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


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

I just remembered a documentary that I didn't vote for that I should have. I feel like I bumble fucked my way through this poll. Or maybe it should just be referred to as JT'ing.

 

If we weren't homeboys, I'd slash your tires.

 

I am big enough to accept becoming a meme because I am indeed a dumbass.

 

Not surprised I was the high vote for Malcolm X.  A very polarizing movie with a polarizing director featuring a polarizing historical figure.  I know plenty of people who refused to go see it because they either had issue with either Spike Lee or Malcom X himself.

One of those movies I keep thinking I'll get around to, and never do. Looks great. Kicking myself for not fitting in a viewing of it.

I had no idea my vote stayed exactly the same, that's crazy as I really did re-order the whole list, not just take my old list and make changes.  I used to periodically watch bits of this when it came on Showcase (Canadians know what I'm talking about!) because it had nudity but once I actually bothered to pay attention, I found it was actually really emotional and good.

I love this movie.  Just ridiculous stunts and choreography.

I still haven't seen this movie, but seeing it here reminded me of this exchange on 'The Larry Sanders Show' 

 

 

I wish they hadn't cut it off before Hank asks "Is she hung?"
