Raiders of the Lost Ark

Not much of a competition this year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The best fantasy/action/adventure series ever, even with the Chrystal Skull debacle. It kills Star Wars and the LOTR flicks according to chuck, and Raiders was the best one.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Flawless from first frame to last. From editing to soundtrack. Cinematography to script. In my top 10 all time list.

It truly is. I doubt another film had as significant of an impact on young Yella Piss.

I had the map room toy set for crying out loud.

@YellowSnow I feel like this is the first year where you and I agreed on a movie 😂

Savor it.

Stripes

I acknowledge the superiority of Raiders but Stripes was in that sweet spot for great National Lampoon / SNL comedies.

It's that rare perfect movie which appeals to a sci fi / make believe guy like you and a history noyd like me, even though it's completely implausible that the Nazis would have been allowed to dig for treasure in Egypt in 1936. Their military was still shit in that year.

I've never watched Stripe. Pretty embarrassed to admit this.

I waffled all over the place because Raiders is fantastic, but Stripes and Excalibur are also long time faves.

It is 40 years old now. Amazing to write that

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...

Well, I was one, so I'm guessing The Fox and the Hound?

Stripes was a favorite of one of my dads, so I watched it a lot when I was a kid. Great movie.

Missing from the list are History of the World Part I, Evil Dead, Thief, and Heavy Metal.

Swaye

The Road Warrior

Of course Raiders is the best, but I had to pick Road Warrior for obvious reasons.

Excalibur is the reason I bought my first DVD player in 1999

I think Kim Cattrall's character was named Lassie.

That scene from Porky's in the principle's office finishing on that picture of Ike, makes me lose it every time...
