Such a crazy under-rated movie.  Maybe Liman’s best, but man that is a tough list.  Dude has made some great entertainment.  “Go” is also underrated (while “Swingers” became overrated IMO.  I mean, I like it, but it’s not as great as the endless fawning over it would have you believe).

I’m convinced Sam Elliott has always looked he does.

John Hamm?

He meant movies people remember.

I’ve watched it many times, so it’s interesting to read here that there is a plot!

It’s right there on the list next to Con Air, and I could watch either at any time and be perfectly okay with it.

Huh.  I didn’t know this was a thing, and honestly it just sounds weird until the next comment so I’m convinced.  I’m off to seek this out.

Nah, anything with origins that far back in history is always weird and fucked up.  Which basically means religion, I guess.

Hahahaha holy shit I’m stoked for Dune 2 but that is embarrassing.

That was genuinely a great album, too.  Boys of Summer is a solid choice for sure, but a strong argument exists for several other songs off that (Sunset Grille would be my personal choice, but thus is music opinion)

Goddamn right.

This is the list “White Lines” belongs on--not the 1984 list like I originally thought.

Fuckin A brother, Fuckin A. That song was the real Van Halen song on that album as far as me and my 1-through-Diver Down devoted group of friends were concerned.

Come on—you knew what Frankie was, man. Even then, you knew. Hell I still listen to several Echo songs. Though my taste definitely ran more New Order, Depeche Mode and Echo than most American stuff at the time.  

Well, Bowie should have listened to “Modern Love” a little more, I think, as that song is fantastic.

I remember that cover!  And also that song still makes me insane--as a person alive and of radio listening age at the time it came out (as well as an avid watcher of MtV) it was played to the point that I’m not sure I’ll ever feel like listening to it again.  Their cover of Van Morrison’s “Jackie Wilson Said” is still…

Welp, can’t edit so I’ll throw it in here:  White Lines official release date was apparently 1983

Definitely agree that leaving White Lines off this list is a crime.

I get it, and appreciate this joke. Also, I will never apologize for unabashedly loving Huey Lewis in the News in a not quite Patrick Bateman way.

“Turn to You” is fine, but does not have a ‘slight edge’ over the fucking catchiest song with the hardest-moment-to-clap-to in the history of music, “Head Over Heels”, thank you very much.
