great american movies.

[stupidtyonparad]

this may seem like a dumb thread idea but im kind of curious as to what kind of list we can come up with

me and a few different friends of mine have some funny or ongoing conversations about some classic 90s flicks and stuff, some real great american movies, just curious as to what you guys think some would be

off the top of my head:
home alone (buzz your girlfriend....woof!)
sandlot
rookie of the year
forrest gump
independance day

thoughts?

[stupidtyonparad]

might have to put little giants on that list

[apoemtothedead]

The word "classic" shouldn't be associated with the 90s for a few decades.

[stupidtyonparad]

so i was going to respond to that by saying "your killing me smalls" out of habit

but then i realized how well it would fit with this and i figured itd be lame as hell if thats all i wrote haha

[williek311]

Goodfellas

[CrenshawPunch]

Add:
Gladiator
The Godfather I, II, III (fuck you, it's good)

[Casey's Dad]

Glengary Glenn Ross
Goodfellas... duh

[williek311]

Add:
Gladiator
The Godfather I, II, III (fuck you, it's good)

No it isn't.

[AloneInTheDark]

Toy Story

[Bryant]

Goodfellas yes.

[CrenshawPunch]

No it isn't.

Actually it is. Puzo had a hand in writing it, and it follows perfectly the tragic story of the Corleone family. The last scene with Michael dying by himself, alone, is incredible. You should read the book, and then watch all 3.

[NationalProduct]

almost everything listed by the above guys...

Stand By Me
The Never Ending Story
Goonies

a few

[The Database]

No it isn't.
Only thing bad about it was Sofia Coppola's acting.

[identitycrisis2]

I see your "Buzz your girlfriend, woof."
and raise you a "Marv...why the hell did you take your shoes off? Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?"

[CrenshawPunch]

It really isn't.

[Bryant]

Back To The Future(series)

[laryssa]

I hate this movie. It's about a spoiled brat who sits on the couch with a sour puss on his face cause he didn't get his stupid toy gun.

[bowl of oranges]

Hahaha. No wonder it captures the hearts of so many Americans.
If I have to watch it again, I will scream. Why can't they play a good Christmas movie for twenty four hours straight? Like, the yule log, or ...Christmas Vacation.

[FuckedandDeaded]

dude it's not like puzo was a great author. the book sucked pretty massively. the movies improved so much on the book it ain't even funny.

[CrenshawPunch]

You are retarded. Straight up. Retarded.

[FuckedandDeaded]

[CrenshawPunch]

Excellent argument. Get bent.

[robat19]

I hate this movie. It's about a spoiled brat who sits on the couch with a sour puss on his face cause he didn't get his stupid toy gun.

Oh, is that what it's about?

[FuckedandDeaded]

and the chino picture? man this shit is embarrassing.

[CrenshawPunch]

and the chino picture? man this shit is embarrassing.

What the fuck are you even talking about? what a waste of life you are. Go fuck yourself.

[FuckedandDeaded]

nah it's cool dude. i mean you have rank taste but i'm not going to stoop to your level man.

[CrenshawPunch]

nah it's cool dude. i mean you have rank taste but i'm not going to stoop to your level man.


Stoop to my level? This was a discussion about movies, and you brought up a book I read, and my avatar. Complete ad hominem, used by the most degenerate of minds. Pathetic.

[FuckedandDeaded]

all I did was disagree with you and you spout your right-wing anti-pc bullshit. it's disgusting and I will take no part in it.

[CrenshawPunch]

LOL. Ok bro. You self-righteous prick. Like I said, go fuck yourself.

[FuckedandDeaded]

and like i said, you're kind of a jerk. crude, rude and someone who takes an opinion in a way that throws him entirely out of wack, it might be none of my concern but you should get help.

[XEmoBoyShandorX]

I really enjoyed Memento when I saw it. Also I think the Lion King series is great.

[laryssa]

Read some Puzzo. Get your head right.

I have read the first book. I still think the premise of the third is dumb, and totally negates Michael Corelone's character. Plus, Sofia Coppola was horrible.

I really enjoyed Memento when I saw it. Also I think the Lion King series is great.

Memento is a good film. There is a short story written by the brother of the director (I think the short story is what the movie is based off of, at least the idea) called Memento Mori.

[laryssa]

More or less. Gus Van Sant directed.

I don't remember it very well, but I have seen it. When I had my River Phoenix stage in life.

[DivisionStreet]

I hate this movie. It's about a spoiled brat who sits on the couch with a sour puss on his face cause he didn't get his stupid toy gun.

Thank God! Finally someone agrees with me. This movie fucking blows. I didn't even laugh at it when I was a 9 year old.
