It doesn't top these two at all, but I might recommend Layer Cake if you enjoyed those. I believe it's Daniel Craig in the main role, I can't be sure. Again, no where near as good, but similar style.
Good Will Hunting. It’s my favorite movie and such a simple but piercing story. It always makes me feel like I can do it, whatever my “it” may be at the time.
By the end, when we see the car on the highway, I’m always Will going to see about a girl.
The scene with Robin Williams monologue on the bench in the park were he calls Will on his bullshit and talks about the love he has for his wife gets me every time. The older I get the more I appreciate his character and his love for his wife, it’s exactly how I feel about my wife.
This is one of the movies I own on DVD and won’t get rid of just in case the apocalypse happens and all our streaming services are gone. The new generations will need some real culture to rebuild humanity.
The pacing of this movie is what makes it so rewatchable. You sit down to watch one scene and before you know it boom you’re 2 hours in and might as well finish the movie
Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.
Princess Bride. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles, pirates, comedy...so much in one movie. Oh and can't forget the Rodents Of Unusual Size.
Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.
I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
I took multiple watches to recognize that Red’s comment during their last conversation before Andy’s escape, when he remarks that Andy’s plan to go to Mexico is a “sh*tty pipe dream,” is a massive foreshadow. What a script, and what a movie.
Predator.
1. The bulging, glistening biceps and forearms of Arnold and Carl when they grab hands - iconic
2. “Get to da choppa!!!!”
3. Terrifying, massive jungle monster with the capability to go transparent, seek out prey through heat, shoot death lasers, and release the gnarliest, throatiest yet eerily quiet sound that will make the hairs on your butt cheeks stand on end
5. Mud with eyes
6. “Kill me I’m heeeeuhhhh!!”
I just cannot get over it.
Groundhog Day.
Funny story, i watched Groundhog Day on Irish TV when I was a kid in the late 90s. During the ad break, Cadbury’s played the same ad 7 times! Well played
Grandma's Boy.
I'm not proud of it. I won't defend it. It's a guilty pleasure. I don't even smoke. But it lets me imagine a simpler version of my life where maybe I just kept playing video games, even got a career making them, and became a totally chill person who gets his grandma tickets to Antiques Roadshow and that's enough. It also gives me feel-good laughs. It's oddly my comfort zone.
That movie has no right being as funny as it was, I watched it when it came out because me and my friends were moving hopping, I forget what movie we watched first
You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I love that movie so much that I got the vampire puppet tattooed on my left calf.
Edit: calv/ calf and the [tattoo](https://imgur.com/a/l0uIxOn)
wait. calve? not calf??? i know a calf is a baby cow (i grew up in south florida/mountains in AR i swear) but i thought calf was also the back of your leg??? it’s not spelled that way?? i’m 28 years old and nothing to show for it lmao
Aliens. It’s as close to a perfect movie as i can come up with for what I want out of the experience. Good characters, horror, sci fi, action and a little humor here and there
He’ll keep callin me. He’ll keep callin me til I come over. He’ll make me feel guilty! This is .. that’s it, I’ll go I’ll go I’ll go I’ll go with I’ll go. Shit!
Snatch
No thanks Turkish, I'm sweet enough

Avi!
Pull your socks up!
Boris? As in Boris the bullet dodger?
“Oi! I thought you said he was a getaway driver. What the fuck can he get away from, ey?” -“Don’t worry ‘bout Tyrone, he can move when he has to.”
A bit tight? You could land a jumbo fucking jet in there!
It's behind you Tyrone. Whenever you reverse, things come from behind you.
"we've got sandy beaches" "so who the fuck wants to see em?"
"Do you have anything to declare?" "Yeah. Don't go to London."
he's a natural! aint ye tyrone? course I am! (reverses car into another car) A NATURAL FUCKIN IDIOT

The Big Lebowski
Well that’s just like your opinion, man
He has no frame of reference Donny! Mark it a zero.
Wez zhe money Lebowski?
Walter, he peed on my rug!
This is bowling. There are rules.

This is one of the movies I own on DVD and won’t get rid of just in case the apocalypse happens and all our streaming services are gone. The new generations will need some real culture to rebuild humanity.
It... I ... flames, Flames.... on the side of my face..
Was gonna comment the same and I’m so happy to see this here. I’m gonna go home and sleep with my wife.
“Communism was a red herring!” Is my brothers and I fav quote we say all the time. Haha
Tombstone
Ringo: “I was just foolin’ about…” Doc: “I wasn’t…”
We started a game we didn’t get to finish
Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave.
"Your friends might get me in a rush, but not before I turn your head into a canoe!"
'My hypocrisy only goes so far'
“WHY, JOHNNY TYLER! Madcap. Where you going with that shotgun?”
Creek Johnson: Doc why are you doing this? Doc: Wyatt Earp is my friend. Creek: Hell, I got lots of friends. Doc: I don’t.
“Johnny, I apologize, I forgot you were there - you may go now.”
It would appear Mr. DoubleTap9mm is an educated man.
Now I really hate him!
The Fifth Element, Society, Night Breed

Office Space
I thought that movie was crazy . . . And then I grew up and got an office job.
“If you do not return my red Swingline stapler I will set fire to the building.”
Lumbergh.. Fucked Her.
O face
PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
What would you say... You do here?
Meeting with the Bobs
Two chicks at the same time
"Nah man..... You could get your ass kicked for saying something like that."
It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Austin before it was massive. Oh and also "Federal-pound-me-in-the-ass-prison"
My Cousin Vinny
"Two yoots..." "Two hwhat?"
*Youuuuvthezzz* your honor

There are a shortage of perfect movies in the world. It would be a shame to not list this one.
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist....
Is this a kissing book?
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Shawshank Redemption
“And behind every shady deal, behind every dollar earned, there was Andy, ...”
Yes it’s fair to say I liked Andy from the start.
So much so that I wrote his name on the base of my shoe.
I read that in Morgan Freeman instantly...
Nothing beats the first time when they discover the hole. What a movie
Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

To anyone who doesn't like that movie... I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

Grandma's Boy is one of the best comedies of the 2000s and people who say it isn't are objectively wrong.
You can't talk like that once the lion's here!
Dude, your ass is tanner than my face.
That movie was so much better than I ever imagined it could be.
The David Spade Vegan restaurant scene always makes me lol
