The Wedding Singer, I love the Drew-Adam pairing

For me it is Happy Gilmore with The Wedding singer a close second. A steep drop off after that. Not that the other movies are bad. There just no where near the level of my top two.

Reply to comment by Seahearn4 in The Godfather movies are so relaxing to watch. by AndyKaufmanSentMe
I'll always love the part where Tom says, "I was as much a son to him as you or Mike." and Sonny, belligerent as he is, still can't argue with him.

Reply to If your funeral was to be a movie session, what movie would you choose to play and why? by Charming-Party-7598
Definitely a Coen Bros movie, I feel like A Serious Man is a very funereal choice

Yeah the framing of the story is dishonest from the beginning. It's a work of fiction that includes some real people and events. The writer even said (on the Wiki article):
>"What is the big deal about accuracy purely for accuracy's sake"

In general Sorkin dramas are not very historically accurate. I love the guy but he is known to embellish massively.
But we know for sure The Social Network (2009) is not really accurate because of information that came out later. In 2012, Mark's AOL instant message history was leaked. Mark flat out says that he plans to steal the idea from the Winklevosses and screw them over. He also says a lot of stuff that confirms he's a shitty person. Looking back now you could argue that the Winklevosses were the good guys all along.

Reply to Of all the movies that were rushed through production and released very quickly, which ones amazed you most with the final product? by unitedfan6191
Idk how Zero Dark Thirty got done so quickly but it’s like Bin Laden was killed and 18 months later we get a spectacular big budget movie about it

Na Hong Jin is one of the GOATs. The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, and The Wailing is one of the best three-movie runs ever by a director. Looking forward to this!

Mark's said he was with his now wife for most when the movie took place. I love TSN but one thing I'm always cynical on is how they frame it around a girl. It just feels so... Hollywood, like trying to make it into a movie.

Even if you took the movie as 100% fact (which it’s not), I completely disagree that you could say Zuckerberg stole Facebook. In the movie the Winklevi twins had an idea to make a Facebook, something that already existed on college campuses (Harvard included) and on MySpace. Their big idea was to make it exclusive. Not only did Mark and his roommates program the whole thing, the idea that drove Facebook initially was taking the college experience and putting it online. What are your friends doing and who are they dating. It was like opening a door to every other college campus, which was huge especially in the Northeast where you can hit 20 colleges within an hours drive. I think Zuck in the movie said it best: “If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you would’ve invented Facebook”.

Huh, he joined later than I thought. That's still enough time to make the character popular enough to spawn a movie, though :P

It’s the best horror movie I’ve ever seen. I thought about it for months after.

Nobody matches up to Kubrick in scope, ambition, or talent. My lord I wish that man could have lived to be 200.

Quentin Tarantino, but not necessarily for his movies (which I love), but the films and filmmakers he exposed me to who would go on to be some of my true favorites(Fulci, Bava, Godard, Fellini, Lenzi, Argento, Trenchard-Smith, etc.)

I'd say chuck and Larry and most of the movies before it were great. Go watch little nicky and tell me you can find something better than an ice cold whiskey sour on a hot Alabama night
