[Insein]

Side note I just watched Dr Strangelove for the first time the other day and I enjoyed it. It holds up well with its themes.

Some have taste. Some don't. Different strokes, and all that.

If quirkiness means taste then you have it in spades.

[KarmaPolice]

There are several movies I don't like, but get why they would show up on these lists: Goodfellas, older comedies like Animal House and Caddyshack.

However, I still don't get why Beautiful Girls and Almost Famous show up on so many of these lists. Don't understand the draw of these movies to grown men.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Police Academy 1-7

 

[rockaction]

Changing the topic to most memorable movies at different times of my life

Last Year at Marienbad (for the cinematography)

Vivre Sa Vie (just for the abruptness of the ending)

Band of Outsiders (for the cutaway to the song on the train)

Magnolia/Requiem For A Dream (because I was on drugs?)

Vertigo (because Kim Novak is someone you'd indeed fall for and be obsessed with twice)

Chinatown (Oh, Dear God, even without the backstory)

Pulp Fiction (Blew my mind in '94 at the theatre as soon as **** Dale came on)

eta* Oh, and if I'm being fair to chronology, Sixteen Candles, Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men should wind up in there somewhere. But we only get seven.
