McSpleen’s Top 5 Movie Challenge : “What’s My Name?”
Put down that coffee.
You have to name your top five BUT you can’t use any film that stars anybody who was in Glengarry Glen Ross. That’s right. Coffee is for closers.
So, no Usual Suspects. None of the Godfather movies. Even Some Like it Hot is out.
Be sure to explain why each film is on your list, and how many on your list were disqualified.
1. reservoir dogs – b/c I love the scene where he cuts off the guys ear to the tune of “stuck in the middle”. All while dancing…It makes me laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLTqecGbdCc
2. gladiator: opening scene – unleash the dogs of war http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Cj2lUAHnE
3. Snatch – I guess I am truly a Guy Ritchie fan. I love the coursing scene and the song selection (wait for it ….yeah I included it), Brad Pitt as a Pikey (and a hero). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0_sL5AAVQ
4.Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – just because I said so – there is too much irony in this movie. Besides Vinnie Jones – ‘nough said.
5.Shaun of the Dead – two scenes: a.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ0gSbcG1FI b.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJwUAYmImCc&feature=related
