BananaHands and ElJuski Judge Your Pop Culture

[Frank]

The Thing (1982), Goodfellas, Leon, Terminator 2 and Unforgiven.

 

[ElJuski]

I'm just grateful that there is some diversity on these lists. I was really worried it was going to be a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS PEOPLE

 

[Frank]

I like gritty movies, honorable mention: True Grit, the new one. The old one's ok, but has too much happy horse riding.

 

[ElJuski]

I also think it's very telling that at least one Coen Bros' movie usually makes everyone's list.

 

[Tress]

Ghostbusters, Saving Private Ryan, Ocean's Eleven, Night of the Living Dead (either version), and Fools Rush In (for nostalgia reasons).

My favorite trilogy would be the Bourne films.

Really, I could go on and on with this list. I loves me some movies.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Raising Arizona, The Last Starfighter, Star Wars, Lawrence of Arabia, Citizen Kane.

 

[Vagabond]

Children of Men, The Fugitive, Anchorman, Se7en, The Iron Giant

 

[Shegokigo]

Where's the judging Juski/BH?

 

[BananaHands]

It's hard to judge when I approve of all of these. Especially The Iron Giant. Fantastic movie.

Also, Saving Private Ryan and Children of Men are incredibly well shot. Both movies with a long sequence done all in one take.

 

[LittleSin]

Ghostbusters, Mystery Men, Jurassic Park, Waynes World, South Park: Biggerm, Longer and Uncut.

All movies I can watch over and over with out getting tired of them.

 

[Tress]

It's hard to judge when I approve of all of these.

Oh, sorry. What I meant to say is that my favorite movies all time are Twilight, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Step Up 2 the Streets, X-Men 3, and Battlefield Earth.

Favorite trilogy? Transformers. Hands down.

 

[Shegokigo]

I actually love The Adventures of Pluto Nash, but it's my "obviously so bad it's awesome" favorites.

 

[makare]

I enjoy the The Adventures of Pluto Nash. It's a mob movie ON THE MOON.

 

[Shegokigo]

Seriously and Randy Quaid as his "out of date but awesome man-servant/bodyguard" was downright hilarious.

 

[strawman]

Just watched howl's moving castle. Now I want to watch all his movies again. Fantastic, in all senses of the word.

 

[Frank]

True story, when I first saw Leon in 1994, I had a mAAAssive crush on Natalie Portman.

As a side note, I was 11 and she was 12 or 13.

The Professional?

Yeah.

It... it's like we're brothers....

 

[Shaw Coyote]

There is a special place in my heart for Kung Fu Hustle.

 

[Gusto]

Fun fact: My friend almost asphyxiated himself laughing during Kung Fu Hustle.
Added at: 15:34
Like, I was laughing too, but I was also pretty worried he would pass out.

 

[Shaw Coyote]

Was it this scene?



Edit: Wait no, was it this scene???

 

[Gusto]

It was the knife scene.

[Namesake]

If i had to pick, Super Troopers, The Matrix, A Clockwork Orange, Godzilla: Final Wars and Sunshine

 

[Shegokigo]

Clockwork Orange is in my top 10, so kudos points there.

 

[Bowielee]

Labyrinth, Velvet Goldmine, Clue, Shaun of the Dead, John Carpenter's The Thing.

 

[Frank]

I'm not one to judge people on movies tastes and I don't mean to, but could you explain what you love about Clue? I'm curious because I always thought it was painfully dull. Again, I'm not judging, just curious.

 

[Bowielee]

I think it's one of the most brilliantly paced and sharp comedies ever produced.

I love dry humor though, so maybe that's not your cup of tea.

 

[BananaHands]

It was the knife scene.

HAHAHAH! You love Abe! You love Abe! Could it BE any more obvious?

 

[Shaw Coyote]

I know we're supposed to be talking about movies now, but I feel like there hasn't been enough love for Party Down in this thread.

 

[DarkAudit]

By the by, are you pairing those Grados' with a portable amp? If you care that much about sound, it might be worth looking into. I've heard some good things about this one, and it won't break the bank.

Done and done. Just pulled the trigger on the amp and the LOD cable. All for under $50.

 

[MindDetective]

I know we're supposed to be talking about movies now, but I feel like there hasn't been enough love for Party Down in this thread.

I freakin' love the Steve Guttenberg episode! So sad that there was only 2 seasons.

 

[DarkAudit]

All the better for listening to prog with...

Thanks for the suggestion, Drifter.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

re: Party Down, the cast is buzzing about filming the movie this summer. It'll probably beat the Arrested Development movie into theaters.
