Cool list.Some great movies there.

Well, I've been rearranging the last couple of weeks on the list with the motto: 'Less "This is a good movie / This is flawless / This is (considered) a masterpiece" and more "HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS MOVIE".' Because that's what my 'favourite movies of all time'-list should look like, at least in my opinion. Biggest winners: Planet Terror, Fight Club, Snatch, Midnight in Paris. Biggest losers: Apocalypse Now, Inglourious Basterds, The Shawshank Redemption.

Nice top ten. It's interesting to see Kick-Ass so high on someone's list. I need to see it again.

Hey thanks for the friend request my list isn't exactly up to date but you can check it out for some suggestions. Nice list though.

Thanks for confirming the add, lol. I really like your top 10 although I have yet to see Amadeus or Snatch (they are both in my Netflix queue). Sometime later on I was thinking of watching Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch as I've heard that they're more or less connected with one another.

In all honesty, I really hated Kick-Ass and I'm not even sure why. I think I just had too much hype going for it. The film is now on-demand so I'm thinking of giving it a fresh new look.

In other news, I am a huge fan of Empire, Se7en, Back to the Future, Fellowship of the Ring, and Big Lebowski. I love all of them dearly.

I LOVE No Country For Old Men. LOVE IT! I've seen it numerous amounts of times and it gets better with every viewing and I highly recommend that you check it out as soon as you can. I also really love the Social Network. Aside from Pulp Fiction, I believe that it has some of the best writing around.

I've been thinking of giving Kick-Ass another look within the next week or so. If I end up watching it and my view of it changes, I'll let you know. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with having Planet Terror in your top 20. It's one insanely enjoyable flick.

I'll also check out Snatch within the next week too as well as Lock & Stock. I think they will be my first Guy Ritchie films as I haven't seen the Sherlock Holmes movies yet.

Reelz on 5/21/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

I had no idea he produced those too. If I like them both enough, then I suppose that'll give me another reason to rewatch Kick-Ass.

Death Proof was pretty good but nowhere near the awesomeness of Planet Terror. It has that normal Tarantino feel with all the dialogue and everything, so I suppose that's why I still really liked it.

Oh, and I plan on trying to watch Lock & Stock tonight, and since you haven't seen it yet, I'll let you know how I felt about it.

Reelz on 5/23/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

You know, Lock & Stock and Snatch have both got to be some of the most fun I have had while watching a film in a very long time. Snatch is my favorite of the two and is now my number 5 while Lock & Stock sits comfortably at number 11. Snatch is more or less like Lock & Stock and it was great seeing that same formula again. Some of the actors in Snatch, like Vinnie Jones and Statham, are in it and they more or less play the same type of characters as they do in Snatch except with different names and personalities.

Ritchie's filmmaking reminded me a lot of Quentin Tarantino and there were often times while I was watching Snatch that I was reminded of Pulp Fiction and how the story was interwoven in between everyone. Brilliant stuff. I also found myself laughing in Snatch more often than I would while watching an actual comedy film.

Thanks for the recommendation though! I really loved both of them. Now you need to check out Lock & Stock, lol.

On a side note, I LOVED Vinnie Jones in both films. He was definitely my favorite. I gotta check out more films with him now.

Maybe I had a different liking of it because I saw it before Snatch and I didn't have to compare it. I don't know. I'm sure you'll like No Country better because you won't have anything to compare it to, lol. Just be warned that the ending is hard to swallow and it often ruins a person's perspective of it.

And just out of curiosity, how is In Bruges? It's seriously been in my Netflix queue for over a year and it just keeps getting boggled down by other countless films and TV shows I also have in there. It seems really cool.

I'm really glad you enjoyed No Country. It does improve upon viewings as you're able to catch more than meets the eye and you'll more than likely gain an even greater appreciation for it. What did you think of the ending by the way? It seems to be the only thing that causes people to hate it.

I just watch In Bruges as well. Simply fantastic. It's now in the number 15 spot on my chart. I received the DVD from Netflix and I'm most likely going to keep it for a few more days to catch another viewing or two of it. I loved all three actors and I seemed to like Fiennes the most because he was able to portray an extremely likable but completely evil dude, almost like Anton Chigurh! Farrell and Gleeson were excellent too. I do enjoy dark humor quite a bit and I found myself laughing quite a lot, especially with the whole "They're filming midgets!" scene. It was also very depressing, lol.

Another film I think you should check out whenever you have the chance is Children of Men. It stunned me like no film before it. It also has one of the best stories that I have ever seen in a film and some incredible acting by Clive Owen. I highly recommend it.

Reelz on 6/2/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (2 likes)

The ending I was talking about was the dream discussion with Tommy Lee Jones. I think I've come to my own little conclusion that what Jones is talking about in the second dream is the fact that his father is waiting for him whenever he dies, or something like that.

I agree with what you said about the abrupt ending and how it just leaves you to think. It really seems that this generation of filmgoers don't appreciate the idea of thinking. and they would rather have everything play out for them in the most linear arrangement possible. It's quite sad.

My mouth was wide open with many of the action scenes in Kick-Ass. Nic Cage warehouse scene, and that music, awesome! Bazooka part, awesome! Everything with Hit Girl, awesome! Your right, not many people have it as high as we do. I just love crazy action movies, that's why Shoot Em Up is so high as well. Is it better than Taxi Driver, (my number 11) no. Do I enjoy it better, yes, slightly. As far as Sin City goes, oh well :)

I guess you can call it Bugs Bunny vs Elmer Fudd lol. Plus the sex scene is crazy, but for me, not the best part of the movie. I really enjoyed the inventive ways Smith kills bad guys. Plus the humour that comes from his overreactions to rude people. I also enjoy Paul Giamatti's self aware character Hertz. He's seen the 80's action movies and knows what not to do.

You really liked "KICK-ASS" THAT much?

PiccoloKing on 6/10/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (3 likes)

Whoops!Sorry about that.

I've changed my mind after watching Fight Club again recently.I think I like it more than Zodiac.Zodiac's second viewing was quite tedious.Perhaps it was because of its length.It's still pretty good though.

Fight Club is a bit misunderstood I feel.People tend to jump on the Tyler bandwagon too quickly.Judging by the second half and the narrator's behavior in it,I don't think Fight Club endorses Tyler's philosophy at all.The film is more ironic than people think.As Tyler,he was in fact f**king Marla but as the narrator downstairs,he was imagining how he used to pass messages between his parents.I think there's a similar explanation for the car crash scene.By then,members of Project Mayhem had accepted that Tyler was a bit of a charismatic loon.But as a satire,I'll still take American Psycho over Fight Club.

There Will Be Blood was awesome.Easily the best movie of the 00's for me.You'll like it even more on repeat viewings.For me the film was more about Daniel's loneliness and frustration at not being able to accept and trust people with whom he didn't have blood relations rather than the whole greed vs religion angle.That would explain the title of the film.But no matter what the interpretation,it's still brilliant.

Reelz on 6/11/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (2 likes)

Yeah, Prometheus is terribly split between audiences. I really think you should try and give it a viewing before it goes onto Blu-Ray because the film is so damn awesome and monstrous in the theater.

PiccoloKing on 6/14/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (3 likes)

Oh yes absolutely.The greed vs religion angle was very much part of the film.I just don't think it was the central theme.

There Will Be Blood works on multiple levels.It draws a parallel between Daniel's greed and the capitalistic views of society today.Viewers can on some level connect with the complex relationship between Daniel and H.W.The film also revealed a disturbing facet of the father-son relationship toward the end.Eli's example is used to depict that there are no shortcuts to success no matter what the profession.The horror sub-genre was handled bravely by PTA.Aside from the visual metaphors and the depth of dialogue,the film also analyzes various issues that are still relevant today and gives a more personal touch to aspects of the movie with which the viewer can relate.It's one of the few movies worth a good discussion.

P.S-You really should check out Taxi Driver.It's a masterpiece!

Watched and listened to his opinion, didn't agree with most of it.

Your first mistake was actually listening to the Nostalgia Critic. He's like the anti-christ to people who like to watch movies; he's just seen so much that he can find something to hate about absolutely anything.

Your second mistake was the fact that, if you did in fact see District 9, you probably watched the Nostalgia Critic's review beforehand and then you watched the film with strong hatred and bias. I did the same with Avatar.
You shouldn't subject yourself to anything if you have bias beforehand.

And on a side note, I didn't care for or agree with his opinions on Moulin Rouge either.
Although he says over and over that he gets it, he missed the objective of both films.

Been a long time since I had a chat with you bro. Yeah TDKR was excellent. Absolutely loved it. It's definitely the biggest of the series in terms of scale. The threat that Gotham faces is huge and unprecedented. Bane is easily Batman's toughest challenge yet. It WILL HAVE ITS DETRACTORS, THOUGH.

I think TDKR is easily the least realistic of the series but also the most entertaining. BB is an origin story, TDK is a crime thriller and TDKR is a flat out war movie. Unlike TDK, which relied heavily on The Joker, all the performances are strong and nobody really overshadows the others although I do believe JGL's acting was standout. The fight scenes, chase sequences and those little twists and turns will have you at the edge of your seat. Overall, a great conclusion to an epic trilogy. My opinion may change in the future but for now, TDKR is the best of the three.

Don't miss it. Do watch it and give me your feedback.

Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to let my feeling of TDKR set in for awhile. I absolutely loved it, plotholes or not. I felt that it was a great end to a great trilogy and Bane was a great villain despite sounding a bit like Gandalf. I agree with you in saying that the ending is the best part, and that final scene had my head buzzing for hours afterwards. I loved it.

When was the last time you saw Begins?

Hey, MysticSpoon. Yeah, I partially like the Transformers movies for that reason. The main reason I like Transformers (I have it currently ranked #58) is its humor. The dialogue in the film is very funny, I think. That movie could have been a complete failure (talking alien robots that transform into cars?) if they tried to play the whole thing as super-serious. But the movie doesn't take itself too seriously and, thus, the movie works.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a better representation of what I was talking about in the District 9/Independence Day matchup. I know the Transformers sequel is a bloated, awful mess yet I still give it a decent ranking (currently #160). When it comes to sci-fi, I'm just easy to please.

Oh good. I'm glad to see that you liked it. I also enjoyed Se7en a little more but you really can't top Hopkins' performance in SotL. It's revolutionary.

And to answer your question, Black Dynamite is one of the funniest films I've seen in the last decade. It's a mock of the old 70's blaxploitation films, if you didn't already know, but also feels like a third wheel to the Grindhouse movies because of how it's filmed. I suppose it does depend on your preference of comedy but I found myself laughing out loud quite a lot. The last film that had that much of an impact on me was Snatch and you already know how great that one is.

On a side note, how much are you into black and white movies?

"At long last, our friendship bonded by the struggle against The Man has been brought to an end by kung-fu treachery!"

I had heard about Seven Psychopaths before and just now checked out the trailer. It looks awesome and sort of reminds me of Snatch, which is good. I also really like the line-up of stars. Dredd actually looks really cool and reminds me somewhat of The Raid: Redemption. Skyfall looks amazing and since it's directed by Sam Mendes, who directed American Beauty and Road to Perdition, I feel that it'll probably have a deeper and darker story. The extra plus is that Javier Bardem is the villain and I'm hoping that he uses an air gun to execute his victims. End of Watch looks promising as well as Lincoln. The film that I have high hopes for is Looper. Critics are saying it's the best sci-fi flick since Children of Men and that it has a fantastic story. It looks awesome.
As for The Hobbit, I'm not sure what to think of Jackson splitting it into three films. I trust that he'd be the type of director that's not just trying to drain our wallets for triple the admission price.

And nice picture change. You can never go wrong with Indy.

I know what you mean, I'm currently in the Roger Moore era myself, great series indeed. Hopefully we'll both finish before Skyfall premieres. Good luck!

Like Aquascape, I see that you're having yourself a bit of a 007 marathon. I am also glad to see you have Goldfinger ranked the highest. I've only seen a good handful of the series, but that was definitely my favorite out of the ones that I saw. Craig's version of Casino Royale was right up there with it too. But yeah, Skyfall looks awesome.

And if things go to plan this weekend, I'm hoping to catch a viewing of Seven Psychopaths. I've been more excited for it than with most of the other bigger movies to come out this year, lol. I've read somewhere that it's like a mix of Pulp Fiction and In Bruges; dialogue and dark comedy wise. I'm really looking forward to it.

Ooh... The Intouchables is actually a movie I've kinda been avoiding. I know that audience reception has been strong, but from what I've seen and read of it, it strikes me as one of those typical uplifting/inspirational dramas that tries too hard to pull on your heartstrings. It reminds me of something like Rain Man meets The Bucket List.
I'm sorry. I'm probably coming off as very snobby. I really do appreciate your recommendations (And I welcome them!), I'm just not terribly excited about seeing that particular film. I may be wrong, but if it's nearly as sentimental as that trailer suggests, I'll be rolling my eyes all the way through.
You seem to have a good understanding of my taste, though, so maybe I'll give it a shot when it releases on DVD.

I remember when I saw that handful of Bond films. It was a couple of years ago when I was around the age of 13. My attention span wasn't as great with films as it is now, so I only got through Dr. No up until Thunderball (which I think I turned off midway through). I had recorded all of the films and since I was so bored of them back then, I would just fast forward through each one until the villain popped up, I would watch the fight, and then repeat. One of my favorite villains was Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He was a lot of fun to watch. I gotta find the whole series on DVD somewhere for a cheap price. When does Skyfall release in theaters for you guys?

Even if they aren't all the seven psychopaths, I could care less. They're all a great ensemble cast and I'm really looking forward to seeing Farrell, Rockwell, and Walken all working together with that Shih-Tzu.

Saw Seven Psychopaths yesterday and it was awesome. It wasn't quite as good as In Bruges, in my opinion, but it was damn near close. Walken was my favorite and Rockwell was a close second. It's darkly funny, weird as hell, and entertaining. It sorta has that same dark humor that was present in In Bruges. I'm not sure if you'll like it as much as that film, but it is enjoyable.

Hey there! Yes I went to the premiere of Skyfall last night. It was great! Definitely in the top 5 James Bond movies.
The theme song together with the intro was amazing, one of the best since Goldeneye.
A very dark James Bond film unlike the others, with a couple of surprise at the end.
The action was constant, I didn't really felt like it took over 2 hours. Great cinematography and directing by Mendes and a very well made introduction of Javier Bardem's villain character.
All-in-all an excellent film for all Bond fans, old and new. A definite go!

I'm not sure why you're getting so bent out of shape over our difference of opinion, but the continuity problem of OHMSS that I pointed out is fairly well known...

JamesBond.wikia.com:

"The film contains the worst continuity error in the history of the Bond film series, in that Blofeld fails to recognize the lightly-disguised Bond when they meet again. Although both characters are played by different actors, they had met in the previous film, You Only Live Twice. Since the order of the movie adventures is the reverse of the novels, On Her Majesty's Secret Service marks the enemies' first confrontation in the novel series. This error originated in abandoned plans to open On Her Majesty's Secret Service with Bond undergoing plastic surgery to hide from his enemies (his faked death in Japan, in the previous adventure, having been unsuccessful). The intention was to help the audience accept the new in actor in the role, and so allow an unrecognizable Bond to infiltrate Blofeld's hideout."

mi6-hq.com:

"Blofeld fails to recognize Bond, even though the two met face-to-face in the previous film, "You Only Live Twice" (1967). The one draft of the script for "O.H.M.S.S." began with Bond having his face altered via plastic surgery (to explain the change of lead actor). This idea was dropped, but in doing so it created this continuity problem later in the film. The root cause of the issue is the producer's decision to shoot the films in a different order to Ian Fleming's original novels."

BondMovies.com:

"The producers tried to stay as true to the original novel as possible, explaining why Blofled didn't recognize Bond, the S.P.E.C.T.R.E trilogy was Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, then You Only Live Twice."

At the end of the day, we can just agree to disagree on this one. It's cool that you enjoyed OHMSS, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. :)

I agree 100% with Roger Ebert when he says, "There Will Be Blood is the kind of film that is easily called great. I am not sure of its greatness. It was filmed in the same area of Texas used by No Country for Old Men, and that is a great film, and a perfect one. But There Will Be Blood is not perfect, and in its imperfections (its unbending characters, its lack of women or any reflection of ordinary society, its ending, its relentlessness) we may see its reach exceeding its grasp. Which is not a dishonorable thing."

PiccoloKing on 12/12/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Apocalypse Now was about war so I don't think women really mattered there. Blood explores the foundational framework of society today and maybe that's why Ebert sees the lack of female characters as a flaw. You can't fairly examine the negatives of a patriarchal society (which TWBB does) without women. Anyways, the dude has a hard on for Citizen Kane and I assume Blood's similarities with it pisses him off. I'm really confused where to place it on my list now. It's not going out of my top 20, but I don't want it in my fab 5 either. I will think about it.

PiccoloKing on 12/13/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Your point is completely valid but I believe the oil vs religion battle is also there to analyze how America, a then unexplored land of opportunity, came to be how it is today...to explore its societal origins. The emerging wave of capitalism and the already established authority of religious cults were both very attractive ideas at the turn of the century. It was a question of which of the two forces would society eventually embrace: the practicality and materialistic ambition of opportunism or the the spiritual peace of believing in God. As both Plainview and Eli are total wrecks by the end of the film, the film provides us with no clear answer. So Ebert feels it's necessary to include at least one major female character in a film that is set in a period when new ways of life were still relatively in development...considering how women play a crucial role in today's world... Or maybe his reasons for including women are different. One can only speculate.

P.S. - I still think it's an excellent film but the drop in love is undeniable.

Actually quite recently I've been discovering which movies I really love (The Shining) and which movies are just kinda overrated but are still enjoyable (The Dark Knight). My top 10 is still in the middle of a catastrophe of rearranging itself, but I hope to get it under control sometime soon. I think it looks pretty good in its current state actually.

Yes, Kubrick is a genius and he's my favorite director. I love all of his movies and I haven't found a single film of his (even his short films) that I've come to dislike. Like I told shane24, I wrote a paper on Kubrick for my first English course in my first semester of college a couple of months back. I ended up buying this huge book on him that covers his life leading up to him making films, his process of making his films, and the aftermaths of every one of them. I learned a hell of a lot about him that I didn't know before. For an example, did you know that he had a huge obsession with chess? That's the reason why the game is always present in the majority of his films. I'm trying to complete his filmography on here (I only have two films left), and that way I can clearly say which one of his films is my favorite. That's the main reason why my top 50 is mostly Kubrick-centric; all of his films are great.

2001 is a difficult film to swallow. Literally and figuratively. It does takes a lot of patience to watch it. If you can remember from your first viewing of it, it's mostly dialogue-light and just lets the audience view everything without the need of dialogue. If you can appreciate the orchestra heavy soundtrack that goes along with it, then it's one of the most spectacular experiences you'll ever have with a movie. You might see it that same way since you haven't seen it for awhile. Give it another go; you might end up liking it.

Strangelove is very funny. But I guess that one just depends on your type of humor, but looking at the film technically, it is very flawless.

You should definitely try giving FMJ and Clockwork Orange full viewings. The great thing about Kubrick films is that he was a master at hiding things that you'll never notice on just a typical viewing of his films; it gives the incentive to watch them multiple times each. FMJ, The Shining, 2001, and Clockwork are the ones that deserve this extra attentiveness.

The purpose of the news segments is to get a feeling of the public's perception of Batman, at the same time adding social commentary on the moral implications of being a vigilante. In addition to this Frank Miller was trying to poke fun at the modern media, in particular David Letterman, Dr. Ruth and Harlan Ellison, though they won't show up until part 2, if at all. He also ridiculed the Reagen administration but they cut that out.

Glad you asked. After the disappointment of the last viewing, I decided to put Blood's next viewing on hold indefinitely (like I'd done with 2001). But my brother had just bought the blu-ray, and this guy also has a home theater system. He convinced me to give it another chance. I thought by the end of this viewing, I'll end up hating it even more. Boy, was I wrong. This film is an experience like no other on the big screen. At times, it felt like I was watching a David Lean epic (yes, I looked past the Kubrickian influences this time). The blu-ray transfer is superb, gorgeous restoration. I've always appreciated the brilliant filmmaking behind TWBB, but experiencing it the way I did this time is just something else. As dangerous as it may sound, I can also connect with Plainview on a personal level :O

So There Will Be Blood started at no. 3, fell down to the 12th spot, and now occupies the no. 2 position! I keep rearranging my top 5, but I THINK it's there to stay. Also, I'm really glad that you liked The Godfather. Coppola's style in it is vastly different from that in Apocalypse Now. You are now set up for the superb, The Godfather Part II.

My 007 fandom started with Brosnan, there's no doubt. 1995 is when I really got into Bond, and my dad introduced me to most of the films. (To this day, I still haven't seen Diamonds Are Forever; I have it on DVD sitting on my shelf, just waiting for me to finally get at it.)

In retrospect, I think I prefer GoldenEye, but I also truly enjoy Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough, despite their flaws. In the case of the former, I had a giant crush on Teri Hatcher (especially at the time), I loved the idea of a female character who could totally keep toe-to-toe with 007 in the form of Michelle Yeoh, and I thought the villain was at least a fantastic idea, played very well by Jonathan Pryce.

It's actually a movie I've been itching to rewatch for many years. Diamonds Are Forever first, though!

Thanks MysticSpoon. I'm going over it in my head whether I want to watch the trailer. Sure I want to see it, but do I really? Maybe this is a movie I want to go in fresh, I don't know! I also don't want anything spoiled, which trailers tend to do. Maybe I'll find out where the spoilerish stuff is in the trailer, then look away. I did the same for Trance. I heard there's an action shot in that trailer that will be much better if you see it fresh, so I spent half the trailer with my eyes to the cinema floor.

It will be tempting to watch it though. I'll have to think about. On another note, yellowjacket must be insane! I don't know if squaremaster is still doing it, but what's the point of still writing fucking comments if they don't even show up! It boggles my mind to what kind of world these people live in. Is life that empty for them?

I don't think Moretz's age will bother me, I'm just glad she's back! She IS hit girl. You probably know if it's going to be similar to the first, I don't know if I want to know, you know. ;)

MysticSpoon, I think that The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars: A New Hope are the only 3 Greatest Films that you and I love the most.

I loved Untouchable/The Intouchables, it's one of those rare gems in cinema, damn near perfect. I was surprised at how much I laughed!

Skyfall is on my list to watch, although I got spoiled at Christmas by someone who thought I'd seen the film. Hopefully it won't detract from my enjoyment too much when I do watch it, I've heard it's great.

Wow that's impressive! I'm not sure I could go through all the Bond movies like that, haha. I haven't seen them all, but I think my favourite from the older films is The Spy Who Loved Me.
I've really enjoyed Daniel Craig's Bond movies so far. Casino Royale blew me away the first time I saw it.

If you enjoyed One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, you will also enjoy The Last Detail. It stars Jack Nicholson in a pretty similar role, where he also stands up to authoritarian figures in the navy. You can check the full synopsis on IMDb, but judging on your list, I think you'll love it.

I personally think the Kick-Ass pic works best for you. I've decided, with the option in front of me, not to watch the Kick-Ass 2 trailer. I've also decided the same for The Evil Dead remake after seeing the great reviews.

I'll definitely not watch it if it's spoiler heavy. Just tell me one thing without spoilers. Does Hit-Girl seem awesome?

Holy dog shit! Raiders has finally toppled the Empire. Why the change of heart?

Is there any chance of SE7EN making its way to the top? ;]

I've seen a pic of Carrey all suited up in Kick-Ass 2, it seems like he could be the stand out character.....but I don't know enough about the movie to be sure.
I loved Nic Cage in Kick-Ass, he was such a surprise to me.

I'm cautious too, am worried that I'm building it up so much that it's going to be a disappointment!
I hope Wadlow does justice to the sequel too.

Glad that The Spy Who Loved Me is a favourite of yours too :)
I first saw it on tv with my dad when I was about ten I think, and Jaws scared me so much, but in a good way, meaning I was entertained. Jaws has to be one of the greatest Bond baddies!
It's one of those Bond movies that I always end up watching when it's on TV on a Sunday afternoon :) I'd include the Connery ones that you mentioned in that too.

I must make sure I get myself a Skyfall DVD this week, can't wait to see it!

Hey, nice to see someone ranking A History of Violence that high, I have seen the movie 4 times already and it just keeps getting better and better with each viewing.

Such a shame that people think it's slow-paced. I always give movies a chance and not judge them by their first 10 minutes.

Hey, no problem :)
I think Danny Boyle would be a good choice. I love Christopher Nolan's direction too so would love to see him do it but can't imagine it would happen.
Whoever gets the job, I'm not sure how they can top Skyfall, though! What are your thoughts on who should be the next director?
Watching Bardem as Silva made me want to see No Country For Old Men again, it's definitely due a re-watch soon.

Kate668 on Mar 30 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Shallow Grave is probably my favourite Danny Boyle film, it's one of his earliest. I've actually not seen a lot of his films, only a few, but I guess I thought of him as he's in the spotlight at the moment - partly because of the Olympics last year where he was creative director of the opening ceremony, and because Trance has just been released, and the action looks pretty good in it too :)

I can see those Nolan Bond parallels now you've pointed them out, the snow base from Inception in particular!

I've enjoyed all the Fincher films I've seen so far, Zodiac was really atmospheric, such a tense movie!

I do need to see Se7en.....but I got spoiled about the twist a long time ago and have never forgotten, will it ruin the whole thing or should I watch anyway?

Hey MysticSpoon, may I ask what's going on with that 'jarjar4ever' guy and 'bjonesb' guy? He seems like an asshole to you, what does he really do? I've seen you say, telling him to stop copying you but is that all...or is there more? Obviously, you don't need to answer this if you don't feel like you want to but I was just curious

I see that Raiders has passed Empire for your #1. Also, I was just wondering how excited are you for Kick-Ass 2?

Haha man, I've seen him on Youtube fore being spammed by people. I think he was by the name 'bjonesb' which got blocked by Youtube...He also has a Flickchart account by that name as well. I saw the comment on the 'Phantom Menace vs Star Wars' page where you said you informed the police! That really did seem to scare him good. I can understand the irritation that follows when someone intentionally copies other people's comments. He's talked to me before too, that's before I knew he was a troll! Good job man, scaring him good! :)

Yeah as you can see I love Empire and Raiders also. As for Kick-Ass 2, I have to agree with you. I loved the first, but I think a big part of that was because of Vaughn, so I'm a little cautious because of the director change. The trailers do make it look pretty damn good though.

Have you watched There Will Be Blood more than once? The last two times i re-watched (seen it 3 times) it I was severely underwhelmed and disappointed by this movie. The first time I watched this movie it went in my top 5 without one bit of hesitation. Now it's not even in my top 50...Did you feel the same way the second time around?

julinona on Apr 21 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Well, to be honest, the best why I can describe why I was disappointed is that the "magic" I felt on the first viewing was gone. The plot holes took me out of the experience more this time around. It also felt a bit longer than it really was, the characters didn't seem as interesting as they did on the first viewing. But this time around I got to enjoy the cinematography and the shots a lot more. I'm a sucker for spectacular-looking movies. It has now fallen from my Nr. 1 of the past decade list. That award goes to The Dark Knight and Road to Perdition. I won't move it from the 11th spot yet, the other viewing will decide that.

Hey, yeah I loved it! It all worked so well - Freeman and Pitt together, the tension and bleak surroundings were so effective.
I really loved the scene in the bar where Freeman talks about life, people and apathy.
Thanks for the recommendation :)

shane24 on May 4 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

I bloody love the first movie, so I might not be the best source. I think that Iron Man 3 is unique from the other two. Shane Black has brought his own style to the franchise with a risky movie that I knew was going to divide everyone. Have you read the comic? I haven't, but the stories goes in a way how can I put this? The comic book readers might not like. That's all I will say about that. I think the movie is funny, that's Black's influence, and that the stakes have been heightened significantly compared to the second, and even the first films. I also personally enjoyed how they showed who Iron Man really is.

I know, I know. I've been extremely busy the last month or so and movie watching of any kind has been a rarity for me. I'm still not all that interested in seeing Intouchables, but I reckon I'll get to it one day. When that day comes, I'll be sure to write a book about my experience and mail it to you somehow.

And no, I haven't seen Se7en. It's one of those movies that I'm not averse to seeing, I just don't have a lot of motivation to see it. I like Fincher, so maybe I'll give it a try some time this summer.

I liked O Brother, Where Art Thou. It's minor Coen Brothers, but minor for them is great for most other filmmakers. It's pretty clever, has a terrific cast (as all Coen films do) and has that wonderful dark, quirky humor that the Coens do so well. Also, I thought Clooney was excellent. I always like him when he lightens up and takes on more comedic roles. He's not bad in his dramatic roles, but they all kind of blend together. His comedic performances are usually sharp and involve quite a bit of energy. Anyway, good film.
The only Coen films I haven't seen now are (In order of my excitement to see them):
1. Blood Simple
2. Raising Arizona
3. The Hudsucker Proxy
4. The Ladykillers
5. Intolerable Cruelty
