And my 50,000th ranking is...*drum roll*...two movies that shaped my tastes into what they are today, so this definitely ain't a bad way to go. Plus they're both in my top 10, so there's that. The hard part is choosing. You've got one of the most fun movies to ever grace a movie, TV, or computer screen. Jackie was supposedly past his prime, but he showed the world that he still had plenty of fight in him. Having Anita Mui, Lau Kar-Leung, and Ti Lung in your movie also helps. By the end of it all, I got to see two of martial arts cinema's greatest duke it out, Jackie Chan overact like he was getting payed extra for every frame that featured a vein popping out of his forehead, and *breathe in* perhaps, the greatest fight scene the world has ever seen in his drunken duel with bootmaster Ken Lo. Taxi Driver gave me God's Lonely Man. It's hard to choose, but Travis Bickle just might be Robert De Niro's best performance and Martin Scorsese's best picture. It's that damn good. But I'm preaching to the choir. You guys already know about the mirror, the mohawk, and the *puts finger to head* "poosh." Both of these are endlessly entertaining and infinitely rewatchable, and I'm having a hell of a time picking one. Do I go with, "Are you talkin' to me?" or "*Hiccup*"?
*Taxi Driver. Both my choice and a correction.
