SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS. EDITED

AND PERSEPOLIS
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Ed Wood was 1997? Definitely editing that one in.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Shit! I totally forgot about Ed Wood. Speaking of which, that's a 1994 release, not 1997, if I'm not mistaken.

For me, it'd go like this:

1994: Forrest Gump/Ed Wood (Tie)

(really Alpha and Omega)
That's the best movie of every year, even the ones before it was initially conceived.

I'll reinstate Titanic into my 1997 slot, and make 1994 a tie between Ed Wood and The Lion King.

The King of Comedy, Videodrome, National Lampoon's Vacation and Trading Places all came out in 1983.

Greg, you can't tell me that you hate these?

I can tell you that I've never watched them.

Avaitor

Whoa, the King of Comedy is classic Scorsese. Maybe not up there with Goodfellas, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, but if he's one of your favorites, it's very much worth seeing.

Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Videodrome is such a fucked up movie. And that's why it's awesome.

(still need to make my list btw, just haven't given it much thought yet)

For any fans of the Three Flavours Cornetto series, has anyone seen The World's End? I haven't, but I want to. I really like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, the latter of the two being perhaps my favorite comedy.

LumRanmaYasha

I have, and I loved it. I haven't seen the other TFC movies, mind you, so I don't know how it compares to them, but it was a damn funny movie, and honestly one of my favorite films now. You should totally check it out whenever you get the chance to.  :)
