom Thread
The Master
Whiplash
Sicario
Wolf of Wall Street
The Revenant
Nightcrawler
Blade Runner 2049

WoWS and Revenant were both very good and I almost included them. Wasn't as impressed with the others I've seen. Still need to watch BITWC, Phantom Thread, and The Master.

[Gregg]

Making a top 10 list is very hard. Having a movie come out that cracks it even harder.

I think this is pretty close to my top 10:

Die Hard

Tombstone

Plains Trains and Automobiles

Rio Bravo

Godfather

Godfather II

Young Frankenstein

Pulp Fiction

Jurassic Park

Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 (2003 and 2004)

I have to drive into the city. I wonder if I will amend my top 10 after the drive?

If I cheated and put GF 1&2 together I could add Fargo to my list.

The issue for me is not that there is a shortage of movies I love, rather which am I willing to bump from the list above. It is very hard to crack the top 10.

Great list now cut that down to your top ten. You can do it!!

Should have added Inception ... also need to rewatch a few on your list. Only seen a few of those once (12 Years A Slave, Spotlight, Ex-Machina, Hell Or High Water)

[chancellor]

12 Years and Spotlight are movies I don't feel compelled to watch again, but I've seen HoHW several times even though I inexplicably only discovered it last year.

I've seen Spotlight more than a couple of times. It's so well done and fascinating every time. Great for a righteous indignation fix.

[johnnya24]

Saw The Martian a whole bunch of times.
