4. Naked Gun
5. Top Gun
6. The Transformers: The Movie
7. National Lampoons Vacation/Christmas Vacation

15. 007's
16. The Abyss

18. Star Trek II-V
19. Funny Farm
20. Steel Magnolias

My list is made up of what I remember walking home from the tiny red river parish library with, or watching on usa up all night, going to the theater and covering my eyes because I was a scared little kid, sleepovers at my cousins houses, that first time I remember staying awake all night long one summer, "turn it! Mom's coming!", seeing where I was born and grew up working, knowing with absolute certainty that I have my Dad's exact sense of humor, laserdiscs, and being able to recite line after line
I had to ditch any sort of filmmaking beauty/art for this list, its too hard to detach the emotional part.

Can we take a vote on expanding to 25 or keep it at 20?
I vote for 25.
I want to add airplane, red dawn, young guns, die hard, and uncle buck.
If we expand to 30 I'd add lethal weapon, the burbs, planes trains and automobiles, big, and silverado.

silverado.


Oooh cowboys getting out of prison, saloons, a crooked sheriff, cattle & horses (said with the enunciation of "Country & Western"), I may have to drop a movie for that.

Guys named Paden, Emmitt, Jake, Mal, Tyree, even a kid named Augie!

It was The Western that brought back Westerns after all.

I'm dropping #20 Full Metal Jacket for Silverado.

I changed my OP. Freaxzen, is that what you wanted me to do?

DAMMIT! I forgot Stripes.


We need to increase the movie count to at least 35.



ETA : Another movie I watched the hell out of when I was a kid was Commando. The mall shootemup was always my favorite.

I could post pic's of her haha

I think all of us can admit that if we were truly being honest, Dirty Dancing would be #1 on all of our lists.

If I were being truly honest I'd want to kick you in your vagina for thinking that.

You're a softie for John Cusack.

I really thought hard about Last temptation on my list. Very interesting no. 1 being your no. 1.
