:My top 5 movies are: 5.) the "Jersey Trilogy" 4.) Princess Mononoke 3.) TrainSpotting 2.) the Star Wars series (all 6, trust me, ep 2 and 3 will own all) 1.) Fight Club:
Thank you, Rob Fleming. Or Gordon, for those of you who only saw the movie.
Now usually, I'm not one for knocking someone's opinion. But these are top five of all time. Am I correct?
Now how the fuck can you say MALLRATS is better than fucking RAGING BULL? I love Mallrats, but it's not as good as Raging Bull. Nor is Clerks. Or Chasing Amy. Or Trains-fucking-potting. I'll let Fight Club slide, that was a good movie, but it doesn't deserve to be number one.
And what if we're talking about entertainment value only? Princess Mononoke? Okay, I'll turn on TOONAMI and give that one a whirl, chief. Trainspotting isn't fun to watch. I've seen it once and, while it was pretty good, I still don't wanna see it agian. I just don't enjoy watching people shoot fucking heroin and go through withdrawal. I can't watch Fight Club twice in a row, and I can't watch it two within the span of a month. Most movies are like that. The only one that's not, actually, is Swingers.
What I'm trying to get at is that your top five movies (which are really...what? Top twelve?) aren't good picks.
Then again, they're better than Cruel Intentions and She's All That.
