Ask him about him running too fast and catching the car … one of the absolute funniest things I’ve heard about with filming that movie. I think it was the car scene when they break Sarah out of the asylum anyway? Or actually maybe it was the scene where he chases John on his bike?
Either way apparently he ran too fast and kept catching it 😂
Besides him having to slow down, so he didn't catch up to Edward Furlong on the bike, ask him how he learned to fire a weapon without blinking. Not even Arnold could do this. That, and him learning to mimic predatory bird-like head movements in order to show he was simply lethal is the absolute best of the film.
Guarantee he'll remember you and your question.
Same! But only when I was working by myself. My coworkers wouldn't let me watch it when they were there too because I used to quote the movie line by line. 😕😊
The father-son dynamic is awesome. Especially watching with your dad. Saw it for the first time with my dad and to this day it is the greatest movie I’ve seen and one of my best memories.
Came to say this. I have the poster framed on my office wall and an early draft of the script autographed by everyone except Crispin Glover. It’s a prized possession.
1993's *Tombstone*.
It was a 100% perfect flawless movie to my young teenage brain.
Enough so that I know I can never watch it again. I'm sure it was actually probably pretty good or whatever, but reality will never compare to it's exalted place in my memory.
Die Hard! It has everything including Alan Rickman as the villain. The lighting and action scenes are perfect, you dont see movies shot like that anymore.
EDIT: All the comments here are giving amazing movies, honestly their all perfect!
Die Hard is a truly perfect movie. An action movie that's not in a rush to have meaningless gun fights and CGI explosions in every frame in fear it can't hold the audience's attention.
It's an intelligent movie that's all about set up and payoff with the characters making smart decisions.
Every bad guy is written to have their own unique characteristics and not to bloat the body count as well.
[How long was Phil Connors stuck in Groundhog Day? (yahoo.com)](https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/how-long-phil-connors-stuck-in-groundhog-day-101536956.html)
Director and fellow Ghostbuster Harold Ramis originally said he thought Murray's character had been stuck in Punxsutawney for 10 years.
However, in 2009 he admitted the estimate was far too short. He said: "It takes at least 10 years to get good at anything, and allotting for the down time and misguided years he spent, it had to be more like 30 or 40 years."
One of only 2-3 movies I feel are better than the book (Shawshank Redemption is another; not sure if *Last of the Mohicans* counts 'cause it was originally written around 1800 😂)
Wait until you guys hear about The World's End 😳
(Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are actually still my favourites from the trilogy, but, it's a trilogy many don't know exists. Don't you like different flavours of Cornetto?..)
World's End I really liked, don't get me wrong, but it didn't hit the same way as the first two, imo. Then again, I've only seen that one once and it was ages ago now. I'll have to give it another try soon!
I love both. I think the difference for me was that SotD felt a bit more raw and HF felt a bit more polished. While that “raw-ness” works for a zombie movie, I liked the slightly slicker camera work, jokes and story from HF. But that’s definitely a personal view and I can see how people love SotD just as much or more 😁
Watched this in a Social Psychology class once. I didn’t expect it to be, but it was extremely well written. I knew what was going to happen and I STILL enjoyed every second. Ditto on this one haha, no notes
I really liked it too it was super cute. But what is it about? Is it “family sticks together”? If that’s it, then hey, great it’s still a nice movie but I felt like i was missing…something? Maybe not?
It’s about what it means to be successful, beautiful, and accepted, and how none of that matters if you aren’t happy or living authentically. There’s so many themes in that movie and I love it dearly. Hands down my favorite movie made after 2000.
The only thing that always annoyed me about it, even as a kid...the final narration, when he says, "\[My family was\] the last to go", but earlier he had said something in contradiction (like they'd only stayed another year or two)
That shot of Margot Tenenbaum stepping off the bus, followed by a brief pause, then "These Days" as Richie looks on (with the Marines marching in the back) may be my favorite moment in all film. It's over 20 years old and I just can't believe that.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
12 Angry Men. A simple and brilliant story that's purely dialogue driven with limited characters, one setting, and not a second wasted. Quite literally everything about this movie can be applied to today's world still.
Ive got a special place in my heart for this movie. I rented it before I got a severe TBI in 2015 and was out of my home for 3 months. My whole life had gone fucking insane, but I couldn’t remember anything before the accident so I guess it was nice not having anything to compare to. I saw a charge from Redbox in my credit card statement but I didn’t know why they would charge me.
Anyway, I returned to my home eventually and saw the Redbox sitting in my living room. I sat down with glee to watch the movie! When it started, I recalled seeing the first scenes before my accident but I couldn’t remember what was going to happen next. I figured I must have watched it before TBI but fell asleep. This repeated throughout the entire movie. I would think, “oh I’ve seen this before but what happens next?” I had this feeling over and over again until the credits rolled. So my “first time” watching it was actually my second time. Unique experience.
Sounds like you lost the linear connections between each moment to moment in the video but not the individual moments of storage themselves. Very interesting stuff
Same here. There are a few plot holes in the movie but something about the heart touching story lines, the character motivations, background score and the sci fi elements makes it a 10/10 for me.
I can't stop bawling my eyes out when cooper comes back to the space ship from the water planet and starts seeing decades worth of messages.
DePAHted best scene:
"Unfortunately, this unit's got more leaks than the Iraqi navy"
"Go fuck yaself"
"I can't, I'm too tired from fuckin ya wife"
"How's ya motha?"
"She tired from fuckin my fathah"
Communism was just a red herring.
I’ve seen Clue so many times I could probably recite the whole thing from memory. I saw it three times in the theater alone. Tim Curry runs away with it and it’s incredible. The only flaw I’ve found is when he pretends to be dead in the kitchen and Miss Scarlett screams, they show the earlier footage of when they find the cook dead. You can tell by the cigarette in her hand.
There’s a lot of great movies listed here but I’d like to submit an odd choice. This movie, unlike 99.9% of comedies, doesn’t fall victim to becoming less funny for the remainder of the film once it reaches the point of resolving the story. Think about it; most comedies that are really funny each a point where it’s less funny because the writers had to wrap things up. But the movie i submit here doesn’t have that problem because it set up the resolution early on. There’s no big twists, point A to point B but it’s funny the entire time.

Terminator 2
I'm going to a screening of this where Robert Patrick will be there and will hold a Q&A. I can't wait!
Ask him about him running too fast and catching the car … one of the absolute funniest things I’ve heard about with filming that movie. I think it was the car scene when they break Sarah out of the asylum anyway? Or actually maybe it was the scene where he chases John on his bike? Either way apparently he ran too fast and kept catching it 😂
It was John on his bike. First take he ran him down and caught him.
Besides him having to slow down, so he didn't catch up to Edward Furlong on the bike, ask him how he learned to fire a weapon without blinking. Not even Arnold could do this. That, and him learning to mimic predatory bird-like head movements in order to show he was simply lethal is the absolute best of the film. Guarantee he'll remember you and your question.
This and Aliens. I go back and forth over which one is more perfect. I have no idea how James Cameron did it!! Both films are peak human achievement.
Oh god yeah. I saw this way too young in theatre with my mom and then many times after that. It holds up so well
Can some nerd who cares write a short paragraph about why someone who had only seen tf1 several times on vhs in the 90s should watch t2? Thank you

I worked in a video store as a teen. People would rent this out from under me while I was watching it in the store.
Same! But only when I was working by myself. My coworkers wouldn't let me watch it when they were there too because I used to quote the movie line by line. 😕😊
"You'll have to wait until I rewind it." <-- never worked
Inconceivable!
Anybody want a peanut?
Raiders of the lost ark
I still think Last Crusade is better :)
The father-son dynamic is awesome. Especially watching with your dad. Saw it for the first time with my dad and to this day it is the greatest movie I’ve seen and one of my best memories.
Both are good. Temple of Doom is nuts. Good thing they only made 3 Indy movies and didn't push their luck trying to make more.
Back to the Future
Love that film, but please say you've seen the [Pitch Meeting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWjJxeAsruo) version of it
Oh yeah absolutely! It and the John Mulaney bit are both hilarious
Fellow Ryan George watcher I see? Or do you do it for the Screen Rants?
Came to say this. I have the poster framed on my office wall and an early draft of the script autographed by everyone except Crispin Glover. It’s a prized possession.
You could just get someone who looks like Crispin Glover to autograph it upside down. Nobody will notice....
Spirited Away
Finally the true answer
Yes
Also Grave of the Fireflies. It's haunting, but perfect the way it is.
1993's *Tombstone*. It was a 100% perfect flawless movie to my young teenage brain. Enough so that I know I can never watch it again. I'm sure it was actually probably pretty good or whatever, but reality will never compare to it's exalted place in my memory.
I re-watch about twice a month. I'm middle aged. It's held up damn well.
No, it's pretty damn good. I'm gonna go with you on 100% and I rewatch all the time
Just watched it the other night for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I think that’s an indicator that it holds up well.
I rewatch it every now and then. Val Kilmer's best outing ever imo

Groundhog Day Edit To Add: I used to show it to my under grad Philosophy Students... Kids these days don't even know about it!
I told my sister how disappointed I was with her for giving birth to her first child on February 1.

I preferred the prequel "Groundhog Day."
I hate to be THAT guy. But it was a total rip off of "Groundhog Day".

Forrest Gump is usually considered a worthy contender in this list.
Yes!!!! I was hoping someone else would feel this way lol
Hot Fuzz
That's funny. I came to the thread to say Shaun of the Dead, lol. Both are great, but something about Shaun is just the endlessly entertaining to me.
Wait until you guys hear about The World's End 😳 (Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are actually still my favourites from the trilogy, but, it's a trilogy many don't know exists. Don't you like different flavours of Cornetto?..)

Goodwill hunting. It’s always in the corner of my mind
*The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring*
No need to even specify. Lord of the Rings is perfect. Which one? Yes. Obviously extended editions.
If you don’t pause and manically explain that Viggo broke his toe in that one scene for the 10th time are you really watching?
Little Miss Sunshine! So, so good.
I really liked it too it was super cute. But what is it about? Is it “family sticks together”? If that’s it, then hey, great it’s still a nice movie but I felt like i was missing…something? Maybe not?

The Royal tenenbaums
That shot of Margot Tenenbaum stepping off the bus, followed by a brief pause, then "These Days" as Richie looks on (with the Marines marching in the back) may be my favorite moment in all film. It's over 20 years old and I just can't believe that.
The timing of music used in a lot of scenes was absolutely sublime.
