Then Strange Brew, My Blue Heaven and Ghost Busters
Then Trading Places, Spies Like Us, the Blues Brothers, and Tommy Boy,
Then Black Sheep, Billy Madison, and Airheads,
Then Encino Man, Monkeybone and School Ties,

Then Beetlejuice and the Royal Tenenbaums,
Then Anchorman, Zoolander and The Cable Guy,
Then Ferris Bueller's Day Off, War Games, and end with The Producers (2005).

After that, life will have come full circle, and there will be no reason to watch anything else again.  Ever.

Cant even begin to tell you how many times my dad has made me watch National Lampoons Vacation... Actually looking at this list papa Chitown has made me watch many of these movies.

If you have a really good home theater set-up (need great subwoofage) last year's Oblivion can't be beat for having AQ and PQ.

Inception

Inception made my head hurt.  I shouldn't have to focus that hard for entertainment.

Can't believe no one has mentioned The Departed

I have a man crush on Leo DiCaprio. I really liked Gangs of New York, Shutter Island, and Catch Me if You Can

Best recent horror film: The Conjuring

Cant do horror films. Even Psycho scared the crap out of me. Never watched a horror movie before or since.

   "The Man Who Would be King"  with Sean Connery and Michael Cain  based upon what many consider the best short story ever written
  By Rudyard Kipling

You don't focus.  By the middle of the movie you should be dreaming about a dream you had and be on the verge of going into a trance-like state.  Are you following me?  If you achieve "true" inception, you'll be dreaming of a dream within a dream about 2/3 of the way through.  Nonetheless, beware...  If you eat the blue pill during a dream within a dream, then you could be plucked into the matrix.  Essentially, you'd be dreaming about the matrix..... or will you?  Better ask someone to pinch you.  Quickly now!

All you had to do was pay attention to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, aka Basil Exposition.  His entire purpose in the movie was to explain to Ellen Page (and therefore, the audience) exactly what was happening and going to happen each step of the way.  To tell the truth, understanding that movie only hurts your appreciation of it.  

Anyway, if you want to see a really good Christopher Nolan movie, watch "The Prestige" or "Memento"

Oh yeah, "Die Hard" is awesome.

Memento was brilliant.  What did you think of his rendition of Superman?

I probably go to 20-25 movies a year, love seeing them in the theater, but for some reason I never saw tis one.  Especially odd since Amy Adams is in it.

[Dish]

I don't care if my wife is giving birth, if Commando is on, that's what I'm doing.

So over the top, soooo many great one liners. "Please do not disturb my friend, he is dead tired".

I just saw it a few weeks ago.  It was decent, but still felt like it was missing something, perhaps?  At least they eliminated the cheesy humor the originals.  Nonetheless, I thought it was going to be a remake of the original, but it essentially was the embodiment of the first 2 Superman movies.  Amy Adams is uber hot. Sizzle.  It's a decent Blu Ray to rent from Redbox.

What about Raw Deal ?  It's quite hard to top the gravel pit scene.

If you're looking for a great documentary, The Act of Killing is amazing. It gets more and more effed up as the movie goes on. Vice has a really good long form interview with the director on youtube as well.

Is it worth it to watch A Clockwork Orange? Read the book, heard the movie doesnt hold back.

Terrible, terrible movie.  Don't waste your time.  I really don't get why people praise that movie so highly.

I've always found that the people that praise it, have a predisposition for hallucinogens.  Would you concur?

Because Kubrick is a genius.  Watch the movie.

Fight Club is great.
Gangs of New York

Actually I love way too many movies to list.  The wife and I go once a week.
