You didn't think I'd stop at 100, did you!?!
I will be posting by genre. There will be anywhere from five, to fifteen favorites, each post. I have snagged some favorite skits, from each movie. I don't think any count as spoilers. I will never show a "who-done-it". That is for sure. If you've seen these movies, watch the clips, and let me know if you think these are too much to be viewed, by anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet. Click the picture, to play the movie clips. Spoofs/Parodies: Clue (1985) First came the board game, and then came the movie. It has a great cast, and is one of my all time favorite Madeline Kahn movies. "Flames, flames, on the side of my face!" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...SL._AA240_.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...h_20e438af.jpg Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) One of my all time favorite comedians/comedic actors, in a film with many classic skits mixed in. From Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Ray Milland, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, and many more. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...KL._AA240_.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...h_9288ea0d.jpg Young Frankenstein (1974) My favorite Mel Brooks film, and a wonderful performance from Gene Wilder, Teri Gar, Gene Hackman. and the late Madeline Kahn and Peter Boyle. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...4L._AA240_.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...h_86dbd54f.jpg Spaceballs (1987) Star Wars at it's best! Coming in as my second favorite Mel Brooks film. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...AL._AA240_.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...h_76854ab3.jpg Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002) Written, directed, and starring Steve Oedekerk. He uses an old 70's Martial Arts film, and adds new characters. This one really depends on your sense of humor. It isn't for everyone. Although I will be surprised, if the third clip doesn't make you laugh. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...PL._AA240_.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...h_de97027a.jpg |
Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Although it's definitely a change from the 100s, there is a reason we do 100. Anyone can just post loads of favourites by genre - narrowing it down to 100 and placing them in specific order, however...

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Yeah, are you aware of how many spoofs are out there? I listed five, but thanks for taking the time to let me know your opinion on them.
There's a reason I spent hours making it this way. Your reply wasn't it. |

Besides, if you want to take that stance, then do you feel that the various AFI lists beyond the "100 greatest" should not exist either? |
Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Oh man! This thread is so going to rock! This is great D! What a great idea for listing your movies. You go ahead and do it however you want and I'll just sit here and check them out 'K?

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Yeah, i like this layout and appreciate the effort.
Is it going to end up as your top 100 films or just genre favourites? |
Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Thanks guys! So far, it's closer to 110. I found that listing them by genre, helped me remember more. Most of us will pass the 100 mark, anyway. I know a few members are already talking about adding to, and/or re-doing their lists. As time goes by, I'll pass it up. It's just going to take me forever to do that. Mainly because, making these clips, takes a long time. I sure hope they get viewed some. :yup:
Yes, that's a hint! |

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Only question i have about this approach is that of defining certain films as a certain genre etc.....

The main goal here is to give out movie ideas, which is the main reason I posted the clips. Then again, maybe I can come across some new movie ideas, as well. If you think something else should be listed, instead of such & such, post away. |
Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
If you don't know I think this is wonderful already...
In that last post's regard, Cat Ballou is a helluva western spoof. It's obviously not a western because it has a strolling minstrel chorus, consisting of Nat King Cole, Jr. and Stubby Kaye, plus it has all kinds of newfangled '60s references, but it's got a bonafide western star (Lee Marvin) delivering a delicious dual performance. It also features "The Hole in the Wall Gang". :) Have you seen that one, Babe? http://www.coffeecoffeeandmorecoffee...;20ballou3.jpg http://www.filmsondisc.com/Features/...car_ballou.jpghttp://www.filmsondisc.com/Features/Noses/great_8.jpg I love Ingrid Bergman. |

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
I really like the way your doing your list and I wish I would have thought of it. Very much looking forward to the rest of your list.

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Drama
These are the things in life, that in some way, effect the most of us. Whether it be through family, friends . . . From financial strain, physical handicaps, learning disabilities, mental disorders, health issues, to death/losing someone. These films can educate us at times, and teach us that maybe our own lives aren't as bad as we may think they are. Some can be tough to view, at times, but they surely stay with us. These clips aren't spoilers, but maybe they are enough to inspire you to view the film, if you haven't already. Maybe you'll view them again.

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
I love Benny and Joon and Terms of Endearment, for whatever reason I haven't seen Truly Madly Deeply. I aim to though. Away from Her also looks quite good. I just love the way you're putting this list together.

Re: Ðèstîñy's Unlimited Favorites:
Love all of these Christine :yup:
