    Rushmore
    This is a brutal year. Lebowski and Rushmore are 10/10 perfect movies which can not be improved upon. Rushmore is my sentimental favorite. Saw it on the Ave with @creepycoug 's hot half cuban niece.

    Should be required viewing. This was before 9 11 which makes it more remarkable

    Plus that one with Bruce Willis, Denzel and @PurpleBaze

    Bruce channeled Captain Kirk for that role

    Saving Private Ryan
    All movies i like to rewatch now and then. This isn't one of the stronger years for me in terms of all time favorites though.

    I feel like Saving Private Ryan could have been a 10/10 by another director. ATBS (JBS) I cried like a baby in the movie theater during the opening 20 minutes.

    Band of Brothers is still the best D-Day movie.
    Totally agree.

    They did a great jerb of keeping the Hollywood schlock out of it.

    Yep and that distinguishes it from Saving Private Ryan.

    The air drop scenes actually beat or at least wqual the beach head in Private Ryan in terms of pure intensity and horror. I could barely watch it and just wanted it over. Then I rewound and watched it again, mouth still agape and fighting the urge to look away.

    American History X was pretty powerful for me, not only because a shaved-headed, chin-wigged Edward Norton was a dead ringer for one of my best friends (w/o the tats)...

    I was thinking about this the other day as one of a bunch of movies I loved and should re-watch cause it has been too long. It's crazy what Enemy of the State foretold in society. Sneakers is another movie like that, probably my all-time favorite movie.

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!” - Cosmo in Sneakers (Ben Kingsley). In 199freaking2.

    Also from Cosmo:
    “The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons.”

    I see Sneakers get shit sometims. As you say, way ahead of the narrative I’ll watch it whenever it comes on.

    Just did a binge watch on Band of Brothers ... overall very good with some really high points and some slow points

    While slow, the entire episode tied to being bunkered in during the Battle of the Bulge just left me shaking my head at how miserable that had to have been
