4. I mean they're not going to be in my top ten but I'm surprised Star Wars is getting pretty terrible results.

And just to make this clear: Annie Hall is the most overrated film of all time.

I don't always agree with Landshark, but when I do, it's when he's ripping Woody Allen.

Honestly, I might be afraid to write for The Godfather. That's a lot of pressure to take on the greatest movie ever made. (Suck it, Freaux )



IF!, I do get to write for them (writing might get split), the moment I find out I'm doing it I'm buying some giant truck nuts to hang from the back of my truck.

Don't be stealing my shtick

H Town likes Woody Allen but he could probably make my anti Woody Allen rant for me.

This list was surprisingly easy for me as it turns out I still have a lot of movies to watch from this decade. Even so I still made a list. I really really really wanted to include 70's classics like Deep Throat, Debbie Does Dallas, and Pumping Iron on this but decided against it. So here it is, my not-so-well-informed-viewer top 20:

1) Blazing Saddles
2) The Godfather Part II
3) Jaws
4) Animal House
5) Rocky
6) Alien
7) Star Wars
8) The Godfather
9) One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
10) High Plains Drifter
11) The Sting
12) Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
13) Brian’s Song
14) And Justice for All
15) Dirty Harry
16) The Exorcist
17) Young Frankenstein
18) Superman
19) Rocky II
20) The Deer Hunter

That makes three of us. The life he has lived is interesting but his movies bore me.

And my AARP butt saw all of them on the big screen in a theater. I am working on two separate lists. One is my ratings today and the other is going to be my favorites as I saw them. I'll wait until the voting is over to post the 2nd one.

Mostly on the political board. Everytime I come here lately I can't find a single thread topic that is of any interest to me.
