Which Leads To…
Your Top Ten, All-time favorite movies.
Here’s mine (which changes daily and is not in any particular order) to start it out.
1. The Longest Day (1962)
Could ya have packed more starpower into one film? I don’t think so.
2. Idiocracy (2006)
It’s coming, and a hell of a lot sooner than you think.
3. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)
David Bowie as a POW who plays the ultimate mind games.
4. Band Of Brothers (2001)
So what if it had ten separate intermissions. It’s as close as most folks will ever get without pissing their pants.
5. Grindhouse (2007)
Absolutely and totally ridiculous, but where else are ya gonna find zombies, and a chick with a M203 hooked up to her stump?
6. Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis, as Elvis and Pres. Nixon Kennedy fighting off a 2000 year old Mummy in an East Texas nursing home.
“I was dreamin’. Dreamin’ my dick was out and I was checkin’ to see if that infected bump on the head of it had filled with pus again. If it had, I was gonna name it after my ex-wife Priscilla and bust it by jackin’ off. Or I’d like to think that’s what I’d do. Dreams let you think like that. Truth was, I hadn’t had a hard-on in years.”
Seriously, what else could you ever need?
7. Pretty Peaches (1978)
I had to add this one. Why? Because Kelly needs an answer as to why my brainpan is so fucked up.
8. Blazing Saddles (1974)
Because the politically correct pussies in our world today couldn’t even begin to craft a movie as fucking funny as this one.
9. Open Range (2003)
Just because this world we live in has too many fences plus, it had one hell of a gunfight.
10. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. (1969)
Even deceased, Paul Newman is still way cooler than I’ll ever be.

Without Bruce Campbell, I doubt it will be any good but here’s the sequel, “Bubba Nosferatu”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457295/
“Hello Kitty Island Adventure”.
Sorry man, just trying to start a riot in the comments section….
sweet! im honored to have one of my suggestions as one of your faves however briefly!
Haven’t seen a couple of those, but here are a couple of my faves. You might detect a pattern:
“Patton”
“Midway”
“The Right Stuff”
1. DR. STRANGELOVE
2. FAILSAFE(1964 version)
Coin tossing begins.
The Holy Grail
Grown men acting like children in the name of History. Very funny, very quotable. Monty Python classic.
Braveheart
Plucky Scots fight for freedom against English Longbowmen and English Heavy Cavalry. War, revenge, justice, inspiration.
Highlander
Sean Connery as a Spanish dandy wielding a katana teaches a Scottish Highlander how to be immortal.
Thief
James Caan just trying to get by as a professional thief. James Belushi in an early role. Michael Mann film.
Heat.
Lots of guns and gun fighting. Excellent shoot-out scenes. Back-door ties with “Thiefâ€. Another Michael Mann film.
The Wild Bunch.
Old bandits looking to make one last big score before they retire. Lots of guns and lots of gun fighting. Sam Peckinpah classic.
The Outlaw Josey Wales
One of Eastwood’s best movies and my favorite. Post-Civil War West. Interesting guns. Revenge, justice, Sandra Locke. Great scene where Wales is in a hotel room cleaning his revolver when he hears the bad guys sneaking up on him. He has to assemble the gun, load it, and move into a defensible position before they arrive…
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Rambling tale of greed and avarice set in the West during the Civil War. The setting of the movie is based on an actual little-known battle. Sergio Leone at his best.
Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks’ classic comedy.
Body Heat
Kathleen Turner being nasty.
I’m waiting for Bubba Ho-tep the musical.
I’m stuck in a be and my pecker is dead.
There’s a damn big bug in my bed pan blues.
Don’t cry for me Kimo Sabi.
Casablanca
The Quiet Man
Blazing Saddles
Dogma
12 O’clock High
Patton
McClintock
there are more, rest assured this will appear at some (near) future date at one of my homes on the web.
Heartbreak Ridge
Favorite scene is where Gunny Highway lays the Swede flat on his ass and the rest of the peckerheads fall right into line. Awesome movie.
Gran Torino
Most recent Clint Eastwood vehicle (no pun intended). Very politically incorrect. EXCELLENT movie!!
Harvey- Jimmy Stewart
Instinct- Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jr.
Dangerous Minds- Michelle Pfieffer
I am a man of odd and varied tastes. Not in any particular order:
Nosferatu
Shadow of the Vampire
Safety Last
Lost Weekend
The Hustler
Pool Hall Junkies
Blade Runner (Directors Cut)
Pi
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Reefer Madness, The Movie Musical
This list is subject to change without notice, but I like these things. Weird, half of them are black and white…
Took Dick’s advice and posted a complete list on my bit o fluff. Just curious, but is it any wonder most of the films we have all listed are at least 30 years or older?
Bubbas Ho-Tepo was great, but Ossie Davis was Kennedy not Nixon.
Good point DirtCrashr. My mistake.
I got a ten list up now, too. I made sure to pepper it with movies from the last 10 years, but a couple of oldies still made the list. It’s hard to call them my favorites, but they made an impression on me. I don’t know why the number 8 gives a smiley before the movie title, but it does. I didn’t intend it.
There’s no bad one on your lists above. I’m glad to see someone else loves the movie Pi. And like Sgt. Highway says, “whatever you do, just don’t bore me.”
1. A Bridge Too Far
2. Band Of Brothers
3. Flight Of The Phoenix
4. 12 O’clock High
5. Battle Of Britain
6. Island In The Sky
7. Flying Leathernecks
8. Flying Tigers
9. The Aviator (Christopher Reeves)
10. The Winter War
Great Post!
