I opened this thread and actually said "Wow" but it was only because I saw the list first and was actually shocked you had good taste in movies. Then I read the rest of your post and it all made more sense

True, its possible you still have good taste in movies, in which case I would be shocked. Hence why I was shocked when I read that list, because if those were movies you went "Wow" to, then IMO youd have good taste in movies.

I wish there was some kind of inflation adjusted version of this list. It's not really fair to compare National Treasure to The Sound of music

There is.

Same here, and Scarface. I know Scarface is a big deal with the hip hop crowd, but is it really that good?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. A lot of flash, but ultimately just a pile of crap.

The Godfather I and II, on the other hand, are two of the best movies ever made.
