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?

movie is damn near impossible to pin down.
Casino? Vertigo? Leon? I'm not playing properly am I.
B/w
Groundhog Day
Show is a tie between Good Times and The Wire.
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.
every baseball movie ever made.
Bad News Bears is one of the greatest.
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.
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
Movie is tough... gotta think on that one
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'.
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.
TV show is easy, The Wire
Can't name one movie. Some of my favs Kill Bill Vol. 1, Lawrence of Arabia, Yojimbo, 40 Year Old Virgin, Casablanca
Favorite movie EVER.....
The Godfather or His Girl Friday
Pulp Fiction for movies
Film is tougher, arguably Goodfellas. Taxi Driver and Taking of Pelham 123 are also up there.
Yeah, movies is tough. Maybe Empire Strikes Back.
same for movie, there's a long list with films like Vertigo, The Conversation, Ran, Terra em Transe, Man Is Not a Bird, Vernon Florida, Stroszek, etc and so on, but the movie I've watched the most times is The Big Lebowski, followed by The Three Amigos!
TV: Party Down
Film: Buffalo 66
Curb your Enthusiasm and Menace To Society.
What is conflicted suburbanite?
Correct and that leads us into final Jeopardy.
hahahahahaha.
Sopranos for TV show, definitely. In comedy, I'd have to say Louie.
Movies is too hard. For me, it would probably be Taxi Driver.
One movie seems dumb, but I'll say Lebowski.
