20. Ghostbusters- A lot of fun.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 80s: Countdown

30. Platoon- Probably top 20 Vietnam movies or something, and less irritating than most of the rest of Stone's movies.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

Goodfellas (MY LIST: 1) is by far the best film of the 90s. In fact, one could make a case for it as the best film of the last 50 years, not something that could seriously be said about any other...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

Pulp Fiction (MY LIST: 19) was a fine, fun, imaginative showcase for a once exciting talent. Like Tarantino's debut, it felt fresh, and this time came loaded with colourful, memorable performances.

Fight Club is overflowing with ideas. Many, maybe most, of them are stupid. The philosophy is retarded and obnoxious. But take away all of the nonsense and there's still a whole lot of interesting...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

A fairly good film, well acted (Freeman is reliably good and the patchy Pitt and Spacey are in form), quite atmospheric, not particularly exciting. Worth watching.

Perhaps it would have borne...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

Shawshank is a competent, average, rather bland film. It isn't bad. By this point I am used to people acting like it is special for some reason. I guess it's predictably life affirming in its...
