Top 25 Favorite Movies

[epilogue]

I guess if you have your girl in your arms, and you are both crying at the end of the movie as you gently caress each other, then romantic comedies are great. If you're a guy seeing it with buddies or all alone, then I can't see how any of them would make it into the top 25 of all movies.

Wow.

One of the most memorable viewing sessions of my life was watching Sidewalks of New York on the DVD player in my roommate/best bro's room after we had finished working out.

You put a pizza and a bottle of wine in that story and it's the best one I've heard all year!

Lately I enjoy rewatching more than regular watching.

Me too. For the most part.

Is this one of those straight dudes having sex with each other things?

[washing machine]

Not at all. Just a great bonding experience and feels share.

Rope is brilliant you fool. You get a double whammy of suspense through the tense one shot camera work and the creepy plot, you get a grim lesson in the theoretical versus the practical when it comes to morality and relativism and James Stewart delivers what I would consider the best monologue of his career.

[LoathedVermin72]

Meh.
