Last night at the bar, someone asked me to name my all-time favorite tv show and movie. Without any hesitation whatsoever I said:

Soprano's & Goodfellas.

What are yours?
 
Band of Brothers & ...... Ferris Bueller?





movie is damn near impossible to pin down.





Casino? Vertigo? Leon? I'm not playing properly am I.
 
Children of the Stones (Brit kids tv drama, mid 70s)





B/w





Groundhog Day
 
Movie is impossible, as in favourite record impossible...though in this moment, on this day, Sexy Beast and Funny Games (1997) come to mind.





Show is a tie between Good Times and The Wire.

Soprano's ?




wow timely post. I was just having this discussion with my girl last night. Soprano's is GOAT. Much as I love the Wire, the Soprano's is it. Way more complex, nuanced IMO. The more I think about it, the less of a contest there is actually btwn Sopranos and Wire; I think hindsight plays a big part in my assessment because I remember thinking Wire was the better show when it was on.





Movie is way tougher....like impossible. It may well be Blues Brothers.





Paging Batmon to hatt on both Soprano's and Gfellas.
 
personally, i feel Casino > Goodfellas. but i don't condemn harv for thinking contrary. both are phenomenal while catering to different tastes.

every baseball movie ever made.




Bad News Bears is one of the greatest.
 
Casino is great but I prefer the OG.





Long Gone may be my favorite baseball movie of all time (although I haven't seen it since high school).





Good pick on Band of Brothers. I like The Pacific as well.





Still haven't ever been able to get into The Wire.





My alternate answer might be: The White Shadow & Over the Edge.
 
while i love it, the wire is like twitter.





everyone talks about how important it is, there's 140 characters and there's long stretches where nothing interesting happens.








Omar is still GOAT antihero
 
The Simpsons (which, as far as I'm concerned, went off the air years ago) and 2001
 
Impossibe, but today....





Batman the 60's series in top 3 all time for me w/ TV shows.





And in keeping w/ the tired and re-warmed over Gangster theme....Ill go w/ Michael Mann's Thief in that 'genre'.
 
U.S. probably "Hill Street Blues" and UK, "Blake's 7".





Films, so many, "Diva" or "Meet Joe Black" tonight - Anthony Hopkins really sells man-who-knows-this-is-his-last-night-on-Earth, for me. Almost tears.








Almost.
 
Generaion Kill / Full Metal Jacket......I think, and no I don't have a war fixation...I don't think.
