            I like your top 2 Ned, and number 10... but not much else.

              and I hadn't noticed number 9

              Ned, do you have a moustache and a penchant for leather caps?

                      Of all of Mel Brooks' films, that's your favorite? Don't get me wrong, it's a hilarious movie. (I will often find myself humming the Inquisition song... and who can forget: "He's a eunuch... HE'S a eunuch... He's dead!") But better than The Producers, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles?

                          Apocalypse Now

                          Predator
                          Full Metal Jacket
                          Platoon
                          Empire Strikes Back
                          The Shining
                          Casino

                          The Last Samurai

                          I think that's 10 . After the first 5 they really aren't in order. It's really too difficult to choose one over the other.

                          edit: I had to add Clerks in there. It's still pretty close to 10 films

                            Better than those? Not necessarily. But I enjoyed it more (of course, I enjoyed the others as well...though I haven't seen Blazing Saddles).

                            When it comes down to it, I would much rather pop in HOTWP1 than any of the others. Plus...it makes fun of history. I like that...
