    It's one of the best!
    Throw in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly at the top; and Cloud Atlas somewhere in there, and that's pretty much my list of movies that I have, or had at one time (with Pulp Fiction, of course) thst I watch over and over, when I get time.

    I like Pulp Fiction but I think I prefer Reservoir Dogs. Been awhile since I've seen either though.

    dark crystal
    fantasia
    men in black
    fern gully
    magic house
    felidea
    zootopia
    guardians of the galaxy
    the furst star wars and star trek movies
    i don't go to a lot of movies, because most of them are about mundane human crap, that i can see every day just by going where people are.
    i totally don't get why people want their emotions fucked with, unless they're rewarded for it by some sort of visual stimulus they DON'T get EVER effing day.
    (i should also mention and cut some slack for quest for fire, it was about what life was like for early hominids)

    i thought about that because of that other thread about what was it like for the first true humans. i furst heard about it before it came out, at a science fiction convention where i met john lithgow. this was before third rock and long before back to the future, when he was basically known among the fandom for bukaroo bonasai in the 8th dimention. this was in the early 80s some time.

    to make the best portrayal of just what it would have been like, based on best evidence available at the time, while of course presenting it in such a way as to make an entertaining story.

    so any way, i was not at all disapointed, when i finally did get to see it. there were other things strange enough to be interesting being done around that time, most of which i've forgotten the name of.

    The only thing I found good about Quest for Fire was Rae Dawn Chong running around naked - Which was enough

    Gone with the wind is better than Casablanca, Maltese Falcon and Dr.Strangelove.

    I’ve never been impressed with Gone With The Wind and I thought Clark Gable was better in Mutiny on the Bounty & Run Silent, Run Deep

    in what way? i thought strangelove kind of meh, but still more interesting then gwtw. casablanca and maltese falcon were more interesting then either.

    elephant walk was better then wind. well i'm just not impressed by gratuitous epicness. i guess that must be personal taste.

    i've never seen the latest remake of the title in the title of this thread. it might be ok, but i'm not really that interested in finding out.

    a movie has to be strange in a way i enjoy to be what i would consider worth paying to go see.

    if it makes me not human to not be interested in human interest, that's ok by me.

    (also ?movies rather then films?, sory no, i don't catch that drift at all. sounds like some kind of bs, but does raise my curiosity as to just what the hell it is supposed to mean)

    (shiendler and ghandi were human interest that were of interest to me, but i think those are about the only ones i can think of that were)

    I didnt mind waterworld, was just Mad Max on jet skis.

    If that is the worst movies of all time, add every Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler movie
