i've only watched one of the spinoff movies (beta house) and thought the quality was poor. reunion was fine. i was expecting a complete trainrweck with that many years in between, but it was worth one watch, for sure.
honestly i think 1/2 are in their own tier, and wedding/reunion were a notch below. i barely remember the latter two.
Top 10 no order
Goodfellas
Robocop
Training Day
The Godfather
Reservoir Dogs
Higher Learning
American History X
Boyz N the Hood
Seven (what’s in the box!!!)
Pulp fiction
I always forget about Seven on these lists. That's a good one.
It took me like a week to remember that I did watch American Wedding. Yea, that was pretty good. I can see that AP 1 & 2 are better than the other two; but the difference may not be all that much. I'd have to re-watch them all to adequately compare.
I'll be honest; I haven't watched a lot of movies in people's top tens. I tend to not get excited about modern Hollywood formulaic movies. Many of the ones I have seen were in social settings.
A lot of good movies already listed in this thread.
One movie I ing love that got some flack when it was released and has since been mostly forgotten is the 2007 remake of 3:10 to Yuma. I probably watch it two or three times a year and never get tired of it. I find the relationship between the two leads, Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) and Daniel Evans (Christian Bale), to be fascinating.
Raging Bull.
Same hear. I love the 3:10 remake. Seen it several times and each time I notice a new little nuance about their relationship. Ben Foster absolutely owns every scene he’s in as well.
3:10 To Yuma is great, but the ending is completely nonsensical and stupid.
The hallmark of a great movie.
It really is hard to beat The Godfather and a real case can be made for Casablanca.
Now if talking boxing, war, western etc that's a different deal.
Not at all. Throughout the movie you begin to notice that Dan is probably the only man that Ben Wade has ever respected in his life (regardless of how much he gives him). And since he saw himself in Dan's son, he was giving him something he never had, respect for his father and a stable home (financially from Butterfield). I don't think Wade really gave a about killing his own gang. He killed one already for the up with the coach robbery at the beginning already, and he described them as a pack of wild dogs.
