Carlitos Way not in your Top 100? Sometimes I think it's better than Goodfellas. If not, it's close.

3. Boogie Nights (1997)

Directed by: Paul Thomas Anderson

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, Heather Graham

Synopsis: The rise and fall of a late 70s porn star.

You’ve got the touch! Sung by Mark Wahlberg as Dirk Diggler.

“The Touch” is my favorite scene. I still argue to this day that it would have been a huge hit except that the bass got in the way of the vocals.

This movie is a revelation. I could watch it a zillion times and it would never get old. All of the actors are outstanding. There are some very very dark moments in this- perhaps the darkest is when Roller Girl confronts the guy who knew her in high school. Or when Dirk is alone with the dude in the car. Or the court case (the guy who played Julianne Moore’s husband was John Doe from X!) So many classic moments, feel Iike I’m not doing it justice here.

Never seen it

OH COME ON!!!!

Because of GM shaming I watched it last night. Doesn’t do anything for me. Had I seen it before I would have called into question the entirety of your list for ranking this at #3.

Well, yeah, this is like - um - imported Italian nylon. And its like a special edition, limited silk print. And it was done by this really famous - um - design artist, from Italy.

Also missed: Toy Soldiers!

Martika

Oh my. That's a blast from the past. I loved Toy Soldiers and that Martika song. I'd bet a dollar if I rewatched it doesn't hold up well though.

Still a high quality tune.

No love for Donnie Brasco either. I liked that one.

or Bronx Tale? For someone who ranks Goodfellas so high he sure has blinders on for other classics in the genre.

Copycat is another id probably include even though it’s basically a silence of the lambs ripoff but who can forget Harry Connick Jr asking Sigourney Weaver to “send me some of yer squirrel covers”

I mean, this assumes there is any logical consistency to the rankings

Hate you both

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Ronin with DeNiro is a good action film

 

[Terminalxylem]

Watched Heat last night, for the first time. It was OK, definitely good enough for top 100 of the decade, nowhere near top 20, imo.

Also watched part of the Matrix, but lost interest about 2/3 way through.

Was that a first watch of The Matrix?

Cool that you watched it. Not everyone loves every movie. Might be best to stick to reruns of Little House on the Prairie.

Your taste in action movies is as bad as your opinion on backing into parking spaces is good.

Wings of the Dove might be more your speed, Gladys.

 

[TripItUp]

great call, in my top 100

 

[TripItUp]

Copycat is another id probably include even though it’s basically a silence of the lambs ripoff but who can forget Harry Connick Jr asking Sigourney Weaver to “send me some of yer squirrel covers”

yeah, this one is borderline for me.

Yep, in my top 100

Borderline top 100 for me
