I think both of those movies, while fantastic will be downvoted as "sci-fi" (or syfy) giving Lethal Weapon the nod. On the other hand, if Tom picks Terminator for 1984 it will be hard to disqualify Predator and Robocop as sci-fi.

1) The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
2) The Wild Bunch
3) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
4) Rio Bravo
5) either Once Upon A Time in the West or A Fistful of Dollars or The Searchers

And so committed to authentic frontier gibberish!

I just read this piece today and as The Wild Bunch is second only to The Good The Bad and the Ugly in my list of greatest Westerns, I have to comment:

If we're going for family movies than this list should be stuffed with practically every Pixar movie and the Shrek 1 & 2.

It's on Netflix and while I wasn't quite sure what I thought about the movie afterwards it was very engrossing to watch.

Never has an avalanche been funnier.

I agree with you fully in spirit but I know ( and I suspect most people know) others who think exactly like this. It's one thing for people to determine that they've changed so maybe it's time to reevaluate a movie I previously liked/hated. That can be healthy. Sadly, however, there are far too many people who stick…

Liked for defending Signs which is still my favorite of his films.

Is it really considered subtext anymore when the text is plainly out there for all to read?

"I am also…..moist."

I think I'm in love.

DYN-O-MITE!

I'll have to re-watch it but I recall Hurt being successful as a local attorney which inflates his certainty that he IS intelligently capable of orchestrating the crime and negotiate it safely. While his lust and his self-assurance are inflated and manipulated by Turner they both have some basis in truth/reality.…

Easily one of my favorite films. What is overlooked in Turner's classic line, "You're not to smart. I like that in a man', is that she tells that to Hurt to his face and it doesn't derail him a bit. Hurt's previously clever lawyer is defeated by his lust which -as any man would honestly admit- makes a guy a…

It's been a while since I saw Broadcast News but I tend to agree. The knee-jerk reaction is to immediately want to side with the smart people but I felt that the movie was commenting on that as well as the "ignorant intelligence" of the intellectuals.

Now this is coming from a Christian who is *supposed* to love all things C.S. Lewis, but I do. There are many assumed standards of modern Christians I buck, but not this one. I can understand someone who is opposed to Christianity being wary of Lewis, but as someone who's happily read works from people delivering on…

To me, this is also more than a question of privacy but of ownership. Apple may have developed the iPhone but they sold me mine. That should mean I have total ownership of my phone and it's technology. This is like Sony telling me what I can watch because I bought one of their TVs.

Yeah but the difference there is those were franchises where people came to see Ford play those roles. Contrast that to the Marvel movies where the draw is primarily the super heroes.

Maybe you should re-read the title.
