casablanca and maltese falcon were too boring to me. I liked Clark Gable's act in gone with the wind and liked the movie. As for Dr.strangelove, it was too rubbish to me.

 

Is Pulp Fiction 'one of' the best movies of all time? Yes.

Greatest movie ever created though, I don't know if there's an answer to that.

I recently found a new appreciation for the Lord of the Rings movies. I've had the extended edition DVD's sitting on my shelf for the longest time and finally decided to watch them all. It took me 6 days to get through the whole 10 hours of movie time involved. There is so much meaning behind it all. I was amazed after watching the trilogy again. And the extended versions add so much ambience and visual stimulation along with the superb fantasy landscape and acting crew. I wonder how many extras they hired. It's insane the amount of time and effort must have gone into all that.

Perseverance and determination, I found were key points. Which is awesome imo, but there's so much more...

Cloud Atlas, I think deserves a spot up there. Kind of a Tarantino-ish sci-fi epic. Lots of meaning in that one that's hard to grasp on your first time seeing the movie.

The Maze Runner was a-maze-ing!

Also, Get Smart I thought was pretty good. It's one I like to re-watch and still laugh at. I especially liked how they created a separate spin-off movie. Bruce and Lloyd's Out of Control, which expands on parts of the movie you weren't aware of after watching Get Smart.

The way a movie makes you feel, the scenery, ambience and 'background noise' is what helps make my decision if a movie is 'good' or not.

It all depends on who is watching the movie and how they feel about it.

Birdman. I enjoyed that one as well! Worthy of a spot on my shelf.

I just wish he would have said "I... AM... BIRDMAN!!"



Edit: Speaking of Platoon, I'd like to watch Beyond The Law again.

Edit 2: Speaking of Beyond The Law... Hell Ride!! Fucking EPIC.

 

Pulp fiction is pretty great but for me it isn't one of the best of all time. I think my top movies are....

The gods must be crazy
Fight club
Waterworld
Requiem for a dream
Spun
Charlie Bartlett
American psycho
The shining (actually most Kubrick films that one is just my favourite)

 

The God's Must be Crazy brings me way back. I need to watch that one again.

I go snowboarding up at Timberline lodge where The Shining was filmed. Yet I still haven't gotten around to actually seeing it.

 

Let me get this straight you people really like waterworld?

It had a budget of over 200 million (but looked like a 100 million dollar movie) and grossed 82 million at the box office – ok

crab legs are overpriced too. that doesn't mean i don't enjoy them when i have them.

 

I can get you a discount on those crab legs, as for Fishtar or Kevin’s Gate you’re on your own

That scene where he gets offered up the young girl to plant his seed in, he scrunces up his face, basically runs away, they chase him and lock him up in a cage Deer Hunter style.


Ive had nightmares like that I Had a little bit of a giggle first time I saw that.


But seriously, Mad Max 3 is pretty kooky in a similar way to Waterworld, I didnt see any difference. The Costner Post Apocalyptic movie I really hate is The Postman, now that one is reall really really bad

 

I put it in the same category of failed underwater movies along with …………….

Sphere
Deepstar Six
Leviathan
Deep Rising
The Abyss (the best of the failed movies)
Deep Blue Sea
Poseidon
The Deep (except for Jacqueline Bisset)

The apartment (1960) was a movie with sadness. I liked it very much. I liked sadness and I liked that movie because I found the movie sad. I was feeling sorry for the actor in the movie while watching.

 

I've never seen it but I will try to find it and watch it soon. Thanks!

 

Off the top of my head:

The devils
Night of the demon
The wages of fear
Zulu
Children of men
Haxan
equus
Rope
M
Alien

 

Yeah Children of Men is the best post apocalyptic movie in a way, at leas with that general feeling of dread that persists throughout, excellent premise. Worldwide infertility more depressing than a zombie apocalypse

 

Wow, I remember seeing this in the cinemas. It was good and I forgot all about it!

 

Zulu was an excellent war movie, but Equus incorporated the worst of bestiality with homo-eroticism

I should have added ghost world to my list.
