[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

And in typical poorly produced poorly researched and poorly thought-out Durfee channel fashion, i noticed i was holding up the WRONG movie at the end!!! Anyway. check out my top ten novels of all time video @

[@serge4061]

Great movie list. I've got most of yours on my top 10-20 list with Predator, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard, Big Trouble Little China, Big Lebowski, Jurassic Park. Finally someone who respects the cinematic masterpiece that is Conan the Barbarian! Automatic subscribe!

[@sethrakes1991]

The Big Lebowski is the only comedy in my top 10. Every time it’s on TV I end up watching the whole thing.

[@artofawr]

This is an excellent list. Ladyhawke would be a perfect movie, but the 80's had a bad habit of using synth soundtracks for flicks that shouldn't have a synth soundtrack.

[@douglasherron7534]

Love the fact your Top Ten is always more - as 10 is way too few! Great list (generally). Last of the Mohicans - Her eyes in the promontory scene... Ladyhawke - Seriously underrated movie. May seem a bit "clunky" in terms of production values, compared to more recent movies, but storyline and the locations (not CGI) are great. Braveheart - So long as you ignore the pretensions of "reality" and consider it a fictional movie with some real historical names thrown in then it works. Just please do not consider it a "historical" movie in any way! (BTW, I'm Scottish) Star Wars - Saw it in the movie theatre with my brother, sister and cousins when it first came out. Shouldn't watch it any other way as you cannot get the enormity of the scope otherwise... Not a great Ferris fan myself... thought you might have gone for Caddyshack.

[@bookgirl1195]

I'm a woman and I would add The Terminator and Aliens to that list. Fun, edge of your seat films. Terminator being a love story and Aliens showing humanity, fear, and uncertainty even though they were badass marines. Sorry for the swearing. lol.

Dear Mr. Durfee, This is my first comment I have ever made on KZbin. I thoroughly enjoy your book reviews, and through your recommendations I have been introduced to many new authors and books. I really enjoy your top ten lists of books and movies. I was wondering, I would love to see a top ten of true crime books of your recommendations. I am sure I am not the only fan of yours that would LOVE to see that video!! Thank you for all you do.... Debby Kroupa

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

I don't know if i have read ten true crime novels. But my favs are Stranger Beside Me (Ted Bundy. The Elizabeth Smart book. Under The banner of Heaven. Helter Skelter. Devil In The White City. WOW maybe i can do a top ten!!

[@kenkroupa5707]

@@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS Please Do!!

[@Michael_L_Morrison]

Great list! I have some of those in my top favorites too. But my all time favorite is James Cameron's Avatar. I also have Sling Blade, The English Patient, and Legends of the Fall in my list. Also, most James Horner soundtrack/scores are dope as hell!!! I have a few in my collection.

[@aarondavid826]

Is the Dances with Wolves novel good? It's my fav movie

[@saifonlawrence2044]

Unforgiven is also in my top ten. Check out The Petrified Forest, Of Human Bondage,The Grapes Of Wrath,The Caine Mutiny,Revolutionary Road,Wizard Of Oz,The Godfather 2,Young Frankenstein, Ben Hur to really get some great entertainment!

[@sherribugd3799]

Great list! Last of the Mohicans is my fave of all time. Most of yours are on my top list as well. Would be interested to see a top 10 war movie list. What did you think of Hacksaw Ridge?

[@philipslane9553]

Great list! Gonna be sure to see the ones I haven’t seen. Really excited to check out Braveheart, Gladiator, and Platoon

[@barbaraboethling596]

Thanks for the video! Well, we partly agree. My top three are LOTR, Gladiator, and Das Boot!

[@adamcreal971]

I am looking for a book that is like Gladiator. Do you have a favorite rome/gladiator book?

[@cavendar24]

Great list. I wonder if you've seen Ivanhoe?

[@1siddynickhead]

Hey Brian! You have great taste dude! Would highly recommend The Fall starring Lee Pace for your list. It's amazing and the locations are out of this world! If you haven't seen it already 🙂

[@FrailShiver]

Good list! I only seen 6 of these movies, perhaps one day I'll watch some of the others.

[@davidcarroll9698]

The opening scene of the movie was made in wexford Ireland. I had the honour of been in the movie as a extra and was the officer in charge of the German soldiers. Great time doing the movie

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

Cool

[@lydiam.1833]

Wow. I am from Fairbanks! North Pole to be exact. It will always be home to me. Even though I am now stuck in a sweltering miasma of a state.

[@rubyjreads7503]

I'm a big Willem Dafoe fan. My goodness!, that ending scene ruined me. I cried so hard!!! Here are some honorable mentions: Apocalypse Now 1979 The Dogs of War 1980 Full Metal Jacket 1987 Hamburger Hill 1987 Gardens of Stone 1987 The Siege of Firebase Gloria 1989 Casualties Of War 1989 Born On The Fourth Of July-1989

[@martinsFILMS13]

Thin Red Line 1998

[@camb546]

My favorite movies are the most rewatchable ones. I agree with your list. I would add the Back To The Future series. The matrix 1. Big Lebowski. And a guilty pleasure of mine is Pineapple Express. Just because I’m fond of the bromance and the silly screenplay. 100% agree on Ferris Buellers day off… total masterpiece. Same with Pulp Fiction and Shawshank for very different reasons. You have a great taste in movies! I highly recommend Under The Silver Lake. It is captivating and I can’t put my finger on it, but from start to finish it has hidden symbolism and Andrew Garfield kills it. It’s part taxi driver part eyes wide shut. Another one you might like, is Brawl on Cell block 99. Amazingly violent and a great character piece. Vince Vaughn betrays a Russian mob to save a bunch of cops and it’s completely out of left field. Gives a sense of virtue to the main character. Then they go after his pregnant wife and blackmail him from within prison to assassinate someone. But he’s required to act out and get sent to where the psychos are and essentially ruins his own life to save his family. The fights are the best I’ve ever seen in any movie. Think Michael Meyers in prison. The guy is just the human equivalent of the Terminator. Lol

[@annakhjelm146]

I love Pinapple Express 😁

[@anpe4970]

I really want to watch Ladyhawke now. I had my "Conan moment" with the old Three musketeers movie. I remember renting it from the video place over and over. It made me fall in love with action movies.

[@williamramskill5488]

As far as prison break novels and movies go I feel Papillon is better than Shawshank and I love Shawshank too.

[@Maren617]

Our taste is SO SIMILAR even though I'm female. I agree with everything!! That has never happened to me before. And to anyone else watching: listen to Brian here, if a guy who wants to date you doesn't like Gladiator, do not date him. Just don't. By the way, if you want a recommendation for a really great new-ish movie that definitely fits into your list: watch "Hostiles" (Western with Christian Bale)! It's really awesome! Or if you want something lighter: The Adjustment Bureau. Mad Max: Fury Road is also very impressive and new. So you see, they still do make great movies! I also loved The Big Short, Spotlight and The Young Victoria. But you totally forgot to include: Master & Commander with Russell Crowe, and The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. How could you?? Now you have to re-do the video with them added.

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

Mad Max Fury Road almost made the list

[@annakhjelm146]

Tottaly agree, it's a great æist indeed and a big yes to include Madter & Commander and The last Samuri

[@mbustin548]

You forgot Tombstone , Inception,Once Upon a Time in America, The Godfather, The Matrix.... 😂

[@burton1ify]

Tombstones brilliant! 💀 🪦

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

The Godfather was this close

[@omaramat4813]

Ladyhawke!!!

[@captainnolan5062]

Our movies are in alignment for the most part. LoTM and LoTR and great movies, as is DWW, but where is the Wizard of Oz?

[@paulm.6818]

Hi, Brian. I have a recommendation for you that I think you will absolutely love. It was originally a book before being made into a movie. It's very very underrated. It's called "The Boys From Brazil". Don't search up the synopsis for it contains spoilers. It is a mystery about Nazi war criminals after WW2 and it contains sci-fi elements. It's written by Ira Levin (author of "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives".

[@jamescarter3130]

Our taste are very similar, so I was very surprised you didn't have any of the great mob movies on your list.

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

The Departed & The Godfather could be in my top 25 easily

[@99Michaelthom]

Our top 17 movies is similar. Only differences are mine has a couple more Tarantino up in there sans Ferris Bueller and LadyHawke and replaced with Hateful Eight and Django Unchained. Unforgiven is above Braveheart. Star Wars Empire would be #1. Dances With Wolves definitely up there in the top 5. Though it's a great movie, Shawshank maybe replaced with Stand By Me. Last of the Mohicans replaced with Reservoir Dogs and Lawrence of Arabia replaced with Kubrick's The Shining. Would have to add Interview with the Vampire and Predator in there somewhere.

[@Sactown15]

I'd put Titanic in my list too. I remember watching the two tape vhs with my family. I'm waiting on James Cameron to put out 4k remaster. He's too busy filming blue people though.

[@JohnInTheShelter]

One thing a lot of these have in common: excellent scores. MOHICANS is outstanding, CONAN is one of the greatest scores ever.

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

Mos Def

[@davidcarroll9698]

I was a extra in beaveheart as well.

[@Nasser851000]

does the list include star wars? XD

[@kfwimmer]

You are great!

[@Steph_W]

Braveheart is my all time favorite movie ever! I think Return of the King is the best. But I was not the biggest fan of Private Ryan. I saw The Thin Red Line the same year and thought it was better. And Tom Hanks is my favorite actor. 😮

[@irena7777777]

I thought Thin Red Line was better too. It's much more profound

[@Twistedstar0320]

Man, where was The Labyrinth, Princess Bride, Big Trouble In little China, American Ninja..

[@zacharyfeller4187]

No Indiana Jones ;_;

[@saifonlawrence2044]

Overall silly choices (except Unforgiven)...try watching some classics from the 30s to 60s it will enlighten you.

[@carenome1]

I was hoping for pct Ryan. And there it was.

[@Sactown15]

One of my characters is influenced by Maximus except she is female.

[@fantasticphilosophy181]

No Big Lebowski? Unsubcribed! (Kidding, but you definitly should watch it though)

[@andreabknight]

No Interstellar? In fact no Christopher Nolan? What a shame

[@paulm.6818]

Instead of that, you should be asking: "No Scorsese?" That's the real shame. Although Nolan is also great.

[@tgwtom]

🦈Jaws. My #4 ,at least today, deserves a shoutout. My first KZbin comment ever 🙋🏽‍♂️Let it so be recorded.

[@crow_poem6369]

You list suffers from a severe recency bias. Do yourself a favor nd watch some older movies. Start in the 1940’s.
