[sherrie87]

Here's my bakers dozen or so, a top 30 is a bit too ambitious: (in no particular order)

Psycho (1960 version)
Psycho II (best dark comedy/slasher movie ever!)
Psycho III (I'm gonna stop there- IV was horrid)
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Three Kings
Easy Rider
The American President (SUCH a chick flick, but really romantic)
Sleepless in Seattle (ditto)
Hoosiers (the best American sports movie....period)
Rivers Edge
Rebel Without a Cause
Bull Durham

Some of these are distinctly American, and I've always wondered how they were perceived overseas. For example, Bull Durham. Any comments? Are most movies pretty universal, in your opinion?

Sherrie :wink:

[dottie]

Sherrie - hubby loves all baseball movies, ice hockey, etc and movies like Field of Dreams - I think for him they fulfil a dream yet unfurled - I think any movie worth its salt will always cross the divide

[Garrett]

Okay, here are a few more:

The 13th Floor (better than Matrix I think)
Johnny English
Kina spiser de hunde land (it's Danish, I don't know the English title)
Reservoir Dogs
Event Horizon

My top few....in no particulare order...

1. Torch Song Trilogy
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
3. Fight Club
4. Dirty Dancing
5. The Green Mile
6. It
7. Roadie
8. Annie

Tim,
You listed Fight Club, I have a question about it for anyone here who has seen the DVD. I just got it from the library, so I have it for one week only. I'll be watching the movie, but there is also over 10 hours of "extra features"- does anyone here know if any of the extras contain Meat interviews, scenes, etc? I just don't see where I'm going to find that many free hours in the next week to find all the Meaty bits unless I know where they are hiding!

Sherrie

[Tim]

Sherrie87,

Actually, don't know. Think so, must be. He has a big part in the movie, so why not. Maybe someone else knows, still want to buy the DVD, such a good movie!!!

Tim

Thanks, Bren, for going back a little ways! I was getting worried!! :roll:

How about films like Dr. Strangelove, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, or To Kill a Mockingbird??

Even farther, going back to Inherit the Wind or On the Waterfront??
