[Best of] THE TOP 330 MOVIES OF THE 1990s


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Of course - it also explains why IMDB ratings are so shitty too.

 

Normally I would take offense but I am in an indefensible position.  I didn't re-vote for Lock Stock?  What the fuck was I thinking?

I hate Lock, Stock.

 

I am not crazy about the actual story, but the characters are so fucking out there that I was sucked in.  Big Chris and Little Chris are fucking great and Rory Breaker is the best dude.

No Iron Monkey love? Two votes for Hearts of Darkness?

I'm done.

But who is going to keep us updated on the countdown? I'll personally apologize for not giving Iron Monkey a vote, as I'm a fan. But in all honesty, it would have been at the bottom of my list, below the Yuen Woo-ping film that I did vote for, which I doubt is showing up here.

I haven't seen Hearts of Darkness since high school so couldn't vote for it in good faith. Good documentary though. It stood out a ton in the days before DVDs came with a lot of "making of" features. Only comparable thing I've seen might be Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner for the scope of it, though that lacks, you know, being in the jungle and helicopters and all that good stuff.
