My wife and I have a quest to see all of the AFI top 100 movies. She's way ahead, mainly because her parents buy just about every movie released. I Classic movies are much better at doing more with less. Take Treasure of the Sierra Madre. No explosions, no special effects, just mind numbing tension that comes from "gold fever". Charade is one of the best thrillers ever made, it has a great cast, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn,  James Coburn and Walter Matthau.  You almost never know if someone is good of bad until the end.. yeah its good.

there are some really interesting choices on this list. I think I like Fuzzy's taste best. NG at a close second.

ALthough I do think anyone who puts Beevis adn Butthead or American Pie 2 on their top 10, especially as their favorite, needs to be beaten to death. Onion saves you both by putting Joe v. The Volcano on the list..

Mine, in no particular order, and subject to change according to my whims:

Star Wars
LotR (whole series)
Unbreakable
The Hulk
Joe v. The Volcano
Ben Hur
Princess Bride
Spider-Man
MP and the Holy Grail
Sixth Sense

Actually, he put Joe vs. The Volcano on his list. Mine really was just a list of movies I had watched that week, and what I thought of them. I'll post a real top ten now.

In no particular order:

The Pianist
Return of the Jedi
Edward Scissorhands
Monty Python's The Life of Brian
Breakfast Club
American Pie 2 (you still hate me, I know)
The Shining
A Fish Called Wanda
K-PAX
Man With No Name Trilogy

It's still not exactly full of epics though...

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
