Your top 10 films (guilty pleasures allowed)

Dools, remember when Kentucky Fried Movie came out? I was in high school then, and it came outta left field. Probably would seem like lame frat boy stuff now, but it was hilarious back then.

 

How is that a tie? Batman Returns, period.

 

Wow, another Diggstown fan. Don't think I've ever met anyone who knew what I was talking about when I mentioned this cool boxing/con artist movie with James Woods and Louis Gossett Jr., not to mention a great performance by Oliver Platt, long before he was The Boss.

 

I have thick fingers, right now.

 

One of my favorite movies. Actually reminded of it reading your post. I've had my TiVo set to record it for months in case it ever comes on anywhere but to no avail. I guess I need to get it on DVD ...

 

I've heard Diggstown is an underrated gem, but haven't ever seen it. Sadly, I've never seen Shawshank Redemption, either. I think the title gave me the idea it was some sorta boring intellectual film at the time, and I still haven't caught up to it. I know the storyline now, though, so I need to watch it.

 

In no particular order:

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Fletch
Roadhouse
Airplane!
48 Hours
Beverly Hills Cop
The Karate Kid
Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows
High Plains Drifter
Bad Boys (the one starring Sean Penn & Esai Morales)

 

The book was even better.

 

Rushmore
Raising Arizona
The Big Lebowski
Singles
Office Space
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
Gymkata
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Eraserhead
Full Metal Jacket
This Is Spinal Tap (this list goes to 11!)

 

The Godfather I and II
Goodfellas
A Clockwork Orange
His Girl Friday
Mr. Roberts
Casino
Blazing Saddles
Dazed and Confused
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Animal House

Honorable mention: Fight Club, Full Metal Jacket, Star Wars, Training Day, Pulp Fiction

 

I cut it off at 10, but may I add:

A League of Their Own
Vacation

 

Ooh, Dazed and Confused. Good one. I think that replaces Go in my Teenager Acting Irresponsibly movie slot - with Not Another Teen Movie a close third ...
