Omar's Top 100 Movies of All Time

[Cedrique]

Brother Mouzone. Known mainly for pairing up with one of the best characters in television history (Omar) to kill THE best character in TV history (Stringer Bell)

I guess that proves I need to watch the Wire in its entirety again. It is on my to-do list right after Empty Nest

 

[Shanemansj13]

I thought Memento was one of the worst movies I have ever seen IMO...just sayin

FIFY

Blasphemy!

 

[Cedrique]

Word!

EDIT: Nevermind

Have you seen Platoon? That would be on my list. Shit, now I may have to make my own top 100--it's just that 100 seems like a daunting task.

Also, why is Trees Lounge not even mentioned?

Just make a top 50 or something. It would be incredibly hard to do if you don't rate movies like I do and continuously store them in a file on your computer. My list took me like 45 minutes, even with that, because I had to sort all the movies of the same rating.

And no, haven't seen Platoon. I'm not a huge Vietnam War movie guy though (I believe that's the war that takes place, right?) I hated Apocalypse Now (1/5 stars) and watched about two-thirds of The Deer Hunter before stopping because my rental expired. The Deer Hunter was just ok to me. But I'll check out Platoon

And @beardown07 gives me shit for my list, when this nig/ga has Dumb and fucking Dumber third

Haha...I'm just fucking with ya man, but fwiw, Dumb and Dumber would be ranked way higher than Horrible Bosses. Dumb and Dumber would make the top 100. Horrible Bosses would not.

Only faintly heard of it. I might have to check it out, as Buscemi is one of the better actors of our generation

I just recently rewatched Platoon (within the last couple months, I think) and I was surprised how it did not hold up as well as I would have expected it to. I hadn't seen it since the early 90s, at least.

Yeah, that was Vietnam. If you hated Apocalypse now you might not like Platoon either. I might be biased on that one because I saw it when it first came out and afterwards there were a bunch of Vietnam Vets in the theater saying stuff like "that's what it was like maaaan"

Guess you forgot about The Wolf of Wall Street and Deep Throat.

Wolf of Wall Street: 3/5 stars; Deep Throat (when it's from your mom): 5/5 stars

yeah, it may not be critically acclaimed but interesting if you're a Buscemi fan. I think it was just something he wrote that tells what his life would have been like if he didn't make it as an actor.

I've got to leave in a hot minute for Chemistry, but did you ever see Blood Diamond? It didn't get great reviews, but it's the best DiCaprio performance ever (not his best movie, that would be The Departed, but best performance definitely IMO). I ranked it 11th on my list. If you haven't seen it, check it out

Yeah, I haven't seen it in a while so it might be that way for me too. I like your earlier idea about movies that you can watch multiple times. My list is a work in progress but the two that I almost always stop at when I come across them while flipping through the channels are Goodfellas and Stripes.
Also, Fast Times at Ridgemont High is one I usually check out for a while when I see it on.

No, haven't seen it but I saw it on your list and made a mental note to check it out.

Let's just keep our relatives out of the discussions or I'll continually have to remind posters that your mom is in such demand on Front street in Chester that if you locked her at home, African Americans and Puerto Ricans in the city would go on a rampage.

Excuse me, that's Dumb and Dumberer. The sequel. With Shia LaBeouf and Bob Saget. It's an American classic.

 

[Cave_Johnson]

Uh, Cave should not usually be taken seriously. I think anyway. It's humor.

The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
