The Movies are back! 1-10
The Movie countdown has returned to finish its run due to popular demand. We are gonna round out the final ten now, here we go:
[10] Meet the Parents: It had so much god damn laquer on it, it was an accident waiting to happen.
A character full of bad luck trying to impress and overbearing father-in-law is a equation for hilarity. The movie is no stop laughs and features some of the best scenes of any comedy. So just remember, "It's just a game focker!"
[9] Terminator 2: He Said He'd Be Back.
Ahhhnold makes his return, but this time he is a good guy. The addition of the practically indestructible foe who can change into whatever he pleases and automatically heal wounds its pretty cool. An action packed film full of explosions, chase scenes, and lots of destrcution. Sounds good to me.
[8] Jurassic Park: Dinosaur Themparks are not a good idea.
A movie about deadly dinosaurs on the loose chasing puny humans is bound to be good, right? Right. Steven Speilberg crafts yet another fine film and John Williams creates what possibly could be his best theme song.
[7] Office Space: PC Load Letter, what the fuck does that mean?
There is only one word needed to describe this movie: HILARIOUS! From Milton to Peter to
Samir Na-"ot gonna work here anymore", this movie is full of colorful characters. Tons of memorable and funny quotes come from this movie, even though many are repeated far to often. This movie is funny no matter how many times you have seen it. I would watch it right now if I owned it. It is quite possible it is showing on Comedy Central at this moment.
[6] Bonnie and Clyde: The end is all you need.
I can't remember when I first saw this, but it was after I heard about the amazing scene at the end of the movie. The movie is about two bank robbers who are also lovers, but that is not what is important. To keep this short, they get the living shit blown out of them at the end of the movie. Watch it, now.
[5] Se7en: Murder and Theology in One Great Movie.
Morgan Freeman makes his first appearence of the countdown, but not his last. This movie is just downright creepy. A man is murdering people who are each an example of one of the seven deadly sins. I will never forgot the fat man in his basement, rotting away in his own filth. That was pretty disgusting. A movie with a interesting plot and the murders are cool too.
[4] Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: All good, but this one is the best.
Indiana Jones is a straight up pimp. He always figured out a way to defeat the enemy in incredible fashion, but at the same time always got the girl. I've always found the Indiana Jones trilogy to be exciting to watch. The movies are lcoated in exoctic locations and have great scenes. Above all, who doesn't enjoy watching Indiana whoop up on those Nazis.
[3] The Rock: My Most Favorite Action Movie.
I will admit, most Nicholas Cage movies suck. But with the addition of Sean Connery, this movie kicks butt. 1 large city+ a dozen or so Ex-soldiers with a couple nukes+the good guys+ one abandoned prison on an island=lots of action and a little drama. Sean Connery adds a little humour to this action packed movie with plenty of heart pounding moments. I'm just going to add that there is no way I would be able to jab that large needle into my heart.
[2] Forrest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get.
This quote works in most cases, but not this one. Everytime you watch this movie you know were your going to get: an awesome film. Tom Hanks performance as the "slow" Forrest Gump is a delight to watch. You travel through his life as he experiences war and peace, love and heartbreak. His experiences are like none anyone else has experienced and the movie is a must see.
[1] The Shawshank Redemption: I guess it comes down to a simple choice then. Get busy living or get busy dying! <>
Morgan Freeman's performance as Red in this movie is the single best performance in my book. He plays the character so well and the narrations are brillaint. If you have never seen this movie, do it now. It has everything in it that makes a movie great. Humour, drama, action, and suspense. And the good guy wins in the end. Its jsut an overall AMAZING MOVIE!
