Thanks man.
Naw not too good.
Headaches won't go away. They are treating me for meningitis too; i showed some signs of it. Probably viral meningitis if anything, going to keep doing tests.
And most likely I'm going to need to have my second brain surgery in the past 5 years. A cyst filled back up in the void it originally created, that's the reason I'm having seizures.
And you can't drive for six months after a seizure. And it's hard to own your own flooring business when you can't drive.
Sorry for adding depression to this thread
shite, iwy, I really hate to hear this. I don't know you personally in real life but I found this news agitating as though it was one of my real friends. I guess what I'm saying is.... I e-love you, man.

Seriously though, I really hope you bounce back from this with as much ease as is humanly possible. Be strong, man.
/hijack

I've narrowed my list to a final 30 so I'll probably have it up tomorrow. One movie that I'm particularly surprised hasn't gotten any mentions yet is Carlito's Way. Not sure if it's gonna be on mine but I thought that would be a popular one.

Iwy,

Sucks to hear this. Hope it all turns out alright. Jamohn hasn't even started to build his whirly bird bear copter yet.

ETA: Oh and Freaux I said in an earlier post I could give writing a shot if you need another.

Sorry I have been absent a bit. Just completed my move to Lafayette, mostly. How much shite can break during a move? I just found out.

And yet watch, when we get to the 80s that other DePalma/Pacino move will get all kinds of love.

It's on Netflix instant right now. Give it a look if you get a chance. It's a damn good flick. Pacino and Penn are damn impressive in it.

Might need its own -VS- thread but I'll say it right now: Carlito's Way >>> Scarface.

It's in my queue which will be pretty slow moving now that football season has started and I'm studying for the PE exam at the end of October.

Alright gentlemen, below is my entry into this edition of MWADS. My main criterion was simply how much I like the movies.

Top 20
1. Braveheart
2. The Last of the Mohicans
3. The Matrix
4. The Sandlot
5. Malcolm X
6. The Legend of Drunken Master
7. Goodfellas
8. Pulp Fiction
9. Tommyboy
10. The Lion King
11. Heat
12. Dumb and Dumber
13. The Sixth Sense
14. Billy Madison
15. Carlito's Way
16. Boondock Saints
17. New Jack City
18. Reservoir Dogs
19. Tombstone
20. Bugsy

Juuuuust missed (in no particular order): Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13, The Wedding Singer, Casino, American History X, Ace Ventura, The Hurricane, Shawshank Redemtion, The Fugitive, American Pie, Office Space, Boogie Nights, Angels in the Outfield, Happy Gilmore.

Dishonorable Mention:(Worst cinematic abomination of the decade) Rocky V.

Movies I considered including for humorous purposes: Street Fighter, Problem Child.

Note: I've never seen Schindler's List. It's in my queue and if I get it in in time, I have reason to believe it'll make my list. If I see it in time, I'll edit if necessary.

ETA: More edits may come as I waffle.
Edit 2: Bugsy in, Apollo out.

Going to need another 5 at least. Haven't tallied in the last couple of days, but I think we barely crack 20.
