Clue ("I had to stop her screaming.")
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (One of the first films I ever remember watching.)
Toy Soldiers (Don't know why, I just love it.)
The Goonies (Favorite film growing up.)

Fuck it. Close enough.

[Ruthful]

Donnie Brasco was an awesome movie!

It's almost inconceivable when you think about it. A mole inside of two of the largest families in New York FOR HALF A DECADE, not only surviving, but managing to make a profit off of his experience.

[Still Servant]

Yeah, Brasco doesn't get enough attention for being a great film.

I feel so bad for Pacino in that movie. One of his better roles.

Johnny Deep is also great in that movie. So is Ann Heche and Michael Madsen.

Oh yeah, I'm adding 12 Monkeys to my list. That movie just kicks ass.

[fernandito]

I watched Donnie Brasco just yesterday night! Fucking nice.


"What are you going to do, take a left off of the fucking bridge?!"

[Still Servant]

I love that line.

I have a t-shirt that says "fagetaboutit."

Also, Donnie Brasco is one of Paul Giamatti's first roles. It's kind of cool. He went to Choate Rosemary Hall where my mom works (JFK is also an alum) and I guess his family is a family friend of ours.

The closest I'll ever get to knowing somebody cool.

[Ruthful]

I'm friends with some guys from Park Slope who know Steve Buscemi-indirectly.

In fact, they were there when he got into some bar fight off the set of some film he was doing a few years ago.

It is hard to limit yourself to 50 movies especially if you do not combine entire series. I tried not to do that because (other than what I mentioned above) most series of movies are not good all the way through.

[RUBE]

Since most everyone that posts here are King fans and have somewhat similar tastes, I thought it would be fun to post my wife's top 50 movies to get more variety. As you can see she really likes comedies, cartoons, tear-jerkers, and fantasy.
