Best Movies...

Post by KodiakChew »

Comedy, action, and drama of all time!<br><br>Comedy:<br>1. Dumb & Dumber<br>2. Office Space<br>3. O Brother, Where Art Thou<br><br>Action:<br>1. Gladiator<br>2. The Patriot<br>3. Braveheart<br>Honorable Mention: The Rock <br><br>Drama:<br>1. Million Dollar Baby<br>2. Forrest Gump<br>3. Blow<br><br>Those are just my top three, but I'm probably missing a bunch that might be better. Give me your thoughts! <br><br>*some of the action probably could have been under Drama, but they are all great movies so I needed to get them up there! <p>AHA 2002 & 2005 State Champions!<br></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... iakChew</A> at: 3/30/05 9:17 pm<br></i>

Always wonder why I am addicted to this place - then I see you guys list movies like "Fandango" (Costners best work, felt like I lived it) and "My Bloody Valentine" (classic comedy-horror, loved it) and it all makes sense. We are cut from the same cloth on here, most of us. <br>Great lists, all of you. Age is the only thing that seperates some of the lists, all depends on when you grew up. <br>I always have a hard time with deciding which order I would put them, but my favorites are -<br><br>Field of Dreams<br>We Were Soldiers<br>Tombstone<br>Dances With Wolves<br>The Deer Hunter<br>The Untouchables<br>Man On Fire<br>Miracle<br>The Natural<br>Country<br> <p></p><i></i>

Never seen Mean Girls and frankly I don't want to. On the other hand I did see the Notebook and it was a good one. Nothing wrong with enjoying a good chick flick every now and again. PEACE! <p></p><i></i>

From checking out Mean Girls at imdb.com, it doesn't look bad. Might have to rent the DVD this weekend...if I can convince wifey that it's worth watching.<br><br>If not, it wouldn't be the first bomb I've suggested we watch.<br><br>Lee <p>____________<br>Message Board arsonist since 2005</p><i></i>

Actually Mean Girls wasn't too bad at all.<br><br>I have to thrown in the Pink Panther collection in, starring Peter Sellers. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Forgot about American History X. Very, very good movie. When he did the curbie, I could taste the concrete in my mouth for about 5 minutes. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :x --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/sick.gif ALT=":x"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Lee, Mean Girls isn't too shabby. You might be a little disappointed with the ending, but overall I thought it was pretty darn good. <p>Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls</p><i></i>
