TOP TEN MOVIES

This is an approximate list of my 10 favorite movies of all time. Granted, I am no expert at movies, and some choices you may find to be really bizarre. I suggest you go hither for some knowledgeable reviews, courtesy of my movie fanatic friend Volodya (Vlad). I generally do not believe in watching movies more than once, but some entries on this list have been watched and rewatched by yours truly to the point where whole parts were memorized. Below these you will find the 10 most laughably marasmatic movies of all time. These are movies that are so bad, they are really hilarious. So without further adieu, ...
  1. Star Wars, George Lucas         "Stay on target"
    This is the BEST movie of all time. It has action, adventure, plot, and even some really cute characters. My favorite? R2D2, the lovable robot! What talent!
  2. Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino         "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger..."
    Yes, I just love this movie. It features so many little things and phrases that have become part of my lexicon. Even the music selection is nearly flawless. I said goddamn!
  3. Menace II Society, Albert & Allen Hughes         "Whatcha you say about my MOMMA?"
    As far as I am concerned, this is MY cult favorite! This is quite simply the best 'hood movie ever made, and I would know, since it is one of my favorite genres. Large parts of the script have been memorized by me, and any watching of the movie has me acting out the part of a young "wiggah".
  4. Airplane, Jim Abraham & David Zucker
    This movie showcases the kind of humor I like best in a comedy... well, really stupid! I just love all kinds of puns, goofs, and parodies, and this movie is a classic of this style.
  5. Hoop Dreams, Steve James
    This is the best documentary I have ever seen. Incredibly realistic and moving, it is an epic journey to the depths of human character (no it is not).
  6. Carlito's Way, Brian De Palma
    This is a really cool gangster movie about the travails of an old fox trying to start anew.
  7. Fresh, Boaz Yakin
    This is a movie about a really smart young boy growing up in the hood, who outwits all the gangsters in the neighborhood. Oh yeah, he is also really good at chess!
  8. Schindler's List , Steven Spielberg
    Everyone should see this movie. Shows you that Spielberg can make good movies if he wants to.
  9. Au Revoir les Enfants (Goodbye, Children) , Louis Malle
    This is a really, really sad movie about young Jewish kids in France hiding out during the Holocaust. This movie is probably not very well known, (I only saw it by accident) but it is really moving.
  10. Ironia sud'by, ili s legkim parom.
        This is my all-time favorite Russian movie. Even though it is probably not funny unless you have lived in Russia, I just had to include it. The portrayal of drunks in this movie is unrivaled.
The Worst Movies of All Time
"There was a murder, and somebody is responsible"
  1. Marasm, [R]
        Ok, ok, there is really no such movie, but if there was, it would be in front.
  2. The Postman, Kevin Costner
        Kevin Costner makes a movie with no plot, no meaning, and no acting,... and stretches it for three hours. Costner clearly suffers from delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of his own ability. This movie was so bad, even the dog (!) fell asleep halfway through.
  3. Waterworld, Kevin Costner
        The watered-down :-) version of The Postman. Box office flop is not only our destination, it is our destiny!
  4. Red Dawn, John Milius
        From the renowned director John Milius comes the story of young boys fighting Soviet invaders who land in the middle of white trash country. Features Americans trying to portray Russians and a long, hilarious speech (in Russian) by an American actor.
  5. Plan 9 from Outer Space, Ed Wood, Jr.
        This is a classic
  6. Godzilla, Ronald Emmerich
        Plot does matter.
  7. Merlin
        Actors in ridiculous outfits stage poorly-choreographed fight scenes inside cardboard castles. And no, white smoke and distorted camera lenses are NOT how you portray magic.
  8. The Matrix
        Only one thought crossed my mind as I was watching this movie... It wasn't "when will this end", but rather: "You too have a future in moviemaking".
