The internet was created so people could make top ten lists of things, and then argue about them. It’s like sports radio. Ninety percent of sports radio is making lists and arguing. The other ten percent is updating you on scores and reporting on players who have been arrested.
I have created a top ten list for this weekend. Here it is. In countdown form.
MY TOP TEN FAVORITE MOVIES EVER
10. The Princess Bride – This movie may have been higher on the list, if it wasn’t for that whole part with Billy Crystal. But it scores big points for having Andre the Giant in it, and it’s got like a dozen lines that are extremely quotable.
9. Office Space – I’m still upset that friends of mine moved away and took my copy with them.
8. Knight and Day – This movie has like 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. I don’t get it. I’ve watched it like five times, and it always makes me smile.
7. It’s a Wonderful Life – I think it might be illegal in some states to not have this on your favorite movie list.
6. Die Hard – It is now my Christmas Eve tradition to watch this movie while I finish wrapping the presents. (My wife usually has fallen asleep at this point)
5. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure – Every time I hear Keanu Reeves mispronouncing Beethoven and calling Billy the Kid, mr. The Kid, I laugh out loud.
4. Serendipity – I am a sucker for good romantic comedies. They don’t seem to make them anymore. This is John Cusack at his best. The funniest part of this movie, though, is the music video for the guy playing the panpipes.
3. Casino Royale – I wasn’t sure if I would like the new Bond. I’ve always loved the Bond movies. Connery is great. Brosnan, not so great. Bond movies don’t usually have much depth, and that’s fine, but this one stuck with me.
2. The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty – This is a new addition to my list. It bumped Ferris Bueller to number 11. Now that was quite a controversy.
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark – The best action adventure movie ever made.
