Here is a behind the scenes documentary about the making of that movie.

An unknown bartender sells this story to Harvey Weinstein, who then agrees to let the bartender direct it with a 15 million dollar budget. Craziness ensues.

My lifelong 10/10 grade remains a tie between The Godfather and Citizen Kane. My personal grading system ranks how I see movies as they compare with them (the top of my scale) and the absolute worst movies (0/0 grade) I have ever seen, which were Bolero--which had only ONE redeeming quality -- and The Kindred.

Nice choice.

Not sure why you left out the original. It was an all time classic. Rocky II wasn’t very good in my opinion. Rocky lost its luster after the first one. The sequels were predictable.

That's right ....... like the movies you want to like and do not worry about people who criticize you.

Great to good.

My memory is not that great so there will be some I will leave out (old age, just so much room up inside the cranium).

My measuring stick is do I want to watch it over and over, have I watched it more than once, or it was good but I won't probably watch it again.

More than once and will watch it again (Great):
- Outlaw Josey Wales
- Gran Torino
- Unforgiven
- Dances With Wolves
- Lone Survivor
- American Sniper
- Friday Night Lights (Texas HS football, Permian is Tx HS legend -drama)
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Remember the Titans
- Book of Eli
- Man on Fire
- Saving Private Ryan
- Courageous
- Gladiator
- Hunt for Red October
(I am sure there are more)
(The "Good Movie" list is too long)

My favorite actors are Denzel Washington and Clint Eastwood.
Great/Good movies must elicit gut emotion or have humor without comedy, and a strong ending.
