It is Jack Reacher night! Woo Hoo!

Frequency was another good time travel movie that i liked. Also liked Deja Vu with Denzel Washington.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a good time travel movie.

[Piney Boy]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a good time travel movie.

We are all dust in the wind.

It is Jack Reacher night! Woo Hoo!

Meh... not as good as the first one. A few good moments, but kind of slow for this type of movie. I think The Accountant is superior and more fun.

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

The excellent movie thread got me to thinking about this. I enjoy a lot of movies that the critics and even some of our RJ members would not care for very much.

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

To those who posted; are there any movies on this list that you haven't seen? Also are there any movies on this list that you saw but did not care for?

[DMT]

Haven't seen: Rio Lobo, Big Jake

Here's a list I came up with Jan 2015.

1. 2001
2. Godfather
3. Memento
4. Network
5. Lawrence of Arabia
6. Oldboy (original version)
7. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
8. The Thin Red Line
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
10. Star Wars
11. The Fellowship of the Ring
12. Inception
13. Full Metal Jacket
14. The Big Lebowski
15. Dr. Strangelove
16. Fight Club
17. Apocalypse Now
18. Pulp Fiction

I didn't see Amadeus. I didn't care much for The Fellowship of the Ring. All of the others I found enjoyable. Cuckoo's Nest closest to making my list of those that are not already on it.

To those who posted; are there any movies on this list that you haven't seen? Also are there any movies on this list that you saw but did not care for?

I've seen about 10 of these. Of those, cant say that there were any that I didnt care for (so maybe I should watch the other 10 ), tho Pulp Fiction I thought was just OK. Some of the 10 I havent seen just arent my kind of movies, tho.

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.

[Judge Jude]

I saw 4 and 9 out of that list, missed the other 23.


I saw Sully as my only movie so far this year. It was good. 3 stars. don't know why I saw a review give it 4 stars. I think it went 3 for 3 and didn't even bat a 4th time...
