I loved the Ninja Turtles, hehe.

I actually haven't seen a lot of those great movies (with some notable exceptions), but I would add in The Princess Bride. Very funny movie, quite witty, and a favorite of mine when I was a child.

Kill Bill and no Kill Bill Volume 2? What?

The sequel was just as good as, if not better than, the first.

Ummmmm.... You forgot Donnie Darko sir.

Travis

^Ah, good eye. I forgot it as well and it's my favorite movie.

Replace 8, 9, 15 and 19 with Donnie Darko, The Princess Bride, Seven and A Few Good Men.

Donnie Darko is a very underwhelmingly known title that deserves a high ranking.

The same for The Princess Bride. It ranks in my top 3. I can recite the whole film.

AFGM, a cast of who' who that just rocks.

Seven, One of the best thrillers of all time.

Damn straight, Viper! Lol...you are a man with taste. The Princess Bride is a wonderful movie...believe I have it around here someplace on VHS. I really need to watch it again, although I did read the book this past year.

Oh, and The dude, this is what I say to you not having TPB on your list: "INCONCEIVABLE!" Hehe.

Travis
08-16-2004, 05:04 AM
What about "Requiem For A Dream?" Excellent movie as well.

I look at Vol1 and 2 as one big movie, this is my top 20 list :P

"INCONCEIVABLE!"
LMAO.

[spanish accent]You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.[/accent]

Iconceivable!

My name is Inego Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.

Escellent movie Viper, actually the first movie I purchased on DVDizzle!

^Lol.

My fav line (probably not quoting this right, but oh well): "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die." *jolts and shudders, spasming upwards from his dagger wound* "My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father, prepare to die! MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA! YOU KILLED MY FATHER, PREPARE TO DIE!"

Hehe, you get the point. Awesome part of the movie right there.

I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha, ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia', but only slightly less well known is this: 'never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line'. Ha ha ha!!

Travis

"He told me to forcibly insert the lifeline card into my anus!"

I can quote movies too, bitch.

;)

STFU. YOu're movie quotes aren't as good as mine!!111!!!!


And we were all quoting the same movie!

Dorbin
08-16-2004, 05:58 AM
^ Hehe. BTW, sorry to make the same quote you did Goku...didn't realize you posted that right before me.

God, that's hilarious though, when Vezzini (hmm, can't remember if thats right or not), well, the Sicilian dude, switches the glasses and has that laughing attack..only to drop dead immediately without warning. Oh God, that's classic.

Hahaha! I also like the line about the Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Quite. In fact, I'm going to watch it now.

Viper
08-16-2004, 06:05 AM
Fezic are there rocks ahead?

If there are, we all be dead.

No more rhymes now I mean it.

Anybody want a peanut?

*********

A few more seconds and we'll be safe in the Fireswamp.

We'll never survive.

Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

20) Ninja Turtles: The secret of the Ooze (Super Shredder ownz joo!)
I concur :cool:

Dorbin
08-16-2004, 06:12 AM
^ Heheh. The lines are so witty.

*rough quote* "Oh, you mean R.odents O.f U.sual S.ize? I don't believe in them." (RARRWW! *big ass rat leaps from nowhere*

I pretty much laugh out loud each time that happens. Mel Brooks was da man to bring this to movie form, and S. Morgernstern earns my deepest respect for writing the book.

Viper
08-16-2004, 06:17 AM
Mel Brooks didn't. Though his humor was much a part of inspiration.

To the death.

Wrong, to the pain.

I don't think I'm quite familiar with that one.

****************

You are wonderful.

Thank you, I've worked hard to become so.

I admit it, you are better than I am.

Then why are you smiling?

Because I know something that you do not. I am not left handed.

There is something I must tell you.

What is it.

I am not left handed either.

Travis
08-16-2004, 06:18 AM
That's getting really old, sorry.

Travis
08-16-2004, 06:23 AM
Oh shit, I also forgot about The Big Lebowski.

"Take 'er easy."

Dorbin
08-16-2004, 06:27 AM
Doh! Don't know what I was thinking... (maybe I was getting it confused with Robin Hood: Men in Tights for a sec, which Brooks DID have a hand in (I think), and also starred Cary Elwes) Yea, Goldman actually was the one who finally got the story to movie form, after pushing for it for years. I forgot how many studios that greenlighted the movie version of TPB got shut down right afterwards...lol, Goldman had some bad luck.

That was the quote I was gonna use next, Viper. :) Oh, and to make up for my idiocy about Mel Brooks, and to act like I know something, can anyone tell me who was originally planned to play Fezzik well before Andre the Giant was given the part? Winner gets a cookie!

Man that movie is seriously messed up...in a good way thou. A few random good movies I like are...

All Star Wars
All LOTR
Gladiator (MAXIMUS!! MAXIMUS!!)
Fast and Furious :rolleyes:
Shit I can't think tonight. (that isn't a movie it's what I said)

Dorbin
08-16-2004, 06:43 AM
^ Can't believe I forgot LOTR lol. That is WAAAY up on my list; an amazing movie. Even dethrones TPB. Guess it is number 1, in fact.

BigChops

What about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That has to be my favorite movie.

"We can't stop here, this is bat country!"

"Who said anything about cutting you up? I just wanted to carve a little Z into your forehead."

"A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip."

"Sir! You cannot park your car here!"
"Is this not a reasonable place to park?"
"Your on a sidewalk!"

And perhaps the best line...
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

Narrator: We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like, I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive. Narrator: Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming, Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?! Dr. Gonzo: Did you say something? Raoul Duke: Hm? Nevermind. It's your turn to drive. Narrator: No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough.



Funny ass movie.
