i thought someone like Cube would have better taste... well..

i was thinking the same thing
me too

Not at bad list at all, even though Jaws at no.1 is a bit weird. You guys disappointed because he doesn't have Scarface at no.1 or what? Like you have better taste...
-
Lol^^

not scarface but jaws?!
-
The fuck are you wiggers talking about better taste?
4/5 on there are films that have changed the way movies are made and received.
I get it, you'd rather imagine him listing his own movies, the obligatory scarface, and maybe some other cliched rapper movie.
-
No, I tought some drama, or real film, like: The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Rain Man, The Dirty Dozen, or if he likes Spielberg, there is the Schindler's List.
But on the top of the list a horror?!?!
From an ACTOR?!
-
what the fuck is a better taste? i bet if u ask wu-tang, their gonna have the bruce lee movies and martial art flicks. cube likes those movies and thats it, its not like hes telling us to go watch his list.

Not a bad list. Trading Places is a great 80s movie. People were expecting:
5. Fast & Furious
4. Friday
3. Scarface
2. American Gangster
1. Boyz N The Hood
I'm sick of people putting Scarface in their top 5. Half of this board would put it in their top 10 at least. It isn't even no where near my top 20. Besides the motel room chainsaw scene, and the ending, the movie isn't that impressive. I suppose it's one of those "I'll say it's one of my all time fav movies to look cool" kind of choice among those who aren't comfortable with their s*xuality. They're all too scared to list emotional drama's and romance movies, but they watch them, trust me!!
-
Jaws is a fucking great movie...it revolutionized horror movies. You kids are just too young. By the time most of you were born they were probably on Jaws 5.
What is Trading places...I can't remember that one
-
The list is kind of cliche but there's nothing wrong with it. Having Jaws at number 1 is a bit unusual but all of the films have revolutionized film making and have been well received.
-
YES! I've always wondered about this.
-
Trading places is a fucking classic
-
What is Trading places...I can't remember that one
Trading Places starred Eddie Murphy (as a poor con artist) and Dan Akroyd (as a successful stock trader or something who worked for these two old guys who are brothers). Akroyd bumps into Eddie on the street and basically gets Eddie arrested since he got scared and made it seem like Eddie was trying to mug him (since his belongings ended up falling into Eddie's hands). The two old guys (who are the homeless guys from Coming to America who Eddie Murphy's character Akeem gives money to while walking on his date with Lisa) talk about it, while one argues that the two are products of their environment (and if switched, their new environments would change them) while the other argues the opposite... kind of like nature vs. nurture. So the brothers (who are wealthy and powerful) frame Akroyd, fire him and damage his reputation while hiring Eddie and bringing him onboard. But then of course Eddie later figures out what the brothers were doing and handles it with Akroyd's help (who, by that point in the movie, had become an alcoholic thief who had started ODing on pills).
-
wow I haven't seen that...but am a big fan of both actors. I need to rent that one.
-
this isnt a bad list at all, id rather watch all those movies (except jaws) over scarface, objectively i wouldnt disagree if someone said it was a better movie (than scarface).

Also, if you watch Eddie Murphys later movie "coming to America", he bumps passed these 2 brothers whilst walking through the city park at night with his date, and he leaves a wad full of cash to a homeless person, who then wakes up another homeless dude. They 2 homeless guys are actually they 2 brothers that are in Trading places. Didn't notice it until just recently my 6/7th time watching that movie

If you actually read my post, I actually mentioned that scene, haha.

Yeah, it's a good movie. Also, the brothers (Randolph and Mortimer were their names, I think) were surprised at Eddie Murphy's character's knowledge and how straight-edge he becomes despite his background as a con.
If you care, Jamie Lee Curtis plays a prostitute who befriends Dan Akroyd when his life spirals downward, and you get to see her tits too.
-
You guys disappointed because he doesn't have Scarface at no.1 or what?
Yes, I am.
-
Crooked I's favorite movie

That is actually a really good top five list, imo. I'm not sure what everyone's issue is with the list. None of these films were bad, and like some one else said, some of them were game changers.
-
Jaws is an excellent movie. One of my favorites too and Scarface is overrated as hell.
-
Although it has some movies that are always on people's top ten, it's still unique.
-
WTF JAWS #1 ? i always thougt Jaws was a boring movie and overrated . not a bad movie though

If anything I'm most surprised by Citizen Kane, wouldn't have thought Cube was a giant Orson Welles fan?
-

I agree. He's in the film industry, those are all deemed classics (i don't know trading places though but the other ones)
-

Cube just knows how to appreciate real movies. He's not the only one. Remember how in Poetic Justice after Janet Jackson told Pac "They still gon' fuck you up," he responded by saying, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a fuck..."? That was a nod to the famous line "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" from Gone With The Wind.
-
Those are dope choices, all of them were very well acclaimed, a couple even considered amongst the best of all time. Trading places though is the odd one out, lol, I guess thats why opinions are subjective :P
-
Lol @ you idiot's for claiming this is a wack list.
Citizen Kane, the godfather, jaws <- classic films in the history of cinema.
The world has other movies than scarface, boondock saints and the like.
-
I though his list would've went like this:
5 - Barbershop
4 - Players Club
3 - Friday
2 - Are We Done Yet?
1 - Are We There Yet?
