JCC Dear Jabba-wocky,

Please list your top ten favourite movies of all time.

Actually scratch that. Just list ten movies you like.

Thanks,
BF2K1

 

wild wild west starring will smythe III and selma "friedriech" hayek

i bet hancock, the first MIB, i am legend, i, robot, and POSSIBLY hitch also make the list, along with the return of the king

 

yeah that'll pretty much round out the 10

 

probably some documentary about Obama

 

that new dinesh d'souza joint, no doubt

 

He's still penning the list. Could take a while.

"I mean, I enjoyed it, but I can list too many faults to say I actually liked it. Like, that actor crossed the street without looking both ways for traffic. Ruined my suspension of disbelief entirely."

 

Jabba-Wocky's Top Ten List of "Kind of Interesting but Not Really" Movies?

 

2016: Obama's America

 

dude i made that post like 2 posts ago

 

Why not just have him list 10 movies that he's heard of?

 

IIRC, he said in the "last movie you saw" thread that he liked Looper well enough, though of course that was with its own set of caveats.

 

was there a movie where will smith had a huge moustache? i think he liked that one best.

 

I almost wanna say the Wild Wild West movie remake, but I could be wrong.

 

I will gladly make my first addition to this list. Abraham Lincoln: The Movie. This was an excellent film. Well-acted, and a reasonable imitation of the period. Not a single boring moment. The whole of it was run through with fine dialogue, and crafted to maintain a healthy suspense throughout. Finally, at the end of the year, we have a gift of something that has been almost absent in the last calendar year: a good movie. Not merely a tolerable one. Not one that was adequate accompaniment to an evening snack of popcorn. An actual good movie that you should make a point of seeing. Now get to it.

 

That's only one. Follow instructions!

 

I shall make the next set of announcements by category.

Comedy: Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, Coming to America

Horror/Suspense: The Uninvited, The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I will make further declarations as they come to me.

 

Watch Zodiac. Finding a significant flaw in it is surely impossible.

 

The Ron Paul banker conspiracy "documentary?"

***

Will Smith Movies: Men in Black I & III; I, Robot (for now)

 

Nope; this one.

Impeccable direction, acting, screenplay, and aesthetic. Simply a perfect movie.

 

The final two.

Animated: Prince of Egypt

The Best: Rabbit Proof Fence

Asked and answered.

 

Rush Hour I get. Rush Hour 2? Ehhhhhh.

 

The opening "Deliver Us" cinematic of the Prince of Egypt is one of my favorite film sequences ever. Though it's somewhat disappointing when you grow up and realize how liberally they embellished the Exodus narrative.
