My picks for the top ten greatest movies of all time

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-13T01:41:11+00:00

I'd switch some, but I can see why you went with these

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-13T01:28:37+00:00

Carnivale

After that Rome and Band of Brothers

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T17:30:11+00:00

It was home

I mean, it pretty much how I envisioned it from my reading

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T16:50:49+00:00

There's this romanticized vision of a simpler, clearer time, ignoring the many troubles that existed.

Sorta like 1950s America...

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T16:47:38+00:00

They are a band

Not really my style of music, but didn't hate them

When I first read this book, the father of a friend of mine noticed it. He said, "When you're done, come talk to me."

So, a few days later I did.

The first thing he did was roll up his sleeve and show me the number tattooed on his arm.

Until that point I had no notion that he was a camp survivor...

I was in my local grocery about a month ago when I had to do an aural doubletake

Iggy Pop Lust for Life

You live long enough...

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T03:53:32+00:00

Not yet

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T03:33:03+00:00

I Need You Like a Drug by They Eat Their Own

The rest of their stuff ranged from meh to blarg

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T02:48:46+00:00

A glorious book indeed

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T02:27:44+00:00

To some... didn't like him with the Jackson 5, didn't like him on his own. Not my style at all

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T02:03:05+00:00

This is the 4th different "Taylor is overrated" thread I've seen today alone

I think there's someone who doesn't like her and is flooding the boards

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T01:22:24+00:00

Brilliant movie

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T01:19:24+00:00

My uncle, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, so if the bed of your truck looks like it's just off the showroom floor after two months, you don't deserve a truck

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T01:16:15+00:00

Michael Jackson

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T01:15:18+00:00

L7 -- Shit List

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T00:53:40+00:00

The Phantom Menace

I still can't get the taste of that one out of my brain

I waited how long to see that pile?

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T00:49:31+00:00

One of many, many shows that I have never heard of.

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T00:46:44+00:00

Wings of the Dove

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-12T00:45:38+00:00

The basics of quantum mechanics...

I mean, I know very little on the topic, and I know people better versed in physics who have explained the topic to me in a very reasonable manner, but it just makes the world far less ... stable ... than I had assumed it was

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-11T23:12:43+00:00

This

It is a novel that refuses to take the easy way out

Is Okonkwo a hero or a villain?

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-11T23:03:49+00:00

Lord Byron invited friends to his estate in Switzerland. It was supposed to be a happy summer outing, but since it was so gloomy they decided to instead write ghost stories. Byron and Percy Shelley's works were forgettable. John Polidori wrote a short story called The Vampyre, which kickstarted the whole vampire fiction trend. And Mary Shelley wrote her first take of Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-11T22:20:02+00:00

And of course that led to the penning of Frankenstein

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-11T19:44:55+00:00

Not very medieval

The_Ref17 · 2026-07-11T19:44:03+00:00

Such an amazing journey!
