Phhhhbt. Last time that was on telly I watched the first 10 minutes, got bored and turned over to something else, then turned back and caught the last 10 minutes. In doing this, I got to see all the salient points of the movie without wasting time watching hours of boring filler.

My pick:

The Last Temptation Of Christ

i had to watch it at school, i probably only thought it was good becouse most movies would seem good campared to the other crap we had to watch.

The Deer Hunter (1978)

Like your selection there GDB ... If you liked Pulp Fiction, check out a movie called "Thursday" (Thomas Jane) if you haven't already, also "Freeway" (Reese Witherspoon & Kiefer Sutherland) and to a lesser degree "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead".

I'd also add the following to the list:

Scent Of A Woman
Last Of The Mohicans
The Breakfast Club
Boyz 'n' The Hood
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Top Secret (Just cracks me up)
Johhny Dangerously (Ditto)
Total Recall
A Fish Called Wanda
Life Of Brian

And a squillion others that presently escape me...

Disagree there Rikke, both are great movies imho, but I wouldn't think much seperates them ... Given the recent spray you directed toward MK, I'll leave it at that! :wink:

A small part but a HUGE presence. Just reminded me of some more quotes for the "best quote" thread...

"Well there goes the neighbourhood. Look! A nigger! A nigger in a cage! Nigger! Greaseball! Faggot! Nigger! etc! etc!"

Donnie Darko is an interesting choice. I really really wanted to love that film but it didn't quite do it for me, even though there's bits I do love about it.
Have you seen the director's cut where they replace the stunning Echo & the Bunnymen intro with a shite INXS song? BOO!

by **ORDoubleBlues** » Fri Nov 25, 2005 4:57 pm

Goodfellas (1990 - Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta)

The best movie about the "mob" I have ever seen and what's more, it is basically a true story.

Casino (1995 - Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone)

Once again about the "mob" and basically a true story

"Tony Dogs was the toughest Irishman I ever met. For two days and nights we beat the shit out of him, I even stuck ice picks in his balls, but he still wouldn't talk"
