Dobber Top 10!!! Week 1 - Movies

[Invictus]

The trailer doesn’t do it justice at all, just a heads up. Benicio’s best acting, Josh Brolin’s is on point too.

Sweet its on Netflix

[Selanne13]

No particular order, but here are some of my favorites:

Seven
Heat
Casino
City of God
Leon - The Professional - surprised nobody mentioned it before
Shawshank Redemption
Godfather
Goodfellas
Green Mile
Django unchained

[Daydream Nation]

Jaws
The Silence of the Lambs
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Tombstone
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Diehard
The Dark Knight
Top Gun Maverick
Apollo 13
Terminator 2

[Pengwin7]

Leon - The Professional

That one is really really good...
And... I wish Natalie Portman wasn't so young (age 13).
My wife knows I have always really liked Natalie Portman in films.
So... it's just effin weird (having daughters) allowing myself to re-watch a film with her at age 13.
That feels like a bad move to even put it on.

My brain has put that movie in a vault and thrown away the code!
#Fatherhood

[Invictus]

No particular order, but here are some of my favorites:
Leon - The Professional - surprised nobody mentioned it before

Ohhh yes that one's awesome! Definitely should be somewhere in my post. Great thinking!

[Dennis]

I'm going to go with more of a 'desert island' type list as others have done that gives weight to variety and re-watchability

1. Army of Darkness
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Purple Rain
4. The Proposition
5. Hard Boiled
6. Die Hard
7. Chinatown
8. The Matrix
9. The Princess Bride
10. The Big Lebowski

[Feenom]

I loved Sicario. BDT was great in that.

[LawMan]

1. Shawshank Redemption – by far #1 - such a perfect movie.

The Rest in no particular order:
2. Top Gun
3. Top Gun: Maverick
4. Rudy
5. Gladiator
6. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
7. The Dark Knight
8. Tin Cup
9. Bull Durham
10. Scream (the sequels were good but the original was the best)

You're allowed to have a crush on today's Portman...
just not the 13yr old Portman.

[LawMan]

There's definitely a ton of great movies on list here that would've been on/off my top 10 over the years.
I really don't think I could make a top10 with my taste changing so much over past 5-10 years.

But my favourite movie has been my favourite movie for 25+ years now.
I just like the main three characters.
I like the different bonds between the relationships of the characters.
Maybe my brain knew - back then - that moods/relationships of characters were more interesting to me than the events that people live.

Some people do what they love and just never make it as high up as others. (Davis)
Some people do something they are good at and need help realizing their potential. (Laloosh)
Some people just love to be some key part of a certain group of the world, even with their quirks. (Savoy)

I think it'll always be my favourite.
Been around for 35 years now.



Not on anybody's list that I've seen yet.
#1 on mine.

Kevin Costner can make a: golf movie, a Baseball movie, or Western Movie and I'll be there to check it out

I have tried to follow Mark Canha's careers since this moment! He's not a Hall of Famer or All-Star by any means but he's a glue guy, there to help the Ball Club!!

[RizzeeDizzee]

So tough, as after a few locks it's tough choices, but I'll give it a shot. I'm sure within an hour I'll think of a bunch I missed,

1) Manchurian Candidate (original)
2) Rashomon
3) No Country for Old Men
4) M
5) Goodfellas
6) Full Metal Jacket
7) Fargo
8) American Beauty
9) A Clockwork Orange
10) Raising Arizona

And keep in mind, these are not necessarily the ones I enjoy watching again and again or that are the most fun. These are what I'd say are the ten best films that were ever made.

[Invictus]

I'm still waiting for you to revamp your list to make No Country for Old Men disappear...

A reputation that could be described as a pillar of greatness - now tarnished.

[chuckcouples]

In no particular order nor did I give this much thought

Gladiator
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Rounders
Seven
Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Usual Suspects

[4T2]

Rounders

This movie popped in my head when making my list, not that I’ve ever considered it as a top 10. Only watched it the once but really enjoyed it! May have to rewatch it again soon

[random-d]

I want to add Suicide Kings as an honorable mention.
