Favorite movies ever (and why)

Great 80's movie about high school bully culture. Think JBL. Kind of the standard babyface model characteristic of 80's film but still preserving some of the 70's grittiness of such. 80's bullying was bad in ways that it isn't today. A lot of that got brutally cracked down upon by the State after Columbine, which is amusing since bullying didn't draw that event. The real theme was much darker, so much that the media couldn't cope with it

Speaking of which, this is what Herb Baumeister would be like in group therapy. One of the greatest acting scenes of all time

I didn't like it at first. I thought it was pretty boring compared to Tarantino's other work, which to be fair, is a lot different to his past movies. It was hard to believe that the same person that wrote the likes of Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds and The Hateful Eight wrote this movie where nothing happens. Being a Tarantino movie I gave it another go but thought of it as a day in the life of these three characters rather than a plot driven movie. That changed my whole perspective of it.

All three characters are great. There were some fools whining that Margot didn't get much screen time. She was always a supporting character. Her story was the back drop for Rick and Cliff. Seeing her watch her own movie and bask in other people in the theatre enjoying it shows off her innocence and sets up for the inevitable gut punch that we all know is coming.

Leo's ability to be a great actor pretending to be a bad actor thats trying to be a good actor is acting Inception. Brad Pitt's character Cliff Booth is my favourite Tarantino character along with Aldo Raine from Inglorious Basterds (also played by Brad). Hes that one best friend that everyone needs.

The soundtrack is awesome and I still listen to it most days. Theres a Rolling Stones song in this movie that is absolutely perfect, as if it was written for that specific scene.





Runner up. A British gangster / comedy movie by Guy Ritchie. Can't go wrong. The dialogue is top notch. So many great one liners and witty comebacks. Something I don't get from garbage American comedies.

Bloodsport

Commando

Tom Yum Goong/The Protector

Mortal Kombat 2021

Enter the Dragon

My Favorite movie is Hellzapoppin' from 1941. It's an insanely funny comedy that was way ahead of it's time. This movie paved the way for movies like Airplane! The Producers and MST3K. No other comedy in its era comes close to the insanity
