MovieBUFFering's 101 Favorite Movies - 2019

MovieBUFFering's 101 Favorite Movies Well hell. I am finally going do this. Told myself for like 5 or 6 years I would. Probably still wouldn't have but I found a website listchallenges.com that lets you put a list together of movies and move them around how you want. Makes it a lot easier to organize this thing. Thought I would use that Amelie picture to trick you guys into thinking I have good movie taste.;) (I did finally see it recently but didn't crack my favorites, I did enjoy it however) I chose to do 101 movies because I was all set to do this and a movie that I forgot that should be in my 100 popped into my head. So I just decided to 101 dalmatians it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So to help give my list a little context I think it helps to know my age. I am 32 year old male. 90s baby, 2000s teen. These movies have to make me want to rewatch them over and over. Do they make me stop flipping channels when they are on tv? If yes, then they will be on here. Be gentle! I can appreciate the classics, seen a lot of them, but they would make a top 100 all time not my favorites list;) Hope this doesn't take to long but I'll try to update as soon as I can. I have some time this week so they might come quick first up, we will see. The top 10 are pretty solidly my 10 favorites in order but the rest is kind of a free for all lol. So without further ado....let's get started. |

101 Super Troopers - 2002
"Meow I am going have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law"
The Broken Lizard guys never quite caught this magic again. Beerfest was ok. Club Dread was forgettable. They did another movie I didn't even see. Super Troopers 2 was off and on. But damn did they deliver on this one. Director - Jay Chandrasehkar Best Performance - Kevin Heffernan as Rod Farva Rotten Tomatoes Score - 35% Factoid - It was originally suppose to be set in the 70s Stock in Coutdown - Riser Memorable Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeKPgHVov8Y |

100 Arrival - 2016
"If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?"
The movie itself is visually amazing and it keeps you invested the whole time. Like I said I have to see it again to really solidify it's spot in or out of the countdown. It kept me immersed and moved me at the end so it deserves a spot I think. Director - Denis Villeneuve Best Performance - Amy Adams as Louise Banks Rotten Tomatoes Score - 94% Factoid - The original name for the film was "Story of Your Life," the same as the source novella. Test audiences did not like that title, so it was changed to "Arrival." Stock in Countdown - Riser (for now. Just saw it) Trailer (don't want to spoil anything on some of these) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFMo3UJ4B4g |

99 Social Network - 2010
"I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount."
I don't know how much of the real story was placed in the movie and how much liberty was taken but it was well executed. As far as Facebook I have a love hate with it. Currently off it. I really didn't pay attention to it at first, think I had it for 3 or 4 years before I actually used it. Then I used it too much so I had to cut it out. Wonder if Fincher is going do the sequel called Tweet Tweet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Would probably be higher but I don't put a lot of premium on biopics and based on real life events/people. There are a ton of good movies and shows based on real life events and people but feels like it restricts the creative translation. Don't know hard for me to explain. Director - David Fincher Best Performance - Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerburg Rotten Tomatoes Score - 95% Factoid - Mark Zuckerberg originally planned never to see this movie. He ended up taking several of his employees to see it. He later remarked that, despite some of the film's inaccuracies, they got his clothing right. Stock In Coutndown - Neutral (Could rise on another viewing. Haven't seen it in awhile.) Memorable Scene Brenda Song <3 You can be bat sh*t crazy to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwiczhta4e0 |

First three films are so wildly divergent. I love it already.

98 Bowfinger - 1999
"It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!"
But seriously Eddie Murphy should have won some type of award for this role. :shifty: Director - Frank Oz Best Performance - Eddie Murphy as Kit Ramsey/Jiff Ramsey Rotten Tomatoes Score - 81% Factoid - The Eddie Murphy part was actually written for Keanu Reeves. Stock In Countdown - Sinker Memorable Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cb5Ka9SqGM |
Re: MovieBUFFering's 101 Favorite Movies - 2019
I don't think I've seen any of the first four, but I really like the presentation. :up:

Re: MovieBUFFering's 101 Favorite Movies - 2019
I acually went to see Arrival theatrically and I thought it was amazing. I bought the Blu-ray on release day (or was it the day after?) a couple years back and I keep meaning to rewatch it.

Nice layout mate. I've only seen The Social Network which I think is decent, I want to see Arrival

97 Blade Runner - 1982
"All these moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain."
If you do not know what it is about here is a quick run down. The setting is about 40 years in the future, LA 2019:rotfl:, and a company makes "replicants" or basically robots that look like humans. Anyways, Ford's character, a blade runner, is sent to "retire" or kill these robots when they become too threatening. Harrison Ford is adequate in the film, nothing ground breaking. Hauer is probably the most memorable performance. I would like to expand more on the movie but that might come later on in the countdown;). I struggled to put it in but I think just making the cut at the back in of the 101 is a good place for it to land. Director - Ridley Scott Best Performance - Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty Rotten Tomatoes Score - 90% Factoid - The film takes place in November 2019. Couple months away from the time of this post :lol: Stock In Countdown - Neutral Memorable Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSOzdFoZsho |

96 Napoleon Dynamite - 2004 :napoleon:
"I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."
It's much like Blade Runner, maybe even more so, uniquely confident. I mean the movie is down right bizarre. But it absolutely owns it in every aspect of the movie. Memorable characters and quotes from Kip being a pioneer of the dating app or Uncle Rico being the best QB ever from Idaho.But the most memorable is Hedar as Napoleon Dynamite. Probably played it so well it hurt the rest of his career:laugh:. It will never be at the top of my list but it deserves a spot. Remember vote for Pedro! Director - Jared Hess Best Performance - Jon Hedar as Napoleon Dynamite Rotten Tomatoes Score - 71% Factoid - The film was shot in just 22 days. Hedar only got 1,000 dollars for the role. The movie made over 40 million in box office. Stock In Countdown - Neutral Memorable Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_W4Gi5h9P8 |

95 Full Metal Jacket - 1987
"Most of you will go to Vietnam. Some of you will not come back. But always remember this: Marines die. That's what we're here for. But the Marine Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever.."
Vincent D'Onofrio is also pretty damn good. He apparently put on 70 pounds for the role. Modine is solid as well, but compared to the other two isn't as flashy. It's a compelling story on the soldiers psyche during boot camp and during war. The 2nd half of the movie during war is just fine but it's the first half at boot camp that really makes this movie stand out. Director - Stanley Kubrick Best Performance - Lee Ermey as Drill Sergeant Hartman Rotten Tomatoes Score - 91% Factoid - R. Lee Ermey went to director Stanley Kubrick and asked for the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann. In his opinion, the actors on the set were not up to snuff. When Kubrick declined, Ermey barked an order for Kubrick to stand up when he was spoken to, and the director instinctively obeyed. Ermey got the role. Stock In Countdown - Neutral |

94 Looper - 2012
"The only rule is: never let your target escape... even if your target is you."
But the major reason I was looking forward to this was because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my favorite actors. He is always in a good flick and always brings it. He is awesome in this as a younger Bruce Willis. You can tell Bruce Willis actually enjoyed being in a good movie again as he was good in this as well. Emily Blunt is great in this as well. Plus Paul Dano and Jeff Daniels are fun in it, specially Daniels. (Daniels and JGL were in a movie call "The Lookout" as well. Didn't make my list but it's a nice little hidden gem of a movie) It's a really neat sci-fi movie. I haven't seen it in awhile, but I remember at the end a big plot hole that prevented it from being say a top 50 movie to me. It's just a really slick, fun low budget sci-fi movie. If you don't know what it's about....Loopers are basically assassians in the future...that kill people even further in the future that get sent back to them because time travel is invented then. Basically you get to quit when your future self is sent back and you kill him/her. Then you retire and cash out. Thats where JGL being a younger Bruce comes in. It's worth a view if you haven't seen it. Director - Rian Johnson Best Performance - Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Joe Rotten Tomatoes Score - 93% Factoid - Early on, Joe is shown studying French without much success. Ironically, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quite fluent in French. Stock In Countdown - Neutral Memorable Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpLDcvgq0vo |
