I've never seen Boogie Nights. The premise just seemed cheesy to me. Is it really that good?

---

Yes, it is really good. Excellent cast as well.

And I've never seen it, but I heard Starship Troopers was terrible. Is this incorrect?

Very.

It's completely fun and awesome,

---

Yep. It is one of those movies that is bad, but so awesome you love it anyway,

Jurassic Park has to be in the top 5. Maybe people forget what a big deal it was. It was playing at theaters for a whole year.

Probably not. Starship Troopers gets a lot of love on this board.

You haven't been around for very long. I used to defend that movie (and still do, albeit much less) on the fricking reg.

Maybe not top 10 but Phenomenon is always underrated.

2. Dumb and Dumber

That's one that shocked me in the MWADS list. It's the #1 funniest movie in history IMO, and it almost missed the cut for top FIFTY.

1.Schindler's List(93)
2.Pulp Fiction(94)
3.Goodfellas(90)
4.Heat(95)
5.LA Confidential(97)
6.The Usual Suspects(95)
7.Unforgiven(92)
8.In the Name of the Father(93)
9.American Beauty(99)
10.Shakespeare in Love(98)

11.Saving Private Ryan(98)
12.Boogie Nights(97)
13.Braveheart(95)
14.American History X(98)
15.Reservoir Dogs(92)
16.Fargo(96)
17.The Insider(99)
18.Dances with Wolves(90)
19.The Game(97)

23.Silence of the Lambs(91)
24.The Green Mile(99)
25.Scream(96)
26.Leaving Las Vegas(95)
27.Philadelphia(93)
28.The Fugitive(93)

31.He Got Game(98)
32.The Matrix(99)
33.Slingblade(96)
34.Fight Club(99)
35.Casino(95)
36.Donnie Brasco(97)
37.The Thin Red Line(98)
38.The Shawshank Redemption(94)
39.Forrest Gump(94)
40.Chasing Amy(97)

41.Robin Hood:Prince of Tides(91)
42.Total Recall(90)
43.Jurassic Park(93)
44.The Ghost and the Darkness(96)
45.Terminator 2:Judgement Day(91)
46.Meet Joe Black(98)
47.My Cousin Vinny(92)
48.Rounders(98)
49.Swingers(96)
50.The Program(93)

Good list. But, I'd move Donnie Brasco, Slingblade, Rounders and Swingers up a bunch, and throw Clerks and Office Space in the top 15. Shitcan Forrest Gump entirely.

Forrest Gump is one of the greatest movies of all time
