Best film of the 80s - QF4 - Trading Places v the Blues Brothers

[ShipOfTheseus]

Would no be a good time to admit to really fancying Emma Thompson in the Tall Guy?

I think the moment has passed.

 

[Baleforce]

Didn’t really notice her to be fair.

Fair enough. As you were

 

[milo]

Blinded by Goldblum?

 

[Baleforce]

I did notice @ShipOfGoldblum fetching new avatar though, chapeau

Must be a cookie thing, I didn’t notice until this morning. Ooh, the swine.

Will have to start the Barca OMT, pray for a trouncing and then get a replacement I can live with.

Goldblum photoshopped into a Barca kit?

Or Messi onto Goldblum's chest

 

[Lemonade Money]

You know goldblum is a gooner right?

I had a quick search for dirt on Goldblum last night, and there wasn’t any serious evidence of any affiliations at all, beyond Miloesque Woolwichians claiming him as one of their own due to Goonersaurus being a dinosaur and Goldblum having featured in a dinosaur movie. His hobbies are playing the piano and complimenting women on their shoes. Doubt he even pretends to care about baseball.

Dr Malcom was a chaos theory expert, by that logic Alan Grant would be the goon and surely he'd be a United fan?

Well, there’s no arguing with that.

A smidge over an hour to go

 

[Bullet]

I'm happy to do a best of the 90s, once this is over, if there is a demand. Please don't tell Bullet though.

The Shawshank Redemption is supposed to be the best evs evs.

But for me Schindler's List beats it, because EVERYONE in the cinema just sat still as the titles rolled, nobody dared get up for 5 minutes, everyone just sat there crying, thinking about the horrendous Jewish death toll at the hands of the savage Nazis

It's sentimental toss though, isn't it?

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Bit of both. It’s well made, manipulative, trite, audience-flattering yet undemanding. It should be on the longlist but it shouldn’t get any further.

 

[the dza]

Would probably be*,

Jurassic Park
Goodfellas
Reservoir Dogs
The Big Lebowski

So, yes better than our final four here, but possibly not the four it should have been.

*Unless we let GG vote on it.

No point in doing the 90s poll, you've got it pretty much sorted. With the winner being The Big Lebowski.

Jurassic Park was the first film I ever saw at the cinema, I think I was 9 or 10. Nothing else I went to see ever lived up to it. I can't actually remember the last time I went to the cinema.

 

[Seedy Ron]

It was when you were 9 or 10, watching Jurassic Park.

Reservoir Dogs is brick. I'd have to set fire to the forum if that made the semis.

 

[milo]

The Blues Brothers goes through to the last four.
