Goodfellas isn't horrible at all, just way too long imho. But you can't beat that opening, goddamn.
I also really liked Funny Games.

True, though I don't really know where to classify it
Goodfellas is pretty good for an abridged version of Henry Hill's documented mob life in Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family. But if you want a more fleshed out story set in a similar universe Sopranos has you covered.
It's long, but the plot moves at a 100mph. Of all the times I've seen that film never have I felt that the movie dragged one bit.

Plus, it's superior in every way.
It's almost as try hard, annoying, and lacking in focus as Wolf of Wall Street. Almost. Casino blows both away.

Zelda games generally suck. Haven't been worth playing since the SNES days, really.

I agree... This is thanks to Casino having a great villain in Sharon Stone. Who's able to carry the majority of the film for it's entire duration thanks to the heel heat she creates.

Top Zeldas
1. Zelda 2
2. Zelda 1
3. LTTP
There are no zeldas after that. OOT most overrated thing in ever.
Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time pretty much paved the way for most 3D adventure gaming as we know it.
Real talk though - Majora's Mask is a better game than Ocarina of Time.

Yeah never had much of a personal reverence to OOT but always respected it's contributions to 3D games. We'd all be playing games like Bubsy 3D without it.

Rocky's a tough one for me to pick a favorite with. IV has Dolph Lundgren, and is kind of the pinnacle of the 80s insanity that grew into the 90s. At the same time, Rocky III was the first non-Apollo focused movie and was knee deep in the 80s, and on top of that Rocky had to deal with a very sound loss and the death of Mick.
Rocky 1 was a love story, and very powerful, but very different than 3 and 4. And Balboa was a GREAT send-off for the character. II doesn't get enough credit but honestly it doesn't hold up to the others.
We don't talk about V, period.

They're not grouped in that way, just tied together as a generally watch one and then the other. It's my favourite franchise.
Watch your drunken mouth. I can let a lot of things slide, but you start picking on the Geordie Gargoyle....

Rocky 3 is probably my favorite Rocky movie simply because it paved the way for literally every comeback storyline in movies and wrasslin thereafter.
I actually kind of admire Rocky V for trying to do something different.
I'll grant that Mario was and is amazing. Take z-targeting out of Zelda, and what exactly did it give to the gaming world? A hatred for empty overworlds and menus that are horrible to navigate.
Also, I caught you pre-edit, I'm too old to be a hipster. I was too old when OOT came out, and I recognized it as subpar back then. I was too busy playing real games on PS1.
bold made me laugh, well done

Rocky I is an legitimately good movie, the rest are enjoyable but lose the appeal of the first one. And yes, fuck 5.
I want to get into Discworld but goddamn 40 novels.
Real fucking talk. The PS1 era games pretty much don't hold up a single fucking bit.
Taking out Z-Targeting out of Zelda is a pretty huge omission though when you consider how many games these days use some variation of it.

Beetlejuice is legitimately brilliant and one of those weird movies that kids get something COMPLETELY different out of it than grown folks. Love it.

Uh oh. Better hold your tongue. Otherwise we'll have to start talking about wrestling again.
Fook yew, m8. Neville is the definition of vanilla midget. He has no presence or charisma. He's just really jacked and can flip around.

Alien has the better story, pacing and general direction. Aliens loses points for rehashing the Star Trek II and III OST, so I'm forever getting Klingons and Xenomorphs mixed up now.
Yeah, Rocky I is insane and I've totally come to appreciate it more as I've got older for some reason. I've found a whole new level of respect for Stallone too, I had no idea he had such a major part in it's development (even if he did rip the story off a real Boxer's career). They were on Netflix recently, if you want to watch them again.

And that is exactly why I choose Rocky IV.

Yeah, it's a demanding series, but once you're hooked it won't seem like such a chore. I started when book 16 was just out, so it wasn't quite so bad for me.
I'm not sure I agree here but it's hard as fuck to compare Alien to Aliens. I think I kind of prefer space Vietnam while Ripley overcomes her PTSD versus slasher movie set in space. I strongly disagree on pacing though and kind of think it's the weak point of Alien - especially in the director's cut.

Encino Man is dope as fuck. Pauly Shore had some legit great stupid movies in the 90s. Encino Man, Bio-Dome, Son in Law - all shit, but all pleasant.

You are Breeze.
I find Neville's accent kinda cool. I constantly just mimic his accent whenever he talks and it's so much fun to do.
In the Army Now is a film I watched A LOT as a kid. So by law, I naturally have to love it.
I tend to enjoy creative world builders, so he's up there on my list. My long "to read" list.

Ho'way, Man! You can have a bottle of Brown Ale when Sunflower hosts the first ever WrassleGAF Awkward Meet Up.
I was one the kids who watched the cartoon before the movie. So I totally thought Geena Davis, and Alec Baldwin were the villains when I first saw it(I had this same problem with Terminator, and Ghostbusters). Also crossing wooden bridges scare the shit out of me because of that movie.

On the topic of stupid movies, I wish people would stop bringing up Batman and Robin as an enjoyably cheesy movie. It has awful cheap looking sets, terrible costume design, the main bat-family actors are wooden as fuck, annoying overuse of dutch angles and a repetitive as hell soundtrack

Beetlejuice is just one of those movies that when it plays on a channel while you're channel surfing, you just have to stop and sit through it.
I need that shit on Blu-Ray/DVD or whatever.
