Top Ten Tuesdays

[Justin101]

Mine are the same as everyone else's, we're all of a similar age after all, but you could add in Chasing Amy, Dirty Dancing and Grease. However if I owned Oliver! and Annie they'd be the hands down winners

1.Blue Velvet
2.Dazed And Confused
3.Clerks
4.Dawn Of The Dead
5.Witchboard ( Me and my sister watched this on a daily basis when we were kids)
6.Big Trouble In Little China
7.Point Break
8.Scanners
9.Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (it's on quite often and I always watch it, despite having the DVD)
10.St.Elmos Fire (I've lost count of the time I've watched this, which is surprising as I kind of hate it)

The only one that would maybe trouble my top ten films is Blue Velvet.

I've seen all of those loads as well, apart from Witchboard which I've never seen.

Dazed and Confused is definitely on my list as well, I had an ex-rental VHS and pretty much wore it out, bought a retail VHS, bought it on DVD and then on Bluray!

Sadly I realised Al Adamson did not quite make it into my top ten..

You'll be taking a visit to the concrete Jacuzzi with talk like that.

I thought that as I wrote that line But ahh there you go, I don't own Oliver or Annie, and you could basically take 7 random films from the other lists and add those 3 in and there is my top 10

If I owned Oliver and Annie I'd put them in the bin. And then give myself a good slap.

That's just crazy talk!
I should think that Mary Poppins would be on this list as well, and perhaps The Wizard of Oz, seen all of those films more time than I can remember but haven't bought any of them as an adult.

Note: These are not the films I have seen most. Because:

a) I worked in a cinema, and so my list would contain things like 'Police Academy: Assignment Miami Beach', Michael Jackson's Moonalker', 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' etc. I'm sure they have merit, but after seeing them 3 times a day, for up to a month, I am sick of them!

b) I used to babysit for my cousin in the early 80's, and he had the original 'Star Wars' trilogy, 'ET' and 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' on repeat play!

Instead, these are the films I have seen most thru choice

1 - The Wizard Of Oz. The most magical film ever made, and one that I can (and do) watch at every opportunity
2 - The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In the 80's and 90's, it was the story of my life and something I would watch on a weekly basis. Even now, I can quote the entire film perfectly
3 - The Evil Dead. The original one. I got it out of the video shop when it was first released, and spent an entire weekend watching it back to back. Then I would see it on the midnight showings in Portsmouth, I got the cut version on video when it was re-released on sell thru and I got a DVD player specifically to get the Anchor Bay box set release
4 - Tootsie. Another film I used to have on repeat play. It's a guilty pleasure, but I must admit that I now watch it, laughing at the implausibilities and plot holes
5 - The Kids Are Alright. The documentary about The Who. Without doubt, the greatest film about music ever released, and I never get tired to watching the live performances on it
6 - An American Werewolf In London. The perfect antidote when I have watched too many modern films that rely on CGI effects. I love watching this (and Carpenters' 'The Thing') and marveling at the practical effects
7 - The Italian Job. The original one. I can't help myself - every time it's on television, I have to watch it!
8 - King Kong. The original one. Another film that is the perfect antidote for modern monster movies.
9 - Police Story. The best of the Jackie Chan films, and one I always show to people when trying to get them to understand what real stunts look like
10 - Demons. Always good to end on a gorefest!

At least I would be in good company...
