  1. I saw 20 including top 13. 10 and favorite back to the future. 10 not favorite one flew over the cuckoos nest. 9s: who framed roger rabbit, adventures of buckaroo bonzai. hidden gems: eight men out, goin south, the adventures of buckaroo bonzai, Anastasia. thanks Cogerson.

    1. Hey bob cox…glad you found your requested page. Interesting that you rated The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai so high…..that movie was the topic of discussion at work the other day. I have seen that one….but never understood why so many people enjoyed the movie. I guess I need to watch it again. Good stuff as always.

  2. Marty McFly: “Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don’t have enough road to get up to 88.”
    Dr. Emmett Brown: “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.”

    Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown has to be one of cinema’s best known mad scientists, though he wasn’t really mad, just eccentric.

    I’ve seen 23 of the 81 films on the chart, less than I thought. Favorites include- the Back to the Future trilogy, Roger Rabbit, Piranha 3D, Addams Family 1-2, Sin City 2, Star Trek III, Buckaroo Banzai, The Dream Team and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

    I haven’t seen Eight Men Out or Goin’ South.

    Looking at the adjusted grosses Cuckoo’s Nest was nearly as successful as Back to the Future, Michael Douglas was a producer, he must have made his first million from that movie.

    Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!

    1. Hey Steve….classic quote from Back To The Future. I agree Doc Brown is one of cinema’s best known mad scientist. Tally count…39 for me…23 for you. I have seen all of your favorites. Back To The Future 1, Roger Rabbit, both Addams Family movies, Star Trek 3 (this is Lloyd’s favorite of his movies) and One Flew Over Cuckoo’s Nest would be amongst my favorites as well. I really enjoyed Eight Men Out and Goin’ South. I would say you would enjoy Goin’ South more…as Eight Men Out is a baseball movie about a scandal that happened over 100 years ago. Cuckoo’s Nest helped Douglas break the bank and pick an Oscar for his efforts. That is one of the highest rated movies in our entire databse. Good stuff as always.
