I am going to combine two things that I absolutely love for this contest; cigars and Philip Seymour Hoffman movies. I do not believe there to be a better movie resume than what this guy has made. Obviously, everyone won’t agree with me but I will not be swayed. Since his untimely–I will not use the word tragic–passing on Super Bowl Sunday landed in Valentine’s month, and he was on my man crush list, I feel like a top 15 movie list is appropriate. Or as my 11-year-old daughter would say, “Totes apropro”. To go with this, I will be giving away a great 5 pack of cigars from my collection. Rules and cigars will be after the list, so here it is in all its glory.
1. The Big Lebowski
2. Scent of a Woman
3. Doubt
4. Boogie Nights
5. Love Liza
6. Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead
7. Charlie Wilson’s War
8. When a Man Loves a Woman
9. The Ides of March
10. Happyness
11. Twister
12. Magnolia
13. 25th Hour
14. Red Dragon
15. Along came Polly
Notable movies that I left off (in no order):
Mission Impossible III: These movies shot their wod in the first one.
The Talented Mr. Ripley: By far the scariest, most creepy, movie I have ever seen in my life.
Almost Famous: Full disclosure, I have not seen it and I have no intention too.
Capote: Easily the absolute worst movie ever made.
Moneyball: Seen it in real life; don’t need to watch the fake, exaggerated version.
Cold Mountain: This was good and would make my top 16 list.
Patch Adams: I despise Robin Williams and have not liked a movie he was in since Good Morning, Vietnam.
You can earn many entries into this drawing and I will be holding it on Feb. 28, 2014.
The cigars are (from top): Primer Mundo La Hermandad unbanded early release, Drew Estate Unica Serie Undercrown, Crowned Heads Headley Grange Drumstick LE, Ortega Serie D Lancero LE from DC Cigar Tweet-up package, and La Palina El Diario Kill Bill II (KBII).
