I have seen Clerks on here a few times, but what about Clerks 2? Damn funny movie as well. I think you should probably throw Braveheart and Rob Roy in there as well.
Lucky #Slevin is a bitchin movie also(Freeman, Kingsley, Liu, Hartnett and Willis), well worth chicking out if you havnt seen it.

You also can't forget Cecil B. Demille's "The Ten Commandments"
or "Ben Hur" (William Wyler....many think that was also a DeMille movie, but it wasn't)

you could do an Eastwood top 10 as well IMO.


Memento and Reservoir Dogs have pretty good hooks...movies you see and just start watching and sit until the end no matter how many times you see them.

you guys have most of them covered. for sheer gore and entertainment I'd like to ad. From Dusk til Dawn. and a personal favorite The Milagro Beanfield War. I bought Fast Times at a bargain bin a few months back while out of town racing (son) I had forgotten how many boobies where in that movie, needless to say my son enjoyed it, as did I.

Bull ridin for the men..... love story for the women. I saw boondock saints... and by the way... great movie, loved it. Another one of my favs is Oceans 11, and ONLY 11, all the rest were a waste of popcorn.

I can't believe this is so difficult. So far I've only seen one on this page that I think would probably make my top ten list (other than Caddyshack) and that is "Fargo". 12 Angry Men might make the list but I'm thinking there have to be 8 other better movies than have been listed here already. I just can't think of any. Smile Here are some contenders for my list:

Caddyshack
Fargo
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Vacation
Smokey and the Bandit
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

void- you can't find ONE on my Pacino Top Ten, Deniro Top Ten, Vaughn Top Ten, or Nicholson Top Ten ( I think there were like 12 on each of those)?


You cannot be THAT discerning!!!
I don't even know what that means so I guess maybe I can. Smile I think Nicholson is one of the best actors ever. I thought As Good as it Gets was a really good movie and the Bucket List was pretty good. I like his role in many movies he plays in but don't necessarily think the movie is that great. Same goes for Deniro. I absolutely can't stand Vince Vaugn for some reason. I guess I'm more into the lighter movies (except for Fargo, and maybe Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill movies). The ones you don't have to think to hard about like Shallow Hal and Dumb and Dumber and virtually every Adam Sandler movie made. Smile I guess I just have a hard time picking a top 10. I have about 100 that I really enjoyed in their own way but don't think any one is any "better" than the other.
