[CashRules]

Finally a list of movies I've actually watched. What we have learned is that the Superhero movie genre has improved in the past 2 or 3 decades while every other genre has taken a nosedive in quality. Okay, Joe Pesci sucked, but somebody had to.

[Cassius Clay]

I like about 98 percent of the movies on all 3 lists.

[Unvoiced_Apollo]

You forgot Beauty & the Beast.

[Ptolemy_Banana]

I like about 98 percent of the movies on all 3 lists.

Me too.

[Gendo]

Very few that I've seen but don't own this time. But lots that I haven't seen nor own.


This Is Spinal Tap - I didn't like it as much as most people; just because I don't like the mockumentary style... don't like any other Guest stuff or the Office much.
*Police Academy - Classic.
*The Natural - Haven't seen it yet.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - This was pretty bad... I'm pretty sure people only like it because of the franchise.
*Ghostbusters - Classic
*Amadeus - Amazing
*Beverly Hills Cop - Pretty good
*The Goonies - Don't remember too much about this
*Rocky IV - Great stuff. Happy birthday Paulie.
*Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Love it.

*Hoosiers - Haven't seen it.
*Platoon - Depressing of course; good movie.

Beverly Hills Cop II - They made a 2?
*Spaceballs - Love it.
*Full Metal Jacket - Haven't seen this in over 10 years; don't remember it too well.
*Planes, Trains and Automobiles - Saw this for the first time last year; bought it immediately.
*Good Morning, Vietnam - Don't remember this much.
*Bull Durham - Finally watched this recently. Decent.

*Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Great movie; rewatched recently.
*Rain Man - Great.

You forgot Beauty & the Beast.

[sikax]

You forgot Beauty & the Beast.

No I didn't.

[sikax]

I have a confession to make.

I've never seen Beauty and the Beast.

[aels]

Plz see my previous comment re: million years dungeon.

[sikax]

If I make it a point to watch it as soon as possible can I get my sentence reduced?

[aels]

Yes. Then you will get no years dungeon and one million years on my list of Good Humans.

[sikax]

Fair enough.

[sikax]

every other genre has taken a nosedive in quality..

I agree that comedy has declined drastically, but not the rest.

[BruceSmith78]

I can't take this list seriously, as it makes the horribly grievous, unforgivable error of omitting the Back to the Future trilogy.

[sikax]

Back to the Future trilogy.

Not a fan.

[BruceSmith78]

Yeah, well Rango sucked.


It really did though.

[sikax]

Silly person. Silly uncultured person.
