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

Deeks · 06-12-2014, 09:34 PM

Unforgiven for me tho

natbornkiller · 06-12-2014, 09:36 PM

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.

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.

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.

GoTribe!!! · 06-12-2014, 10:18 PM

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

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.
