I think Burton's last great film was Sleepy Hollow. His films from Pee Wee through that are mostly uninterrupted greats (give or take Mars Attacks) but since then his movies just don't seem personal any more.

I have overlap with a lot of people here, but sticking with living actors:

Von Sydow and Plummer might be my top two living choices, too. When I started playing Skyrim and realized both did character voices I was over the moon.

That's something hadn't really thought about before but I think you're right. On the other hand, Silvestri's Predator score and Poledouris' Robocop score are still iconic for all the right reasons.

No kidding. Maybe it should be a tie that year.

I had a discussion with a friend recently, TV is pretty firmly pre and post Sopranos at this point. I guess making Tony the Jesus of television, at least for calendaring purposes.

Yeah, I realize that Lethal Weapon is probably going to get the nod for 87, but I actually think Predator is a much better film.

My favorite misreading of a plot by a critic is in Ebert's review of Predator: "What it is doing in the jungle is never explained."

There was a Checkers a block away from my high school and we had an open campus for lunch. The fries are so good, you don't even care about the rest of the meal.

It's tough to pin down, but I think it's pretty watchable even with the weird tonal shifts. The Sotheby's auction is one of my favorite Moore scenes. I really like whole "player's privilege" and cart chase, too, even if they do shoehorn in every Indian stereotype known to man. If I'm honest though, I mainly find it

Pretty sure stripey old-time prison uniform was named Rock Crusher, too.

I'd much rather watch a movie about Long Arm and Bulletproof Vess than the one described in the article.

Yeah, I had the exact same thoughts. Terminator might be too much straight sci-fi. T2 has to get the nod for 91, due to it probably being a top 10 iconic action film.

84 has to be Terminator or Commando, right?

I like Crenna a lot, but I kind of wish we had gotten to see Douglas play Trautman.

Thankfully Rambo stuck around to fight General Warhawk.

Somebody has to stop Roxxon!

The truck chase from Raiders is my favorite scene from any film. Starting with Indy galloping in on his white horse with the John Williams fanfare, it's just the definition of movie magic for me.

Agreed with everyone here. I always pictured Magneto as a Rutger Hauer, to be honest.

My dad took me when I was 12 to go see a late screening of Pulp Fiction at the local arthouse theater. The crowd was amped and it might be the most fun I've had in a theater to this day. Needless to say, he caught a lot of shit from my mom for it, but it's one of the best moviegoing experiences of my life.
