Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

I think Pulp Fiction is the only one in your top-20 that would make mine. I love a good comedy but a smart drama seems to be my wheelhouse.
My top 20 in only a somewhat order:
Almost Famous
Adaptation
The Big Lebowski
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
The 40-Yeard-Old Virgin
Anchorman
Casablanca
Caddyshack
Star Wars
High Fidelity
Dazed and Confused
Wayne's World
Swingers
Field of Dreams
There's Something About Mary
Birdman
Die Hard (apparently two made my list)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I enjoy a wide variety of movies. I think maybe my floor is higher than most as I seem to find enjoyment in some movies that are not so well received. Yet looking at my top 20 movies I have to believe a bunch would make your top 20 lists as well.
So what kinds of movies do you like and how many of my top 20 would be in your top 20?
1-Die Hard
2-Tombstone
3-GodFather 1 and 2
4-Goodfellas
5-Jurasic Park
6-Young Frankenstein
7-Plains Trains Automobiles
8-Kill Bill 1 and 2
9-Fargo
10-Rio Lobo
11- Pulp Fiction
12-Big Jake
13-Raiders of the Lost Ark
14-Get Shorty
15-The Big Sleep
16- The Bourne Identity
17- 12 Angry Men
18- Poltergeist
19-Home Alone
20- The Outlaw Josey Wales

Haven't seen: Rio Lobo, Big Jake
Didn't care for: Get Shorty, Home Alone
Same question to you for my list.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Of those out now, I want to see "Loving" (I'm interested in the story and also a friend of the family is in it). Also, I'm looking forward to the "Ghost In The Shell" movie that will be out in March. Not usually into sci-fi movies but I'm familiar w the anime and it's supposed to be good.
