Blarg. Forgot True Lies. Bump 2001 from my list and put in James Cameron's most rewatchable movie in instead.

I got my GF an Air for Christmas. She needs it for work crap. I was resistant because Apple are dicks, but it is pretty sexy.
I got one second hand from someone at work. 128gb with cellular for $400. I'm pretty sure that's a great deal?

If your list doesn't have Out of Sight, I'm putting you on 'ignore.'
Huh. Don't know it.
Happy to be on your "dead to me" list now
Edit: no, I just looked it up. I have seen it. Entirely forgettable.

Since we're talking movies, it appears JJ Abrams films are just not for me. Didn't enjoy Avengers or Ultron, just back from SW and... meh. Just never really clicked for me. Oh well, at least it was miles better than the prequels.
And any list of ten essential movies is doomed to failure. There is no way to make a list with only 10 films that covers every essential film.

You used to be cool, Fred
Entertainment?
Two Ausgaffers walk into a bar. "Ouch, my knee! That smarts," says one. "I guess I should watch where I'm going," says the other.
How many Ausgaffers does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to organise the bulb purchase, one to commit to changing the bulb but pike at the last minute and one to ban the other two.
What do Ausgaffers do for kicks? Two years of tap, three of jazz ballet.
Why did the Ausgaffer crossing the road get hit by a car? To get to The Other Side.

Never asked for a definitive list, just for everyone who cared enough to post ten minutes they felt everyone should watch! Not a definitive list of anything, those never cover everything, and for me at least change all the time anyway.
Abrams had nothing to do with Avengers or Ultron. I think you're just disillusioned with modern Hollywood
ALSO: yeah my list wasn't "definitive", it was the product of all of five mjnutes' thought

I do want to see the Tarantino ones at some point. I really disliked Godfather 1, the only good thing about it for me was realising how many movies/tv shows reference it.Lucian Cat

yes, yes they were. Certainly not as funny as some of the lists posted today. Now that's comedy.

I wasn't actually trying to be mean about your idea, just distracting from my not being able to make a list of only 10.
Did he not? Quite possibly your hypothesis is correct then.Abrams had nothing to do with Avengers or Ultron. I think you're just disillusioned with modern Hollywood
ALSO: yeah my list wasn't "definitive", it was the product of all of five mjnutes' thought
What if I told you that Alien was in fact a better movie than Aliens?

Avengers was Joss Whedon, not JJ Abrams.
Shoot 'Em Up is so. Fucking. Good!

Good lord, how did I mix them up. Fucking hell, a bit embarrassing. Over Hollywood it is, then.
And yes, Shoot Em Up is quite good. And yes, Alien is a better films than Aliens. T1 is also better than T2.
Oh God someone honked and waved to me at the tram stop at 6:50am.
It's close enough to work that it could be someone. But also probably wrong direction
Or they were honking and waving at my chelsea shirt
I don't understand pre 7am people
They're always so friendly.
I rememeber catching a bus once at :15 on a week day, people out jogging, all smiling, saying hello when ever they jogged past

I would say they're different types of movie and I prefer the sequel. Also T2 is better than T and the best SF horror film is The Thing.
reptilescorpio

Correct. Incredibly hard for me to say that about T2 though. It screams GOAT to me but T1 is just so well crafted. Especially in terms of leveraging their budget and material to create something perfect. God damn. That movie is such a masterclass. I won't ever talk shit about Cameron as a director because of that movie.

God damn it. This truly is the worst timeline HolyCheck.
Shoot 'Em Up is so. Fucking. Good!
This.
When I saw it on Kritz's list, I immediately regretted omitting it.
Terminator is the best movie of the series, just like Alien is, it's not even a debate
I can get behind The Thing being the best sci-fi horror, it's a masterpiece.
edit: Tidbit, Alien was the first movie I saw on VHS. My parents had just bought a VHS machine and with it came 100 free rentals from the local video shop Video Vibes. My father asked the girl what's a good movie for a family (specifically for kids as well), she replied with Alien being a popular title. Surprisingly my parents let me watch this through with them, unsurprisingly I had nightmares for a long time.

I love you.
I'm mostly covering for my own terrible and poorly informed taste in movies. I'm not sure if I could stomach movies that I've previously described as favourites, but it's mostly soppy stuff like Chocolat, October Sky, Amelie, Shawshank Redemption, Eternal Sunshine of the etc. I also once loved Vanilla Sky and Minority Report. Anything obvious that beats you over the head with positive emotions, and I'm there.
I like lots of movies, here's some that I didn't see mentioned, in no particular order.
The Big Lebowski
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Planet of the Apes ('68)
The Fly ('84)
Goodfellas
Conan the Barbarian ('82)
Dredd
Jaws
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Speed Racer
I like lots of movies.

As a self-proclaimed Cage expert, I rate that list a 4/10.
They'll really let anyone be a mod these days.
