I know we had discussed this before, but I got to thinking lately. When I start thinking, I have to stop everything because I don't know when it will start again. Anyway, here are my top ten in no particular order: 1. Matchstick Men 2. Lord of War 3. Bladerunner 4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 5. The Departed 6. The Usual Suspects 7. Last King of Scotland 8. Memento 9. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels 10. Unbreakable 11. Goodfellas 12. Snatch Okay, I went over. Might remove Matchstick Men, but it's still a hell of a movie. It's a story about Nicholas Cage, who's an obsessive-compulsive con man. Maybe take out Snatch, since Lock, Stock, etc. is basically the same movie...but both are great. Honorable mention: Ladykillers; very underrated dark comedy starring Tom Hanks. 12 Monkeys. |

Still thinking about my Top 10 movies, but if I had to vote for best Cowboy movie, 3:10 To Yuma would have to be tops. Anyone else see this one? |

Great movie. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are probably my two favorite actors. The bad guy (name escapes me right now) was brilliant. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

...are you thinking of ben foster...six feet under, alpha dog, 30 days of night?... [/QUOTE] Yes sir, he was absolutely brilliant I thought. I just loved the way he talked and moved about during the movie. Him plus Crowe and Bale made the whole movie. I'll try and throw together a top 10 sometime, I really haven't watched enough movies lately to make it worth while though. It'll be Tom Hanks, Christian Bale, and Russell Crowe dominated though. |

Christian Bale is slowly becoming one of my favs. He is just flat out fun to watch on the screen. |

Original was better. Also was drastically different. If they would of kept the same storyline and dialogue for the new one....I can only imagine how good it could of been. You guys that like Westerns, have any of you seen Open Range with Duvall, Costner, and Bening? In the movie lies a scene more hardcore, chilling than Eastwoods ending in Unforgiven. |

Which could actually be a topic all it's own. It's close, but I'd have to go with Liar, Liar as my fav, and Bruce Almighty a close second. B) |

Yep, good flick. I'd take the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and Unforgiven over it, though. |

"You shot an unarmed man!" *dramatic pause* Eatwood slowly talks: "He shouldn't armed himself." |
