Scott Blecha's Top Ten Movies

#10 - Super Troopers (2001)

First watched this movie in college (might be the reason I found it so funny)

Mac: All right, how about "Cat Game?"
Foster: All right meow. (1) Hand over your license and registration.
[the man hands him his license]
Foster: Your registration? Hurry up meow. (2) 

Maybe not the funniest movie of all time, but one of the first ones to pop into my mind right meow.

# 9 - Cool Runnings (1993)

Sanka Coffie: Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time! COOL RUNNINGS!

What a great rally cry!


# 8 - Happy Gilmore (1996)

How can you not like a movie with Bob Barker fighting?

Happy Gilmore: [to Bob Barker] The price is wrong, bi***.


# 7 - Training Day (2001)

Just something fun about watching a corrupt cop getting what’s been coming to him


# 6 - Rounders (1998)

Another movie from college that really got me interested in poker

Teddy KGB: He beat me... Straight up... Pay him... Pay that man his money.



All the action of a Die Hard movie with some nice logic puzzles to make you think.  One of those late-night cable movies that I have to watch whenever it’s on…just try to use a 3 gallon and a 5 gallon jug to get exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.


# 4 - The Patriot (2000)

Just a good movie to make you love America; with some blood and gore, of course.


# 3 - Tommy Boy (1995)

Too many good quotes to list…but one of my favorites:
Tommy: Fat guy in a little coat. Fat guy in a little coat.


A 5.7/10 on IMDB….is it wrong that it is so high on my list?  A good part that leads into my #1…

Fulton Greenwall: Yes, but to the natives... Shikaka.
[the Wachati chief and his son bow upon hearing the name]
Ace: Shikaka...
[they bow again]
Ace: Shikaka!
[they bow again]
Ace: Shawshank Redemption.
[they almost bow]


# 1 - The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 

No matter what time of day or what part of the movie, if it is on, I will watch it.

Andy Dufresne: Get busy living, or get busy dying.
