    How Many Of The Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 "New York" Movies Have You Experienced ?

    08-03-2012 11:06 PM #1
    I have seen a total of 27 of them. I have seen bits and pieces of a few more, however I am counting from beginning to end. Of course I am, as many of you will be, familiar with many more, but that being just through exposure and not actually viewing them.

    Let me put this in context, which I find to make things a little bit more interesting, my age and viewing history. I am 43, with a long history of TV shows, movies of all kinds, etc. If I find it interesting, or sometimes not, I will watch it. I initially thought I would have seen a few more of the mentioned movies. And, some I thought would appear did not. So, my total is 27. I know some of you will far exceed that.


    Oh yeah, list your your favorites(s). Mine are Escape From New York and Ghostbusters.

    Here is the link:

    I don't think I've even seen 20 of them. Ghostbusters and Escape From New York are definitely the best that I've seen.

    42/100 for me, boosted by the fact I've seen a lot of Woody Allen films.
    A hundred dollars on your hair, fifty on your nails, fifty on make-up, two hundred dollars for an outfit. You ladies spend four hundred dollars to bring home a thug that ain't worth ten cents!

    I've only seen 12 of them. Escape from New York beat Godfather? Seriously? It's a good movie but not that good.

    RT's list is worthless to me when Toy Story and Toy Story 2 take up two of the Top Five spots.

    Almost every Woody Allen's movie is based around New York and most of them are pretty damn good!

    I am sorry, but "Escape From New York" is a terrible film.

    Overall, that list if a fantastic guide for anyone who is a big fan of NY.

    It's bad, but it's an entertaining bad film. Kurt Russell's two hour impersonation of Clint Eastwood, Isaac Hayes as the Duke, and the recurring "I know you - I heard you were dead" line - they're gold.
    A hundred dollars on your hair, fifty on your nails, fifty on make-up, two hundred dollars for an outfit. You ladies spend four hundred dollars to bring home a thug that ain't worth ten cents!

    I've seen 47 of the 100 in the first list in this thread. I realized that there's so many more from that list that I want to see!
