Finally, some time for a countdown! So busy lately... Count me in for the upcoming foreign movie countdown, gotta get some asia representation in there

 

So here's my tentative list for now

 

In the Line of Duty 4
Devil Hunters
Kiki's Delivery Service
The Killer
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Iceman Cometh
Weekend at Bernie's
Back to the Future II
Kickboxer
The Inspector Wears Skirts II

 

So basically a Hong Kong best of and American blockbusters... and Kiki

 

of course Donnie Yen would top my list @baumer haha

 

BTW in DEVIL HUNTERS there is the single most exploitative ending stunt ever put on film, it has to be seen to be believed. The movie ends on the producer explaining what went wrong and it cuts to the end credits sequence which consists of a newspaper montage of the lead actors in the hospital LMAO

 

What the hell

I like it quite a bit but not as much as the ones I ranked above it.

 

Just a guess but I may not be alone.

It's the movie that introduced me to 1989 years ago. 

John Cusack in this and Better off dead... was just amazing to me. I love this two movies.

Cause it feels like one of those movies that I obsessed over a decade ago, but would watch now-a-days and find John Cusack's character terrible and hate it.  So I'm going to put it on the list at 13 and keep my fond memories of it, but not power rank it.  

 

My Top Ten is:

1. The Little Mermaid
2. Do The Right Thing
3. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
4. Batman
5. When Harry Met Sally...
6. Steel Magnolias
7. Henry V
8. Field of Dreams
9. Glory
10. The Fabulous Baker Boys

 I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.

 

I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?

 

What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it

 

One question: are you here 'cause you need someone, or 'cause you need me?... Forget it, I don't care. (my favourite line of the movie)

 

Mike Cameron: I don't know you very well, you know, but I wanted to ask you - how'd you get Diane Court to go out with you?

Lloyd Dobler: I called her up.

Mike Cameron: But how come it worked? I mean, like, what are you?

Lloyd Dobler: I'm Lloyd Dobler.

Mike Cameron: This is great. This gives me hope. Thanks.

You going to try to watch 30 films in the next 3 days LOL? It's due buy Sunday at around midnight. But I'm not going to be a stickler if you handed in a bit late.

I probably should have ranked it higher myself given how Deadpool 2 paid a wonderful homage to the film. The film has certainly earned its place among cinematic history.

That’s some dedication if you can pull it off.

I liked Heathers a lot.  I think it's in the middle of the pack for me.

Uh, well lots of other movies weren't released in 89 in the US, and people are voting for them, or were released in 89 in the US and people aren't voting for them.

 

I understand making an exception for Heathers, though, because it's an 1989 release in its home country. Like only Italy saw it in 1988.
