BOT: THE REVISITING -- TOP 25 of 2012 | accursed Nolanites are triumphant again

[DAR]

I'll say this for inevitable 1987 entry FI'll Metal Jacket.  It's one half a  great film.  And one half a pretty average one.  But the  great half more than makes up for it 

[4815162342]

Actually @Sam Hobbit 1 did not make my Top 25.

 

John Carter squeaked in.

Watch Three Men and a Baby it's fun for the whole family

 

It's fine but so many better comedies in 1987 (most of which won't make my top 25)

 

The Princess Bride

Broadcast News

Raising Arizona

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Roxanne

Innerspace

Throw Momma From the Train

Adventures in Babysitting

Radio Days

Outrageous Fortune

Baby Boom
Nadine

I was kidding! Cuz it's somehow the highest grossing movie of the year (and also a Disney)

 

Ted Danson and the Gutt, their power

[CoolioD1]

i said it in the other thread but broadcast news is my #1. the rest i'll figure out. got some ideas though, should be done quick enough.

Everyone here already watched Broadcast News when we did the William Hurt marathon before Civil War, I'm sure of it

[Goffe]

I will probably FYC Empire of the Sun in every page of the 1987 thread until everyone puts that movie in their lists.

[WrathOfHan]

If I made my list right now, it'd be:

 

1. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

2. Princess Bride

3. Full Metal Jacket

4. Hellraiser

5. Spaceballs

6. Lethal Weapon

7. The Running Man

 

I need to see more movies.

THE LAST EMPEROR FOR #1

 

Maybe Top 10

 

I might have these above it in some order (everyone go watch them - yeah I know you've all seen PB and RA - I mean the rest)

 

Maurice

Babette's Feast

Au Revoir Les Enfants

The Dead

Wings Of Desire

Broadcast News

Princess Bride

Swimming to Cambodia

Raising Arizona

 

 

[CoolioD1]

that's actually my favourite William "Thunderburt" Hurt performance. so people vote for it in lieu of the MCU flicks they blindly vote for every year here. i know it'll be tough without them.

I'll do Broadcast News for sure, but the other three aren't on any streaming services  

 

Spoiler

Perhaps I'll watch them through extreme ways

Nah, I'm too lazy for that

I was saying this to another but I feel like I saw Princess Bride too late for it to really take a hold of me. I saw it in my late teenager years so while I liked it...it's not some stone cold classic to me.

 

Raising Arizona and Broadcast News will probably be pretty high, but I admit to not having seen the others.

Reminder that a James Bond movie apparently came out in 87.
