Two movies in my "Elite" class. REALLY hard to not vote for FMJ, but Field of Dreams is that special.

Heck, I wrote my college admission essay about that movie...

GUMP

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fargo was just such an awesome collision between white bread "hiya hon" suburban/rural life with stupid and remorseless criminality, all caused by the pitiful loser played so brilliantly by William H Macy. The creepy, delusional guy who wanted to get it on with the pregnant cop was also a guy we've all known and wanted to stay the hell away from...great flick that is funny and horrifying at the same time.
"What the fuck happened here?"
"Uh, she started shrieking, ya know. She wouldn't stop..."
"Jeezus...well, it don't matter."

"I GOT SHOT IN THE FUCKING FACE!!!"

This is the most wide open category so far.

Fargo is my personal fav but I went Field of Dream because I think it's a little better movie.

 

[PatsFan2003]

All great movies for me except Gump which is on my good but overrated list..

 

[Wazmankg]

Fargo.... that and FMJ were the only 2 here on my list I think.

I really like all 5 of these but being there is almost nothing i've loved more than baseball since I was about 4 I gotta go with Field of Dreams...

Full Metal Jacket, one of those movies that changes you after you see it

Like I said, I cant fault any vote for FMJ. It is one of the greatest movies ever made.

The problem is that once they get out of Basic Training, the movie gets kinda meh (over-statement, I know).

Field of Dreams is a great baseball movie, a great family movie, a great redemption movie, a great father/son movie... And that James Earl Jones speech about what baseball means? OMG, are you serious??

Greatest.
Movie-speech.
Ever!

A Few Good Men (on my F list) would beg to differ! Jack Nicholson's rant after the infamous, "you can't handle the truth!" kicks ass!

It pales in comparison to Basic Training which is just amazing but it's still good.

Here are some great scenes where I only have to quote from part II

"Me so HORNY. Me love you long time."

"You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?"

"it's a huge shit sandwich, and we're all gonna have to take a bite."

"I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them."

Field of Dreams is a great baseball movie, a great family movie, a great redemption movie, a great father/son movie... And that James Earl Jones speech about what baseball means? OMG, are you serious??

Yep.

Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite sci-fi movies and there's nothing wrong with a Fish Called Wanda, Fiddler on the Roof or Fantasia either.

That's how stacked this letter is.

I seen Fiddler on the roof in the theatre when I was like 9 years old, still cant get that "if I were a rich man" song out of my head.
