Good thread. Would read again, and probably will when rodent re orders his list and posts a new thread.

Top films countdowns are so far one of my favourite features on this forum. I already binge read couple of them.
Nice thread btw.
Nice thread btw.
Fell asleep early last night and missed a lot.
Like all of these:
Jurassic Park
Jurassic World
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers
Ghostbusters
Hateful Eight
Gremlins
The ‘Burbs
Se7en
Jaws
The rest I either don't like, haven't seen or don't remember well enough to have an opinion of.
I do love that this thread morphed into discussion about sexuality though and Freeling's statement about Sexy's Jake obsession not seeming straight cracked me up.

Love No Country. Sort of a great representation of the decade it was made in; cold, disenchanted and retrospective.
I used to try and watch ID4 all the time when I was a kid but always fell asleep when the aliens flew over NYC. I feel bad for President Pullman. He can't seem to not f**k things up.
I really liked The Force Awakens. Its proximity to the original didn't bother me as much. At all, actually. The one moment that makes me roll my eyes is Maz' "good question for another time" line. Ew.
Jurassic Park is a childhood favorite of mine but, like ID4, I always fell asleep after the T-Rex knocked the jeep off the ledge. The rest of the movie always fell like an entirely different one after that.
The Martian is a very fun movie. It really all comes together; the breezy, smart script, Damon's movie star performance and Scott's visual direction.
I've been ruminating H8 for a few days now. I think it shot up to my top three of 2015, which was a great cinematic year. It's a movie that'll only grow more bitter with time.
Moon, The Grey and Dredd were great surprises for me. Se7en is another great example of cinematic nihilism. The Shining is the Citizen Kane of horror movies. The Fly goes back to when I was four and it f***ed me up. That's probably my earliest memory of watching a movie: Jeff Goldblum breaking a dude's arm. The Thing is awesome. Great study in suspense.

Nice list, Rodent! Though our personal tastes go very separate ways most of what I've watched here was quite enjoyable.
Solondz is his worst critic, poor guy:

I'm not a fan of those Lord of the Rings films or Lawless. Or Hateful 8. The rest are good though. The' Burbs is class.

Might as well get the first couple out the way... remember, Generic Background Noise, DVD player set on repeat
So, I really liked your list a lot, and I own a good 90% of them. I'm too lazy to name them all, but I will say, even though I have a copy of Aliens 3, there is no such movie. It does not exist.
I have your entire top ten list, expect for The Cabin in the Woods.
Again, great list.

This is interesting. I've always wondered if anyone else out there played their movies like that. I figured so, but I never thought I'd know any of them. The first movie I ever wore out, playing it all the time, was The Burbs. That was a VHS, though, and you have to rewind them. I bought a machine for that. I'm not too sure you can ruin a DVD playing it all the time. I haven't yet, anyways.

That's what I like about DVD players, the fact they repeat if they sit on the main menu for 30 seconds
Though you don't own it, have you ever seen Cabin In The Woods, Desi?
Oh, and, The 'Burbs... guess what I'm watching right now lol!
