Where do you rank Back to the Future?

[Bufkin]

Hadn't watched it since the 90's, and it was on TV tonight. I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed watching a movie so much, let alone one that I had already seen.

For me, I'm going Goodfellas, Borat, Back to the Future, The Warriors, and National Lampoon's Vacation, in no particular order. No way could I rank them.

I'm sure when you're Tom Hanks, you're probably asked to do more charitable things than most humans can possibly comprehend.

That film was over after the plane crash.

The ending sucked. He lost his wife and his volleyball. Can't get much worse than that.

I can't stand even more that that somehow puts me on the same footing as saccoshit.

You should relish the moment. That level of personal ascension (albeit as brief and fleeting as it might be) doesn't happen with any degree of regularity for even the most enlightened of individuals.

Come on Hamas, you are better than that. You've been going to the "possess some reading comprehension" well far too often lately. (Although, you have been bringing some solid posts lately, so I'll forgive this singular transgression.)

And you never specifically mentioned where and when Pacino began to parody himself, though I am well aware of when it happened, why it happened and to the extent it happened.

And if it weren't for the brilliance of Serpico, The Godfather, Taxi Driver and a host of others - and I mean a whole shit load of others, I'd never forgive either one for the putrescence that was "Righteous Kill." But both actors have numerous movies that no one could deny stand up amongst the greatest of all time. They've earned the right to parody themselves to a degree.

Hanks has a dumptruck full of just flat out horrible movies. ****ing atrocious movies. Shit that Jason Statham wouldn't even do. "You've Got Mail." "Cast Away." "DaVinci Code." You could go on for hours about the garbage on his resume.

Bachelor Party? Brilliant.

Philadelphia? Okay, but Denzel tends to carry his co-stars better than he carries himself.

Forest Gump? It was nice.

And it's not that hard to play a reerun. 90% of humanity does it on a daily basis and they aren't even aware of how accurately they are portraying one. This board is an excellent example of that concept.

Not different characters, just the same guy doing all these things.

Tom Cruise is a ****ing badass.

[Easy 6]

Yes, Tom is the living, breathing epitome of a movie star.

But to talk him up while dogging Hanks means that you're the one worthy.

I'm telling you, that ONE character lived quite the life.

Loved the movie.

I've decided that I don't like your taste in films.
