Hey @TheOriginalFuzz I made my list! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

[@Franksmediaandreviews]

Great video Chase. If I can find the time, I want to make my list as well.

[@AVAPopCulture]

thanks brother! It was surprisingly time consuming and difficult to make that list BUT very fun as well!! Id encourage you to do it and tag me and @theoriginalfuzz in it when you do! It is fun to see people's lists!

[@SuperRexProductions]

What I like the most from these kinds of lists is seeing how different the lists can be. Besides the First Terminator; you and I dont have any overlaps. Whch is great. Just goes to show how wide spread and diverse the art of film is. Great video man! 🤟🏻

[@AVAPopCulture]

the difference in tastes keeps things interesting...I think age and the movies you grow up with cause variances in lists too! If you werent a kid going to the movies in the 80s, you may not have the same connections with some of these movies etc

[@fritzthecat8158]

To Live and Die in LA should be on this list

[@AVAPopCulture]

Good movie but Everyone is going to have different lists!!!

[@Beetleejuicee]

Never realized they spoke 4 different languages in The Goonies -English, Spanish, Italian, & Japanese

[@TheOriginalFuzz]

Great list Chase! I see we share quite a few films in common -- in terms of overall favorites that made the list. And thanks for shout-out too! Appreciate that. BTW, dude that is so cool that you got to work with Martin Kove! Totally badass. Good video man.

[@AVAPopCulture]

Thanks man! I noticed that about our lists too! Clearly we have good taste LOL.... working with Marty was awesome- he even got me to write in an extra flashback scene so I could act in a scene with him - if you'd have told the little kid version of me that one day Id write and direct a movie with "Sensei Kreese" and do a scene with him too, Id have told you that you were crazy 🤣 - this was a fun list to do, thanks again for the inspiration!

[@bmaga123]

Awesome list! Loving your channel, dude! Christmas Vacation is my favorite Christmas movie, and like you, I watch it a ton of times around the holidays.

[@AVAPopCulture]

thank you! I really appreciate you checking out the channel and I am glad you are enjoying it - that really does mean a lot to me! and I never get tired of Christmas Vacation! I even do a special "Christmas Vacation Christmas Tree" every year with all of my Christmas Vacation ornaments lol

[@tonygonzales726]

Just found your channel! Love your enthusiasm and love for cinema and ALL the classics we grew up with. Please continue with this great content! I would like to ask about boutique labels and if you could make a comprehensive list (video)? I've never heard of cinema museum and vinegar syndrome! So cool! Thanks again!

[@AVAPopCulture]

Thank you!! I am going to cover the boutiques in a video for sure! I did just do one that covered Turbine Media out of Germany which is a foreign boutique with some great collector's sets...but a full video about Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, Turbine, Zavvi, Umbrella, and other is something I plan on getting to! Thanks again for the kind words! retro cinema all day! lol

[@ericspalacio]

Now this is where I part ways with a lot of people, my favorite was return of the Jedi, I found the story more intriguing because it focused mostly on Luke, and the Empire a lot of it focused around Han and Leia, and as a guy let me just be honest, a lot of that she’s Bored me to death, and as I watch that movie, I do have to find my sub, skipping huge scenes, a lot of people love it as a classic, but for me it ran a little too long and I could do without a lot of hon and Leah scenes interrupting Yoda and Luke Training. 28:41

[@ericspalacio]

And another thing, the green light saber looked way cooler than the blue come on guys, once you saw that saber light up green for the first time I don’t know I kind of lost it that was so cool.

[@SirSSau]

ROTJ is the best one for me too. I mean from Jabbas Lair, the Desert scene with the pit, speeders, walkers and even the ewoks in the Jungle - I love it all.

[@SirSSau]

I have about 20 of these on 4K, Predator, Star Wars and maybe -Once upon a time in Hollywood, would be in my Top 25 I’d have - Alita, Mad Max Fury Road, Aliens (I think Romulus will be there too) Saving Privet Ryan, and Sicario just to name a few.

[@trueCinemaniac]

[@jameshollier9227]

Awesome list brother

[@AVAPopCulture]

thanks man! I had a lot of fun doing this!

[@KillerPizzaVideos]

Great list and great channel! Keep up the good work brother you got me subscribed

[@AVAPopCulture]

hey! thanks man! Im gonna go over and check out your channel! I appreciate it!!

[@KillerPizzaVideos]

@@AVAPopCulture No problem at all brother real recognizes real and I like your take and opinions on film you seem like a cool dude too and thank you hopefully you dig the content I'm putting out as well!

[@AVAPopCulture]

@@KillerPizzaVideos thanks my friend! When I came back to collecting big time and made the jump into doing this, I was so excited to see how many awesome people are getting into (and are still into) physical media and movies! It pumps me up and excites me for the future!

[@AVAPopCulture]

hey @thelastmoviestanding I think we need your Top 25 films!!

[@ozzy.....7383]

Can’t argue with your list. Seen 5500 movies since 94 and only about 50 good. Thor Ragnarok Wonder Woman road trip euro trip sex drive rolling Kansas warlock Witchboard hit and run my cousin Vinny bachelor party grandmas boy old school idiocracy clerks 2 ghostbusters bill and Ted some like it hot pixels return of the living dead 1 and 3

[@RMS5006]

Another great topic. Great list!

[@AVAPopCulture]

thank you!!! this one was a tough list to narrow down lol

[@RMS5006]

You inspired me to do one. It's very challenging, but really fun.

[@ericspalacio]

Yeah, I can relate on that one, when I was little, I had already an idea of what I liked and one of my two favorite movies was when I was a kid was the fly 1986 and scanners, I didn’t realize they were Kronenberg until I was like 19 like way later like in the 2000s, so yeah I can relate when it comes to that, cool stuff so far 7:52

[@AVAPopCulture]

LOL right? I just never paid attention...I always thought of Verhoeven with Basic Instinct and Showgirls...even though I was kinda aware he did the sci-fi stuff but it really just didnt dawn on me until I got into being "serious" about movies and filmmaking in my late teens

[@ericspalacio]

@@AVAPopCulture yeah, basic instinct didn’t really hit me until later as well, but we rented RoboCop probably a handful of times from the warehouse back in 87, well at least out here in LA, I grew up in the little inner cities around Los Angeles, so the big stores at the time was the warehouse, music plus and Little Asian video owned private stores, we would get videos cheaper there, there is one place called. Need a video that we would go to that was next to a pizza man, good times. I also think it’s funny how people don’t realize certain things, I didn’t grow up with blockbuster, we didn’t hear about blockbuster and Hollywood video until maybe I want to say, 9495 at least around where I was in the Los Angeles area. I mean yeah, I want to say 1994/1995 blockbuster didn’t make its way in until then here in Cali, we also didn’t get a Walmart until like 97.

[@Beetleejuicee]

Very solid list

[@AVAPopCulture]

thank you!! you can kinda tell that my heart is still in the 80s lol

[@Beetleejuicee]

@@AVAPopCulture haha I feel like the most cherished movies for people will always be the ones we are remember when we were younger. Just brings back alll that nostalgia

[@ericspalacio]

Agreed, I do have a specific saying for this movie, it ain’t Christmas without McLean, yay Mara,,, exploit, lol 27:10

[@Rozzyc1976]

The ending of Trading Places puts a smile on my face every time. I still own my original Point Break vhs. Mad Max, Heat, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Dead Again and who Framed Roger Rabbit would would make my top 25

[@AVAPopCulture]

Looking good Billy Ray...Feeling Good Louis! lol

[@ericspalacio]

OK, I’m just gonna say this once, I seen other reviewers talk about Lethal Wepen and whether people like it or not let’s just be logical about this, it starts up with a Christmas song, classic jingle, Bell rock and ends with another classic. I’ll be home for Christmas Elvis Presley, awesome classics, it was meant to be a different movie for the time and a Christmas classic, a change of pace of Christmas classics. You also have a lot of scenes with some Christmas tree atmosphere good stuff, merry Christmas will set at least two or three times in the movie and race it guys it’s one of the first action hybrid for the t 17:20 imes.

[@RMS5006]

This is a real fun challenge to get a list down to 25. Heres mine: '79)Alien, ''86)Aliens, '84)Terminator, ''92)T2, '87)Predator, '88)Diehard, '80)The Shining, '73)The Exorcist, '69)Easy rider, '87)The Untouchables, '80)Airplane, '72)Godfather, '74) GF2, '83) Ghostbusters, '89)Christmas Vacation, '87) Planes Trains & Automobiles, '98) Fear & Loathing in LV, '13)Wolf of Wallstreet, '92)Last of the Mohicans, '95)Heat, '86)Platoon, '87)Full Metal jacket, '83)Scarface, '80)Raging Bull, '89)Glory.

[@AVAPopCulture]

LOL it is harder than you'd think to narrow it down isnt it? Great list!!

[@RMS5006]

Oh yeah. Thanks!

[@AVAPopCulture]

Big Sci-Fi and Horror fan I see! Love it!

[@ericspalacio]

He agreed, Directors cut can be more superior than theatrical cuts, for me a perfect example and this is one reason why I never purchased the 4K Blu-ray as of yet is, tropic thunder, Ben Stiller‘s cut is far more superior, there’s certain scenes that are not there that kind of hurt the movie and there were comedic scenes that are cut that also take away from Enhancing what’s already there, it was the first time I watched a directors cut, and significantly liked it better than the theatrical, this is most likely the only movie that I know that I’ve seen that the directors cut is superior, every now and then I’ll get one word it’s a little better, but this is to the point where I just I cannot watch the theatrical cut . 14:01 52

[@JohnDoe-bz4yl]

I don't think i could make a top 25 list it would be too hard I could make a top 5 list of each director but that's about it

[@AVAPopCulture]

it is super hard to do ...BUT very fun!

[@crboyd254]

Good list.

[@AVAPopCulture]

thank you! it was a lot of fun to do!

[@ozzy.....7383]

I do like T3 also

[@harshgurav7704]

Which video/dvd/Bluray player do you use ?

[@AVAPopCulture]

I use Sony x800m2 region free 4kud blu ray player ...I am considering picking up a Panasonic DP-UB820-K to upgrade my old Samsung 4k player from 2015 BUT I am not convinced it is worth the extra $100 over the Sony...still, I'd like to see the difference

[@eyecandy1301]

Should have had you get me three of these ….

[@AVAPopCulture]

Lol I always wanted to try the meatball sub because he clearly loved it 🤣

[@niknigal3379]

Surprised you didn't have Jeanne Dielman on your list

[@arliemoses4272]

My brother and I.

[@AVAPopCulture]

are you talking about the movie my brother and I or correcting my grammar? lol

[@ericspalacio]

Wow, good mother effing list, I want to say when I was a kid my brother and I we actually found the nightmare on Elm Street and the 13th movies damn hilarious, I know it sounds odd but we just I mean as scary as they were supposed to be they were actually very very funny to us. I want to see the movie when I was a kid that disturbed me was American werewolf in London, that was one of the first times I kinda was checking outside my window if I heard something a noise at night outside the bathroom window, that scene when he transforms into the wall werewolf in the living room I kinda be looking around my living room you know, thinking, what would I do? I don’t even think I’d be able to run from that thing it’s so fast. 49:46

[@AVAPopCulture]

Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this list! I definitely didn't find Nightmare on Elm Street funny as a kid back in 1985 lol

[@ericspalacio]

Yeah, we found Freddy Krueger to be pretty hilarious, and it didn’t help that later in the 90s other people could relate to it, The Simpsons did a pretty good job mimicking the scene where he’s on fire at the end and the screaming, when groundskeeper Willy gets set on fire, I don’t know in between the 80s and the 90s happened so fast for me, in between with children and living color and the Simpsons becoming basically a new genre of sitcom. I also remember back in the day in high school one of my friends found the super Freddy bit hilarious and dream child, I think one of my favorite bits was and part four when he’s making fun of westerns, he’s like you shouldn’t of buried me I’m not dead. I don’t know. This is certain things that was comical to my brother and I, seeing teenagers get hacked up in funny ways in the Friday the 13th movies, they were so much odd. It was just done pretty entertaining, you can tell when they were making some of the Friday the 13th. They had a little bit too much fun doing the kills.

[@ericspalacio]

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention, I was yes, a huge fan of American werewolf in London, but later when he did the sequel, I felt so betrayed, it was such a bad bad movie. I think that’s the problem today if a movie like that was released, you’d have a lot of people saying it was good, it was it was pretty good,, I could seriously say, American world in Paris dunk. I recently watched it again a couple weeks ago and gotta say still feel some betrayal. I recently purchased the 4K a couple years ago that they did of an American werewolf in London and just because I’m nostalgic, I also have the laser disk remaster from 1995.

[@DriveupLife22]

I like your choices, I just find the selections pretty typical. Do you ever give foreign films and art house cinema a try? As a director yourself I would have expected to see at least one or two notables from the cannon outside of the big US productions.

[@AVAPopCulture]

I watch everything and all kinds of movies BUT I was kid in the early 80s going to see a lot of these iconic films open in the theater and right there when the movie rental stores began to open up and become popular - you cant think in terms of how it is today - as a 6 year old kid in rural Georgia in 1985, you weren't seeking out Art-House and Foreign films, nor did you have access to much of that - BUT you could get to the theater and see The Goonies or Ghostbusters etc every chance you could and then wait the looong stretch before it made it to Video rental stores or on TV - the truth is, most anyone who was a kid and grew up in that time is probably not being very honest if they say they were all about Foreign and Art House films in growing up in the 80s because the access to them wasnt there...internet wasnt even widely used until I graduated High school lol and there just arent any films since I have been an adult that have stuck with me the same as those - there is a reason Hollywood is going back to those films...

[@EpicTubeHD]

Wait a sec... no Realm of Souls? Best Horror movie out there... 😁

[@AVAPopCulture]

Bwhahahahahahaha.... possibly my least favorite film I've made because of how exhausted I was... Creature Feature was the most fun, Bring Me A Dream had the biggest names, and Dark Roads 79 is probably my best

Tombstone number 1. Fact not opinion and I don’t like western. Trading is on 4K

[@ericspalacio]

I say it, I didn’t like the breakfast club, well not to the point where I want to watch it again, it wasn’t a bad movie, I just I guess I didn’t like it, I don’t know what else to say.

[@AVAPopCulture]

some people dont like it... I am late Gen X so I can relate to a lot of it but it is not a a watch all the time movie for me whereas I can watch Weird Science every day lol

[@ericspalacio]

@@AVAPopCulture yeah, we were very much into weird science as well. Kely LeBron was smoking back in the day and one of my favorite John Hughes movies at the time was uncle Buck and Dutch, later on I warmed up to planes, trains, and automobiles.

[@ericspalacio]

And one more movie in particular that I liked back in the day, which I don’t know maybe he had a part in it or they were just trying to copy his formula, but this was an awesome movie and it’s all right, 3 o’clock high, I recently watched it again and still love it, Freaking hilarious
