Jason Ruff's Movie Posters

These movie posters were on the walls of a high school English teacher I had for three years.
Thinking that I should try watching all of these movies, I made a list... Which I eventually substituted for the IMBb Top 250 and finally made this site.

List contains: 16 items, 33.3 hours.

Overrated. Compare to Casablanca because they are both "old movies" (1 year apart) and both always ranked high on movie lists.

The "Choose life" intro sticks in my head. Crazy movie. I think I watched it because my high school English teacher Mr. Ruff had a poster of it. Come to think of it, I wanted to watch all the movies of which he had posters on the walls. That was the first movie list I aspired to complete, but I transposed it with the IMDb list because ease of access and significant overlap. Hmm.

I watched this while doing other things and I'm never sure if that means I'm not giving something a fair chance, but I didn't care for this movie.

Stephen Klancher: SEEN
We watched this movie in Mr. Ruff's English class as part of a style comparison of this and another western of a much different tone, Shane. For me, the style of Unforgiven comes down to the line "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it." This was the first Western I have a distinct memory of watching. Prior to this I just had a vague assumption that I didn't care for Westerns, but this and a few others put me on the road to realizing how awesome they can be.

I knew I had enjoyed Unforgiven and Shane, but this was the movie which convinced me: I really enjoy westerns! I watched this with a girl I met on a bus. She forgot her purse and I argued with the bus driver and made him wait until she came running up from the previous bus stop. Obviously the only thing to do was invite her over for dinner and a western right?

Such a wtf ending. Also, long haired freaky people need not apply.

I had heard every joke long before I actually saw this, so while it was funny, it was underwhelming and not very memorable.
