A place for top 5 listings of any and all kind. Actors, movies, endings, characters, romances, comedies, etc etc. I'll start with top 5 movie endings. Spoilers may ensue in any post. Be warned.
1.Scarface(1932)-Tony Camonte shot down
2.Goldfinger(1964 I think)-Plane crashes
3.Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc-Nazi's faces melt
4.Citizen Kane-Rosebud burns
5.Mr. Smith Goes to Washington-Philabuster and collapse of Smith
i did like the melting nazis. that was pretty cool.
That does sound cool about the melting faces of the Nazis. Has anyone seen the David Cronenberg film Scanners? They have a guy doing a speech's head explode. That was really cool!
The strange thing is that I included one ending that was only used about half the time(Scarface, which the government wanted to change), and I would have included another alternate ending if the list were any longer(the Dante shot ending from Clerks). Now I'm doing top 5 male non-villains. Some other lists would be appreciated.
1.James Bond(21 films can't be wrong, unless they're Police Academy)
2.Charles Foster Kane(Citizen Kane)
3.Mr. Smith(Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)
4.Rick Blaine(Casablanca)
5.Maximus(Gladiator)
top 5 films about (or for) eccentric/crazy people:
(half of this list is from my husband)
- Benny and Joon
- Edward Scissorhands
- Brazil / Baron Munchausen
- Patch Adams
- The Hours
I'm doing a list a day. This is top female characters. If you haven't noticed some of the same movies keep coming up. This is because they are the best movies.
1.Elsie Stonemen(Birth of a Nation. The first damsel in distress)
2.Honey Ryder(Dr. No. The best damsel in distress)
3.Dorothy(Wizard of Oz. Enough said)
4.Cesca Camonte(Scarface. I wish it were written better, but her acting was incredible)
5.Bridged O'Shaunessy(Maltese Falcon. Also enough said)
my favorite south park series top 5 (season 8 to 9)
1. Die Hippie, Die
2. Ginger Kids
3. The Passion of the Jew
4. Death of Eric Cartman
5. Woodland Critter Christmas
Villains.
1.Tony Camonte(Scarface. He's insane, power mad, and beautifully portrays everything that you want in a villain. Another reason to find this movie and watch it)
2.Hannibal Lecter(Silence of the Lambs. Enough said)
3.Auric Goldfinger(Goldfinger. The bond girl being painted all gold and left to suffocate in her skin is one of the more memorable moments of film)
4.Negroes(Birth of a Nation. An entire race of people gone completely mad. Great villains, with racism too!)
5.Commodus(Gladiator. Power corrupts, lead poisoning corrupts absolutely)
Comedies. I'm trying to keep this place busy as possible to that it can prosper.
1.Penn and Teller get Killed(Cult classic)
2.Clerks(Cult classic as well)
3.Duck Soup(Marx bros. are undeniably the best comedy group ever. Yes, this includes Monty Python and Blackadder)
4.Groundhogs Day/Quick Change(Bill Murray delivers two very good films)
5.Meaning of Life(Great Monty Python film all around)
(1) On the Waterfront
(2) Schindler's List
(3) The Godfather
(4) West Side Story
(5) Unforgiven
Bonous (6) 2001: A Space Odyssy
Schindler's list is definitely up there in terms of quality.
I'm going to list my top five lines from the movie spacballs
1. "I've lost the beeps, I've lost the creeps, and I've lost the sweeps"
2. "Spaceballs da flame trowa--de kids love this one"
3. "What about my matched luggage?"
4. "There is only one...man who would DARE give me the raspberry--Lonestar!"
5. "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate"
Top 5 insane/eccentric/creepy characters:
1.Hannibal Lecter(Silence of the Lambs. There is no debate here)
2.Cairo(Maltese Falcon. This is the Peter Lorre character for the list. I am a Peter Lorre fan)
3.Tony Camonte(Scarface. He doesn't qualify under eccentric, but is really creepy and goes insane)
4.Gus(Birth of a Nation. Pedophile, murderer, insane, and black. How dare he be a different colour!)
5.OddJob(Goldfinger. Best Bond henchmen, among the top villains.
Things are slow, and I'm basically talking to myself here, but this is a very nice catalog of top 5 lists if I need to reference them later. Family Guy episodes:
1.E Peterbus Unim(wonderful episode)
2.PTV(throwing everything into the face of the FCC)
3.To Love and Die in Dixie(another great episode. You can never see any of these episodes enough)
4.Peter's Got Woods(best references of any episode, which makes up for a very strange plot that was clearly just thrown in as an excuse to get James Woods. I support this 100%)
5.Untitled Griffin Family History(this would be much higher if it didn't have such competition)
I've only thought of three so far. But I'm trying to think of the best movie swordfights. (Anyone can think of more?)
1. Jack Sparrow vs Will Turner (in Pirates of the Caribbean)
2. Inigo Mantoya vs Man in Black (in the Princess Bride)
3. Yoda vs Count Dooku (in Attack of the Clones)
Don't really want to add more until I can think of them, so call this an as- yet-incomplete list.
My top 5 television shows are, and this is in no particular order:
1. Six Feet Under.
2. Oz.
3. The Simpsons.
4. Futurama.
5. Law and Order SVU.
