My top 100 movies: #1: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (1 Viewer)

This is what Miller's Crossing is all about:

Verna: In thought you said you didn't care about Leo no more.

Tom: I said we're through. That's not the same thing.

Here I thought he was primarily a Coen brothers' staple, didn't realize he had a solid career outside of their shadow.  Can't see him as Hamlet, though. I think I'd laugh too much.  He seems more fit to be Rosencrantz or Gildenstern.

 
I was seeing a girl on Martha's Vineyard during the shooting of Jaws. We were able to finagle our way into parties at the Taylor Bros (James, Liv, Alex) complex of houses but was never able to flip that into any of the legendary Jaws cast party action. I was filmed for the ferry disembarkation scene and signed a release but my image remaineth on the cutting room floorth. I did see the movie in the Vinyid the 1st wkend it was out, tho. Hilarious because the tension kept getting broke by shouts of "There's Linda. That's Uncle Joe!" But it did change everything, moviewise and swimmingwise. Grew up near the ocean, used to chase sand sharks at the beach as a kid, but i've never been wholly comfortable in the surf since that flick.

Tombstone

Rocky III

Lonesome Dove (I saw DW's post above and don't care anymore - this is no different now than serialized franchise films; and it's better than all of them)

Die Hard

A Christmas Carol (1938)

Silverado

Glory

This Is Spinal Tap

I co-wrote the sitcom pilot of this for ABC. My only big sale. Schedded, but scrapped by some admin mularkey. My co-writer bought me out after and continued to shop it for a decade.

Fellowship Of The Ring was my personal most-anticipated movie of my lifetime. I had been a Tolkien fanboy for over 30 years by this point and had waited all of that time for a film adaptation.

Same here, Fellowship was amazing to see up on the screen and just an overall awesome experience probably never to be experienced again, they had perfectly captured my imagination reading the book over and over again since childhood.

TT & ROTK are still good, but I like them a lot less due to the larger departures in the story from the book (TT is the weakest IMO, but improves greatly if watching the extended version.) Often TNT or TBS shows these on weekends in order and I often tune out after Fellowship. Might tune back in when some of the big battle scenes in the other moves come around but that's about it.

Edit: I'd say Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2 came very close to capturing the "magic" of reading the book as well. I was hoping they would be able to do that with Ender's Game but the movie fell kind of flat for me. Game of Thrones is not a movie but they have often had episodes that captured that feeling as well.

#9 - Jaws

The movie that changed everything. I still prefer blockbuster era movies and this film sets the like of demarcation.

The "genius" of it is the "bad" luck they had operating Bruce forced Spielberg to be more imaginative himself, which extended to the audience. I don't need all the horror spelled out, or in this case, in my face. My mind filling in the gaps makes it scarier anyway.

Of course Quint's speech is an all time scene.

And Mythbuters must have gotten it wrong about shooting the scuba tank.

Trivia:.

Though respected as an actor, Robert Shaw's trouble with alcohol was a frequent source of tension during filming. In later interviews, Roy Scheider described his co-star as "a perfect gentleman whenever he was sober. All he needed was one drink and then he turned into a competitive son-of-a-#####." According to Carl Gottlieb's book "The Jaws Log," Shaw was having a drink between takes, at which point he announced "I wish I could quit drinking." Much to the surprise and horror of the crew, Richard Dreyfuss simply grabbed Shaw's glass and tossed it into the ocean. When it came time to shoot the infamous USS Indianapolis Scene, Shaw attempted to do the monologue while intoxicated as it called for the men to be drinking late at night. Nothing in the take could be used. A remorseful Shaw called Steven Spielberg late that night and asked if he could have another try. The next day of shooting, Shaw's electrifying performance was done in one take.

Robert Shaw ad-libbed the "Here lies the body of Mary Lee" line after Steven Spielberg prompted him to give Brody's wife (on the dock) a hard time. Asked later where he quoted it from, as it would require getting a license and release from the author to be used in the film, Shaw said that was unlikely, as it was off an old grave marker in Ireland.

The first shark killed on the docks, which is supposed to be the "man-eater" in the movie, is actually a real shark killed in Florida because there wasn't a big enough one in Martha's Vineyard. According to Carl Gottlieb's "The Jaws Log", by the time it had been shipped to the set and prepared for filming, it was starting to decompose quite badly and the smell was appalling. As it was hung from its tail, its internal organs broke loose and piled up in the back of its throat, adding to the discomfort of those forced to work in close proximity to it.

Nice!

Was the thinking to bring any of the film's cast into the TV show? I don't feel like Googling it right now, but I think Bill Duke had the biggest post- career, right? I mean, from the main cast (obv Pryor was bigger than any of them).

Also, I will forever love Tracy Reid - that is one of the hottest women ever to grace the presence of mere mortals.

#7 - Back To The Future

The two best decades of the 20th Century are the 80's and 50's. So since this movie is a mashup of both decades it doubly rules.

Silvestre's score is underrated.

Lea Thompson :wub:

The BTTF ride at Universal was a blast.

Trivia:

The script was rejected forty times before it was finally green-lit.

The parts of the script with references to President Ronald Reagan needed to be reviewed by the White House for approval so as not to offend the President. Producers had some concerns over Reagan's reaction to Doc Brown's famous line mocking the improbability of his being President in 1985, but Reagan was said to get a real kick out of it.

Universal Pictures head Sid Sheinberg did not like the title "Back to the Future", insisting that nobody would see a movie with "future" in the title. In a memo to Robert Zemeckis, he said that the title should be changed to "Spaceman From Pluto", tying in with the Marty-as-alien jokes in the film, and also suggested further changes like replacing the "I'm Darth Vader from planet Vulcan" line with "I am a spaceman from Pluto!" Sheinberg was persuaded to change his mind by a response memo from Steven Spielberg, which thanked him for sending a wonderful "joke memo", and that everyone got a kick out of it. Sheinberg, too proud to admit he was serious, gave in to letting the film retain its title.

Huggy Bear, too. Frankie Ajaye remains an excellent standup.

i'm legally not supposed to talk about this (signed an nda & my partner still owns Car Wash rights as far as i know), but i think 30some yrs later, what could it hurt? The pilot made Frankie's character the focus as a high school kid who works at the car wash and the signature take of it (my idea and the reason i was invited to contribute) was on his alter-ego The Fly - who was sposeta be animated in his fantasies - who made his dreams come true, always got him the girl and played out all the revenge fantasies of a kid stuck in a deadass school and a deadass job in da deadass hood. Still like that damn idea!

ETA: As to your question, most of the principals were too old for a high school drama by '82, when the pilot was wrote. Ajaye would have remained and been recast. Ivan Dixon was always gonna be running the Car Wash

I envisioned a Lonnie spinoff where we learn of his trials and tribulations in a post incarcarted world....either that or an Irwin standalone story that deals with him traveling across the country.

Yeah, Irwin steals Einstein's brain and seeks an overland route to bring it to the Soviet Union.

 
#6 - The Empire Strikes Back

In response to the "No...I am your father" moment I can still see my 8 year old self turning to my dad and practically shouting "Do you think that's TRUE!?"

Better effects and locations and the gutsy call to let the bad guys win make this a stunner.

Trivia:

To preserve the dramatic opening of the Star Wars movies, George Lucas insisted on moving all the credits to the end of the film. However, although the Writers' Guild and Directors' Guild had begrudgingly allowed this on Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) (because that film wasn't expected to be very successful), they resented the trend being continued on this film. First they tried to pull Empire from release, but were unsuccessful. They then fined Lucas heavily, and tried to fine Irvin Kershner, but Lucas paid all the fines himself (nearly $250,000). Lucas then bitterly dropped his membership in the Writers' Guild, Directors' Guild, and the Motion Picture Association of America, a move that has hindered his hiring choices on later films (see also Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)).

In the DVD commentary, Carrie Fisher relates that during some of the London filming, she stayed a house rented from Eric Idle. Idle and the Pythons were filming Life of Brian (1979) at the time. One evening, Idle had a small party, including Harrison Ford and The Rolling Stones, and served a potent liquor (which the Pythons had been distributing to extras on their film, to help boost morale) that he referred to as "Tunisian Table Cleaner". They stayed up most of the night drinking and having fun. The first scenes shot the next day were the arrival at Cloud City, which she says helps explain why she and Ford were so happy in those scenes. Idle is said to be pleased that he had a small hand in how the finished film turned out.

The only way to get to the set in the midst of a blizzard during filming in Norway was on a snowplow train, which had a giant auger on the front, pushing through the snow to deliver the actors to the set. The weather conditions were so severe that the crew put the camera in the back door of the hotel the cast and crew were staying and shot from out the door, 12 feet from the hotel out in the blizzard.

#8 - Miller's Crossing

"I'm talkin' about friendship. I'm talkin' about character. I'm talkin' about - hell Leo I ain't afraid to use the word - I'm talkin' about ethics."

I've been in Tom Reagan's shoes. I stood by a friend and business partner who didn't appreciate it and it went sour in the end. So this movie is just personal to me.

(Gladly, I don't have his vices though.)

The cast is awesome from top to bottom (particularly John Turturro) and I love the dialog. Who cares if people don't really talk this way? It's cool for the movie

I love the music of both Carter Burwell's Opening and End credits. And it has a great rendition of Danny Boy.

Trivia:

Writers Joel Coen and Ethan Coen suffered writer's block while writing Miller's Crossing (1990). They took a three week break and wrote Barton Fink (1991) a film about a writer with writer's block. The name of Tom Regan's residence is "The Barton Arms". In one of the newspapers an article reads 'Seven Dead in Hotel Fire,' another reference to Barton Fink.

The character Eddie Dane was originally written for Peter Stormare and was to be named The Swede. Stormare had to decline as he was appearing as Hamlet in the Broadway production. The part was then re-written and re-cast, and became The Dane.

My #1

 
#5 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

After the letdown that was The Motionless Picture, the Trek franchise was in danger of once again slipping into obscurity.

But in resurrecting the series' best villain they ensured its success for the 30+ years afterward.

And it proved that the cast could actually ACT. The finale, with Spock death, is remarkably heartbreaking.

James Horner came into his own with the score.

I just love everything about it. I'd guess I've seen it well over 50 times.

Trivia:

The Motion Picture had a budget of $46 million. Khan only had $11 million.

The "Genesis" sequence called for a long and massive explosion. ILM rented the Cow Palace in San Francisco for the effect. They covered the ceiling with a black cloth and placed the camera on the floor looking up at it. The explosion would occur directly above the camera so the fall-out would appear to rush directly towards the point of view. A special high-speed camera was constructed which ran at 2,500 frames per second. One of its components was a spinning prism, which bent the image onto the film as it rushed past, which increased exposure time without having to slow the frame rate.

The ongoing debacle of Khan recognising Chekov can easily be explained. Watching Space Seed, Khan recognises Marla McGivers when she enters the room he is in because he'd been reading the passenger manifest. This manifest could easily have told Khan the entire list of officers due to be assigned shortly thereafter as Chekov did come aboard Enterprise not long after this incident. This is the most logical explanation of Khan recognising Chekov on Ceti Alpha 5. Chekov would surely have been briefed on the incident with Khan when reporting on board being given the ship's previous service and exploits, leading to Chekov knowing who he is, despite never having met Khan.

The "No...I am your father" moment
Click to expand...
One of my cousins--R.I.P--saw the movie before I did and was so excited about it that that was the first thing he told me.  I don't know if it was because I didn't see it in the context of the movie, but when he told me, it didn't have the same shock value.  To this day, I wonder if I would have been more stunned if I had learned it in the theater like most others did.

#19 - Tombstone

Most quotable movie ever? Earp is the quintessential man's man and Holliday is eminently quotable.

Poor Johnny Tyler. Lol

Not the most western Western there is, but it's possibly the best ride.

"You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?"

"Oh. Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now."

"Why Ed does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know Ed, if I thought you weren't my friend... I just don't think I could bear it!"

"There is no 'good life' Wyatt. It's just life. Get on with it."

"I'm your huckleberry."

"You're a daisy if you do!"

Trivia:

As extraordinary as the scene in which Wyatt kills Curly Bill Brocius in the creek is, it is true. During the shootout in the creek when Wyatt kills Curly Bill, the next person he shoots is Johnny Barnes (the cowboy who yells "JESUS CHRIST!!"). As in real life, Wyatt shoots Barnes in the stomach. However, Barnes was not killed on site. He managed to escape and died in a farmhouse. However, before dying, he told the story of how Wyatt REALLY did walk into a hail of Curly Bill's gunfire unscathed, walked right up to Bill and shot him point blank with both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun.

"I'll be damned" really are the final words of John "Doc" Holliday. Perhaps because he was surprised to die with his boots off.

The line quoted by Doc at the end of the fight at the OK Corral is historically true and was reported in the Tombstone papers reporting the fight. When confronted by one of the Cowboys at point blank range, the Cowboy reportedly said, "I got you now Doc, you son of a #####," to which Doc gleefully retorted, "You're a daisy if you do!"

#6 - The Empire Strikes Back
Click to expand...
While not one of the 10 best films ever made, one of my all time favorites.  My favorite all time original trilogy movie.  Best dialogue by far, major surprise, teaser ending leading directly to the sequel that actually happened. 

My friend had a record version of the movie, obviously highly edited, narrated in a lot of parts, but big chunks of the original dialogue.  We would play act to this movie over, and over, and over as kids (must have been about 8 when we had this).  

Growing up in Minnesota, the best thing about big snow storms, other than a potential snow day, was grabbing a hockey stick, running to the street, and leaning against the plowed snow shooting at the approaching imaginary AT-ATs (aka, houses).

First time I saw this my older sister brought me.  I was only seven when it came out, so I hadn't seen any scary movies up to this point (family favorite story, my mom took me to Herbie goes to Monte Carlo when my dad brought my older siblings to the original Star Wars).  When Vader appears in the Dagobah cave, she leaned over to me and whispered "you can hold my hand if you need to."  I grabbed her hand so hard I would have broken her fingers...if I wasn't just a 7 year old.  I also did not recognize Luke's face in his helmet, so that part had me so confused.

This is the only Star Trek movie I enjoyed watching.  The first time I saw it was in middle school art class.  I don't recall if it had something to do with a lesson we were actually doing, or if my teacher was just lazy.  It was weird to me that the fantasy island guy grew long hair to make a space movie (I wasn't too bright).

 
#4 - Terminator 2: Judgement Day

"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."

I wish someone other than Furlong had been cast but not even he could make a dent in the awesomeness.

The blending of old and new effects techniques is amazing. The audience's reaction when the T-1000 passed through the bars was priceless. WHAT DID I JUST SEE!?

But the soft touches are great too, like when Sarah is reminded of her humanity.

The stunt work with the helicopter alwayas astonishes me.

It's just freaking amazing.

One more thing...

GUNS AND ROSES!!!!

Trivia:

Pilot Charles A. Tamburro actually flew the helicopter under the overpass in the final chase scene. The camera crew refused to film the shot because of the high risk involved. James Cameron did the filming with the help of the camera car driver.

Linda Hamilton trained with former Israeli commando Uzi Gal and with personal trainer Anthony Cortes for three hours a day, six days a week for 13 weeks before filming. Under both, she trained intensely with weights and learned judo and heavy military training techniques. She had to maintain a demanding non-fat diet even during filming and lost 12 pounds. Because of this punishing regimen, she declined to reprise her role for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). Ironically, her identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren was only required to "hit the gym" for a few hours a week and the difference is visible in the two scenes they star in together.

The "forced medication" scene (Special Edition only) had to be re-shot several times because actor Ken Gibbel wouldn't hit Linda Hamilton properly with his nightstick. The scene was very physically demanding and Hamilton was furious with Gibbel because he repeatedly botched it. She got her revenge in a later scene where she beats Gibbel with a broken-off broom handle - the blows are for real.

#3 - Star Wars: A New Hope

Like any self-respecting boy from the 70's I went bonkers for Star Wars. My friend and would grab our sisters' twirling batons and have lightsaber fights - until our mothers found them all dented to hell and made us pay for new ones. I even had the Jawa action figure with the vinyl cape.

It's hard to conceive of a time where the Star Wars story was just "good guys versus bad guys" but when there was only A New Hope it spoke directly to and helped form the ethos of a small, country living boy from the outskirts of Moorhead, Minnesota. 

Because it was first it gets ranked a notch higher than Empire.

Trivia:

Due to the limited budget, the American cast members and crew (including George Lucas) all decided to fly coach class to England, rather than first class. When Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, heard about this, she called Lucas, complaining about how insulting it was for her daughter to be flying coach. Fisher was in the room with Lucas when he took the call, and after a few minutes, asked if she could talk to her mother. When Lucas handed her the phone, she simply said, "Mother, I want to fly coach, will you f**k off?!" and hung up.

When 20th Century Fox attempted to distribute the film in the U.S., fewer than 40 theaters agreed to show it. As a solution, Fox threatened that any cinema that refused to show Star Wars would not be given the rights to screen the potential blockbuster The Other Side of Midnight (1977), which ended up grossing less than 10% of what Star Wars did.

After visiting the set of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), George Lucas was sure Close Encounters would outperform the yet-to-be-released Star Wars at the box office. Steven Spielberg disagreed, and felt Lucas's Star Wars would be the bigger hit. Lucas proposed they trade 2.5% of the profit on each other's films; Spielberg took the trade, and still receives 2.5% of the profits from Star Wars.

Oh, and this is very important...

It's not even right to say "Han shot first."

HAN SHOT ONLY!  Greedo didn't even get a shot off at all. He was a poor bounty hunter.
