@glitterbag,

The fun part is trying to narrow it down to just 10. Smile

It's very possible that I could end up modifying or making changes to my list.
Then the fun would be trying to determine which movie or movies to delete from list to make room. Smile

Die Hard

Terminator 2 (although I was hard pressed not to put 1 here).
Notting Hill

Full Metal Jacket

@farmerman,

You are aware that list has eleven movies on it right? Not counting Shaka that is. Tssk... Also, I have never even heard of the Three burials of Melquiedas Estrada. Sounds very interesting, judging by the title alone.

@farmerman,

Your list does contain 11 movies.

If you had to reduce your list down to 10 movies, which movie would you remove from your list?

0 Replies

This is challenging for me — not narrowing it down to ten but just trying to think of that many movies which I actually liked, let alone classify as a "favorite".

This is Spinal Tap
The Man with the Golden Arm
Mon Oncle
Hell Drivers
Das Boot
Babette's Feast
The Killing (1956)
Life of Brian
Big Deal on Madonna Street
Rififi

@najmelliw,

OOPS, Id sadly remove Jurassic Prk I. It was a fav of mine but it isnt one of what Id call a GREAT movie. CGI and special effects dont drive a movie's greatness, they hould fit in as an ingredient and not be the whole fuckin point of the flick.

@Real Music,

Haven't had a chance to ponder this question. I ditched my top 100 favorite films of all time list awhile back because it was a tad out of date. Haven't taken the opportunity to update it.

I'll just drop a preliminary top 10 here until my official list has been thoroughly investigated and birthed at a later undetermined date.

Until then? a2k will have to hold its collective breaths.
