I don't usually do memes, but this one caught my fancy.
Gakked from sharpest_asp:
Everyone should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).
Not in order:
1) Star Wars, original trilogy (yeah, I'm cheating a little bit, what else is new?)
2) Serenity. (Actually, "Firefly" as a whole, but we're supposed to stick to movies)
3) Undercover Blues
4) Wargames
5) Big Trouble in Little China
6) Roadhouse
7) Next of Kin
8) Hopscotch
9) In & Out
10) The Last Dragon
Feel free to ask about any of them, and I'll try to explain. Or if you think you know why I included a particular one, say so.

I like the spread of genre and theme I see here.
I am curious about the one I have not seen: Hopscotch.

You haven't seen Hopscotch? Oh, you poor, deprived child!
Walter Matthau (Miles Kendig, senior CIA field agent), Glenda Jackson (Isobel -- GOD, I love Isobel!), Ned Beaty (Myerson, @sshole dirty CIA boss), and a very young-looking Sam Waterston (Joe Cutter, mid-level CIA field agent trying to find the balance in his loyalties). Caper/spy hijinks at its finest!
Why did I include it? Kendig.
If you pay enough attention to the details and to the people involved (instead of the hats they wear), and you're willing and able to think outside the box, you can overcome just about anything without having to resort to actually harming anyone. Even a good man can let himself get complacent about what he's doing, not really questioning it... but then when he does finally take the blinders off? The world had better watch out -- especially those parts of the world that tried to attack him.
