baumer Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 @grim22 and I just finished the 1989 countdown where we had over 20 lists sent to us. We're hoping for more this time. 1994 was the year we got to know about the gimp, blueberry pit and the little black medical book. We learned to get busy livin or get busy dyin. We found out that life is like a box of chocolates and Hakuna Matata. We touched up on our pop quizzes because we were all hot shots and we witnessed one of the craziest rises to fame in one calendar year as one man went from talking out of his ass while looking or animals to making the most annoying sound in the world. And we got to witness Arnold getting of more lone liners as Bill Paxton tried to get Jamie Lee Curtis to go to Paris with him. 1994 was littered with terrific films. Now is your chance to make your voice heard. Send your top 30 films to both me and grim. You have just over two weeks to get them in and the list will be revealed starting on Monday the 23rd of September. Go get em! 3

baumer Posted September 7, 2019 Author Posted September 7, 2019 Just now, cannastop said: I wonder where Forrest Gump will land. Has the backlash hit BOT? I personally think it lands inside the top 10, but there are too many here who dislike it it for it to make it to the top 5.
