caley Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 180) DIE HARD: WITH A VENGEANCE 1995 - 208 Points - 3 Votes (Highest Vote: #8 Newb82) DIRECTOR: John McTiernan STARRING: Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons, Samuel L. Jackson Placement On Original List: N/A IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (51%) WIKI I really love this movie and I THINK I voted for it. That said, I haven't seen it, I mean really seen it (sans commercials, editing, nipping in and catching 20 minutes here or there), in quite a while. My favourite (edited) scene still has to be the scene where the evil mastermind makes McLane wear the sign in the ghetto that says "I hate everybody" (Instead of n-words) and angry black guys who attack him. I like to re-imagine their dialogue as they swarm him: "Yo dawg, that's straight-up misanthropic! How can you hate everybody?!" 179) MABOROSI (Maboroshi no hikari) 1995 - 208 Points - 3 Votes (Highest Vote: #2 ohtani's jacket) DIRECTOR: Hirokazu Koreeda STARRING: Makiko Esumi, Takashi Naitô, Tadanobu Asano Placement On Original List: #214 (2 Votes) IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (100%) WIKI NOTE FROM RIPPA - Kawada went from high vote to low vote. So clearly he now hates this movie Probably should have been on my list, but I think it got bumped from the final whittling. I know I completely deleted a movie from my list and still have yet to figure out which one it was...maybe it was this. 177) TRUE LIES 1994 - 211 Points - 5 Votes (Highest Vote: #25 Jingus) DIRECTOR: James Cameron STARRING: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold Placement On Original List: #231 (5 Votes) IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (72%) WIKI NOTE FROM RIPPA - Mmm... Jamie Lee Curtis I like 'True Lies', though the Jamie Lee Curtis scene has been forever ruined by the parody on the Critic with Tony Curtis: "I used to dance like this for Kirk Douglas!" 175) IN THE COMPANY OF MEN 1997 - 213 Points - 5 Votes (Highest Vote: #22 EricR) DIRECTOR: Neil LaBute STARRING: Aaron Eckhart, Matt Malloy, Stacy Edwards Placement On Original List: #274 (3 Votes) IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (89%) WIKI NOTE FROM RIPPA - Basically if Kawada liked a movie last time, someone liked it more this time. Man, this movie is a nasty piece of business. I can't remember if I voted for it again, or knocked it off the list entirely, because of its nastiness. 173) NOBODY'S FOOL 1994 - 215 Points - 4 Votes (Highest Vote: #19 EricR) DIRECTOR: Robert Benton STARRING: Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy Placement On Original List: N/A IMDB ROTTEN TOMATOES (90%) WIKI I SHOULD have seen this by now and probably WOULD have voted for it by now. Last year at the big annual book sale, I went on a mad dash to the DVDs and grabbed everything interesting (at a buck apiece!) and went "Ooh, 'Nobody's Fool', I've been wanting to see that!", got home, looked at the box and went "Awwwwww crap!"

Of course - I was still as all get out as I was like "Why are people voting for a 2002 movie?" Took me a minute... I knew for years Christopher Nolan's Insomnia was a remake of this but I stopped for two seconds reading the entry thinking it was the Nolan version. That's a sign I need sleep of my own!

Of course - I was still as all get out as I was like "Why are people voting for a 2002 movie?" Took me a minute... I know I've seen this, but I honestly don't remember anything about it. Though, to be fair, I don't really remember much about the remake either, and that had Hilary Swank, Al Pacino and Patch Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
