It's been forever since I've seen Excalibur. I remember wishing it had been better. I like the King Arthur story, so I sort of viewed that as a missed opportunity. Maybe my perception of it would be different now. But yeah, I wonder if Bryan Singer is still thinking about doing a remake.

I would say CatBrat broke the 5 barrier since he went plural on Harry Potter and Star Wars.

Might have been the altered state I was in the first time I saw it but for some reason the movie just works for me.

I have quite a lot of favorite movies. It's hard to get down to just a few. I'll just mention five that I like a lot and try not to think too much about it, since I could easily keep shuffling other selections in and out of this list.
Sense and Sensibility Bottle Rocket Kill Bill: Volume 2 Happy Gilmore Shaolin Soccer

I only have two that stand out, just because of re-watchability factor.
Gladiator Top Gun
Second teir could go on forever, but I'll pick the top four.
Tombstone Scarface 300 Schindler's List
And of course, comedies like Happy Gilmore, Wedding Crashers, Austin Powers etc are great for brainless rainy afternoons.

Almost to a man, we chose as if the first 60 years of cinema never happened and like the term "foreign film" were an oxymoron. Ah, Potemkin, we are American!
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

just don't appreciate the bad acting from the first 60 years and the 'lost in translation' of foreign films.
