Did it make the original 100 favorite movies list? Yes

A great tale that takes place in the 60’s about a father that is a hardworking bus driver trying to raise his kid right and staying away from trouble especially when the kid is taken in control by neighborhood mobster Sonny. This film did a good job with the story, acting and well directed by Robert De Niro.

"The saddest thing in life is wasted talent." Lorenzo played by Robert De Niro



I think this movie is severely underrated and never got the attention it deserved. I'm also still scratching my head trying to figure out howit became a Broadway musical.

Did it make the original 100 favorite movies list? No

This is what Rambo should have been from the beginning and loved the sequel as it had more action packed scenes and a better story then the original movie.

It was cool to see Rambo rip apart this enemy base camp and rescue the people that are held captive there. imo one of the best action movies from the 80's and Stallone does an outstanding job playing as Rambo.

"To survive a war, you gotta become war." - John Rambo played by Sylvester Stallone

Did it make the original 100 favorite movies list? No

Not a big fan of Bill Murray but I liked him in this movie as he plays a weatherman that gets stuck in this time loop on Groundhog Day and keeps on reliving that day.

I like time loop movies like these because it is interesting to see how the main character tries to escape the loop, especially when doing wacky stuff to get out of it. I found this movie enjoyable for sure.

"Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." - Phil Connors played by Bill Murray

This movie is one of my favorite bond films and it's got everything in it, hot bond girl, cool villain named Jaws and nice action packed scenes that makes the film exciting to watch. Every time the bond music goes off it makes me hum out the bond theme, which this happens sometimes when watching other bond movies.

" All those feathers and he still can't fly!" - James Bond played by Roger Moore

The performance from Jim Carrey in the movie was good as he plays this lonely, creepy stalker cable installer named Chip Douglas that becomes friends with Steven (Matthew Broderick) which Steven does not seem interested to have some friendship with the cable guy.

As we get more into the movie, things start to get out of hand as Chip will not leave Steven alone.
