Fuze's Top 100 Redux!!!!

3 very popular movies in your last set, and for good reason. I especially love Forrest Gump.

Independence Day is definitely one Hell of an entertaining movie. It's a bunch of easy, laid-back fun with some solid performances and good special effects.

Both The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump are easy 10/10s for me. For a long time they were my #1 and #2 favorite movies (currently my #22 and #24) The acting, direction and writing for both are just pitch-perfect. It's mind -boggling to me that these two and The Lion King all came out in the same year (plus honorable mentions Pulp Fiction and The Crow).

Arcanis' 100 Favorite Films: 2015 Edition

I don't seem to be as much of a fan of The Thing as most people, though I still do very much like it. Its makeup / costuming / physical effects were all top-of-the-line, comparable to Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn in a lot of ways.

Children of Men is another excellent choice. The direction / cinematography were both exceptional, and I love the nativity parallels (very fitting choice for Christmas Eve, come to think of it).

Opposite of The Thing, I seem to enjoy Inside Man a lot more than most people do. It's good to see another fan of the film.

Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption are two excellent feel-good films, and two of the best films of 94', and I'm kind of mixed on Independence Day. Its not a particularly "good" film, but its amusing in an over the top,overly patriotic Merica' type of way.

The Thing is a horror masterpiece, and Children of Men is a fantastic piece of sci-fi. The cinematography is outstanding in COM.

And 1994 rears its head again in Pulp Fiction. It's definitely a great movie. Like most of Tarantino's films, I didn't like it at first, though it has grown on me upon subsequent viewings.

I was surprised how well paced Zero Dark Thirty was. I expected a much slower and less interesting movie. It was basically a more exciting version of The Hurt Locker for me (which I also liked).

+ rep for Goodfellas!

Fear and Loathing in MoFo... The Gunslinger 45's Top 50 Favorite Films

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

Watchmen is a fantastic film. While I'm not always a fan of Snyder's "Style Over Substance" approach to film, but this is him at his absolute best.

Since I can't see the picture, I can't say for sure which Halloween you mean. Assuming that it's the original, it is yet another 10/10 choice (we seem to have reasonably similar tastes). The opwning tracking shot is one of te beat pieces of artistry that i've ever seen. The way in which Carpenter inserts us as the killer in the movie is very intimately unsettling.

Animal house is hilarious, even if I don't seem to be as taken with it as others are. Still, this is high on my list of comedies.

Ok, from here on out, I will be doing one at a time to tell you a little more about my love for my top 50 films! I hope you all have enjoyed this so far! There are still many classics I have yet to watch, like most of Hitchcock's work and a few classics that I am sure I would love, but I will definitely keep my list refreshed throughout the years! Here we go with number 50!

From this page-

The Thing is also in my top 100; an all time great horror film.

Children of Men and Inside Man: I plan on rewatching both as I fell asleep during both. Not from boredom, but from exhaustion.

Pulp Fiction is in my top 25.

Zero Dark Thirty won't quite make my top 100 but it's a great film. I really like that director.

Goodfellas is my favorite film.

I haven't seen Watchmen but have heard a lot of great things and would definitely try it.

Halloween is not quite a favorite but I like it and it is a classic.

I'm psyched to see Animal House on your list. It's in my top 25 and I've always loved it. It will be high on my 70's list.

Batman: I just thought this was ok. I loved Nicholson in it, but I love him in everything.

I've never seen Beethoven and probably won't at this point.

Love Old School, in my top 100.

I almost watched Trick 'R Treat recently for the first time. I'll make sure to watch it now.

I couldn't get into A Beautiful Mind the first time. I'll try it again.

The Wizard of Oz is pure magic; it means a lot to me.

I haven't seen The Avengers yet, but will.

Trick 'r Treat will more than likely make it in my top 20performance next time I update this list because I love it more each time. Beethoven is a childhood classic so to watch it now would probably be a little less magical, but I plan on watching it with my kid soon. The Avengers is great mindless summer fun. Children of Men is a better film than Inside Man in my opinion, but I have Inside Man one step higher for Denzel's performance and it is just a tiny bit more rewatchable for me. Watchmen actually took a couple viewings for me to really connect but now I love it!

My favorite comedy!

Haven't seen it but since it's got Rosario Dawson and a donkey show, it's going to the top of my to see list.

Nice! I noticed Smith catches a little bit of crap here at times so I honestly thought I'd be bashed for his picks Glad to see someone else enjoys it!
