you decide!!!!

Hi-Fidelity for me - awesome film, closely followed by Sixteen Candles which is an 80s classic.

is it really that highly regarded? know that Pretty in Pink was 1 the 80s film to watch but 16 candles?

 

thought the classics were supposed to be 16. Say Anything..., Stand By Me and The Sure Thing (more of which will come in future threads)

 

Stand by me a sheer brilliance. :wub:

 

I loved Con Air alot too, he has done alot of great films. :D

 

America's Sweethears is one of the worst IMO. -_-

Nah America's Sweethearts is alright for a bubleheaded romcom. Must Love Dogs ten time worse than that

:D He is one of my favourite actors! Got to be Con air or Grosse Point Blank.

BLATANTLY Grosse Pointe Blank ^_^

tough call, lot of his films are good fro their genres, even the really really old ones

the thin red line

the other poll

He was excellent in High-Fidelity!

It's a toss up for me between High Fidelity or Grosse Point Blank....

 

 

I love Grosse Pointe Blank and voted for it even though I haven't seen all of these films... I'm going to assume Serendipity and Must Love Dogs aren't contenders :P
