Top ten gambling movies. Top ten breast movies. Top ten movies with actresses I hate but will watch because the movie is cool. Top Ten good movies I won't watch because of the commie actors in it. You know stuff like that.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-55819631030675913072008-06-18T13:09:00.000-07:002008-06-18T13:09:00.000-07:00Right on that one: More interesting lists are thin...Right on that one: More interesting lists are things like "the best ten movies you've never seen".<BR/><BR/>Althouse had only seen all the sci-fi, curiously enough. I've seen all the animation, romantic comedies, only four of the westerns, seven of the sports movies, all the mysteries, all the fantasies, all the sci-fi except 2001 (I'll sit through it some day, I swear), seven of the gangster flicks--the old ones, seven of the courtroom dramas and just four of the epics.<BR/><BR/>But it doesn't reflect that much about what I watch; it feels more like a coincidence.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of doing a more interesting "10 best" of narrow genres. "10 best post-apocalyptic movies", "10 best mixed live and animated", "10 best erotic musicals"...y'know, something narrow, and more apples-to-apples.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-52010891480938885432008-06-18T09:34:00.000-07:002008-06-18T09:34:00.000-07:00The best part about peoples personal top ten lists...The best part about peoples personal top ten lists is when they put an obscure film on it that you have never heard of and you can seek it out and watch it. Then you can get really cool movies that can become your personal favorites from a real person instead of some Rex Reed clone.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-25082161078212201492008-06-18T09:23:00.000-07:002008-06-18T09:23:00.000-07:00These lists are all very subjective.

But it is a lot like baseball in that the fans often know more about it than the players. A real sci-fi fan proably sees more films over and over than any movie critic who only remembers the big hit movies. And of course there is the matter of personal taste. I would love to hear your lists of top ten because you really know your movies.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.com
