Wait- you did. Nevermind.

"Favorite" and "best" are very different, in my opinion.....I would have to change my list as well, I know that a few of my favorites are not necessarily the best films ever made. :)

I watched that at the recommendation of someone here (I just can't seem to remember who now :rolleyes: ) and really loved it.

Rik Mayall is awesome in that movie. The 80's BBC show The Young Ones is one of my all time favorites.

The first time I saw it when I was younger I couldn't watch the end and I thought it ended with lizzie taking the last pill to get rid of drop dead fred. I was sad for weeks. :(

I can't believe it has a 4.7 rating on imdb!

[Abominus]

Plague Dogs, SLC Punk, Pi, Garden State

Ditto that.

(I HAD to quote your post if for NO other reason but to have yet another picture of Rik Mayall in this thread... LOVED Drop Dead Fred when I was wee, and I LOVE The Young Ones.

The young ones,
Oh, Darling we're the young ones,
And young ones
Shouldn't be afraid!

To live, love!
While the flame is strong!
For we wont be the young ones
Very long!

[_____V_____]

[fortunato]

the good, the bad, and the ugly (don't know how i forgot this one)
straw dogs
brazil
the virgin spring
magnolia
pan's labyrinth
the graduate
adaptation.
pulp fiction
kids

[The Mothman]

Boondock Saints


what did you like about that film? i thought it was complete garbage.

[ferretchucker]

whether or not you consider it a horror, I'm gonna put face/off on the list. Coz I'd call it more of an action.

[The Mothman]

its not horror at all.

[THE VAMPIRE]

If face-off is horror then Simpsons are horror too

[ferretchucker]

I only said that because the idea of someones face being taken off and put on a psychopaths face is pretty bad. I'd class it as action but I thought there might be someone out there that classes it as horror.
