Undercoverlovers 100
Is there any room left on this bandwagon...ah well ill just pile on top.
100. The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...jeanbrodie.jpg Maggie Smith blows me away with pretty much everything she does but she is outstanding as the dangerous Miss Brodie 99. Steel Magnolias http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/steel.jpg Beautiful study of friendship and family plus Sally Field, damn that woman can make me cry. Plus im a huge Dolly Parton fan. 98. Magnolia http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...magnolia_l.jpg Long film but totally worth it. Fell in love with John C Reilly in this movie as the sweet natured cop Jim. Julianne Moore is also awesome. 97. Ewoks: Battle for Endor http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lover/ewok.jpg Childhood favourite, watched it all the time and i totally love ewoks and i dont care what you say. 96. Saved! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/saved.jpg I'll always remember how hard I laughed at this movie the first time I saw it. Mandy Moore as the hilariously over the top Christian Hillary Faye and Eva Amurri as the rebel Jew Cassandra. 'I crashed my van into Jesus!' 95. Jurassic Park http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...neyshot320.jpg 'Spared no expense.' Still gets me, the effects still looks amazing over ten years later. |
Re: Undercoverlovers 100
:up: Way to be on that Ewoks pick. Those two flicks were a big time favorite of mine, too.
Looking forward to the top 94. |

Re: Undercoverlovers 100
lol, i feel a closer connection with spiderman now, well you do once you've cupped someone. It gives me warm feelings.
BTW this is gonna be a more personal list featuring some potentially cringeworthy choices but i care not, you all secretly love ewoks anyway! |
Re: Undercoverlovers 100
I do so love these lists, they are supposed to be personal and I can tell right away that this is going to be very interesting to read. Thanks for doing it.

Re: Undercoverlovers 100
Good start lover :yup: I just watched Saved this week and loved it :yup:
|
Re: Undercoverlovers 100
Nice list thus far. I loved the two Magnolias on it.

Re: Undercoverlovers 100
Here's some more, glad you guys are liking it. Plus i thought this was gonna be so easy to do, it's hard!
94. This Boy's Life http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...isboyslife.jpg If you ever doubted Leonardo DiCaprio's talent (guilty) then check this out, it is an outstanding piece of work. The fabulous Ellen Barkin is fantastic as is Robert Di Nero as the loathsome Dwight. 93. The Science Of Sleep http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...nceofsleep.jpg Beautiful, dreamlike and not a million miles away from the sweetness and surreality of Amelie. Truly beautiful. 92. Freaks http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...freaks_med.jpg I've never been one for horror films, especially modern ones, but this classic body horror by Tod Browning is truly scary. Fantastic stuff. 91. Wit http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...82_emma150.jpg Mike Nichols and Emma Thompson. I could scarcely ask for a better combination. 2 people whose work i admire greatly, fabulous monologue heavy dialogue and heartbreaking ending. 90. 187 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/d-187.jpg Samuel L Jackson as the teacher who wasn't afraid to play rough. This is Dangerous Minds but with kids who are actually dangerous. It's a gripping drama that takes it's time and isn't afraid to go a little darker than you expect. 89. Monty Python's Life of Brian http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...rian_r2_04.jpg High-larious. Honorable mention - Holy Grail; good but not as good as Brian 88. Dogma http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/dogma.jpg Most films that challenge religion interest me but this takes the biscuit. It's funny, insightful and stupid. 87. Cleo 5 de a 7 (Cleo 5 to 7) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lover/cleo.jpg Beautiful french new wave film by Agnes Varda. Had to watch it for film studies class. I prefer this one film over everything Godard did. 86. Gangs of New York http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...sofnewyork.jpg I put off seeing this for a long time and i can't remember why. It's truly astounding, the scale of it and the intense detail is overwhelming. Scorsese is a genius and Daniel Day Lewis is of course amazing. 85. Empire Strikes Back http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ver/empire.jpg Had to throw a star wars in here somewhere and this one is my fave. Everything about it is awesome - nothing beats rubber puppet Yoda! 84. Little Mermaid http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...rlover/lm6.jpg First but not the last of disney you'll see in this list. One of my favourite villains Ursula, a prince that actually had decent dialogue and great songs. Plus I had an Ariel dolly. 83. Mary Poppins http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Poppins-wr.jpg Oh here's a bit more disney. What can I say, it's friggin Mary Poppins you gots to love it. 82. Oliver! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...am16Oliver.jpg I love musicals and i love this film. Oliver Reed as Bill Sykes was just great. Nuff said. 81. Stepmom http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...er/stepmom.jpg Makes me cry every time, damn you susan sarandon. Plus showcasing the young and talented Jena Malone. 80. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/blondes1.jpg Still makes me giggle. Marylin Monroe gets stick for being a sexy blonde, and she was but she also had great comedic instincts. And Jane Russel was so quick witted and such a knockout. '...I mean business.' 'Oh yeah then why did you wear that hat?' |
Re: Undercoverlovers 100
Lots of films I like on here...keep it up!

Inherit the wind http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...t_the_wind.jpg fabulous, best courtroom drama ever, spencer tracy truly outdoes himself. Gripping stuff 72. American History X http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ver/ednort.jpg incredible film, edward norton astounds here. Chilling portrait of something we all have a sneaking suspicion could be near at hand. 71. 40 year old virgin tied with knocked up http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...oldvirgin5.jpg introduced me to the delights of Seth Rogen and Jane Lynch, both hilarious improvisational actors. I avoided this movie for a long time and when i finally watched it i thought it was the funniest thing id ever seen. 70. Face/Off http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/face2.jpg I love the idea that the two leads both get the chance to play the bad guy and they do it brilliantly. 'It's like looking in a mirror, only not.' |

69. Van Helsing http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...vanhelsing.jpg guilty pleasure but i totally love it. the graphics are a little iffy sometimes but i love the inclusion of all the gothic Universal monsters. 68. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lover/wfrr.jpg Loved it as a kid and still do, the animation with live action still holds up today. 67. Finding Neverland http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...everland_l.jpg Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I cry every time - Freddie Highmore is such a gem and Kate Winslet is the perfect English rose. 66. Moulin Rouge http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...uolinrouge.jpg Stunning and I love the reworking of the music. I originally wasn't so sure about the lead couple but they are fabulous, the chemistry is great and i challenge anyone to not cry in the final sequence. 65. Brief Encounter http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...over/brief.jpg Heartbreaking British drama, a true classic. 64. Drop Dead Gorgeous http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...dropdead_l.jpg Hilarious mockumentary, great cast, generally well made film. 63. Wedding Singer http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ngr_111907.jpg Best Adam Sandler film yet. Very funny but also actually quite touching. Drew Barrymore is cute as a button. 62. A League of Their Own http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ttie_jimmy.jpg I adore this film, and even Madonna wasn't that bad, but with the gorgeous Geena Davis and Tom Hanks in the lead it could hardly go wrong. 61. Miss Congeniality http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/018385_4.jpg Totally girly, totally hilarious and totally quotable. 'I haven't seen a walk like that since Jurassic Park.' 60. A Walk To Remember http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...O-REMEMBER.jpg Based on a book but for the first time i don't care that it's different because this is so good. Looks a little cheap sometimes but it's all good. Shane West and Mandy Moore are great together and it has a fantastic soundtrack mostly done by Switchfoot. 59. Sweeney Todd http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...eeneydvd2b.jpg Wonderful. Slightly distracted by Helena's rather apparent clevage though. 58. Erin Brockovich http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lover/erin.jpg Long film but worth it. Well told story, one of my favourite julia roberts films and the awesome Albert Finney. 57. Bride of Frankenstein http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...01_img0077.jpg I actually saw this before i saw Frankenstein and i think this is a lil better even though the bride isnt shown for very long. 56. Clash of the Titans http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...er/calibos.jpg Love it, such a classic. Harryhausen effects are fun and of course Maggie Smith as the vengeful godess Thetis. 55. Practical Magic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3..._Magic_134.jpg must have seen this a million times, i adore it, maybe because it reminds me of me and my sister - we're the only full blood siblings each other has and she is olive skinned with dark hair and im a pale redhead, no joke. |

and here we go some more
54. Lions for Lambs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../09lion600.jpg Not many people seemed to like this one but I thought it was great, well crafter story with Tom Cruise perfect at a potentially dangerous politician trying to manipulate the truth under the guise of truth. 53. Leon http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...59bf7360d4.jpg fantastic, totally mesmerizing 52. Wonder Boys http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/wonder_l.jpg love the sort hippy, literary kooky feel of this movie. 51. Starship Troopers http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ipTroopers.jpg trashtastic 50.

The Graduate http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d-banc_650.jpg kinda long but the last ten minutes makes it worth it. 45. Runaway Jury http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...naway_jury.jpg so good to see Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman onscreen together in this intense courtroom drama. 44. Horse Whisperer http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...03_img1297.jpg beautiful, slow paced, heartbreaking drama. Robert Redford is a good director that doesn't get enough credit. 43. Princess Diaries 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...s2royal250.jpg I know I know but i can't help myself. I love Gary Marshall and I love girly feelgood films - plus Chris Pine, not the worst thing to look at in the world, definitely gave the film a boost. 42. Babe http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lover/babe.gif love love love it. James Cromwell is awesome and he has about 5 lines in this. Also love the little mice who at one point sing 'Blue Moon'. 41. Grease http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Grease_038.jpg I can actually say that I fell in love with John Travolta as a result of the above shot in the movie. It led to several crushes on men who looked similar e.g. Dean Cain from the Superman show. 40. Demolition Man http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...n_large_09.jpg Awesome trashy sci fi, and not totally overloaded with 'hilarious' misunderstandings as a result of someone from the 20th Century being in the future. |
