Is that the one with Andre the Giant in it? Maybe I have seen it but it doesn't register as any good? (Either that or I have seem a clip of him in it so many times that makes me think I've seen it)

The way way back and the Descendants would be in my top 10

He’s a genius, does his best not to look like one though

I agree, but I think the Dean is a genius character too. Apparently Downhill is a disappointment though.

Clearly a surprisingly high % of sociopaths frequent the fern!

I have never watched Forrest Gump from start to finish. I didn't hate it when I first tried to watch it but I was at that point where movies like Pulp Fiction and Shawshank were changing my idea of what an outstanding movie was. The schmaltz in Gump was a bit too much. But it's not a bad movie. You can throw Benjamin Button on the list of overblown crap fests that I started watching and never finished though.

Princess Bride, probably all time fave
Always watch Shawshank when I am scanning channels and it is on, regardless of where in movie it is
Point Break also a top 5 contender (not to be confused with a movie made recently with same name) probably seen this more than nay other movie too
Happy GIlmore, love it!

Depending on mood, I reckon I could swap out another dozen or so movies into/out of my top 10.

Quality list, I also have Matrix in there like others, and @mariner4life Grounding Day is massively underrated.

Here are some other random ones I've seen over and over and love:
The Replacements
Draft Day
Basketball Diaries
(I really do love a good sports movie)
Romper Stomper
Gopd Will Hunting

[Rembrandt]

Basketball Diaries

Haven't watched that in years. Great movie from memory, might have to dig it up. Hope it still holds up.

Can't say I've ever wanted to repeat view that one although it's a good movie!

I just rewatched Draft Day again recently, I like a good Kevin Costner sports film.

@voodoo No Hoosiers?

@voodoo No Hoosiers?

Hoosiers is great. Felt a little cliche to include given so many people have it as their #1. But it's really good, you're right.

[raznomore]

@voodoo I watched the Replacements the other day. Its been years and it's still a good sunday afternoon movie. It's Major League for Football.

The Basketball Diaries is one I need to watch again. It's been at least 20 years. Odd to think that Mark Mark was just thuggish co-star back then.

I have never seen Romper Stomper past the first 20min. Just let it too long now and when I try to watch it, it's not as relevant as it was back then.

Good Will Hunting was amazing as a younger man. Is probably still a good watch but I genuinely find it hard to watch Robin Williams now. It makes me sad.

edit: Draft day I will stop and watch if its on. I love that movie.

@Bovidae said in Re: Movie review thread...:

The Shawshank Redemption would be another in my top 5.

IMDb's top 20.

I obviously don't agree with the IMDB mob.

• Godfather II is better than the original.
• Dark Knight was a great reboot, but fourth all time?
• Fight Club is better as a movie than LoTR (and I actually liked that trilogy).
• The underlying premise of the Matrix was profound for me although it looks horribly cheap and dated now.
• Goodfellas is brilliant.
• Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo deserves to be much higher.
• Fight Club is awesome.

I believe I've seen Bad Boy Bubby more than Romper Stomper.

Agreed.

WTF!

I had the misfortune to watch that with my Mum and my girlfriend one night in the 90s.

@antipodean said in Re: Movie review thread...:

Nope. 1 is the perfect movie, 2 is the almost perfect movie, 3 is the WTF happened movie.

[antipodean]

2 is slightly better than 1 and 3 shouldn't have been made.
