Hucklebug, Episode 166: RIP Edward Woodward, Ken Ober and David Lloyd, Happy 50th Anniversary to the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, shout-outs, movies (Bet: Chop Shop; Stennie: The Best Years of Our Lives), lowlights & highlights, fuck-offs and you-rules, Top Ten Movies 1990-1999.
Music: “The Hucklebuck,” performed by Otis Redding, Lee Rocker, and Frank Sinatra.
The Best Years Of Our Lives is probably among my top ten movies and my traditional Veterans Day viewing. The scene where Myrna Loy realizes that Fredric March is home just slays me every time.
Myrna Loy & Teresa Wright: hottest mother/daughter combo ever?
My top ten movies of the 90s. I went with great movies I’ll always enjoy watching, rather than try to think of what was the best or best-made:
1 Pulp Fiction
2 That Thing You Do!
3 Hard Boiled
4 Goodfellas
5 Chungking Express
6 Before Sunrise
7 Reservoir Dogs
8 The Big Lebowski
9 Schindler’s List
10 Raise The Red Lantern
Honorable mentions:
Dazed And Confused
The Commitments
Glengarry Glen Ross
Blue
Eat Drink Man Woman
Red
Fireworks
I’m probably missing a lot of obvious titles, but that’s the list for today.
And as great as Rudy is, I cannot in good conscience include it because it commits the unforgiveable sin of making me root for Notre Dame.
I was wondering what everyone thought of this list for top 90’s movies:
Miller’s Crossing
Akira
The Two Jakes
Barton Fink
Pulp Fiction
Ed Wood
Toy Story
Leaving Los Vegas
Jade
Mulholland Falls
L.A. Confidential
Gattaca
Ronin
The Big Lebowski
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Pushing Tin
This isn’t my top list although there is some overlap. I think you could make a case for each of these movies in their respective genres. Any comments? What do you think?
Speaking of Barney Miller, what you get when Abe Vagoda Eric Estrada co star in a new comedy series?
