Default Top 10 Lists - Movies

March 26th, 2007, 21:56
OK, since almost no one stuck with just one movie in the 'favorite movie' (or favourite or liebling as the case may be), I figured - top 10 list time.

The rules:
- Only 10 on the list.
- Numbered or not, who cares.
- No 'cheating' i.e. LotR = 3 movies, Star Wars = 6, etc.

Go!

Avalon
Braveheart
Dark Crystal
Indiana Jones
Last Unicorn
Lord of the Rings
Matrix
Musa
Princess Bride
Serendipity

Those are movies that had a lasting impression on me for one reason or another.
I could easily add 10 more, but Mike was very strict with his rules.

I guess I have to reply at some point …

- Star Wars
- The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
- Real Genius
- Better Off Dead
- Monty Python & The Holy Grail
- Eraserhead
- Blue Velvet
- Zelig
- Airplane
- Blade Runner

Like everyone else, that is just what strikes my whimsy at the moment … could be a whole different list tomorrow

Hmmm, 10 movies. Based on number of times I've decided to watch them over the years, probably something like this:

16 Candles
Grease
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Princess Bride
Revenge of the Nerds
Die Hard 1
Battle of the Bulge
Pink Panther Strikes Again
Grosse Point Blank
Home for the Holidays

I can quickly think of another 5 that deserve honorable mention, but the roolz sez 10.

There's also the Quote+ button which lets you mark multiple posts which are then quoted at the same time.
