It was a fun game, discussion (argument) starter, and helped slow days go by quicker. The winter is a slow season for me since we currently only grow row crops and don't handle any livestock. So, to help pass the time, and for old times sake, here is a random list of some Top 5's, in no particular order, and maybe a few honorable mentions.
Top 5 Man Movies
These are movies that the ladies may like, but are for sure movies for dudes. If your buddies walked in and caught you watching any of these, extra points for manliness. Whereas, if your buddies come in and catch you watching Legally Blonde, they have automatic permission to use jiu jitsu on you.
- Snatch
- Kill The Irishman
- Boondock Saints
- Inglorious Bastards
- No Country for Old Men
Honorable Mention: Defiance, We Were Soldiers, Taken, Gone Baby Gone, American History X
Top 5 Shows Currently on TV
We don't watch a terrible amount of the boob tube, but these shows will most likely be DVR'd.
- 30 Rock
- House
- Only in America w/ Larry The Cable Guy
- Dirty Jobs
- Swamp People
Honorable Mention: American Restoration, Deadliest Catch, Alaska State Troopers
Top 5 Comedy Shows of all time
- 30 Rock
- The Office (seasons 1-4)
- Cheers
- Arrested Development
- The Cosby Show (until Elvin shows up)
Honorable Mention: Spongebob Squarepants, Wonder Years, Frasier
Top 5 Favorite Living Theologians
Very subjective, but these are folks I've either read, met, heard, or sat directly under their teaching. Hopefully none of the single white guys that comment anonymously all over blogs won't see this list, lest I be cyber flogged for: a) having both a paedo & credo on the same list. How dare I!, or b) not being "gospel centered" enough.
- RC Sproul
- Tim Keller
- Kevin DeYoung
- Jonathan Pennington
- Brian Vickers
Honorable Mention: Dan Doriani, Doug Wilson, Ravi Zacharias, Al Mohler, Derek Thomas
Top 5 Movies of all time (so far)
This is different than man movies. The lists could overlap, but if I'm stuck in a room and can only watch these 5 movies, this is what I'd want in my queue.
- Good Will Hunting - It's a good car. Got a good engine.
- Shawshank Redemption - If I'm trapped, this is an inspirational breakout movie.
- Almost Famous - Awesome soundtrack.
- Inception - Perhaps my entrapment is all a dream.
- Napoleon Dynamite - A little Rex Kwan Do training will help me fight my way out.
Honorable Mention: SlingBlade
Top 5 6 7 8 Books
Books are incredible and can provide a wealth of knowledge, information, inspiration, and helpful instruction. With so many genres it's impossible for me to list my favorite books, as different books have had special meaning, significance, or instruction at different points in my life. But these are a few that if someone has never read, I would say are must reads.
- Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot
- A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken
- When People are Big and God is Small by Ed Welch
- Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan
- Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
- Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis
- Reason for God by Tim Keller
- Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas
Honorable Mention: No Little People by Francis Schaeffer / Flyboys by James Bradley / Trellis & Vine by Colin Marshall / Moral Apologetics by Mark Coppenger / anything else by CS Lewis, Tim Keller, or Kevin DeYoung.
Top 5 Tractors
Since this is an ag blog, figured I better throw something ag related in. Wouldn't want the sponsors getting worried.
- John Deere
- Case
- Massey Ferguson
- Caterpillar
- John Deere (yea, I know already mentioned this one, but come on, how many tractor manufacturers are there? Foreign ones don't count. They use the metric system. That's un-American!)
What's your Top 5?
