Genre. Top 32 movies "man" movies if you will. I'll give @Doog_de_Jour the opportunity to chime in too.
So are u starting with cruel intentions 2 or Batman and robindflea said:I've watched about every TV series this bored has recommended, and 81% of them have been fantastic. It shows that not all of you are dumb fucking donkeys.
So I think I'm going to binge the fuck out this weekend and power watch about 10 or 15 of these movies on your lists. Some of your lists have reminded me of movies I haven't watched in far too long, and a few I haven't watched at all. All I need to do is hit the store for fud and booze and then it's game on.
I'll be reporting back with my findings. -
Some of you guys copy and paste your favorites music and movies from Rolling Stone best of lists. Mix it up a little and pick some out of the box favorites.

The challenge is @RoadDawg55 is that the guys in Rolling Stone often were right more than they were wrong. I am a fan of all manner of movies and music that doesn't show up her, but I can't change the fact that the Godfather was probably the finest film ever made. I think we'll have a good mix of movies in out tournament, but it will be heavy on the flicks of our demographic, for better or worse.RoadDawg55 said:Some of you guys copy and paste your favorites music and movies from Rolling Stone best of lists.

Scarface also belongs ... to me it's a definitive movie about the late 70s early 80s Miami
I'd also throw in The Untouchables for the 20s and 30s Chicago mob scene -
The Town is a very underrated movie that is aging quite wellDoogles said:This is such a hard thing to narrow down. You have movies that hit with huge impact at a certain time in your life, but this list is more on rewatchability. I either saw these multiple times in theaters or will stop what I'm doing when they randomly show up on TV.
Drive
The Town
Old School
Good Will Hunting
The Usual Suspects
Goodfellas
Saving Private Ryan
Gladiator
Adaptation
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Departed is also quite good -
I loved Untouchables back when it came out. I watched recently, and it did not hold up.Tequilla said:Scarface also belongs ... to me it's a definitive movie about the late 70s early 80s Miami

American Pie is tremendous for representing that eraPitchfork51 said:Cruel intentions 2
American Pie 6
Cocktail
Roadhouse
Batman and Robin
How to Teach a Dragon
Meet Joe Black
Fellowship of the Ring
Me Myself and Irene
Underworld Rise of the Lycans
Fight me bitches
Cocktail has a definitive place in representing the yuppy New York scene of the 80s -
It's become a little dated- e.g., the soundtrack is terrible, but ISFL the bridge scene. And De Niro is still the GOAT Capone, inc. the guy that plays him in Boardwalk Empire.GrundleStiltzkin said:

I can't believe I left out White Men Can't Jump

I get what you're saying because I have the same issue when I watch older Bond movies and hold them against the Craig era of the franchise ...GrundleStiltzkin said:

As Yellow noted, De Niro's the GOAT Capone and Connery's work in the film is one of his finer performances in my mind. The Bridge Scene is iconic as part of that movie. My favorite sequence comes with Connery confronting the crooked cop and the cop saying "I'm looking at a dead man" and what comes with it
It's not necessarily historically accurate at all points and whatnot ... but there's a really important portion of American history during the Prohibition time period that I don't feel like we have adequately really captured in film -

It's highly subjective ...YellowSnow said:

Goldfinger is tremendous ... it's my 2nd favorite Connery movie.
I've always liked From Russia with Love just a tad better ... personal taste.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my preferred Bond movie ... it really has everything to it.
The series with Craig is by and large my favorite sequence of movies to date.
Live and Let Die always gets bumped in my rankings for 2 reasons:
1) It's by far the best title song in the franchise's history and it's not even close
2) Jane Seymour -
Reminds me that Menace II Society should have been on my list.Tequilla said: -
All bullshitting aside, I'm the worst guy to judge the entire franchise. I'm basically a Connery guy or GTFO. Although, Craig seems like a bad ass.Tequilla said:
