To have two Star Wars and two Lord of the Rings movies in the top 20 is foolish.
As with most lists it does give food for thought. -
Airplane! at 155 what a joke. Surely, its one of the top 5 movies of all time.Comment

Yeah that's what you get with Empire ... they feature populist and pop-culture movies. They are pretty good for popcorn movies ... I used to subscribe in the 90's.Originally posted by Gregg View PostComment

Is it bad I haven't seen 6 of the movies in the Top 20?Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?Comment

Not if three of them are "Avengers Assemble", "Fight Club" and "Inception".Originally posted by Pogues View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

One is. I watched Inception recently because a friend recommended it. It was OK. I do enjoy Fight Club though!Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostConsidering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?Comment

i actually liked both _fight club_ and _inception_. i haven't seen _avengers assemble_ though...
ETA: after looking at the list, _avengers assemble_ is the only one in the top fifty i haven't seen. there's something really wrong about a list with _die hard_ ranked above _taxi driver_..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

If you start looking at a "best of" movie list at #1 and if you get to #5 and "Casablanca" hasn't been listed yet, then your list blows!

I don't think there's a movie called "Avengers Assemble". I think they just mean "The Avengers".
I haven't seen Jaws yet. I suspect many people who didn't see it in the theater won't; it doesn't have the kind of fan base that the other highly rated movies have, so I have never felt a lot of pressure to catch it.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment
