Smoke a bud, and this will definitely crack you up. I dunno, I find Jack Black Hilarious for some reason. And his sidekick, esqueleto or whatever the hell his name is, isnt that bad even. Stupid, but not bad. I like it. To each their own.

Agreed. The greatnes of the first was that profound realization of what was really going on. That feeling of discovery and wonderment. The "What is the Matrix?" theme. That, and it still kicked ass.

the second matrix was good (the freeway scene is incredible), but the dude at the end still bugs me to this day...
"ergo, concordantly, vis a vis, i am a douchebag."

Totally agree. In fact, the best thing to come out of the second Matrix, IMO, was the spoof they did for the MTV movie awards with Will Ferrell. I need to see if I can find that on Youtube, that is great stuff.

ha ha, watching the MTV thing now. I must have been subconsciously thinking of the ferrell bit, because this was the exact order of the words he used.

The next two....were ok, and really, traded upon what the first one did. Had they stood alone, on their own, they would have been very below average movies, IMO.
I just couldn't stand all the heavy handed rhetoric in the second one especially. They tried to play it off as philosophical, but I certainly wasn't buying.

I do belong in that small group. I loved Reloaded. It delved much deeper into the story, and wasn't stingy with the action either. I thought it was everything you could ever want in a sequel, and more.

I have a really REALLY crappy memory, and I m sure there are tons of movies I ve seen (perhaps even yesterday) and just simply don't remember at all. This list would likely change drastically every hour that I decided to fill it-- and fortunately with my crappy memory I COULD do this exercise every 2 weeks or so without any memory of what I had chosen inthe past, and come up with completely new lists...
Night of the Living Dead ~~ that movie and "Salem's Lot" were the only two that ever really scared me, but I saw Salem's Lot when I was like 8 years old but Night of the Living Dead still scares the living poop out of me, and gives me about a full week's worth of nightmares if I see it again. I first saw it when I was like 12 years old, and one week later my family went to a cousin's house for a long weekend... who lived next to a cemetary in a creepy "old town" from pre civil war Maryland. I sat in my room (overlooking said cemetary, of course) looking out at the cemetary for two nights without sleeping at all. Sucks to be 12.
SuperBad ~~ in the long run this one might or might not make it... but I just saw it recently and it was the first movie in a looooooong time that had me really REALLY laughing. I needed it. I loved it.
Memento ~~ loved it
Fellowship of the Ring ~~ This one really spoke to my primordial dna. the LOTR books are really the only ones that I like to re-read ... and I've probaby read them over 10 times in my life (most back in the "foggy times" of teen/pre-teen, but some recently as well) and the movie TOLTALLY "got it" for me. I wanted to marry Mr. Jackson after I saw the movie. And I saw it with my grown brother and sister (we only ALL get together at the same time a few times a decade) and all three of us just sat in our seat long after the theatre lights came up with fat stupid and happy looks on our dreamy faces.
most porn movies ~~ For my last entry I will simply lump porn as a genre together, because really does the specific title matter? However, these really speak to my primordial DNA as well, and you can't beat the production value

My 10 favorites movies (as of today):
1) Fight Club
2) The Prestige
3) Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
4) The Big Lebowski
5) Trainspotting
6) The Virgin Suicides
7) Evil Dead 2
8) Batman Begins
9) The Fountain
10) Pulp Fiction
Honorable mention: The Usual Suspects, American Psycho, Blazing Saddles, Kill Bill (vol. 1 & 2), Requiem for a Dream, Dr. Strangelove, Memento, Snatch, The Shining, Cradle Will Rock (not to be confused with the lame-ass Hand That Rocks the Cradle...)
Movies that will likely make this list once I see them: No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, The Dark Knight
[as you can tell, I have way too many favorite movies to list only 5]

5) The Graduate-Dustin Hoffman was the coolest in ths movie. Every young boy fantasizes
about an older woman.
4) Rudy-Who has the guts to follow their dream.
3) It's a Wonderful Life-truly captivating story. Watch what life would have been like if you
had not been born.
2) Remember the Titans-Another sports flick but center around the racial barriers that
some of us lived through.
1) Back to the Future-Best writing ever. How can you watch a movie 20 times and still pick
up things you missed in every other watching!
