Favorite Movie Scene #5 - Alien

The first Alien movie came out in 1979, two years after Star Wars.  But Alien is kind of like the horror/thriller version of Star Wars.  It is a ground-breaking movie that I don't think gets enough respect.

(The clip I chose is a bit gory.  So be advised.)

Back!

Joshtarts is back. It's been too long, my friends.

And to kick things off, I am presenting my flickchart.com movie list after surpassing 10,000 ratings! I am quite proud of it. It is still not done (I doubt it will ever be done) and I saw Inception the day I finished it. Because I was still cleaning my brain off the floor, I didn't feel comfortable including it in my rankings just yet.

Without further adieu, my top 25 movie list: (click here for a full list)

1. Iron Man
2. The Princess Bride
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. Donnie Darko
5. Forrest Gump
6. Fight Club
7. It's a Wonderful Life
8. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
9. Saving Private Ryan
10. Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark
11. Being John Malkovich
12. Back to the Future
13. Return of the Jedi
14. Aliens
15. Home Alone
16. A Beautiful Mind
17. Taken
18. The Sound of Music
19. The Bourne Identity
20. Shaun of the Dead
21. Apollo 13

Star Wars Dance Off

Holy crap! This is funny. It seems dull and semi-interesting until the third contestants come onto the stage. This is a must see!

Geek Awesome-ness

Some geek programmed an old floppy disk drive to play one of the Star Wars songs. It is as awesome as it is geeky.

My New Favorite Actress - Natalie Portman

So someone asked me who I thought was the hottest actress right now, and I had a hard time coming up with an answer. Most people say Jessica Alba, or Jessica Simpson, or Kate Hudson, or Paris Hilton, but I think all those girls are stupid. I have a hard time thinking a girl is attractive when I can't get over how incredibly dumb they are. (I don't think Kate Hudson is that dumb; I kinda like her.)

So this week's favorite is probably one of the most talented that will ever be showcased.
Natalie Portman has been in Garden State (one of my favorite movies), The Darjeeling Limited (So Good!), V for Vendetta, Star Wars Ep. III, Ep. II & Ep. I, Mars Attack!, and 2008 new features The Other Boleyn Girl and Brothers.

One of my favorite performances of Natalie was on Saturday Night Live in 2006. Her skit "Natalie Raps" was hilarious. Chris Parnell interviews Natalie and she busts out into a ridiculous gangster rap. But I really fell in love with her in Garden State.

Darth Vader Being A Jerk

This edited clip from a famous Star Wars scene is so funny.
