You're all on your own with this one, Mr. List!

Have I even seen enough movies to populate half a list? I'm heavily leaning towards "Nah."

 

[TD]

Now this is an impossible list.
Especially because I don't have "typical" taste.

 

[Tubby23]

I'm working on mine now

[VashTheStampede]

So many of your movies were runners-up for me.

Shawshank, Inception, Wolf of Wall Street jump out at me.

We have very similar tastes!

 

[Tubby23]

Definitely a lot of crossover happening

 

[TD]

I'll give this a try later tonight.

Full disclosure - it will not be 100% accurate and it'll probably be safer to say one of my favourites from that year.

Kingsman, I love those movies!

 

[TD]

Kingsman, I love those movies!

The first was by far my favourite. I liked the second one too.

The third one - King's Man? Wasn't really a fan.

 

[Tubby23]

I've enjoyed them all, I agree that the first was the best but I've liked the second and third as well.

It's often the case isn't it, the first movie is the best movie.
