 Good Fun Movies

by DJ McAdam

Big Trouble in Little China After I finished making up my list of 100 Greatest Movies, I realized that there are a lot of good movies, and certainly fun movies, that I really like, that will probably never make any list of films, for the simple reason that no movie critic would dare admit to liking them.

Fortunately, I'm not a movie critic. 

Thus, the movies listed below are simply movies I like.  Of course, I like the films on the "greatest movies" list, too, but there's nothing remarkable in that.  I hope you get some good ideas from this list for choosing movies you might want to watch.  Since ranking is unimportant, the list is more or less in alphabetical order.

  • The Beastmaster (1982)

  • Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

  • Conan the Barbarian (1981)

  • Conan the Destroyer (1984)

  • Constantine (2005)

  • Dragonslayer (1981 - was 1981 a good year for movies, or what?)

  • Escape from New York (1981)

  • A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

  • Ghost Rider (2007)
