Ode to my 5 favorite movies

It's been a long week, and I feel like I look pretty much like Jack Nicholson looks in the attached picture. But it's Friday! So we've all got that going for us, right?
I've been doing lots of talking, typing, blah-blah-blahing all week on here. Just spouting lots of words from my word-hole (or types from my type-hole???), so what I would rather do is include scenes from my 5 favorite movies instead. It's Favorite Movie Friday! FMF! Oh see, there I go with words and types again...shit... Let's just count down my favorite movies, shall we??



5. The Shining - Jack Nicholson at his very best...gotta love the guy...watch Jack try to peacefully negotiate the relinquishing of Wendy's bat...hahahaha...



4. Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad - Leslie Nielsen, another of my very favorites...possibly the most underappreciated master of comedy in my opinion. This scene is a work of comedic art!


3. Taxi Driver - Robert DeNiro, my favorite actor of all time. If you aren't even vaguely familiar with this scene, then you've probably been under a rock for years...come out from under your rock!!!


2. The Jerk - This isn't neccessarily my favorite scene of the movie, but it is certainly the most well known...hilarious! Surprisingly, it's not easy to find clips from The Jerk on YouTube!


1. Kill Bill vols 1 & 2 - OK, I'm cheating, because I have lumped both volumes of this movie into one, and this is my favorite scene from both movies, and possibly my favorite movie scene of all time...I get chills EVERY time I watch it...just plain awesome... (for me, the scene really starts at 0:25)

And there you have it, people...no five songs of the day today since I gave you 5 movie clips instead! Have a great weekend!

I can never pick a top five of anything, except maybe of the moment because five minutes later I'd probably change my mind. Especially with music.

And the way I see it, you're not really cheating with #1, because you can't have one without the other. They had to divy up the time so as to keep from making a 4+ hour movie

Rebel Mel said...

I totally rented Naked Gun last week. You forgot to add The Gods Must Be Crazy. Ugh.

Organic Meatbag said...

Dizzblnd - Thank you! And a super happy weekend to you too!

MJ - Ahhh, see, that's how I look at it too with Kill Bill...it really was meant to be one complete film! Thank you for supporting me...hahaha!

Mel - Hehehe, awesome on the rental... and here's hoping maybe one day I will happen upon a little Bushman with a Coke bottle!

Kristina P. said...

The Shining, and Kill Bill were on TV recently. Those are the only ones I've seen. They are awesome.

Organic Meatbag said...

3699 - I love The Jerk too...that is one movie that I know my brother and I can recite line for line to each other...hahaha!

Kristina - SERIOUSLY?! You've never seen The Jerk? Well, I can't really talk...I've never seen Miracle on 34th Street or Gone With The Wind... hahaha!

Badass Geek said...

Kill Bill is just... epic.

Love it. It never gets old.

Swirl Girl said...

I don't need anything...I don't need anything but this thermos. I don't need anything but this thermos and this lamp...and...

one of the most oft quoted films in this house!!

Dezzy Lou Where Are You said...

The Jerk- hands down most hilarious Steve Martin movie EVER.

Organic Meatbag said...

Bad Ass Geek - Couldn't agree more, my friend!

Swirl Girl - Then I would feel welcome around you and yours! And I would probably hang out and eat potato chips until you told me I had to go...

Dezzy - Yes, absolutely is! It is timeless...

Respect your DIVAS! said...

those are all sweeeeet!...have a great weekend man!

Organic Meatbag said...

RYD - Thanks you, my friend! You also have a glooooorious weekend!

Courtney said...

I'm a loser - have never seen any of these movies.... {crowd gasps}

Have a great weekend.

Ass Sweat Out!!!

Organic Meatbag said...

Courtney - Wha,....whaaaaaaat? Have you ever seen the sun shine? Or licked the morning dew off of a pine cone??!! Or paid a street performer $5 to let you use a plunger on his/her ass???!

Critty Critty Bang Bang said...

I love parodies of the afore mentioned movies, my favorite being The Simpson's version of the "Shinning".
It's comedic gold when Homer is talking to Marge and says...

Homer-"No T.V., no beer make Homer, something something..."

Marge-"Go Crazy?"

Homer-"Don't mind if I do!!"

You know a movie is worthy if The Simpson's parody it. *=-)

Dutch donut girl said...

I Love you Robert Deniro!!! Call me. Oh no wait, you're married?! Grace, you lucky woman! Well I guess it's better this way, since your husband is older than my parents.

Hee hee, wordhole :)
Have a nice weekend!

Organic Meatbag said...

CCBB - And how about Moe doing the DeNiro Taxi Driver scene in his mirror? That's was in the episode where Bart was named Mr. Burns' heir...hahaha!

DDG - All you have to do is tempt DeNiro with donuts...he might give in...hahaha!

Lana said...

i laughed at the pic on the side of your balls models shirt. that was a hilarious movie, highly underrated.

Jenn said...

Organic Meatbag said...

Lana- Yes, great movie! I'm working on my "Magnum" look now...hahaha!

Scarlet said...

Classics. I love them all...and I would've included "Chasing Amy" just for fun.

Btw, thank you for giving me that visual of Jack Nicholson right before bed.

Sweet dreams to you, too! ;)

Jewels said...

I watched Kill Bill (both) while I got tattooed!! Good choice!

Organic Meatbag said...

Scarlet - Thank you and hope you didn't suffer insomnia...haha!

Jewels - If I ever get a tat, I will do the same...haha!

mylittlebecky said...

aw, man! ccbb beat me to it but the shinning always reminds me of the simpsons when willy says, "use that shin of yours." hilarious.

also, type-hole? sounds painful.

Anna G said...

I totally agree with your pick for number one. At firstI really couldn't watch that scene but now it's one of my favorites.

Brutalism said...

The Jerk is the best movie of all time. Nice pick, Organic Meatbag.

Organic Meatbag said...

MyLittleBecky - The worst is when your type-hole gets infected! Yikes!

Anna G - Yes, such a great job by Jack to be meancing, and Shelly Duvall was excellent too!

Brutalism - Why thank you! And thanks for visiting my craptastic universe here!
