WS Fave Five Series~! - Movies of 1997

[Marty McFourth]

When I saw it was released in 97, I had to include it... even if that meant to drop a couple of pretty amazing films (most of them got some love though, so not too sad about those). Chris Farley deserves to be in as many of these lists as possible.

I always liked the palm tree scene. I should rewatch it soon. I just realised I'll be thinking of Jungle Boy now as well, haha.

Nice. So does this work with a reveal per day? I’m hella pumped for the rest. Was a most excellent year for film

Irregular updates, pretty much. I usually take my time with it.

It's time for the next batch of Movies. This time we have the six 20-Pointers...

T21.
20 Points

Starship Troopers

Tomorrow Never Dies
(#4 Royal Reaper)

Con Air
(#4 RDK)

Children of Heaven
(#4 Chris)

Event Horizon

Spice World

Some good stuff in this batch. Never would have expected Children of Heaven make an appearance and Con Air... well what's a movie countdown without Nicholas Cage showing up, right?

Also... Damn HoHo

HoHo with the Spice World, I respect it.

That Con Air mention popped me. I wanted to include it in my list, but it just didn't make the cut. One of my favourite action movies. I love the cheese.

Almost... this was almost a novum for me since I started running these over at WC. I can't remember if there was ever a countdown without something hitting exactly 30 points... but I definitely know there was never a countdown where all 40-Pointers were single named entrees. Guess @Lethal Banks and myself ruined that with our Men in Black shouts...

T16.
40 Points

Men in Black
(#4 Lethal Banks ; #4 Heel Looch)

Perfect Blue
(#2 Royal Reaper)

The Game
(#2 The Fourth Wall)

The Rainmaker
(#2 Lethal Banks)

Good Burger
(#2 HoHo Kimura)

​

Interesting batch. Never seen Perfect Blue, but since it's a shout by @Royal Reaper... I probably should. The movie also looks quite good. Also seeing The Game and The Rainmaker in the same group makes me happy.

Oh yea... I wasn't sure, so I want to give y'all the chance to comment on it: Should I tag the people, whose entrees show up?

Perfect Blue's a psychological horror movie from Satoshi Kon (RIP). He's also famous for the Christmas anime Tokyo Godfathers (which honestly has one of the most touching and poignant depictions of a transgender woman in all media, especially for 2003).

Rainmaker is an amazing film with so much quality story. I got to study it for my year 12 HSC English unit and fell in love with the material. Naturally scored an A for that unit.

Yeah Looch I like being tagged so I can see how my votes performed. SOme absolute bangers and we ain't even top 10

Tokyo Godfathers is such a damn good movie. And I am glad, that recently it has started to get the praise it deserves, and is one of my personal favorite movies of all time.

Haven't seen TG so I'll check it out. Perfect blue is a great movie I had forgotten about, good shout.
