I'm really bad with lists and they change all the time and I even made one a few months back that I thought I was proud of... until I saw about 10 films that kicked the butts of several films on that list.
However, this list is one that I'm confident in and that I think will stand for awhile:
Top 30:
1. The
Breakfast Club (1985) John Hughes
22. Th
e Godfather (1972) Francis Ford Coppola

this list made me want to watch Donnie Darko again. Great movie. too bad Richard Kelley never came out with another movie, but I guess he was quitting while he was ahead.
Glad Unbreakable made it on your list. I think that one is my second favorite (second only to the phenomenal 2001)
And, of course, this will add alot of movies to see on my list. Still have alot of Kubrick films to see.
By the way, have you seen Dr. Strangelove? cant remember if you watched it or not.
Say what again.
I have seen Dr. Strangelove. I liked it. I found it incredibly funny as well. The dark humor was brilliant! I was actually laughing my butt off when the crazy general was holding that guy hostage and then went and shot himself. Leave it to Stan K. to make me laugh about a suicide...
2001 is phenomenal. I wish more people could see that... It really may be one of the most brilliant films ever to be made.
I actually really want to watch STalker (#6) with you and Zach. The film had three main characters that I saw as me, you and Zach almost. It was so weird.
ENGLISH, MOFO, DO YOU SPEAK IT???!!!
Thats an awesome list. It makes me wish I watched more movies, but unfortunately, I don't.
Just to answer a couple of your points on the your comment on my blog (thanks for the comment btw, always appreciate your perspective ;) The beauty of breaking up the Government Schools is that it allows people the right to choose and send their children to whatever school they want. Right now, regardless of where you go to school, your parents pay taxes for the schooling that you won't ever use. By abolishing the Education system AND the tax system, more people will have money for educating their children in the school they see fit. Too many people are going to government schools and being indoctrinated and brain washed.
On Gay Marriage and Abortion I agree with you. I don't think the government should medal in that. The constitution does not say it is legal or not. Maybe I will change my mind about that in the future as I study more, but for now, lets say that is true. I think that the people of the States (IE the state government) should decide if they want Abortion and Gay Marriage to be legal. I don't think the Congress can make that law. I think It should be up to the people themselves.
Nice blog C-burn ;)
