What are your top 10 favorite movies?

from JoeUser Forums
Howdy folks,

Iconoclast's article about the 25th anniversary of Peter Sellars death got me thinking about my favorite movies. Which led me to wonder what my fellow JUsers were into.

Here's my list.

1. Dr. Strangelove - Peter Sellars greatest movie
2. Patton - Good old George C. Scott.
3. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Kevin Spacey and John Cusack were perfect for this film.
4. A Clockwork Orange - The movie that made Malcom McDowell. One of Stanley's best
5. JFK - Oliver Stone knows how to stir the hornets nest.
6. Crash - Unbelievably real.
7. Platoon - The movie that made me realize that Willem Dafoe is a great actor.
8. Full Metal Jacket.-Two words...Lee f**king Ermey!
9. El Dorado - The Duke, Bob Mitchum, James Caan, and Walter Brennan. One of the best westerns ever made. The duke actually made this movie twice.
10. LA Confidential - Russell Crowe steals the show. I had no idea he was an Aussie because his american accent is almost perfect.

Now it's your turn folks. Fire away!

Thanks for reading,

It'll be on TCM tomorrow afternoon at 4.


Ah yes, I stand corrected! Thx! I missed it though. Hopefully they'll show a re-run!


I would say Young Frankenstein is the best, but Blazing Saddles is a very close second!


These are two pretty good choices Doc! Always good for a laugh!

Very good taste Mrs. User.

You know, all of you keep reminding me of all the ones i left off the list. I shoulda made it a top 20.
I have always felt a little like Ralphie Parker in "A Christmas Story", except for the fact that i'm still waiting for my Red Ryder BB gun!
