What are your Top movies all time?

Mine:

1. Alien 

2. Star Wars

3. Goodfellas

4. Shawshank Redemption

5. The Thing

For me these movies had the biggest impact...The Exorcist maybe had the largest impact but wasn't my favorite...that movie (saw it at age 7) almost fuggin destroyed my mind.  Scariest shet ever, but again not  top 5 for me.  If you are wondering how I saw Alien, Exorcist at such a young age say hello to HBO...it was new back then but damn loved it.  Also, saw The Shining in the theater, wasn't scary at all at the time.  Phantasm is another one that had me fuggin terrified.

Greatest sequel has to be Empire Strikes Back with Aliens right up there for me.  Rocky 2 was pretty fuggin amazing too.

Greatest old as hell movie is King Kong...that one is amazing for it's time.  Frankenstein is really close and damn near perfection.

Most obscure movie I have seen in a theater: Laserblast - actually liked it too.  Also At Earths Core at the drive in...lol.

1) Cloud Atlas (2012)
2) Casablanca (1942)
3) Gone With the Wind (1939)
4) Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
5) The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

The top two are pretty well set for me.  There are really about twelve films after that though that can go in almost any order depending on when you ask me.

You mentioned best sequel.  It is The Godfather Part II and it is not even close.  I love Aliens, which you mentioned, and it is better than any other ever made, but this is just a different level thing going on.

The Matrix

Terminator 2

Interstellar

Spotlight

The Ninth Gate

 

These are my top 5 favorite. Not necessarily the greatest of all time. If you want the top 5 of all time I'd probably pick 5 out of the top 15 on IMDB.

 

Honorable mention goes to The Big Short.

 

Update: If I had to pick the 5 greatest of all time out of IMDB's top 15...

The Shawshank Redemption

The Godfather Part 1

Empire Strikes Back

Dark Knight

Forrest Gump

Damn honestly I concur on your first 3.

 

Top 5 No Particular Order

1. Gladiator

2. Interstellar

3. The Matrix

4. The Dark Knight Rises - I have this over TDK because I think it is probably the greatest ending to a trilogy there is. The soundtrack was dope and it's the first time we see Batman truly lose

5. Star Wars ( Right now probably ROTJ or Revenge of the Sith)

 

Top 10 would be a lot easier. Honorably mentions

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990

Goodfellas

Scarface ( The original from the 1930's)

2001 Space Odyssey 

The Dark Knight

T2

The Departed

Interview with a Vampire

 

 

There's just too many movies lol

Godfather Part II definitely, though other ones like Terminator 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, LOTR Two Towers, X-men 2, John Wick 2, etc are up there for me.

It really depends on the genre... Too hard to pick a top 5 overall because I like lots of movies a whole lot. So, here's my top 5 critically underrated/overlooked sci-fi films

1. Coherence

2. The Island

3. The Signal (2014)

4. Moon

5. No Escape (1994)

Have not seen any of these. Looked at Moon and Coherence before but didn't get around to watching. The Island seems interesting. Thanks for the list, will have to check them out.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
