What are your 24 all-time favourite movies?

24? I'll be back later with an answer. It's going to take some thought.

It isn't an easy question to answer. I use 24 because it gives a fair amount of wiggle room so you don't have to pick between just a few. Plus my one display case holds 24 Smile

9. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
10. Escape from New York/The Thing/Big Trouble in Little China

What about Escape from LA? The Thing and Big Trouble are excellent.

Have you heard of the game Fiasco?

True classics.


RE: Top 24 Movies - Oedipussy Rex - 08-04-2014

Escape from LA had some really good moments, but over all it doesn't measure up.

Fiasco? No I have not heard of it before. Just looked at the website and it seems interesting.


RE: Top 24 Movies - Kersus - 04-02-2015

I'm not sure how playable Fiasco is without pissing people off.
