Title: Your Top 5 Of Anything... anything at all... ;o)
Post by: Master Ray on March 27, 2018, 10:04:49 PM
Time for a fun thread, I think.

Your top 5 of anything, the more random and silly, the better.  Or not, if you have something deep and meaningful to say!  Whatever,  ;)  Examples...

Top 5 UK pies

Chicken and Mushroom
Steak and Ale (IF there's a decent cut of steak in it...)
Cottage Pie
Cheese And Onion
Pork Pie

Top 5 UK seaside towns

Barmouth
Llandudno
Tenby
Brighton
Hastings

Top 5 most goddamn annoying things that just piss me off so many bloody times...

Trying to call any call centre that's connected with the UK government...
Cling film
Coat hangers, tangled in your wardrobe...
Windows f**king updates!!!!
People who talk loudly at gigs! (OK, I've brought that one up before...)

So, that was a bit random... but what random Top 5's do you have?  The dafter the better!   ;)

Top 5 annoying cliches from action movies...

It doesn't matter what you jump off or how far you fall, even if its hundreds of feet down, you'll be OK if you land in some water.  No matter how shallow it is.

A massive explosion just went off just behind you?  No worries, you'll easily be able to outrun both the shockwave and the subsequent fireball!

Helicopters seem to be rather quiet.  Because they just seem to pop out from nowhere (especially if they're loaded with heavy guns) when you're on the run from the bad guys and think that you might have gotten away.

A skinny girl can easily beat the living crap out a bloke weighing two or three times her weight with a few well-aimed punches and a few fancy moves that look like something she learned in ballet class.

And (my favourite)... you got shot?  No worries!  A bit of minor bleeding, maybe a limp or the odd clutching of your upper arm and five minutes later in the movie, you'll have completely forgotten about it...

 :)

I will have to respectfully disagree. Connery's death scene in "the man who would be king" is given such power by by Michael Caine continuing to tearfully sing the song as Connery falls. The best death scene in "Wild geese" is given by the superb performance of Jack Watson, when only in the moment of death is he prepared to drop military protocol and call his officer Richard Burton by his first name as he screams "ALLLLLEN !!!".

Two of my favourite British films, the likes of which we will  never see again.

Five best museums - in  no particular order.

The Polish Army museum - Warsaw. A definitive example of how to display artifacts. Taking the visitor  around in chronological order with the history of the items on display. Everything clearly spaced out and easy to study. Even in the grounds of the museum, a unique display of tanks, artillery, and battle damaged pieces that would be the envy of any similar display.

The Residence Palace - Munich. Mind blowing artifacts from Europe's Royal past. A vast Palace the scale of which was a very pleasant surprise. Well worth a visit and would love to go again.

The Met- New York. - In line with the American ethos, big is best. A vast museum covering so many different areas the scale of which cannot fail to impress. The only museum I have visited where I did not have time to see all the I wanted.

The Black Country Living Museum - Dudley. A credit to the nation. With the U.K. boasting so many Palaces, Stately homes, Cathedrals, the envy of the World, it is nice to see such a well structured museum relating to the lives of average people. Very educational and entertaining. My only gripe, you do feel a sense of the artificial as you are aware buildings that are of historic importance have been up-rooted and re-built there, and the history of the place occurred elsewhere.   But, still much better than the building being lost.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum - The roll model in conservation.  Although alterations have had to be made to Auschwitz-1 to allow visitors and exhibits, the main area of Birkenau preserved with integrity. A problem for future generations as the remaining buildings were hastily thrown up by Russian P.O.W. inmates and will not last for ever unless restored in some way. External bracing now used on some buildings to stop them falling down.

Top five ways to spend a bank holiday monday:

1 - Wake up at six am to yet more bloody snow;
2 - Accidentally buy another fishing rod;
3 - Decide that the fishing rod had better be given to the better half, as I did promise her one some time ago;
4 - Realise that the melt-water from aforementioned snow was flooding down the lane, so go and dig out 100 yards of drainage ditch, unblock a drain under the road, lift the manhole cover and scoop shedloads of rotting leaves and mud out of the hole before unblocking the pipes which were full of cack;
5 - Moan about it all on the internet.

1. The best death scene in "Wild geese" is given by the superb performance of Jack Watson, when only in the moment of death is he prepared to drop military protocol and call his officer Richard Burton by his first name as he screams "ALLLLLEN !!!".

2. Two of my favourite British films,
.
.
1. Bingo! You got it right. Jack Watson was the heart and soul of that film. How anybody can watch THE WILD GEESE and think the Harris death scene is better than Mr. Watson's is beyond me or anybody else who has seen that movie.

(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sAGi8U8iRt0/hqdefault.jpg)


2. THE WILD GEESE is one of your favorite films???? Sure it's a fun film to watch with some memorable moments; but it is far from a great film. Flaws everywhere (I still have no idea why they couldn't move the convoy twenty yards up from the flaming bridge and cross there), a horrid stereotypical portrayal of a homosexual, and some really terrible acting (the kid who played Harris's son should have won a special Oscar for giving the worst performance in film history).

Yes its one of my favourite films, first saw it when I was around 12-13 and have been fond of it ever since. If you are suggesting it should not be because of flaws that can be found then I will have to disagree. I could pick out numerous errors based on the equipment, uniforms, weapons, insignia, but what would be the point. It is not a documentary or re-enactment. It is a fantasy action adventure film. It has nothing to prove. It was made to entertain and entertain it did. I agree with your comment on the poor image of the character Witty played by the wonderful Kenneth Griffith, but you have to bare in mind the film is now 40 years old and right or wrong things were viewed differently back then.

To add, if Master Ray has the opinion that the death scene of Richard Harris is the best in the film then how can that be wrong ? His "opinion" is exactly that and therefore cannot be wrong.  To state another scene from the film is better as a fact - when it happens to be your opinion is just pure arrogance. I have often thought looking at your past postings that you rub people up the wrong way by stating your opinion is the indisputable fact of the matter and any alternate opinion is just wrong.

You need to brush up on your communication skills. Of coarse, thats just my opinion Space  :)

Dude, that movie could have been made 400 years ago and the distasteful prissy Nancy-Boy portrayal of Witty would still have been offensive.

Opinions can be wrong. If it is his opinion that 2 + 2 = 5, would you still say "his opinion is exactly that and therefore cannot be wrong"?

And my opinions actually are indisputable facts. I do not spout nonsense. I do my homework and fully research things before I post them. My opinions are as solid in fact as is 2 + 2 = 4.

Interesting one. Ive met several real life Wittys. I never considered them offensive (I KNOW thats what neither of you meant) but I didnt find him offensive either. Just a role in a film. I actually like the contrast between a supposedly feminine man, actually being an accepted part of a gang of mercenaries.

Point is this. OK, that film was made 40 years ago. How many homosexuals were portrayed in films at that time? A handful. So here is a rare example of a homosexual male in a film...and they make him out to be the lisping Nancy-Boy.

Question for you: why couldn't the macho-man Jack Watson character been the homosexual in the film? Or the Richard Burton character? Nah, they went for the effeminate Witty. And didn't he call the Simbas that were about to kill him "Lovelies"? My God, you were not offended by that? A homosexual greets other males - males who are about to kill him no less! - as "lovelies." Good God.

And I totally get that point. And that the 70's and 80's were a breakthrough for gay characters, albeit camp gay characters as the only representation in the UK. Cant speak for America. Funny enough black and Asian characters were rare. BUT they also made being gay on tv become part of the norm. Things then changed after that norm, after laws changed after fears changed.
No I wasnt offended. I dont ever feel the need to be offended on someone elses behalf. Its a film, its a character Ive met. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but then in another 40 years it will be as well. Times and attitudes evolve.

Little Britain. The only Gay in the Village is as camp as Witty. Is it offensive or a stereotype?

My top 5 death scenes in movies...

Wiliam Dafoe in 'Platoon'
Sean Connery in 'The Untouchables'
Sean Connery (again) in 'The Man Who Would Be King'
Alan Tudyk in 'Serenity'
Edward Woodward in 'The Wicker Man'

Aw, balls, I just realised I missed out one of my favourite death scenes, Richard Harris in 'The Wild Geese'...  ::)  I'll substitute the second Sean Connery one from that previous post...

 :)

I will have to respectfully disagree. Connery's death scene in "the man who would be king" is given such power by by Michael Caine continuing to tearfully sing the song as Connery falls. The best death scene in "Wild geese" is given by the superb performance of Jack Watson, when only in the moment of death is he prepared to drop military protocol and call his officer Richard Burton by his first name as he screams "ALLLLLEN !!!".

Two of my favourite British films, the likes of which we will  never see again.

Fair enough!  We both love The Wild Geese! 

It was a tough one to drop TMWWBK as opposed to TU... I just love the cutting back and forth from Mr Connery getting plugged to the scene at the opera with Capone where he engrossed in the song, looks annoyed then starts smiling... and then the moment 'what... are you going... to DO!' and then pops his clogs.

As to Mr Watsons death, you're right, it was a proper shocker.  But one of the saddest moments was poor old Jock (loved his scene where he was interviewed for the mission)... dies off-camera and just gets chucked out of the plane... 'Geraro... get his legs...' 

I stand by my comment about it being a personal favourite (despite other detractors...)   ;)

.

You honestly don't see that it is both? It was very offensive and it sure went for the bigoted stereotype of a homosexual. As I asked earlier, why couldn't the macho Richard Burton be the homosexual character? Nah, that would be no good. Instead the filmmakers decided let's get a homosexual in this film and make him prance about calling all the other men "lovelies." Offensive and a horrid stereotype.

By the way, you mention TV. We had an historic breakthrough in our television here in the States just two weeks ago. Homosexuals have been stars of our TV series now and then...but only in comedies and their homosexual nature was always a part of the story (part of the jokes, really). But two weeks ago a dramatic TV series began where the main character is a homosexual (married to a man) and his homosexuality has nothing to do with the story. He's just a guy who happens to be married to a man. (Oddly (stereotypically) enough they did make the character a Brit. Us Americans are not gay, but the British are. That's how our TV productions work around here.)

It is Alan Cumming as our first gay main character in a TV drama. A crime show called "Instinct."

Top five ways to spend a bank holiday monday:

1 - Wake up at six am to yet more bloody snow;
2 - Accidentally buy another fishing rod;
3 - Decide that the fishing rod had better be given to the better half, as I did promise her one some time ago;
4 - Realise that the melt-water from aforementioned snow was flooding down the lane, so go and dig out 100 yards of drainage ditch, unblock a drain under the road, lift the manhole cover and scoop shedloads of rotting leaves and mud out of the hole before unblocking the pipes which were full of cack;
5 - Moan about it all on the internet.

Haha!

My Bank Holiday Monday was this...

1 - Woke up just after 1pm after drinking rather a lot last night.

2 - Looked at the clock, turned over and went back to sleep for another hour.

3 - Got up, made cheese on toast with sausages and baked beans, scoffed it whilst watching a new episode of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'.

4 - Nodded off again.

5 - Wide awake and checking out what my friends are up to online!

That's a fine Bank Holiday IMO...   :D

It was also an openly gay man playing a bigoted stereotype. Maybe he hates gay men or something!! There are camp gay men as there are not camp gay men. I see no point in carrying this on. I wont change your mind as you wont change mine. I do agree that their has to be an equal representation of both.

Show me where insects are destroying civilisation and have no purpose at all

 No doubt you'll correct me IF I happen to be wrong but I'm sure insects apart from bees aslo help with pollinations, some plants can ONLY be pollinated by one certain type of insect

They also are an important part in the food chain for other animals

They also help in the environment by decomposing organic matter, without insects we would be over run with waste material

Also as the body of an insect is largely composed of nitrogen this then returns to the soil

So are insects really destroying civilisation, I doubt it very much

Top 5 half hour episodes of UK TV comedy...

The Young Ones - 'Bambi'

I can't believe that somebody who thinks WHIPLASH is a better film than DOWNFALL actually got the best half hour of UK TV comedy correct.

To be honest, you must have read somewhere that the "Bambi" episode of "The Young Ones" was great. No way did you come up with that yourself. Come on, come clean. You Googled it, right?

Oh, Space, Space, my dear witless chum... where do I start?

You keep on needling me.  Maybe you think I'm humbled by that moment a little while ago when I apologised for something I misunderstood on one of your posts.  Not at all, old son.  I still remember the PM's you sent me.  Showed your true character.  Something I've never forgotten and never will, so get that concept out of your head.  Or is was just the usual Space 'fun'?

I don't want to start a big Forum argument that means that Viv has to get involved, like we're naughty kids who need to be sent to detention, like the bloody Breakfast Club or something.  That guys got better things to do.  I remember how unpleasant that whole thing got, mainly (but not always, I admit) thanks to your fine self.

For the record, I never said that Whiplash was better than Downfall and I didn't get that 'Young Ones' episode off the internet, it's a cherished memory of when I truly appreciated what new and fresh UK comedy could do.  Understand that?

Space, you're the internet equivalent of a guy who walks into a room, farts loudly, wafts it around and walks out with a big smirk on his face.  And I will never have the slightest trace of respect for you.

Sorry, Viv.  Fell for the trolling, didn't I?   :-[

Top Five Qualities Of Whirlwind

1. he is open-minded - Means ****-all in the grand scheme of things, a man who molests badgers
2. he has an IQ of 148 (genius level is rated at 140)
3. he is funny
4. he knows DOWNFALL is a better film than WHIPLASH
5. he is better than Space

1. he is open-minded - Means ****-all in the grand scheme of things, a man who molests badgers and licks bicycle seats could regard himself in the same context... 'it's not considered normal?  Well, I'm open-minded'!
2. he has an IQ of 148 (genius level is rated at 140)  And we've got your word for that, I see nothing to indicate anything of the sort.  Did your parents have you tested as to your IQ?  Or sociopathy (which sounds more like you...)? 
3. he is funny  Dude, you're really not.  Most folks here would agree.
4. he knows DOWNFALL is a better film than WHIPLASH  Still banging on about that?  See a previous comment of mine...
5. he is better than Space  For fooks sake..  ::)

Let's put aside our internet personas that we all have here for a moment and discuss this as people.

You honestly don't believe that UNFORGIVEN and GRAN TORINO are among the greatest works in Clint's career??? I would also include MILLION DOLLAR BABY as another of his masterpieces, but (SPOILER) that film is far too downbeat to ever watch again, hence it could not be a Top 5 Clint film.

And DIRTY HARRY on your list of Top 5 Clint? Huh? DIRTY HARRY is more a seminal film in film history than it is a good film. I watch it because I can't believe a film with a main character who practices fascist policing struck such a positive nerve with our society. Dirty Harry Callahan a heroic cop? Man, that's like a loudmouth, racist, liar, sexual harasser, scum bag becoming, oh, President of the United States. You think that could ever happen?

Hard to pick a top 5 as all members, for however long they were there, have played a part in the growth of the band

Personally the line up they have now is the strongest they've been, both Marshall and more so Ceri have brought much more to the sound of the band

As I said this is MY view and I don't claim it be to be the ONLY AND CORRECT view

No argument, but what attracted me to NMA back in the beginning was the bass. An instrumentalist in a band can be the focal point. Example: One could say Morrissey is the face and voice of The Smiths, but what is the first attraction to The Smiths? Johnny Marr's guitar. Same with New Model Army. Sure Justin is the frontman, the voice, the songwriter...but it is the bass on those first records that made many pay attention to that band.

As for a band having three bass players? Heck, Ned's Atomic Dustbin weren't a bad band and they had two bass players. Maybe they would have been better with three.

Your follow up comment to your list is fair enough Space. I think most here started listening to the band first hearing the phenomenal sound of Morrow's bass. But a list of top 5 members with anyone other than JS at the top is a bit beyond credibility. I would very much doubt any band member past or present would put anyone other than JS at the top. The only likely other person to put someone other than JS at the top of the list would be  JS himself, as to me at least he seems to be a very humble chap unconcerned about such prestige.
   I would have to agree with Bunny. The current line-up is top 5 as at this time they are faultless as a live band and are recording some of the bands best work.  -- in my opinion.

Listing Morrow as number one is not beyond credibility if one considers their first few tracks and their first two albums the band's finest hour.

Peter Gabriel was not a member of Genesis for very long (and certainly not there when that band went supernova), but most people would list Gabriel as #1 on their list of top Genesis members. He was the main cog for their finest work. Same with Morrow.

I thought the late great Roger Moore was Caines best mate. ? Which leads me to the film Bullseye from 1990. Have you seen it ? A film that truly earns the term "so bad its good". Clearly just three film friends - Michael Winner, Caine and Moore making a film for the fun of it.

Terence Stamp and Michael Caine were best mates in the 60's and then fell out over sleeping arrangements after moving to a new flat, apparently.  According to MC's first autobiography, 'What's It All About', which is far better than his second, 'The Elephant To Hollywood'.

As far as 'Bullseye' goes... yes I saw it on VHS when it first came out and I've been trying to suppress the memory ever since.  I've seen many Michael Winner films and, the original Death Wish aside, the man couldn't direct a steady stream of piss, much less a film.   :)

I'm being slightly biased with the Conneely brothers as there were all memebrs of the team I managed when we came 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the British Chamionship in 2014

Stuart Day is about to start his 34th season racing and has won just about every title goin and has only missed 3 meetings in this time

Yes people may mock the idea of old Lambrettas and Vespas racing but they're surprisingly quick and above all it's great fun :)

Ours were geared for 115mph+ and these were only 210cc :) :)

Went into a greasy spoon once with a friend and he asked for poached eggs.  I laughed my butt off and when I was done, they offered to try to poach them in the microwave.  (I laughed some more).
Title: Re: Your Top 5 Of Anything... anything at all... ;o)
Post by: Master Ray on April 13, 2018, 06:55:21 PM


What's your favoured method of doing poached eggs, anyone?  Mine is to heat up a pan of water until it's just below boiling point.  Then crack the eggs directly (and gently) into the water, then leave them alone for two and a half to three minutes.  Scoop out, drain off the water and put directly onto toast.  Salt and pepper optional.

Should we start a separate 'what to do with eggs' thread?  I love eggs.   :)

... the Humty Dumpty version? .
Question:

I am going to offer up a question that none of you have ever contemplated. First time somebody asked me I just broke down and laughed. I was stumped and a bit ashamed that my 148 IQ had never thought of it. Ok, folks, here's the question:

Question:
What makes you think Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Got ya. Never thought about it, did ya?


Here's the full rhyme:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.


Exactly where is Humpty stated to be an egg?

Master Ray good on you for cooking poached eggs properly,me, i can only do them in the aluminium pan with plastic dishes....Not as good but better than nothing.
Title: Re: Your Top 5 Of Anything... anything at all... ;o)
Post by: lotus on April 13, 2018, 08:33:46 PM
Answer:
German Wikipedia:
Als Humpty-Dumpty-Argumente werden Behauptungen bezeichnet, die in einer Diskussion als gültig angeführt werden, ohne dass eine andere Begründung für sie angegeben wird als die Berufung auf faktische Macht, die es erlaubt, auf wirkliche Argumente zu verzichten, oder (2.) in denen Worte mit einer Bedeutung gebraucht werden, die von der allgemein akzeptierten Bedeutung in krasser Weise abweicht (vgl. Idiosynkrasie).

I think with your IQ, it`s easy for you to translate this.

So I have the right to state Humpty Dumpty is an egg.
Title: Re: Your Top 5 Of Anything... anything at all... ;o)
Post by: Whirlwind on April 13, 2018, 08:49:38 PM
My 148 IQ tells me that is a bunch of gibberish.

Humpty Dumpty is an English nursery rhyme. Any valid talk of it must be done in English.

Well - I'm no expert, but I was once told that just before dropping the eggs in you need to stir the water gently counter clockwise.  Not sure why stirring the water makes a difference and I'm 100% the counter clockwise bit is BS.

I admit that self-deprecating response was influenced by a boxer named Tex Cobb. A reporter said that Cobb is a fat, cocaine-snorting drunk. Cobb hilariously responded, "I'm not fat."

(And, yes, it is the Tex Cobb who went on to star in RAISING ARIZONA.)

Probably. He made a lot of movies. He actually was a pretty funny guy and not a bad boxer. But that "I'm not fat" response to being called a "fat, cocaine-snorting drunk" is really what makes him legendary. I've often used that style of response. It works well.

Well, firstly, there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure.  If you gives you pleasure, don't feel guilty about it!  (sidenote - be warned, this excuse may not stand up in court...   ;D)

But, I'll bite, here we go...

Any programme when Gordon Ramsey swears at people... a lot.

The Jeremy Kyle Show... when a smug utter c-word shouts at other utter c-words and you can't work out who is the bigger utter c-word of all...

Brookside, wherever you can find online.  The finest UK soap ever, bollocks to Coronation Street.   ;)

Anything with Piers Morgan.  Controversial, I know.  He's sometimes kind of a prick but I've always liked the guy, especially after his argument with that bloody idiot Alex Jones on gun control... he's also done a series of good and interesting interviews with interesting folks like John Lydon... written a couple of entertaining books as well where he puts down the whole celebrity culture..l.

Four In A Bed... fair enough, I'll give you that one.   ;D

Interesting.

I watch mostly sports and news and documentaries on TV, but one weekly show I never miss is "Ink Master." I don't like the silly arguing and drama crap.

Top 5 things on TV that proper freaked me out as a kid...

Everyone getting massacred in the last episode of Blakes 7.

Anthony Karamanopolis falling off the car park roof (Grange Hill).

'The House That Bled To Death' from Hammer House of Horror (UK TV show).  Can't believe my Mum let me stay up late to watch that one.

That audio tape of 'The Yorkshire Ripper' taunting the police (which later turned out to be a hoaxer).

Protect And Survive.  Fuckin' hell.

What's your favoured method of doing poached eggs, anyone?  Mine is to heat up a pan of water until it's just below boiling point.  Then crack the eggs directly (and gently) into the water, then leave them alone for two and a half to three minutes.  Scoop out, drain off the water and put directly onto toast.  Salt and pepper optional.

Should we start a separate 'what to do with eggs' thread?  I love eggs.   :)

This is how I do poached eggs

Heat the water until boiling then turn down to simmer on 5 or 6 ( Have induction hob so convert to your own)

Crack egg into a plastic ladle

I have in the meantime placed 2 slices of bread into the toaster (important)

I do not stir the water but leave as is and slowly pour the egg in off the ladle

I then start toasting the bread (medium brown)

Once the toast is done this is when I remove the pan from the heat

Butter the toast and then a generous coating of Marmite, remove eggs and place on toast, break the skin with a sharp knife and then a good dose of cracked black pepper on top

Perfection :)

My other half makes the best cheese sauce in the world, bar none.  Not even (and I'll probably go to hell for this) my Mum's comes close.  The secret, she maintains, is a teaspoon of Marmite in the sauce before it goes all over the cauliflower and broccoli.

I'll give you the first one as an easy one, just to ease you into this post...  :)  Also, it might be a bit spoiler-y...   ;D

1 - The chick was a dude.

2 - The hitman murdered his wife and son after, somewhat ignorantly, thinking it was a satanic cult hunchback...

3 -  Oh, bloody hell, I inadvertently shagged my daughter whilst on a crazed vengeance quest!

4 - I'm the bloke I've been looking for all along!

5 - It was Michael Caine!  In drag!  With a razor!

What films do you reckon they were from?

Master Ray is well behind the times (pun intended)

Nearly twenty years ago, in 1999 when THE SIXTH SENSE was released, the producers of that film sent a note to all critics begging them not to reveal the ending. A critic from The New York Times was a cheeky wise guy so what he did was he wrote a column, just listing famous endings from film history. He didn't give the film title, just the ending. My memory can recall some:

- the President nukes New York
- they both die in the end
- they all die in the end
- he is his father
- it's dead people
- he's always been on Earth

And he ended his column with this one:
- it's a sled, stupid!

Great column, the list was long and it was a great game to play with movie buffs.

Master Ray - When did you visit Nashville and what made you think it was so great?  I've lived here the past 20 yrs and can't figure out what people see in it.

Hey, mate!  Hope you're well.

If you lived in the shitty, dull northern UK town that I do, you could visit the Fifth Circle Of Hell and think 'well, this is quite a fun place...'   ;)

About seven years ago and I had a great time.  To be honest, I only visited because me and a couple of pals were visiting that part of the US and one of our number is a big fan of modern country music.  Personally, I grew up listening to 'old-style' country music, my parents were big fans, I wasn't terribly fond of that genre but what the hell, I'm always up for new experiences.  Three days, I really enjoyed them all.  Maybe it was the company I was with, maybe it was the state of mind I was in at the time (certainly better than where I am now), it was certainly due to some of the nicest folks I've ever met in the US... visited some live music clubs and was quite impressed with what I heard, drank my body weight in beer and laughed my arse off with great friends... it was just an enjoyable couple of days!

Bear in mind this is a 'personal favourite list', not 'definitive best' list.  I had a great time in Nashville and would like to go back one day. Other experiences may differ!  It's all about perspective.  I've met US folks who were visiting places in the UK and were having the time of their lives in places I would regard as nothing special.  Maybe if I'd spent longer there, I might have gotten bored with it.  Doesn't matter.  I love those memories.

So, yeah, I was a fan of Nashville for the brief time I was there.  Nice to know I've got an NMA buddy over there so I've got doubtlessly got somewhere to crash when I return.  In fact, what the heck, I've just booked my plane tickets!  I'll be over next Monday morning, that OK?  I expect you to pick me up from the airport...  ;)  ;D

These are my all-time favourite, TOP 5 songs (all sharing the exact same song title) "HOME".
Each one is from a totally different band / artist & is completely different from the next.
Love them to bits and for an array of different reasons. 
Song at #1 = most favourite one of ALL.

  1.  "Home"  -  Justin Sullivan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2NcHdbh49E)

  2.  "Home"  -  Foo Fighters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s85PpvzOpPM)

  3.  "Home"  -  Duncan Sheik (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlsMvxl21Jc)

  4.  "Home"  -  Sheryl Crow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3pYt_TDOQs)

  5.  "Home"  -  David Sylvian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzRNRjXS214)

Top 5 bands of whom you own the ENTIRE studio catalogue of albums... don't worry about obscurities, just the commercially released stuff... and let's not be doing something as easy as posting a band who only made one or two albums...

New Model Army (well, duh...  ;D )
Marillion
The Smiths
Manic Street Preachers
Lacuna Coil

The Definitive Top 5 bands of whom you own the ENTIRE studio catalogue of albums...

Prince -- the guy made 42 albums! I have them all and know every second of them all.
Beatles -- only 13 albums
New Model Army -- but I have never listened to "Winter" or "Between Wine And Blood." Saving them.
The Chameleons -- even though the post-breakup albums aren't very good
Pearl Jam -- always deliver a solid album

My Top 5 movie sequels that are somewhat disliked but what the heck, I like 'em...   ;)

Superman III

The Chronicles Of Riddick

The Two Jakes

Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps

Dumb And Dumber To

Opinions, you lovely lot...?

Title: Re: Your Top 5 Of Anything... anything at all... ;o)
Post by: cthulhu on January 07, 2019, 10:57:38 AM
I would agree, except The Two Jakes, which i don't know and The Chronicles of Riddick which i didn't like as much as Pitch Black.

So here:

My Top 5 Sequels which are actually better

- Star Wars - The Empire strikes back (this IS the best one followed by Rogue One :o )

- Evil Dead 2 (this movie has the best comic-timing ever and it sucks you right in and never stops)

- Star Trek - Into Darkness (better story, better drama and a chilling benedict cucumber;-))

- Aliens (just kidding, remove this from the list.)

- Indiana Jones - The Temple of Doom

So maybe a little cheat here, if you find it;-)

The Definitive Top 5 Planet Of The Apes Films:

1. Planet Of The Apes - Chuck Heston original. One of the greatest films ever made.
2. Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes - slavery! Free those apes! And what a cool look this film had.
3. Beneath The Planet Of The Apes - yeah, it's a really bad film, but so bizarre and fun as hell to watch
4. Escape From The Planet Of The Apes - clever idea well executed
5. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - the reboot, first one. Good film.

My top 5 Jennifer Connelly movies...

Labyrinth
Dark City
House Of Sand and Fog
The Rocketeer
Phenomena

(I would have put 'Once Upon A Time In America', possibly my favourite movie of all time, in there, but seeing as she's only in it for a few minutes when she was about 10 years old, I'll leave it out...)

My top 5 JC movies  ;):

Phenomena
Waking the dead
House of sand and fog
Once upon a time in America
Etoile

I can always remember one of his 80's decade films, "The Protector" (1985) which was one of the first JC's actor films that I have seen. I think it was a Hong Kong scenery in it.

And The Protector is a bloody good one! I love his work, could have said his early work, but even today he has some good stuff going on. Damn this guy broke every fkn bone in his body not only once but several times for doing movies. He is a circus freak!

Bugger, it's my not so smart phone and its pre-emptive text feed...

I realized 80's films by mr. Chan could be described his mid career films. He started SO early.  :) Still can remember that mega flight he made in the harbour with a motorcycle in Protector.

Jane. I do remember that. At a guess without googling, around about 1985, beeb 2 on a Friday evening. They would not show such a thing these days, but as a teenaged lad, I quite liked it  ::)

Yeah, I had a thing for Glynis Barber from her Blakes 7 days so to see a show when she was somewhat underdressed throughout... can't imagine why such a thing would appeal to a teenage lad.   ;)

It was broadcast in 1982 and 1984.  Apparently it has never been reshown or been available on DVD because Barber was embarrassed by it, bought the rights from the BBC and destroyed the master tapes.   :o  Thankfully you can find episodes on YouTube...
