Board 8 > Corrik's Favorite Movies to Watch - Topic 1

(+) Yeah! (+)

We can make it 3 per hour starting at midnight. I feel like your flaw here isn't in it being hard, but moreso not realizing number 14 being so high might mean something about my personality. Are you analyzing my taste? Or guessing what you randomly think are good movies?

---

I googled 'movies conservatives like' and got half my points.

---

*sensible chuckle* All I am going to say regarding that...

---

31 - Love & Basketball
150 - The Blind Side

---

200 the replacements
41 Caddyshack

---

Can we also get 3 hints a day in addition to 3 guesses per hour

---

Love and Basketball is 21.

A couple thoughts Ive had on recent posts - I agree The Fighter isnt great, but it seemed like a good guess to me as to a film youd like. I feel the same about The Blind Side, which is terrible in my opinion. I was perfectly happy to see it missed the list!

As for us struggling, Im really the only one. Everyone else has a better percentage. And a lot of suggestions not on the list have been very popular films/crowd pleasers. I think its been mostly smart guesses! Love & Basketball and Bicentennial Man arent exactly easy guesses imo

Yes, posting that updated list of wrong guesses was very helpful. Thank you for doing that!!

---

35 - Troy
41 - L.A. Confidential

Also dont forget to add Hero to the list!

---

87 - Blade Runner 2049
166 - Legally Blonde
199 - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Year hints for 33 and 35 please

---

Troy is on there. Of course!

Do hints when I get home from work.

Love and Basketball is easily one of the best movies ever made. People should have won oscars for that movie. I watch it probably 5 times a year easily. Then again, you have to be into basketball to properly take from it.

Fighter is bad, and I don't like it even a little bit. Blindside seemed like it was trying too hard.

Jerry Maguire and Varsity Blues are both on there too.

140 space jam

Silver Linings Playbook is ofc on there. What a great performance by J Law.

---

Silver Linings Playbook is absolutely fantastic, yes.

I now realize my Caddyshack guess was a repeat - whoops. I was half awake for that one.

Moneyball was a trash as fuck movie btw. No idea why anyone likes it.

---

35 - Mean Girls
43 - Training Day
45 - The Terminator

I dont recall hating Moneyball when I saw it 10 years ago, but it didnt make much of an impression on me either. Some guesses are a reflection of movies I think are good/great, other guesses are just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks, ha.

Was that a no for now on 3 hints a day? Thanks for bumping to 3 per hour, its a nice change.

---

All 3 of those are on the list. And tsk tsk terminator took so long to be guessed

And nah 3 guesses per hour is frankly more than was needed either. Yinz just impatient

---

Can we get a guessed list update when you have the chance? Also, can you double check my score. I think I shouldve been at 68 in post #379 but you have me at 62.

---

We guessed 10 movies correctly yesterday (midnight to midnight). Not great guesses from me honestly but we did enough to keep us on pace. I think today we can guess more than 15 correctly. Were already at 8!

You were at 68 previously. I forgot to give you your bonus points on 2 guesses.

---

Remember having a debate on whether All Cops are Bastards or not and using Dean Norris from Breaking Bad and Officer Hoyt from Training Day as examples in it. Chris was aware of that conversation but never put two and two together there that it would be on the list. = (

---

Corrik, it seems I got my point for Galaxy Quest but it never made it onto the list. 118 films guessed, 107 to go.

Breaking Bad is truly excellent. Ive never seen Training Day but ought to change that soon.

Dot dot dot. Must watch movie.

And I'll add it later. Watching point break. Lol

41 - True Romance

Im not confident in the Spirited Away guess but might as well rule it out just to be sure.

Yeah I give up lol. Enjoy your game.

---

@DoomTheGyarados dont give up! Well depending on the reason. If its because I took a lead, my lead now is smaller than yours at its most. Theres still a lot of time to come back. If youre bored or something thats different. I still wouldnt mind if you requested some year hints though!

---

Not the lead so much as our guesses. You have over 60 more guesses than me. I just can't be on this much. This isn't fun if it is a month long one on one you know?

---

Yeah thats fair. But I wouldnt be surprised if Corrik dishes out a 2nd place prize, which youd be guaranteed that at least. So Id be doing more heavy lifting but we could work together and if I do get 1st, youd still get 2nd and just contribute when you can.

Maybe Corrik can decide if hes definitely giving out a 2nd place prize, IF we finish. If that would make it more worth your while.

31 - TOMBSTONE

*Sensible chuckle* of course. For someone who said they were going through the most beloved conservative movies, this one was surely on there. (Which was funny such a list actually exists, yet a liberal counterpart seems to mysteriously not. Probably because there isn't many movies that pass liberal standards in actuality.)

Tombstone is a movie I hadn't seen until last year. And, I was surprised because I don't like many westerns, but this one was great. Doc Holliday is awesome too.

I was sad to see upon looking into Wyatt Earp and Doc and the events that none of them were even in the stratosphere of very accurate for the most part and that Wyatt and Doc seemed more like con artists in depictions of what actually happened. Oh well.

33 - Moulin Rouge

Simply an amazing movie. Ewan and Nicole kill it in this movie. It's just the right amounts of silly and serious. It's by far my favorite movie that is basically a musical. (But it isn't the only one on this list.)

---

40 - Dirty Dancing

I am just totally at a loss this wasn't guessed. It blows my mind. Shame on everyone. This is an automatic edition to any list.

41 - Alexander

Alexander is one of my favorite historical beings in existence and also in one of my favorite historical times. Angelina Jolie is smoking hot in this movie too. Great movie.

42 - Knocked Up

I watch this movie literally all the time. Katherine Heigl was so amazing in this movie that I never understood why she fell off the map. (Apparently she was a bitch to work with on set so got shunned for the most part). Was again on Chris's conservative movie list. lol. I guess because they didn't abort the baby? I don't know why haha. This is Rogen's funniest movie (probably followed by Pineapple Express).

---

Im very on board for these write ups

---

43 - The Last Samurai

SAKE! SAKE! I like history, and I have always dabbled more into the war side of history for the most part. It is the most interesting aspects of it. I prefer watching battles depicted on screen with swordplay rather than guns. Something just innately more entertains watching close combat to a gun mowing down a bunch of people. This is probably why movies like this are on here but not so much We Were Soldiers or such. The wife is beautiful. (But, apparently this was the point of her casting). Cruise actually plays something generally outside his general range well. It's just a great movie that depicts what I hope was a relatively accurate depiction of Japanese culture at a crossroads.

46 - Devil Wears Prada

Poor Andy. The lovable girl who wants to do well that gets shit on non-stop by everyone. Who makes questionable decisions as she descends into a life that maybe she was never meant for. I am going to assume this is Meryl Streep's best performance. This movie introduced me to the every beautiful Emily Blount. Anne Hathaway is so gorgeous in a lot of her get ups. The movie manages to be as cutthroat as imaginable while being about the fashion industry that frankly people like me could give two shits about.

49 - For Love of the Game

This is by far without any doubt my favorite baseball movie of all time. Kelly Preston is beautiful. The story is perfectly told. Seeing the ups and downs of a career intertwined with the ups and downs of life in general and coming to the realization of a sunsetting that maybe doesn't have to be written in stone for every aspect of life. Wow. What a movie.

51 - Pretty Woman

Seriously. I considered putting Easy, Medium, Hard labels on the spots. This one was easily have been an Easy. Not knowing this one was a BIG MISTAKE!


---

Your list was actually kind of tough in my opinion. It had an unexpected mix of movies with big macho energy and movies like Clueless and Mean Girls.

Pretty Woman wouldve been a guess of mine eventually.
