    You've got some great ones in there. I especially liked The Stalking Moon. You might want to add Night of the Grizzly to your list.

    I'd like to add
    Heaven Can Wait (1978);
    A Shot in the Dark;
    The Pink Panther;
    The Party;
    The Thing from Another World;
    The Equalizer;
    Kingsman: The Secret Service;
    Get Carter (2000);
    The Great Escape.


    Mr. Destiny is one of my all time favorite movies. Perhaps the only film with John Ritter that was any good and he was great in that movie.

    Review 1~

    Movie Title : Animal House


    Summary:
    Animal House is a movie about a Fraternity (Delta Tau Chi) and a Dean bent on it's destruction. Delta Tau Chi is one of five Frat Houses at Faber University and it's known only for it's disregard of the rules, poor grades and parties.
    Dean Wormer is a old Cantankerous man who is bent on expelling every last member of Delta Tau Chi.

    Genre:
    Comedy / Raunchy Comedy

    What I liked:
    There are some great scenes in this movie!
    The one that I enjoyed the most was a scene where Dean Wormer calls Delta Tau Chi into a trial. The Dean basically tries to keep delta's leaders from talking but Otter gets up and gives a speech, where he concludes that by punishing them, they are bad-mouthing America!
    Another Great Scene takes place towards the end of the movie when they've all been expelled from school, when the Character Bluto gets up and gives a speech telling them that this could be the greatest night of their lives, and they determine a plot to get revenge on the Dean for kicking them out of school.

    My Favorite line:
    "7 Years of College Down the drain"

    What I didn't like:
    I think this is definitely a movie that would not be made today. The depiction of women and black people would not be acceptable.
    For example a scene has a few of the frat members and dates that they tricked into going out with them at a "Black" bar and the Black guys steals their dates, they also call them negro's.
    I understand that times are different, but from a 2019 perspective it was a little uncomfortable.

    Would I watch again: Probably, it does seem like a movie that needs to be viewed multiple times to really get some of the jokes.

    My Completely Subjective and Nonsensical Rating
    :
    7.6/10


    I'm sure my review skills will get much better as I do this.

    When/if you get around to watching The Big Lebowski, hit me up so I can join you. It's one of those "guy movies" that every dude is supposed to watch, and it's been on my list for a while, but I've still yet to see it.
