Oops...

Sorry, but I could have sworn that those movies were 80s for some reason (similar special effects quality maybe...I don't know) I'll delete them, thanks Sailorasteroid.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded (haven't seen Revolutions, yet)
American Pie Trilogy (before Stacy's Mom, Stifler's Mom has got it going on!)

I thought the entire triliogy was made in the 1970's...

okay then!

1. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
2. Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back

the original trilogy was good. UNLIKE the new movies, only good thing about those 2 is Yoda the Bouncy Ball.

No one's got any love for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Sure, it was the worst of the ST movies (I haven't seen Nemesis), but it was an OK movie.

Also, I'm curious as to if you have any favorites out of the STs. I used to swear by Voyage Home, but I've really come around on Wrath of Kahn, and at this point, I'd say it's my favorite. The psychology of what's basically a one-on-one battle with two characters who never actually appear on the same stage together is some brilliant writing.

-Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
-Love Letter (When I Close My Eyes)(1995)

-all of the Lord of the Rings movies (2001-2003)

How come no one has said The Breakfast Club? John Bender and the character Ally Sheedy plays (can't remember now) are classics! Doesn't anyone remember the dandruff snow on the drawing or the Pixy Stix sandwich?

Oh yes, that was definately a classic. I enjoyed that movie a lot. We watched it in religion and Career and Life Management (CALM) class.

That was a great movie.

I seriously have to try a Pixy Stix sandwich sometime...

I also LOVE the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and I think that the "Twist and Shout" scene is one of my very favorite scenes in a movie.
I also love anything Pixar.
EDIT: Oh, yeah! I forgot the Breakfast Club!! I love when Bender is imitating life at the Johnson house.
"Oh, honey. Isn't our son swell?"

crazydiamond · Post by **crazydiamond** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 9:42 am
