JCC Amph The JCC's Top 100 Films of All Time Part II: Street Fighter Boogaloo (Now Complete)

I can’t believe I forgot Princess Mononoke and The Princess Bride but I can’t be bothered to fix it!

 

You guys are doing such long posts it is hard to see the Will Smith movies on your lists.

 

As Will Smith's been in nothing of note, you can save the effort and not look for it.

Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery have a podcast called the Video Archives, and they actually talked about The Great Waldo Pepper at length in the episode that came out like a week ago

The whole La Marseillaise scene is the best scene of any movie ever.

 

Tell me you've never watched Men in Black without admitting you've never watched Men In Black.

 

I've watched all of them, even the one he isn't in. And Independence Day.

 

I actually never thought that much of Independence Day. I thought it was a little odd that palm trees at ground zero of the attack survived unharmed when whole skyscrapers were incinerated only inches away.

 

That's the Will Smith touch.

 

”A little slappin’, they running.”

 

Oh we doing honorable mentions now? We doing honorable mentions like the Ebert? Oh! Oh! Jail for the thread! Jail for the thread for One Thousand Years!

 

Honorable mentions aren’t allowed you fools. It’s top 20 and nothing else matters. NOTHING.

 

Dishonorable mentions are welcome.

Somebody, PLEASE put it on your list!

 

Don’t have Dazed and Confused on your list?

Be a lot cooler if you did.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Who hasn’t sent in a list that we can PM to try to influence what they put on their list? That’s how things are supposed to be done.
