Don't know what UHF is, but I loved Unthinkable

jason122883 06-12-2014 09:11 PM

Should do one for #'s too

#- 21 Jump Street or 42

UHF is a comedy staring weird Al Yankovic and Michael Richards.

Pretty good list.

Unforgiven for me tho

natbornkiller 06-12-2014 09:36 PM

for e
empire strikes back or does that fall under the star wars umbrella

[QUOTE=natbornkiller;7431488]for e

It could be, but I'm not a fan of the Star Wars films.

SpastikMooss 06-12-2014 09:45 PM

Harold and Maude > The Hangover

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind > Event Horizon (Event Horizon is actually pretty silly...and I love Sam Neil)

L is tough, but I'd put The Last Picture Show over The Longest Yard

And I've never seen Wrong Guy but I LOVE Dave Foley. Is it really really good?

zonacats8 06-12-2014 09:55 PM

Lethal Weapon?

Also a big fan of Lord of War

ManInTheMirror 06-12-2014 09:56 PM

Top Gun >=< Terminator 2?

I consider the Wrong Guy the best comedy movie made. But I think most people would disagree with me.

[QUOTE=ManInTheMirror;7431671]Top Gun >=< Terminator 2?[/QUOTE]

Hate Top Gun so much. HHHHHHHHAAAAATEEEEEE ITTTTTTT.

SpastikMooss 06-12-2014 09:59 PM

I'd add:
B NEEDS to be The Big Lebowski
S is The Shining
N I go Night of the Living Dead, Nosferatu, Nights in Cabiria, Nashville, Naked Gun, or any of the National Lampoon Movies over No Country for Old Men (not a big fan)
T could be Tommy (The Who, one of the best soundtracks ever) or Troll 2 (worst movie ever)
H could also be His Girl Friday or Halloween or High Fidelity (so good)
D could be The Dark Knight
W could be Wayne's World or What's Eating Gilbert Grape or the original Willy Wonka (that probably wins for me)
P could be Pulp Fiction or The Princess Bride
G could be The Godfather or Goodfellas
M could be The Matrix (though I'd probably pick Holy Grail)
L could also be the Lord of the Rings movies

For V I'd put Vanilla Sky...but that's not a popular choice lol.

[QUOTE=mmbtvs;7431697]I consider the Wrong Guy the best comedy movie made. But I think most people would disagree with me.[/QUOTE]

I'd probably agree. Dave Foley is basically my favorite human being on Earth. I've seen his stand up and The Kids in the Hall brought me through my adolescence lol.

That's a pretty damn good list.
If you're not a fan of Star Wars movies, E has to at least be Excalibur.

House of the Devil is outstanding...barely missed my list

cyberpvnk 06-12-2014 11:33 PM

H for me is definitely The Hustler. There are so many great movies not being mentioned. I may do a list...hmm.

tajikey 06-12-2014 11:35 PM

I'm sorry guys, but if you don't have The Lion King on "L" or "T," then your list is invalid.

JWMcComas 06-12-2014 11:42 PM

For me.. M can only be Miller's Crossing

EMD34 06-12-2014 11:56 PM

[QUOTE=SpastikMooss;7432356]House of the Devil is outstanding...barely missed my list[/QUOTE]

It's hard to find other people that like it, it's cool to know I'm not totally alone. Judging from your list it looks like we have pretty similar taste in movies.
