Thanks for the friend request. I'm not really partial to older movies, but The Treasure of the Sierra Madre will always be one of my favorites. I wish more people would check it out.
Yes I think some people either haven't heard of it, or don't watch it because it's an old movie. But I feel that it has such a great story and themes that many people now would still enjoy it. Plus Bogart's character arc is fantastic, had me interested the whole movie. I really feel he deserved to win an oscar for this movie, I can't believe he wasn't even nominated.
The movie has definitely aged exceptionally well.

Oh, no, I wasn't offended at all dude! I realised that my comment was a little simplistic, especially in comparison to KingofPain's comment. So I gave a better and elaborated explanation on why I think The Muppets is better than Return of the Jedi, and admittedly it sounded a little aggresive. I don't think Return of the Jedi is that great to be honest, even though it's considered by many to be a classic. I'm fine with that, I won't be like 'you are (all) stupid!'. I'm not going to offend anyone just because they have a different opinion / taste than mine. So if you say 'kick-ass sucks ass!' and you have your reasons why, I'll be like 'okay dude, but I love the movie'.And nope: I allow every movie I've seen on my list. Even movies that I think are horrible. So District 9 is not one of my least ' positives', but one of my most ' negatives', if you know what I mean. And also nope: I have not seen a lot of movies yet :p .

It depends on your preference actually. The first Alien is more or less like a haunted house kind of film so if you don't dig the combination of horror and sci-fi then you'll probably hate it. (I'm not sure if that is the reason for you). Aliens on the other hands is more of a sci-fi/action kind of film. It's actually quite entertaining. I wasn't a huge fan of the original Alien when I first saw it but I immediately fell in love with Aliens and it helped me gain a larger respect for the original. I highly recommend that you do see it. It's got action, plenty of good science fiction elements, great acting, and Bill Paxton. What more could you ask for?
Caesar on 5/30/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
Yeah, I didn't much like how Alien was more about scares than action. I'm glad to hear Aliens is a more action-centered movie. I'll try to watch it sometime this week. Thanks for the help. :)

Yeah, I highly recommend checking out The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. When I bought it on Blu-ray last year, I had never seen it before and didn't really know much about it. I purchased it simply because it was cheap and I wanted to add a few older movies to my collection. Well, I watched it and was shocked at how much I loved it. Older movies like that usually bore me, but this one kept me captivated from beginning to end. A very cool movie.

I definitely like a good crime movie. It's funny you should mention Touch of Evil because I was thinking of watching it sometime within the next few days. In the past month or so, I've watched both Citizen Kane and The Third Man for the first time, so I'm interested in seeing more of Orson Welles' work.
I will give freaks a look at if I can find it. Where I live, it's a movie I have never come across. So it may be awhile before I find it. Thanks for the recommendation though!
True, it is a tough one to find. A lot of old movies can be hard to track down.

Hey, thanks for accepting my friend request. :) Here are some movies that I enjoy that probably don't get as much attention as they deserve:Freaks (1932) - It's been in my top 20 for a long time. Most of the cast was comprised of real circus freaks, so it was quite controversial in its day. Ed Wood (1994) - In my opinion, Tim Burton's best film. A good movie about a bad director.Top Hat (1935) - A really good Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers musical comedy. Eight Men Out (1988) - It's a movie about the 1919 Black Sox scandal. A great film to watch for any sports (particularly baseball) fan.Cinderella Man (2005) - A criminally overlooked boxing film. It should have been an Oscar contender, in my opinion.3:10 to Yuma (2007) - Christian Bale and Russell Crowe are both on fire in this. A really good western.Open Range (2003) - Another good western. In Bruges (2008) - A really funny black comedy. Colin Farrell is great in it.

What was your opinion on 8 1/2 and The Conversation?
Caesar on 8/13/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
I hate to say it, but I didn't like either. I plan to rewatch both soon to see if I enjoy them more the second time around (which often happens), but my first impression of both were that they were way too plodding and uneventful.I've been making a concerted effort lately to watch more movies that are in Flickchart's top 100, most of which are older "classic" films. These movies usually don't suit my tastes, but some of them I did like very much.Recent additions that I liked: Strangers on a Train - Very cool movie; probably my third favorite Hitchcock film right now, behind Psycho and Rebecca.Cool Hand Luke - This is a movie that I'm sure I'll like more and more as time goes on.Sunset Blvd. - I liked The Apartment and REALLY liked Double Indemnity, so I was pretty sure I'd enjoy this Billy Wilder film as well. Thankfully, I did.The Night of the Hunter - This movie was just weird...and I liked that; very intriguing film.A Fistful of Dollars - It didn't knock my socks off like I thought it would, but it did keep me entertained throughout.Recent additions that disappointed: Full Metal Jacket - Good first half, second half was crap.Touch of Evil - I watched the 95-min. 1958 theatrical version. I assume the other two versions are better.The Bicycle Thief - It didn't do much for me the first time around, but I do think my opinion of this film could improve after another viewing (Citizen Kane is an example of a movie that worked for me much better when I watched it a second time).The Conversation - Simply put, not enough happens in this movie to hold my attention.8 1/2 - I couldn't find a reason to care about Guido Anselmi and his problem(s), so this movie turned out to be a real chore to watch (me not speaking a lick of Italian didn't help either).The next Flickchart top 100 film on my to-watch list: It's a Wonderful Life.

I had the same reactions to you on The Conversation and 8 1/2. However, I feel a second watch may help with The Conversation. But 8 1/2 Is just too much of a slog for me to even want to attempt it again.Regarding the other movies you have been watching, I had the same reactions to all of the movies, except for Touch of Evil. I really enjoy that movie, it's a shame you didn't. Full Metal Jacket does have a weaker second half imo, but I still enjoyed it greatly. Your comment about Cool Hand Luke is correct. For me, it does get better every time I see it. I just recently finished watching the top 100 myself. There is some great movies in there, and some I don't care much for, like La Dolce Vita. Hope you enjoyed It's a Wonderful Life.
Caesar on 8/14/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
Man, I thought It's a Wonderful Life was just fantastic. I've got it currently ranked #30 on my Flickchart. Great, great movie. The Philadelphia Story is another classic film I watched recently that I forgot to mention earlier. I thought that one was pretty good. The romantic comedy may be the only film genre in which I prefer older movies to newer ones.I haven't given up on Touch of Evil yet. I'm going to give it a second viewing some time soon. I never fully make up my mind on a film until I see it at least twice.Oh boy, I am NOT looking forward to the 3-hour La Dolce Vita. I want to watch the whole top 100 though, so I'm going to force myself to watch it sometime.Are there any top 100 films I haven't seen yet that you would recommend?
shane24 on 8/14/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
I will try my best. Maybe you would like to do a Jack Nicholson double bill? Very different movies, with very different Nicholson performances. Maybe start with Chinatown with calm Nicholson, then follow with unhinged Nicholson. I will recommend not to watch A Clockwork Orange in a bad mood because it probably won't help matters lol. Their is some pretty confronting scenes in that movie.I don't know about La Dolce Vita. Maybe you might want to get it out of the way, or chip away at it. Hopefully you'll actually like it! Personally, I would find it hard to leave it lucky last. Shadow of a Doubt may be the best movie to watch if you don't like them, or another film. It's quite a quick watch, and you like other Hitchcock films. Network has great dialogue and is still relevant even now. The Seventh Seal.... That's tough to judge when to watch, or if you would actually like it. The Big Sleep is easy, if you like The Maltese Falcon, you will like The Big Sleep. Judge accordingly. I enjoyed Paths of Glory, it's a great anti-war film that will probably anger you. You know I like crime films, so On the Waterfront is definitely one I recommend. I'm not the biggest John Wayne fan, but if you have to see one of his films, you can do a lot worse than The Searchers (Red River's not bad too, except for the copout ending) That's about all I have to say, hopefully I've said something helpful lol
Whoa, excellent rundown. Yeah, I might check out those Jack Nicholson movies first. Thanks! :)

What did you think of The Shining?
Caesar on 8/19/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
REDRUM! REDRUM! REDRUM!I liked it. Horror movies don't usually interest me, but The Shining is very cool. There's so much ambiguity in the film, it gives you a lot to think about long after the movie's over. I look forward to seeing it again.
I think I have to watch Chinatown again because I actually think Paths of Glory actually should be ranked higher on my list. I watched Chinatown a while ago and only watched Paths of Glory a couple of months ago, so I need to see it again to accurately rank it.
I watched them both for the first time within the past few days and even I'm not sure which one I liked better. For the moment, I give the edge to Paths of Glory. It's super close, though.
Have you seen The Cabin in the Woods?
Not yet. Is it any good?
I really, really enjoyed it. I won't say much because it's a movie you should watch without spoilers. Keep horror cliches in your mind while watching it.I thought it was a exciting, funny and original.

So, what was your feelings towards A Clockwork Orange?
Caesar on 9/3/2012 Reply · Like · (3 likes)
My feelings toward the film are lukewarm, I'd say. The movie doesn't fail to entertain but, like a lot of Stanley Kubrick's work, the sluggish pacing bugged me a bit.After now seeing six of his films, I've come to the conclusion that Kubrick was a great director, but not a great storyteller. His style is too meandering and self-indulgent. A guy like Steven Spielberg may not knock anyone's socks off with his directorial flair, but that guy knows how to tell a story. Alfred Hitchcock, James Cameron and Christopher Nolan are also filmmakers I'd categorize as "great storytellers."
You make some fair points.
Caesar on 9/3/2012 Reply · Like · (2 likes)
To be fair to Kubrick, it's my own personal tastes that drive my opinion. There are wiser people than I who think he's one of the greatest ever.

The Magnificent Seven is near my top 20, so I should like this one (hopefully).
Maybe third time lucky with ballet if you watch Suspiria ;)

Well, the fountain scene is probably the only one that isn't boring, so I guess it's appropriate that it's the most famous scene. :)Yeah, I did a lot of slumping in my seat. There was also a lot of watch-checking, pouting and questions asked, like "Why is this three hours? It's just a guy going to parties and talking to people! Nothing ever happens! Why? Why? Why?"
I just looked at where you placed La Dolce Vita, ha! You must REALLY hate Birth of a Nation. I interested, what did you like better from 8 1/2 than La Dolce Vita? Was it because it didn't take as much of your soul? :)
It's close, but I think The Birth of a Nation is even more tedious than La Dolce Vita. Silent-era films usually bore me, so a three-hour one is bound to be pure torture. D.W. Griffith's other three-hour snoozer, Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, is also near the very bottom of my list. They're just wretched.Yeah, La Dolce Vita is ranked lower simply because it's longer. :)

I want to know Caesar, what's driving you to see all these top movies? I find it an amazing effort to watch them so constantly when you hate quite a few of them. Does it make it all worthwhile if you see something that you would never of seen if you weren't working your way down the list?

In truth, some of these "top" movies are ones that I've already seen (like All the President's Men, for example). I'm a bit weird when it comes to ranking movies...basically, if I'm not quite sure where to rank something, I'll simply click "Haven't Seen It" and think about that movie another time. I'm sure I've seen over 1000 movies, yet I currently only have 547 movies ranked on Flickchart. Like I said, I'm a bit weird. :)As far as the recently-ranked ones I haven't seen, I just feel compelled to watch them because they are so short and so easy to find online. Breathless, for example, was only about 85 minutes. I figure, if it's that short, why not check it out?While it's true that many of the "top" movies on Flickchart are ones that I'm bound not to like, I'm still very curious to see them.
I don't think you will like The Rules of the Game either.

Have you ever heard of a documentary called The Final Member? I just did, and it's sounds crazy to say the least. It's about a penis museum......... Yep. A Guy near the Arctic circle has spent 40 years collecting mammal specimens, now he just needs one more. A humans!! And two have volunteered!! Here's a question, who do you thinks crazier, the collector or the volunteers?
Assuming they're volunteering to part with their "little buddies" while they're still alive (ouch!), I'd say the volunteers are crazier.
''little buddies'' funny. :)
I'll bet the documentary itself is pretty funny too. :)
The only way I would watch it is if does actually have some comedy elements to the doc.
Me too.

It's not bad, but there's nothing about it that's terribly impressive either. What stands out about the film the most is how light it is on dialogue; there are very long stretches in the film where nothing at all is said. I actually found that refreshing.Basically, I would simply describe the film as mildly interesting and just entertaining enough to avoid the "BORING" label. :)

Oh, my top 100 has quite a few films that are not exactly critically acclaimed: Con Air, The Rock, National Treasure, The Fast and the Furious, Transformers, Clash of the Titans, Rocky IV, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time...Admittedly, the brainless action-adventure flick has long been a weakness of mine.
So I see. Big Nicolas Cage fan are we?
Hell yeah.
Um, I guess that's one way of looking at it.
Bear in mind that when I say Nicolas Cage is a genius, I'm about 60 percent joking. Cage rules, though.

Yeah, that's the tough part of watching movies based on some list; inevitably you will have to watch a movie you'd like to avoid. Believe me, it took all the patience and self-discipline I could muster just to sit through La Dolce Vita.
Lol. I haven't seen that one. Its true I only have to watch it once but its more complicated than that. I have OCD, so if I've seen 3 movies in a franchise, I have to watch all of them. Which means Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the next one they are working on.

Ahh, but I didn't know that. I guess in the end you're right, but I still don't think the plothole / continiuity error is THAT bad. I guess you can 'fix' the error by 'filling in the gaps'. I still think the 'playing along' theory works, EVEN when the producers clearly didn't intend such a thing. James Bond disguises himself all the time, sometimes succesfully and sometimes not so succesfully. If the bad guy knew it was Bond from the start all along, it's a fresh, surprising twist in the franchise up to that point. It wasn't intended that way, no, but it still kind of works. And it does fit the Bond character, since he always thinks he can get away or infiltrate with just a labcoat or something. MOST movies, anyway. It's not nearly as bad as Han shooting second, because it does fit the character if we consider the other movies part of the same franchise. And please don't think I was angry, insulted or trying to convince you to like it. I discuss about (little) things in movies all the time. With Cleckley on The Dark Knight vs The Avengers, and with Boonmee on Independence Day vs District 9. If they like a movie I dislike or the other way around, so be it. It is and was never my intention to insult someone for just (dis)liking a movie. But if they make points I don't agree with or points I have something to say about, then I'll respond. Freedom of speech ;). If you want to stop the discussion, that's fine by me. Just as I stopped on the Dark Knight vs The Avengers discussion, I got tired, lol.

Diamonds Are Forever is probably my next one. A while back, I decided I wanted to see all of the James Bond series, from Dr. No to Die Another Day (I'd already seen the Daniel Craig films). I gave up after Thunderball, then I gave up again after On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Now I figure I'll watch all of them, but I'll just take my sweet time doing it. Most of these Bond films range from mediocre to just plain bad, so they're harder to watch than I thought. :)
Oh, I'm guessing you will like Deer Hunter, maybe not the start with the wedding, but rest you probably will. Lawrence of Arabia is fine, but I think it will be too long for you. I don't think you will like All About Eve, and The Passion of Joan of Arc is still LOOMING!!! ;)
I recently watched a Russian silent film from 1913 called Twilight of a Woman's Soul. Now THAT was a boring movie. The Passion of Joan of Arc has to be better than that one. :)
I keep thinking I'm finished when I'm not!!!!! I completely agree with you with your comment in the matchup Some Like it Hot vs. The Hangover. I bet back then I would of found it hilarious, but now, it left me stone faced. Even though I found some parts funny from the first two, I would throw The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday and Adam's Rib (one I don't think you will enjoy if you haven't seen it) in the same category as Some Like it Hot.
I definitely agree on all of those movies (though I haven't seen Adam's Rib). I do still enjoy these movies, at least moderately so, because their stories are usually pretty strong - I just don't find them very funny. Of course, in 50 years, The Hangover probably won't seem very funny either. Comedy just isn't timeless.

I kinda stumbled upon it online. I had never seen a feature-length film that old (1913!) and the quality was quite good, so I gave it a look. The film is quite bold for its time considering the issues it touches upon (rape, murder, suicide), but its entertainment value is almost nil. So many pre-1930s films have been lost that I really appreciate the ones that are still in existence, even though I find them pretty dreadful to watch.

Ah yes, The Spy Who Loved Me is great; it's the best of Roger Moore, in my opinion. In many ways, it is his 'Goldfinger'. It is one of the most iconic entries in the franchise: the henchman is the most memorable in the franchise, the opening theme is great (and set the standard for future Bond movies) and some of the action sequences are amazing. A high increase in quality after the cheap-looking TMwtGG.

Is Life of Pi worth watching in the cinema for the 3d? It doesn't come out in Australia until January, and I live four hours from the cinema. So I will have a choice between Life of Pi, The Hobbit, Wreck-It Ralph, Les Miserables, Sightseers, Jack Reacher,Gangster Squad and Paranorman. Not sure if I would like to see some of them, but they are my options. At most I will see four. Got to make it worth it when i live so far away!

To be honest, I find 3D very distracting, so I saw Life of Pi in 2D. Even so, it was probably the most visually impressive movie I've seen in a theater since Avatar. If you're into 3D cinema, you'll probably want to see this movie in a theater. However, if you're indifferent towards 3D, you can probably just wait for it to come out on DVD. It's definitely a good film, but some of those movies you listed are probably more "must-see" (like The Hobbit and Les Miserables). So, again, I guess it all depends on how much you like 3D.
I'm a fan of good 3d, which their isn't much of. Anything that's post converted is a waste of time, like The Green Hornet, which I could watch large parts of without the glasses. The other badthing about 3d is the glasses. Not only does it feel annoying wearing them, they're disgusting! It was found that, even on the glasses in closed plastic, there is dangerous levels of germs that are linked to skin infections, conjunctivitis and pneumonia ! :(
Yeah, I'll only see something in 3D if the person(s) I'm going with insists upon it. I just have a harder time absorbing the story being told when it's in 3D, for some reason.
I see you saw The Passion of Joan of Arc. I hope you enjoyed it more than I did.

North by Northwest has the most thrills but, bear in mind, it's about a half hour longer than Psycho; so if you like your thrillers a bit leaner, Psycho may be the way to go. You can't go wrong with either, really.Hope this helps. :)

Yeah, I REALLY didn't like Brazil (I watched the 132-minute version). It's just so meandering and boring and, well, just plain awful. It's possible I'm being too hard on it because I expected it to be about as good as his previous film, Time Bandits (a movie I've always liked). It wasn't.
I simply like the movie, but I agree that the movie can be quite boring at times. The dream sequences seem to take FOREVER and are way too long. But I do like the cinematography, I like the lead, I like the over-the-top 1984-esque things in it and I like the ending a lot. I like it better than 12 Monkeys and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, but I don't like it as much as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a film so weird and confusing yet so memorable and awesome at the same time that it is a big guilty pleasure and actually one of my favorite movies. I doubt you will like that one though.

I had to think about this one a bit. The movie does reference God a lot, but it's mostly just your standard survival film about a boy and a tiger. I'd say most non-religious folks wouldn't have a problem with it.
I can take the religious stuff if that's not the only thing going for it. Have you read how they did the tiger? Sounds interesting. I think I'll be watching it this week, I'll tell you what I thought. Also, did you watch this in 2d or 3d? I'm guessing 2d from previous comments.

I don't like CGI much but, I must admit, that tiger in the film looked perfect. Yeah, I saw it in 2D.
I just found it interesting that some of the tiger has been motion captioned.
Yeah, the visual effects team on that film definitely earned their paychecks.
What's your thoughts on The Last Picture Show?
It's one of those aimless, plotless, pointless movies that corrode my soul. It's just awful. I really wish Flickchart would change the way they rank movies back to how it was before. The overall quality of films I watched was better back then.

I watched Life of Pi and I thought it was fantastic. The religion didn't bother me because it was Pi discovering what he believes. I was worried it would become preachy to the audience, but I felt it didn't.For me, it wasn't just a standard survival movie about a boy and tiger. I believe the truth is the darker story, despite me wishing it wasn't. I was enjoying the boy and the tiger so much, that I didn't want to face the facts. That's my take on it, I'm sure their is others.The 3d was amazing, some of the best I've ever seen. I don't know what it looked like in 2d, but the boat going down was jaw dropping. Also, anything at night that was reflecting on the water was amazing to see.

Yep, that's Bronson. It's been a long road trying to get a picture to work. It wouldn't even let me access the page at my house. I would click on the upload image button and the page would freeze, with my computer and iPad. Then I tried my sister's. The page didn't freeze, looking good, found a picure, great, lined it up, awesome, no! The image doesn't save, and si ply disappears. I finally had success at a friends where I had no trouble at all. I want to see the movies you mentioned, plus The Place Beyond the Pines and I'm hopeful for Dead Man Down, not sure yet 100%. Only God Forgives has potential too with Gosling and Winding Refn reuniting after Drive.

I bet it's not. :)
Surrealism in cinema usually gets a negative reaction out of me. To me, it's too much of a "cheat". Somebody can just throw together a bunch of nonsensical, meaningless garbage and people will call it brilliant, simply because it can be categorized as "surrealist". Abstract expressionism is another "cheat" to me. Seriously, if Jackson Pollock is a genius, then so is every four-year-old who ever got their hands on some Crayola paints, because it all looks the same.Yeah, give me a movie plot with a standard three-act structure every time. It'll always be the best way to tell a story.End of rambling rant. ;)
I liked that rambling rant, especially the Jackson Pollock part. :)
Despite my anti-surrealism bias, I still intend to see Eraserhead someday soon.
Ha! I just pictured the people who would hang around looking at Jackson Pollock art. That's no place for me. :) but I must admit I would rather look at that than the modern art they do now, ridiculous! One I saw was three blank canvases hanging on a wall.... And people were looking at that, what's to look at! End of my rant.
Oh, I agree 100 percent with that.
After what you've been writng, I think Eraserhead will be a major slog for you. Especially anything in 'space' or that fucking annoying baby thing.
Yeah, you were right. That movie just didn't fit my sensibilities at all. Oh well, at least I can say I've seen the darn thing. :)

Yeah, I don't get the love for this movie. The basic plot for the film is that the two brothers want to save their old orphanage, they want to get their band back together in order to raise the money, and they hold a concert and get the money. That's about 90 minutes worth of plot. Why the hell was this movie more than 40 minutes longer than that? There was just too much garbage in the film that didn't need to be in there.Anyway, I'm probably going to watch Heat tomorrow. Now that looks like a movie I can enjoy. I can't believe I've never seen a Michael Mann movie before; that's kind of weird.
I personally love Heat. De Niro and Pacino are two of my favourite actors when they were younger. Then they were finally onscreen together, just before careers declined. Plus it has Val Kilmer with a ponytail, an added bonus. :)
Damn, I was hoping Kilmer would have the classic Top Gun flat top. ;)

Yeah, I need to give Throne of Blood another viewing sometime in the future. I still haven't decided how much I like it (if at all).
Have you seen Quigley Down Under Caesar? Like Open Range, I find it's a totally underrated western that features a cast with Tom Selleck, Alan Rickman and Ben Mendelsohn. It can be quite goofy at times,
Hmm, I've heard of the movie, but I haven't seen it.
Sorry, hit the button. So, it's goofy at times, yet sad and distressing also. I just love Tom Selleck as a sniper lost in the outback. Alan Rickman is also great as the villain who hires Quigley for a job, until Quigley finds out the disturbing details of why he was hired. The only thing annoys me about the film is Laura San Giacomo as crazy Corra, such an annoying character, she does get better though.Yet the rest of the film makes up for it imo. I must admit, nostalgia plays a part in me liking it, I must of seen it 15 times when I was younger. It's not as good as Open Range, but if you like westerns, I reckon it's worth a look someday. Plus, it features the actor who played my uncle in a play.
Ooh, Alan Rickman makes for a great villain (Die Hard!).
He's a pretty despicable character in Quigley
To me, he'll always be Hans Gruber. That character is right up there with Darth Vader, Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Heath Ledger's version of the Joker as the greatest movie villains ever.

Man, I wasn't ready for the jump in tone! The Return is so cheesy, I hated it. This one was super violent and extremely dark. Made for me basically :) In fact, I wouldn't recommend it because it borders on being a horror movie, especially the start. I'll actively go looking for Universal Soldier: Regeneration now. It's the same director that did Day of Reckoning.

When I was watching this, I wasn't expecting an action movie but I was expecting a great movie that is paced well. When a film starts with 3 minutes of black screen and then 15 minutes of apes evolving, a movie bores me too! I mean, then we see a ship orbitting around space for minutes...Its a pity because I love some of Kubrick's movies, mainly The Shining and A Clockwork Orange, both movies I just love but he really got far too carried away with the visuals...I honestly don't get how people think that this movie is great and yet, bash on movies that are a bit drawn out...like say the Hobbit...I mean seriously!?!?I'm glad that we do share similar tastes in films! I'm surprised you didn't like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' Is there any reason? Sorry for the extremely long comment! :)

I love a strong villain in a movie too! The Nolan Batman movies do that fantastically, especially how Bane is able to overpower Batman physically. I loved the idea how Ra's Al Ghul challenged Batman emotionally, The Joker strategically and how Bane just challenges him by physically overwhelming him! Is Benedict Cumberbatch announced to play John Harrison or is it still anonymous. I looked at IMDb a few days ago, and it says John Harrison/Khan.I personally don't want him to be Khan but an all new villain with his own intent. Khan was fantastic thoughWell, I used to have the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy at 1, 2 and 3...Now, that was a fanboy...I was extremely disappointed during my first watching, but I decided to re-watch it when I had a Batman marathon (if you call it!) at the end of the year and loved it a whole lot more but there were many issues I had with it. That being said, it was truly a great and entertaining 2 hrs 45 minutes for the most part! Funnily enough, believe it or not, I just finished re-watching the Dark Knight a few hours ago and it shifted on my chart from 40 to 14! That's what a great movie does (though I cannot help but feel its still overrated) Funnily enough, I watched Thor yesterday for the first time and currently, I'm watching all the Avengers set up movies so that I am fully aware of everything happening in the Avengers when I re-watch it. I wasn't pleased the first time around and I know, it'll be a lot like my experiences with the Dark Knight Rises

Hey! It looks like our tastes are a bit different, but I love to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Star Trek so high. Because our lists look different, I'm really interested in what you'd recommend... excluding Rocky and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which I'm saving for a special occasion.
I think you should check out Blood Simple.

Always nice to see any amount of Star Wars in a top 20 :D

What's your opinion on The Beatles music? If you don't like the music, I would think that you wouldn't like their movie.

I'm avoiding the new Star Trek trailer, did you see it? If you did, without spoilers, does it look amazing!?

In my opinion...... Big time! I really loved it! I'm not happy with a story development but it doesn't ruin it for me. I won't say much, because I don't want to spoil.
Haha, did you want to watch something lighthearted after watching Kids? :)

Hey Caesar, how you been? Star Trek coming so soon!!! What were your thoughts on the 3rd trailer that came out recently? Also, what did you think of the new Man of Steel trailer?
I don't know, you seem let down by Star Trek right? It's perfectly understandable. I loved how the newest Trek trailer cut down on Benedict footage! I thought that maybe they were showing too much but loved how the focus of this trailer was on the intensity and the real darkness! I'm pumped and I can't wait to see Star Trek (2009) in preparation!

Yeah I remember seeing that 'Gooble Gobble, one of us, we accept her' scene before and thinking how odd lol. Will have to watch it now.

You need to check out The Great Escape. If you loved The Magnificent Seven, you'll really love the prison epic.

Were many Americans annoyed that they got Iron Man 3 a week later?

I'm glad you didn't hear complaints. You guys have it good compared to everywhere else. Sometimes I'm still waiting for a movie three months from when Americans get it.

Finally saw Star Trek '09...Mindblowing in every aspect to say the least!! Crushes all previous Trek films for me, even Khan!! How excited are you for Star Trek: Into Darkness? No matter what, I doubt it'll beat the '09 one! What do you think?
Yeah, I doubt it'll top the brilliance of '09. But it should be in my top 50!!

Hey thanks for the add! I noticed you have all three of the original Star Wars films in your top 11, what is your opinion on Disney and their attempt at episodes 7-9?

Why didn't you like Sanjuro, Caesar?
I can't believe you watched Eraserhead twice! Great effort. :D

Haha! You watched Stalker! Surprisingly, I liked it a bit, but i totally understand why you hated it. It's totally against what you like. Man, you'll hate Holy Mountain even more when you get to it!
Spooky, I'm watching Solaris too. :D
LOL!!! I think I might like it more than the first one! Cumberbatch was just frickin' badass in this film

Mr. Caesar when I said fuck you I wasn't referring to your love of Batman and Robin. I think its an underated and very funny film. I was actually trying to tell you how much of a fucking idiot you are. I can't believe the stupid things you type in discussions. Bye the way its shows how immature you are to retort with a homophobic handjob joke.

Hi Josh,First off, I'm not sure the guy who types comments like "FUCK YOU Caesar" is the correct person to be scolding others for being immature. Secondly, my joke was merely my playful way of telling you you're taking things way too seriously...and, apparently, you still are. Thirdly, Sean Young is a woman, so I'm not sure how my joke could be taken as "homophobic."Sure, I type a lot of silly comments in the discussions. A lot of us do. The site is meant to be fun, so we treat it as such. If you have a problem with that, then perhaps Flickchart isn't the place for you.

I didn't know who Sean Young was my mistake. Should have googled her before typing that comment. With the name Sean I assumed it was a man. I admit that my "FUCK YOU Caesar" comment was immature. I typed it because I was messing around and didn't think you would reply. And when you did I wanted to try and start an argument. I was trying to make things more interesting. Flickchart was getting a bit boring so I've been interacting with other users more. I'm sorry.

Yo Caesar, how did you get an internet connection in the woods? Is James Franco a nice guy in real life?
