OT The best movies ever (1 Viewer)

[Rastapopoulos]

Rasta, my niece is gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs! I have a repertoire of what I jokingly call "everything free" recipes, yes, including the Everything Free Chocolate Cookies I made for Passover - leaven free as well.

So those were just chocolate bars, I assume?

Yes my niece and nephew are both celiac, but I'm just old.

Blues Brothers. Greatest car chase movie ever.

Call me an ornery cuss, but I really DON'T LIKE the Blues Brothers (although I love American Werewolf in London). And as for best car chase - what about Bullitt? What about just about any of the Bourne movies (which also make my "very re-watchable" movies, well, the first 3 anyway)? Have you seen Baby Driver?

First thing I said when I came out if Baby Driver to the crowd around me was "Didn't that remind you guys of a Steve McQueen movie?" Some just nodded their head. Bullitt is the shit!

No way. Not with your politics

I'll be too fat and happy to care.

This movie is creepily good, too (and nothing to do with Billy Idol):

True Romance. Best movie ever. Not even close.

It kind of depends. There are a lot of films that moved me deeply and/or that I recognize were truly great movies, but that I would not want to watch again. So I'm going to categorize this as "movies I could (and have) watch again and again"

American Werewolf in London

My kids always get embarrassed when I wear this T to Costco.
