  • Hot Fuzz

    Shaun of the Dead

    Snatch

    Those I can just watch over and over, so those are mine. There are better movies out there, but if I can watch them that frequently, then that’s my qualifier I guess.

    Runners up: LOTR (honestly they are #1, 2 and 3, but that’s cheating), The Fith Element, Spirited Away, Back to the Future, Heat, Dune (not that one), Saving Private Ryan, Akira, Terminator 2, Princess Bride, Dancer in the Dark, Tombstone, The Sound of Music, The Matrix, Monty Python (Grail and Brian), Naked Gun, Harry Potter series. I guess some of the Star Wars movies, maybe the unadulterated originals and Rogue One.

    Worst: Sausage Party (it’s so bad it makes any other movie good)








  • Absolutely. If you haven’t seen Washington Crossing the Deleware in person, you simply haven’t experienced it properly. You don’t get the sense of scale on the internet. Same with the Louvre, d’Orsay or any other world-class museum. Even local museums like the Columbia Maritime Museum in Astoria OR has exhibits and stories that really require that intimate exposure to be engrossed in the information. It transforms your reception to the exhibits and cannot be replicated virtually.
