haven’t seen el topo

 

It was really a coin toss for me with Jaws, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. Went Jaws because I enjoyed watching it with my Dad and because it’s a good buddy of mine’s #1 all time so he’s happy I picked it

 

I think for 8 of these I’d have a hard time choosing my number 1. Taxi Driver would probably be the sentimental pick, after I saw the Departed I went to FYE and picked up it, Goodfellas, and Raging Bull on DVD. I watched Taxi Driver first, at 15 years old thinking the Departed was the greatest movie ever made, then was like, oh, wow.

then mean streets is just below the top 8 and I haven’t seen Harold and Maude

 

If you went to FYE three movies must have cost you 400 dollars.

 

roughly something like that. They might have been $40 each? For anniversary or special editions or something. I had a grocery store job that paid well for a 14 year old (thinking back I’m realizing I was 14, not 15).

Sometime before that a different clerk at the same FYE didn’t let me get Pulp Fiction and Clerks because they were rated R.

 

FYE was always the biggest ripoff around. I always bought CD's and DVD's at Best Buy. I only had about a dozen Blu-Rays before I gave up on physical copies.

 

Let's end this before more people vote for Jaws.

 

We had a U.S. President try this recently.

 

First time I went to America when I was about 18/19, I was shocked at how expensive DVDs were. I bought my cousin Fight Club on DVD for his birthday or Christmas or something and it cost me like $30 in 2009.

 

I am loving how close the poll is especially since I figured either The Godfather or its sequel would run away with it.

 

Lfg 80s!

 

the Godfather's have split the vote lol.

 

*Laughs manically*

 

Godfather 1 for sure, then GF 2 or jaws..... thats a tough one.

 

With 26 percent of the vote, Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece about the roots of violence in capitalism is the Chorus.fm Film of the 1970's.
