Wow... All you need to know regarding my opinion on Titanic is that I nearly put it on my "Horror" list as a joke.
I think that almost all of your lists are totally cool, except the Dramas and the Sports movies. I mean.. "I am Sam"? YIKES.
I really, really want to see King of Kong. I am sure it would immediately crack my top 5 docs.
I've always really liked watching I Am Sam! I don't really watch Dramas or Romances, it was hard to even find movies in those genres that I'd seen.
Uhm, my sports list is AWESOME. Let us compare... Your #5 is Seabiscuit. YAAAAWN. Now Spunk is a good movie.
King of Kong is sooooo good. I have a KoK shirt! Haha.
P.S. Word verification is "plericki". I like it.
How DARE you besmirch Seabiscuit?? That is a great movie.
I don't think I even know what "Spunk" is.
I suggest you get to YouTube-ing then! Tina Yothers IS Tonya Harding. Spectacular.
"Trading Places"...I just watched that again. I seem to remember you being quite scandalized by the whole thing when I first showed it to you. I'm surprised to see it here.
That being said, I was completely with you on every choice until you included "300" as the number 2 action film. REALLY?!?!?!? It is visually spectacular but that dialogue could have been written by Paul's 5 year old nephew. Also, I think that it was underwritten as part of the Bush administrations failed PR campaign to stir up American sentiment against Iran (white people vs. monstrous Persians). No, no, no...I simply cannot get behind that choice. Terrible, just terrible.
Well, boobs were not allowed at our house! Haha.
Its been quite a while since I've seen 300; I only saw it once. I wasn't exactly paying much attention to the plot or the dialogue or the hidden messages if ya know what I mean. My brain was mostly going, "SEXSEXSEXSEXSEXSEXSEX". Looks like I need to take a second look!
Yes, I will give you that it was one of the most homoerotic mainstream action films (minus Vin Diesel) that I've ever seen. Very hot. But...it was in that super-straight "what are you looking at fag?" sort of way that I find simultaneously infuriating and incredibly hot. This led me to a lot of ambivalence about the film and, in my first and only drunken screening, I chose to focus on the poor quality of the writing over the excellent quality of the eye candy which was too sexy/vexing to process.
Perhaps we should all give 300 a second look...with the sound off.
