Question: Were the Toy Story movies eligible? Also, I'm shocked that Cap'n Phillips isn't on there. Seems right up your alley.

 

 

Joe Vs The Volcano and the Burbs are masterpieces but I'm not surprised at all at them not being on your list.

I like the love for Road to Perdition. I've always felt alone in my appreciation for that film.

 

it's a really great movie. for most actors, maybe 99% of actors, that would be the crowning achievement of a career. tom hanks is an all time legend. that list is full of great movies.

You all need to watch Joe Vs the volcano, you'll be shocked at what a gem it is.

 

My first real date was dinner at Olive Garden ( I had the NY strip) and a movie. That movie was Joe vs the Volcano.

 

I did not try to kiss her. Later on, we went to prom and I finally got the balls to ask for a kiss or two and she surprisingly agreed. We weren’t going as bf/gf.

I saw it in the early 90's and thought it was super crappy. However, my brain wasn't fully developed and I will definitely give it another shot due to BigD's rec.

The rules apply to everyone or they apply to no one. That's a demerit, especially for having Apollo 13 that low. Come on son.

 

I actually almost left it off completely and swapped it with Big. However, I watched Big so many times in the 90's I basically hate it now.

I think Big should definitely be on the list.

 

May I also suggest Catch Me If You Can and You've Got Mail?

that's a warning. CMiYC is on the official and only LEGITIMATE list.
