'Bout time

Then, suddenly, Bacon


So now that the humorous intro is out of the way. Now that my movies have disappeared, I might was well reminisce about old movies. I'd give ya'll a top 10, but so many movies just miss it, so a top 20 would be better. SO here.....we......go


20. Catch Me If You Can (2002)- Stars two of the greatest actors of all time. Leo DiCaprio and....Christopher Walken. Oh, also Tom Hanks is in it, with some goofy accent. So before we continue to the main attraction, here is Hanks doing the greatest joke of all time. Of all time!

Begin with Walken, since he isn't there a whole lot.....like every movie he is in [except King of New York (1990)]. But when he is there he is great....like every movie he is in (including King of New York). Also, as per usual, he has a cool little speech. In the movie he plays the father of the main character, Leo DiCaprio.

It's based on a true story of a forger of checks and doer of other cons, and his high-life, and the cop chasing him, played by Hanks. It's amazing to think, that a man was actually able to get away with these amazing feats.

So ya, movie is well acted, well directed I guess, since it is Spielberg, and has a great, entertaining plot.
Rating: 10...well it is kinda obvious that these movies get tens.

IMDB (imdb.com): 7.8/10
RT(rottentomatoes.com): 96%/100%




19. Groundhog Day (1993)-  Featuring Bill Murray, the second greatest comedic actor of all time, gotta respect Jim Carrey brosef. One of the most original plots....well I assume it was when it came out, but it has been parodied to death. So Bill Murray, is .... BIll Murray, so everyone else perceives him as a jerk. And then he is forced to live the same day over and over again. He falls in love with the woman from Seinfeld.
Oh wait! It isn't her...it's Andie MacDowell!
Identical, no?

And in the end he changes, sells out, and becomes a nice, but happy, guy.
Original and full of some of the greatest dark comedy (suicide humor, yay!). What more do you need?
Well, Christopher Walken, but that's about it.

IMDB: 8.2
RT: 96%





18. American Beauty (1999)- Not as fun of a plot as the before mentioned, since it just a story of a family (well sorta two). One aspect is the father of the family, Kevin Spacey (awwww ya), is reinventing himself, and has a conflicting relationship with his wife played by Annette Bening. The other part is their daughter's, Thora Birtch, relationship with her friends. The movie has the nice message, that one should enjoy life. Almost anything can be beautiful, everything is like.... like a miracle.  Wait. NO! don't click that. Those two should never be associated.
Sadly, I was unable to find the clips I wanted to show..... but believe me, they are hilarious.

IMDB: 8.6
RT: 89%


I guess that's enough for now.....I leave you with this.
