@ Chris Hu

You know we are going from 50 -1 right? 1 being your top movie of all time.


I'm fully aware of that.  Spoiler alert all the movies from the man with no name trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West will be in my top 50.

Finalized my list posting the remaining 48 movies is going to be easy.

Wow! I am going to have a hard time.

Just thought that movie would have been higher on your list.

That will be my only Richard Pryor/ Gene Wilder movie on my list..... Stir Crazy was funny though.


I thought that Stir Crazy was a bit funnier then See No Evil, Hear No Evil.  No Richard Pryor or Gene Wilder movies on my list if it would have been a top 100 list Blazing Saddles would have probably made the cut and Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory would have had a change of making the list.

Stay Tuned is my next choice. One of John Ritters best! I will add more to this in a bit.


Another comedy only one pure comedy made my list at #45 not that I don't like comedies but most of then get less funnier the more you watch them.  With other genres the movie usually gets better the more you watch them and some movies you have to watch more then once to fully comprehend them.



Sorry I'm late!

My #50 is The Deer Hunter. This is one of the most powerful and haunting war movies ever made, a story about how the Vietnam War affects small town people after the fact. Great performances by DeNiro, Streep, and especially Christopher Walken, who won an Oscar for his performance.

My #49 is Annie Hall. A layered, nuanced, self-referential comedy, Annie Hall is Woody Allen's best movie -- a production he hasn't topped in over 30 years. It's funny, it's satirical, it's touching, and it's devastatingly honest about love.

I think I'm all caught up...is #48 tomorrow, spurge?

I'll catch up in a bit, starting at 50 is the hard part. I just re-watched Time bandits, that's not going to be on it. It aged quite badly.



My #48 is Dances With Wolves, the first of three movies on my list from the 90s. Kevin Costner has done more than just about anyone in the last 25 years to keep alive the Western genre, and Dances With Wolves is his masterwork. The music, editing, and especially cinematography are masterful in this movie, which was adapted by the author of the original book. It's still hard to believe this is Costner's directorial debut.



Groundhog Day should be in everyone's list.

My next film stars Casper Van Dien(?) in the role that would pay his bills for years. Michael Ironside was a bad asst az well in it.

Gotta be Starship Troopers.

Ironside is the man.



Next on my list will be the only traditionally animated Disney movie that made my list hint its not a musical like most of them but it has a couple of songs.
