I recently became friends with this 56-year-old man and we’re having a movie night tomorrow together. He wants to show me the “trio” of the greatest movies ever made: The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption & Casablanca. Haven’t seen any of those (probably cause of my age: almost 22). For me the 3 greatest movies ever are Titanic, Lord of the Rings 2003 & Spirited Away. Wondering what those are for you.
Thank You for Smoking is start to finish the fucking funniest movie I’ve ever seen. I think it even edges out Airplane but barely. Top notch cast, so many jokes to catch on repeat viewings, and just everyone working in tandem to fill out this absurd but honest caricature of corrupt lobbying.
[Rec.] is the best found footage film ever made ([Rec.] 2 is a close second!) and I love the genre so it has to be on the list.
