Taking huge inspiration (read: ripped off the idea) from Ruth at FlixChatter, I have decided to compile my own of the scenes I love to watch. These, as the headline suggests, are sequences in some of my favorite movies that I think I could watch on never-ending repeat. But before we begin, I would like to apologize up front for the varying quality of these videos (and in some cases the non-existent video of the sequence I’m referencing)…although it is YouTube after all right? So while this is about all the exposition a post like this requires, let’s get on with it, shall we?

G-S-T Top 10 – Best Films of the Decade (Round 2)
Hey All, this is the last minute contribution from Rob, your friendly neighborhood foreign correspondent chiming in with my thoughts from downtown Yokohama, Japan. In the end, the 2000’s may be most notable for two things, “comic book movies” and “re-movies“. We’ve definitely run the gamut of superheroes and gone from the A tier hero’s, the D tier wannabe’s in comic book movies and with Re-movies being the remakes/reboots/rehashes of more things than should be legally done in the space of 10 years. With that said, mine is going to be a rather predictable list, but stopping to think of what I liked over the last ten years (and there are some hard hard…

G-S-T Top 10 – Best Films of the Decade (Round 1)
As stated in our FYI post, starting something this daunting is nearly enough to make my head spin. Best Films of the DECADE?? What was I thinking?? Oh, it was sooo hard not to just pick ones I like and I really wanted to avoid letting cultural favorites/Oscar winners obscure the decision-making process. But a simple voice of reason and a suggestion changed everything. After thinking about this for a while now (starting back in October) I have racked my brain (and DVD library) and have come up with something I believe will be much easier. Since a decade is a hell of a long time to think about and evaluate…

G-S-T Top 10 – Buddy Flicks
First off, let me preface this by saying that trying to compile a great buddy flick list is going to be hard enough. There are so many movies that fit this description it’s almost it’s own genre. To widdle it down to 10 was near impossible so at the bottom I have some very deserving entries in the “Honorable Mention” Category. Next, and probably more importantly, let me tell you all that this list is devoted to my favorite movies out there that have impressive, memorable and hysterical “buddy” plot lines. As you will see in the entries below, some films are formulaic “buddy flicks” but others are indeed not…

G-S-T Top 10 – Favorite Film Theme Songs
Hello World, Marc Here: It’s Tuesday and after watching the Back to the Future Trilogy this weekend, boy was it a treat to hear “The Power of Love”, “Back in Time” and even ZZ Top’s “Doubleback”. Songs like these are what make other classic movies I love even better. So it was with the culmination of that 6 hour nostalgia fest that I began thinking of other film songs or theme songs that really get me excited to see the movie every time I hear them. I’ll say right off the bat that some of these are guilty pleasures, some I listen to on a regular basis and others remind…
