If Die Hard doesn't win just burn this place down.
 
I went with Midnight Run because I too, have 2 emotions - silence and rage. And Yaphet Kotto as Agent Foster Grant - lol.

Its the "best" but Naked Gun really holds up. Funny as fuck. Just a bit more so than Coming to America
 
Mississippi Burning is peak bad ass Gene Hackman

Really wanted to go with the homer vote here, just watched it a few months ago actually. Anytime you relegate Willem DaFoe to straight man status you know you've put on a performance. Angry Gene best Gene.

But Die Hard is just fucking awesome.
 
Strong year.

Nothing that I would consider all time great type stuff, but a lot of entertaining stuff top to bottom.

This tier of movie is much more up my alley. Emmy[/s] Oscar and/or Golden Globes Awards stuff bores me to death.

FTFY

I can get behind this. A lot of Academy Awards stuff can be tedious.
 
Good year. Tough choices.

This movie wins on the strength of Costner telling the bat boy to shut up and then chuckling to himself as he walks toward the plate. That's peak Kevin Costner.

Two problems with Bull Durham. 1. Tim Robbins throwing motion makes Barack Obama look like a veteran. If you're gonna do a baseball movie pick an actor who has thrown a fucking baseball. 2. I had a very hard time believing any young hotshot jock would give ugly ass Susan Sarandon a second look.

Otherwise great flick.

This part was one of my favorites

I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.[/i]

Ugly ass? LOL.

Not saying she was a 10, but 80's Susan was still Wood.

This is way too close. I'm embarrassed to be a poster here.

On what planet does Die Hard not run away with this?
