The Top 5 List Thread

[CiG]

I didn't mean it as a definitive way of dividing movie eras, just a useful way based on my own tastes. If you were to combine any two of the adjacent periods I used, my top X list would be dominated by movies of the later period. It's a way of parsing out movies I admire from ones that give me more pleasure just because they're newer / more relateable.

In the case of 1900-1965, I just don't watch enough from that era to justify dividing it further for myself.

lol the fuck, so your response to me when I asked you was basically bullshit?

Try this shocker out: it was a combination of both reasons.

Top 5 Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games I own:

1. Road Rash II
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
3. Cool Spot

HM to TaleSpin and Road Rash 3.

Top 5 things I'd like to do (or do more of) if I had more time

1. Software development (games or desktop applications mainly)
2. Make more noise music
3. Tinker with mathematics
4. Paint/draw art (including on the PC)
5. Bust nuts

Actually I have a bit of time, just prefer wasting it posting lists on forums instead. Things like travel are more about the money. Need to rake in the dough so I feel more comfortable splashing out rather than saving it for the longer picture.

Well at least I'm doing work on #5

High spot for BFTD. That has some bangers on it. We need a poll for this band.

Yeah man, I've been really digging it lately. Could just be a momentary hype though.

5 favourite Paul Verhoeven films:

1. Starship Troopers
2. RoboCop
3. Total Recall
4. Flesh and Blood
5. Hollow Man

@Vegard Pompey speaking of Always Sunny, fave character?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I saw Total Recall just last weekend. Only other Verhoeven I've seen is Starship Troopers (one of my favorite movies), and I enjoyed TR's similarly over-the-top comedic quality. The set and costume design are cringeworthy, though. Was surprised to learn it was one of the most expensive movies of its time. They must have spent it all on Arnie.

RoboCop is near the top of my watchlist.

Charlie.

I'm a Frank kinda guy.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I figured.

 

[CiG]

RoboCop is near the top of my watchlist.

I think you'll really enjoy it. In many ways it really is a quintessential 80's film.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I didn’t see Robocop until relatively recently. Fucking awesome movie.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

How have some of you not seen Robocop? One of the most popular movie franchises of the late 80's/early 90's. I still have my recorded VHS copies of the first three

 

[CiG]

I haven't seen any of the sequels but I have the box set of the pretty corny ass TV series lmao.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

damn, i didn't even know they had a Robocop TV series.

 

[CiG]

It's pure popcorn fodder.
