[Race Car Driver]

[Race Car Driver]

Ok, now really, I walked over my my shelf and picked 9 others that caught my eye in no particular order.

Transformers
Behind Enemy Lines
Pirates of the Caribbean
Batman Begins
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
300
Blackhawk Down
Lord of the Rings
Blood Diamond

[P-Dub]

In no particular order.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Extended versions
Star Wars - the original trilogy, ep 4-6
Fight Club
Toy Story - Ultimate Toy Box Collection
A Bugs Life
From the Earth to the Moon
Blackhawk Down - Deluxe Edition
Saving Private Ryan
Ronin

I think I might be over with the mulitple sets.

Ohhh... good thread!

Sorry Paul, but everything you mentioned except LOTR and the new Star Wars are all before 2000. Good picks though.

I'll have to agree with Lord of the Rings, Transformer is simply one of the best action films I've ever seen. The first Matrix was awesome, but I can't say 2 and 3 are up to par.

10... that's hard. I've already thought of...
- Transformer (of course!)
- Lord of the Ring trilogy
- Matrix
- Monsters Inc.
- Blades of Glory
- Spiderman
- Gladiator
- 300
- V for Vendetta
- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (one of my 3 favorite movies)
- Kill Bill (absolute coolest movie ever!)
- Dreamgirls (hidden movie, but great singing!)
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Pirates of the Caribbean

I'm counting 14... don't know which 4 I would kick out.

[audioqueso]

And Team America! ha ha ha

Paul Wu... I just read your signature and I'm crying from laughing so much!! :rofl:

Heh, I guess I didn't really read the thread. I'll have to think about it some more.

[RobP]

Boy, this is tough, soooo many movies...lets see

The Pianist

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Van Helsing

The Worlds Fastest Indian

Monsters Inc.

The Aviator

The Notorious Bettie Page

The Mummy Returns

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

King Kong

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[RobP]

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen? I hated that movie...:B

Well, your no fun. :W

[audioqueso]

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen? I hated that movie...:B

Yeah sorry... I have to agree with Doug as well. But regardless, he's looking for everyone's best 10 since 2000.

[sirbogey]

very interesting choices indeed. Some of the stuff you guys are mentioning, I haven't seen yet. My own top ten looks different of course. I'll post it shortly...

[Kevin D]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy


The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Love Hitchhikers, but I have read all 6 books in the trilogy.

LEG.... Yeah, I have to agree with others. There are very few movies we have stopped before the end, and if the couple we invited for movie night hadn't picked it out this would have been one of them. (The Avengers and the new Halloween are the other two popular ones I can think of)

As far as the list. Here are the 10 I picked out from what we own:

Amelie (Great movie, watch it even if you hate sub-titles)

Before Sunset (First one 'Before Sunrise' was better, but made in 95)

The Count of Monte Cristo (The original praised in another movie below)

Donnie Darko (Leaves a lot of questions with no answers)

Fight Club (Wife hates it, I can't get enough)

Kill Bill Vol 2 (First was good, but just a setup for this awesome film)

Love Actually (Christmas, chick flick, damn funny movie)

Shaun of the Dead (British comedy and zombies.... That's all that needs to
be said)

Sin City (Can you even describe this movie? Unique and great)

V for Vendetta (Unique and great like Sin City, but in color)

[David Meek]

Black Hawk Down
Collateral
Gladiator
Kingdom Of Heaven
Last Samurai
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Matrix Trilogy
Open Range
Road To Perdition

[Kevin D]

Matrix

fill in the rest.

Matrix Trilogy

Matrix was in 1999, and let's admit; the sequels did not hold up..

V for Vendetta was awesome and Speed Racer look bad ass though..

Kevin D.

[RobP]

Oh, one more that I liked was Pans Labyrinth as well as Capote.

Wow, not doing so good with the League ops: , what was it about this film that you guys didn't like? I know it was a bit comic book cheesy, but......

[Hdale85]

Horrible acting horrible CGI horrible stunts everything looked completely fake. It wasn't like comic book cheesy it was like 1000 dollar movie budget cheesy. At least this is how I felt about it. I was actually expecting good things from the movie and was horribly disappointed.

You're calling me out on the Matrix sequels and then you say that Speed Racer looks bad ass? :roflmao:

[Kevin D]

Well, we'll see when it comes out. Maybe I'm just remembering the acid trips from college..

Kevin D.

[Hdale85]

Yeah the Speed Racer movie looks horrible to me.... It's like the old Flinstones movies.

[audioqueso]

Kevin, I'll have to check out half of the movies you mentioned. To be honest, I haven't even heard of some of them. And you're right.. Matrix was 1999. I didn't even hear about it until 2000.. probably why I thought it was 2000.

But... ha ha.. that was pretty funny that you got called out for Speed Racer.

[audioqueso]

Soundgravy,

Spiderman was like comic book. X-Men was like a comic book. Sin City was like a comic book. THAT movie was just corny. ha ha

[ahcryky]

Pirates of the Caribbean
Spider Man
The Incredibles
The Departed
Batman Begins
The Prestige
40 Year Old Virgin
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Almost Famous
High Fidelity

[Kevin D]

Almost Famous
High Fidelity

Oh, good ones!

Kevin D.

[RobP]

I think Ratatouille should be added to this list

[Alaric]

Serenity-but you'll have to spend $20 and buy the full (only) season of Firefly to watch first. The series and movie may be the best $30 I ever spent on video entertainment. (Got the movie from Blockbuster , used , for $10!)

In fact , I'm going to bail out of here and watch a few episodes now , while the neighbors are gone and I can actually use my sub!

[Race Car Driver]

Matrix slides in by default.........

[Danbry39]

Alaric,

I had never even heard of Firefly last summer, but looked it up at places like IMDB after seeing it mentioned.

Decided to watch an episode one weekend morning and couldn't stop until I watched the entire series...that day!!!

It is GREAT!!!

City of God
The Lives Of Others
Oldboy
Infernal Affairs
3:10 To Yuma

It is GREAT!!!

Yup! I hadn't even heard of it until after it was cancelled.

I have to add Silent Running to my list , and to the dismay of 'film' buffs everywhere-Army Of Darkness! I also liked Carlito's Way and Dog Day Afternoon. Also a big fan of The Sugarland Express.

If one is a evil dead fan then nothing is wrong with it being a top ten disc.

[P-Dub]

As was pointed out to me. This is for movies 2000 - 2008. So maybe we need another thread.

My Blackhawk Down does fall into the period. :P

Sin City
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Live Free Die Hard
Transformers
300

I will have to check out some of the other movies mentioned.

[P-Dub]

Paul Wu... I just read your signature and I'm crying from laughing so much!! :rofl:

And what if I told you I am an accountant. :B

[Alaric]

As was pointed out to me. This is for movies 2000 - 2008.

Oh , damn. Pirates Of The Caribbean

[chrisn]

Most of my top 10 has already been listed, more like top 25, so I'll list some ones I liked that were not yet mentioned. Technically, there are more than 10.

Black Sheep (2006-2007) Like Shaun of the dead with Killer Zombie Sheep.

Clerks 2

All 3 Pirates' movies

House of 1000 Corpses

Devils Rejects

Halloween (2007) These last 2 are, IMO, 2 of the greatest horror movies. Corpses is good and sets up for Rejects.

28 Days Later I haven't seen 28 Weeks yet (still)

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle A basic feel good movie

From Hell This would be great even without Johnny Depp. He tries to catch Jack the Ripper

Requiem For a Dream
