Welp, that's all folks!
Any comments, opinions or suggestions are appreciated!!!
I hadn't realized Diehard had been cut. I think that's a mistake (IMHO). VERY quoteable.
ReplyDeleteCome out to th coast we'll have a couple of drinks...
Yippie kay yay, mo-fo!
Not to mention, Alan Rickman (aka "Sherriff of Nottingham" and "Snape") at his finest.
(this is SlikRX)
Slik - I've seen Die Hard 1 but Die Hard 2 got cut /shrug.
ReplyDeleteCorvall here. Want more advice? I'd be shocked if you did since everyone is heckling you. Here it is anyway!
ReplyDeleteTwo suggestions. First, 'Heat' is an amazing movie. I strongly urge you not to pass on it. Second, I'd recommend watching The Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness over The Evil Dead II.
Last comment is that 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' is hilarious and holds up well. I understand that there may not be room for it on the master list, but don't forget about it entirely.
Have fun! :^)
