Hey, thanks a lot. I have a hard time judging your list, because I haven't actually seen most of them or just partially. But from what I can tell, you have a good taste.

I freaking love Se7en too. I recently watched it again and loved it even more.

I surprisingly have a hard time watching (or should I say finishing) Casino and Goodfellas. Not that they're bad movies, but they feel so looong.

Reservoir Dogs is probably my favourite Tarantino movie too, even though it's considered a rip-off. It's the tightest and the most interesting of his movies.

Oh yeah, There Will Be Blood is frickin' awesome! I agree with your analysis. He only trusts those that are related to him. In a way, it works with the title: 'There will be blood' = 'One of my blood relatives will help me / lead my company in the future'. Ofcourse the title has multiple meanings, but this is one of them.

Personally, I DO think It's also a movie about greed vs religion. Eli Sunday is a monster out for money, and doesn't care for the church community besides to give them false hopes. He isn't a true priest; when he asks Daniel for money, Daniel asks him to say he is a fraud, otherwise he won't help him. Eli is desperate and does this. A priest would never do this, but Eli visits Daniel several years later JUST so he will be able to profit. So I think the movie has multiple interpretations.

Oh yeah, big time. I was raised in a family of MA addicts so it was a big part of my formative years and still remains a significant part of my movie watching life. Been a JC supporter since I first saw Wheels on Meals as a kid.

Supercop has a lot going for it. Michelle Yeoh's motorcycle leap and Jackie's helicopter theatrics are some of the best and most ballsy stunts put to film.

Project A, Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever have to be my Top 3. Drunken Master, Young Master and The Legend of the Drunken Master aren't too far behind with Police Story and Thunderbolt in the echelon just below. Yeah, he's made some badass motherfrucking movies.

No doubt. The thought-process behind the rooftop scene in Who Am I? is what JC is all about. There's a little 'Making Of' scene in one of his documentaries that explains how JC was dissatisfied with the the Dutch kicker he rumbles with in that fight. The dude couldn't match JC's rhythm so they had to bring in Brad Allen (one of Chan's familiars and the guy he has those amazing fights with in Gorgeous) to double for him. It's cool to see just how meticulous Jackie is.

In case you didn't see it on my profile page, this is in response to your comment there:

"No problem.
It's really good to hear that you're are interested in venturing into new cinematic territories. A lot of people I know are not like this- They watch their popcorn flicks and dismiss everything else as "stupid" without understanding it.
Some good "artsy" films to start with if you haven't seen them already:
The Seventh Seal
The Thin Red Line
Wings of Desire
The Battle of Algiers

Even if you don't fully comprehend it, it's that willingness to be accepting of the material and the willingness to learn about it that I admire.
Thanks for sending the friend request."

Seems like you loved The Dark Knight Rises. What did you think of it (without spoiling anything)? In what ways was it better than The Dark Knight for example? Can't wait to see it, I'll probably see it this sunday because I'm currently on a vacation until tomorrow.

TDKR was awesome but i like TDK more only because of the Joker. Bane was intimidating and maniacal but he went out like a total bitch for Talia.

MysticSpoon on 7/23/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (2 likes)

Well, I have finally seen the movie, and it's very good. I didn't love it though. Here are some of my thoughts, quickly summed up. Other people reading this, be warned: possible spoilers.

Performances and Characters:
- Christian Bale's best performance as Batman and Bruce Wayne in this movie. He was phenomenal. The voice was just right and not as overdramatic as in The Dark Knight, although there was one scene where the voice became a little weird.
- Bane's voice...not a fan. At all. It sounds like a bad Sean Connery impression. And his voice was waaaay too loud. When he was whispering, it sounded like he was talking, and when he was talking, it sounded like he was shouting. Unrealistic, and at times borderline laughable (the scene in the stadium comes to mind).
- Anne Hathaway as Catwoman was very good, although a part of me thought she was unnecessary.
- Michael Caine stole the show. He was phenomenal as Alfred. I don't get why people say there's little of him in this movie, I thought he got more scenes than in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight!
- Joseph Gordon Levitt was probably the most likable character in this movie for me.
- Gary Oldman as Gordon. Good, maybe a little underused, not my favorite part of these movies but he was fine.

Story and other stuff:
- Story. Decent, but not as good as in The Dark Knight. The scenes don't have as much weight to them and they don't really tie together well, especially in the first half, as in TDK. It honestly felt a little simplistic and rushed. There were some plotholes, like how the hell did Blake find Gordon and what the hell is this 'Dent act', but they didn't really annoy me, just a little. I do like how it's basically 'what if the villains in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight succeeded with their plans'. Because Ra's al Ghul didn't succeed, The Joker came close, and Bane did succeed, although not fully. Bane both destroyed a huge part of the city AND caused anarchy. And I do agree, the story in TDK relied too much on the Joker. To be honest I didn't care that much about Bruce Wayne in TDK, although I do care a lot about him in this.
- The twists. I saw some of them coming, because I was spoiled with some, but some I didn't see coming.
- The ending. Or, should I say endings. Perfect end to a trilogy and probably the best thing of the movie. It raises questions in a good way, like in Inception. It makes you think, and I like that.
- Realism. You said this was the most unrealistic Nolan Batman movie, and I kind of disagree, because the other movies had their moments of unrealism as well. Like that thing in Batman Begins that attracts bats, the moment when the Scarecrow turns into a monster, and the device used in The Dark Knight that makes Fox and Batman able to see everything. So I didn't mind stuff like the Bat in TDKR.

Overall, I currently think The Dark Knight is better. I'm not the biggest fan of these movies, for example I like Batman: Mask of the Phantasm better as a Batman movie and I like Inception better as a Nolan movie. Batman Begins: I don't like it that much. Especially the last third or so. The special effects look very fake and the whole subplot with the gas is underwhelming. I like TDK a LOT more, but that movie has it's problems as well, at least in my eyes. There is some dialogue that makes me roll my eyes, and there are some subplots that could've been cut out. So they each have their own problems. I really have to see it again, along with the other movies. Once it comes out on blu-ray I'll watch them again.

I've seen a good chunk of those "classics" on my Unseen/Unranked list, including Chinatown. A lot of them require another viewing before I can fairly add them to my list but, yeah, Chinatown is probably one of the few that I should get onto speedily.

Yeah, you're right: I still have to see T2 and The Matrix. I've seen the first third of the Matrix, but I can't remember if I liked it or not. I have the first Terminator on my PC, so I'll watch that before I begin with T2.

And Casablanca isn't THAT romantic, honestly. Sure, it's an important part of the story, but it's not too sweet or too much 'present', so to speak.

I think Fincher is hot or miss, but when he hits its a home run. I think its odd that you called 2001 slow but liked Zodiac. The first time I watched Seven I didn't like it, I found out that was because Blockbuster edited it to hell. Rewatched it and loved it.
As I alluded to, I didn't like Zodiac. Benjamin Button is fair but had the potential to be so much better. Fight Club is amazing, just like Seven. I agree with you 100% on The Social Network, and I won't comment on Alien 3.
PS, if those are the only 3 Kubrick movies you've seen, you need to see more.

Sorry for the late response, but great. I'm glad you enjoyed GBU. I agree with your opinion on Tuco. I always found him the most engaging character because he was on both sides of the spectrum of good and evil and Wallach portrayed him flawlessly. The scene at the graveyard is one of my favorite moments in cinema. I've seen the movie a couple of times now, and whenever that scene arrives, my heart is always pounding because it's so intense, although I already know who's gonna win the standoff. Fantastic stuff.

Hey, I actually enjoyed Crash, lol. But yes, I think Taxi Driver should have gotten the Best Picture win. I love that film. I still haven't seen Network just yet, but I plan on checking it out soon.

On a different subject, what made There Will Be Blood one of your favorite films? I saw it a few years ago and I really disliked it. It's really well made and all that, but I never saw what made it so great. I just rented the DVD again and I'm gonna force myself to go into it with a clear conscience and pretend that I never saw it before. I'm basically brainwashing myself.

Similar posting styles are fine by me. I suppose that great minds do post alike...or something like that.

Hey man. There Will Be Blood kicked some serious ass. I kind of feel like hating myself for hating it so much before. Now, it has managed to find itself in my top 20. Of that and No Country, I still believe that No Country is the better film, but I was surprised at how close TWBB was to topping it on my own chart.

I used your advice - about not forcing myself to like a certain film - and it worked. I am one of a handful of people to say that The Godfather is overrated. I just watched the first 90 minutes of that film and, using the same advice as before, I fell in love with it. I don't understand what caused my hatred of these films were before. It's an unsolved mystery.

I found out about this new Se7en theory that you might be interested in. There's a theory that Morgan Freeman is the killer. The following is copied from a thread ten years ago

Random list of reasons why:
- I started thinking it was him when he was making so many non-intuitive leaps of logic to track the killer.
- His reaction to finding the "killer"s headquarters was also odd. He didn't want Brad Pitt to go in there right away without reinforcements because he wasn't sure he hadn't left anything incriminating out there.
- Don't you think Spacey turning himself in was too easy? It was part of the plan. The ultimate final victim (and the final sin) was Brad Pitt himself, who Morgan Freeman thought represented the new breed of hotshot, self-absorbed cops.
- Freeman's bored and retiring. Time to put all his training to use for one final perfect crime.
- When the car arrives with the box, Freeman BUSTS ASS to be the first to get the box. Can't remember if Pitt actually looks in the box, but even if he does, it's just a glimpse. It's Freeman's reaction that tells him what he thinks he needs to know, and he's already in an agitated mental state from the buttons Spacey has pushed (according to the script laid out by Freeman).

Seriously, watch the movie again with this idea in mind and see how many things seem to back up what I'm saying. I developed the idea very early on, and I was 100% convinced by the end. I even wonder if there was an original script that revealed Freeman as the killer that got booted for being too depressing for American audiences.

He calls the lack of women an imperfection? Fuckin' really? Apocalypse Now didn't have any women, and he still gave that movie 4 out of 4 stars. Excuse me, it DID have women in it: stripping women. That's it. And the ending is one of the best parts of the movie! Oh well. It seems the movie is back at your no. 3 spot?

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

It's true that Apocalypse Now is about war, but There Will Be Blood is (mostly) about the leader of an oil company in the very early 20th century. Women were not treated the same in that time as today; they mostly stayed at home. That's a reason why the movie doesn't need a woman as a main character.
Yeah, Citizen Kane is his favorite movie so that may explain it. There Will Be Blood is very similar when it comes to plot.

And I don't know if this has relevance, but Roger Ebert has always been overprotective when it comes to women in movies. Check this episode of Siskel & Ebert where he says that some horror movies "hate women". It's an opinion that's quite ridiculous when you think about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz2N6BMOsyQ

Have you noticed that The Social Network, There Will Be Blood and The godfather 2 have a lot in common? They both have protagonists who are demonised by their peers, all 3 of them gain wealth but lose their souls in the process, they both betray or murder someone who is close to them, and also let's not forget at the conclusion of all 3 films, it shows Mark Zuckerberg, Daniel Plainview and Michael Corleone at the height of their careers, but are emotionally isolated from everyone.

Fuck yeah, I loved Enter the Dragon. Here's the story: there's this Mom & Pop store a couple of miles from my house that sells REALLY old games, game consoles, and has one of the most impressive selection of DVD's that I've ever seen. I was looking through 'em and I saw Enter the Dragon for $3.98! I was shocked, bedazzled, and happy. I had never seen it before, so I said "what the hell" and I bought it. I came home, watched it, and ultimately loved it.

There's some weird aura about Bruce Lee that's entertaining to watch; the dude can kick a serious amount of ass. Did I mention that Enter the Dragon was my first ever Bruce Lee film? I feel like an ass for not watching his films beforehand; now I know that I have to.

Oh, and at that same store, I managed to buy a copy of American Psycho (unrated!) for $3.98 a well. I was a happy dude.

Yes I am indeed a huge Nolan fan, he is my second favorite director. I agree with you that Memento is his most mature work and probably his 'best' film, but I just enjoy Inception and the Batman movies more than Memento. The narrative structure of Memento is brilliant and his best to date, but some of his other movies are just more entertaining in my opinion.

That's pretty terrible that they used the funeral footage and his actual dead body. They should have just cancelled the film altogether or (like I read in a review) use his fight footage in a documentary or something. I'll probably watch the film just to say that I've watched it.

Well, I was a small Kubrick fan a couple of months ago, but he's grown to become my favorite director. In my first semester of college a few months back, I wrote a research paper on him and I learned a lot of things about him that I didn't know before. I don't know how it happened, but I was hit over the head while writing that paper (not literally) and I was inspired to change my career path to becoming a writer and/or director. It was the strangest thing. I had originally wanted to go into the medical field but I found that it didn't suit me that well. So I guess I can thank Kubrick for inspiring me to set my path straight. That's one of the reasons why he's my favorite director.

After writing that paper, I just decided to finish up his filmography. His film making has spoiled me though because he always used to hide things in his films and they were always ambiguous; I always expect every film to follow suit with his now.

Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide are fucking phenomenal. They're probably his two most underrated films, but both are in my top 3 favorites of his. I would also suggest Dr. Strangelove; it's hilarious.

I like the first two Burton films, but not really the others. I can tolerate Batman Forever, but not Batman and Robin. I also have a soft spot for the Adam West Batman. I used to have a VHS tape of it, that I played frequently as a kid.

Yep, it's a good thing we both like The Dark Knight. I'm glad you liked Memento so much. I'd still give it a 8.5/10, so it's still right up there on my list.

What's your opinion on Scoop? I've never seen it before.

I've teased in the past that I would probably put Raiders on top of my list. The main reason for this is that some stuff in Empire simply doesn't interest me that much anymore. I'm much more interested in the scenes with Darth Vader and the empire than the stuff with Luke and the rest of the gang. Honestly, before the Empire shows up, I find it a little slow and boring. It's still an amazing work of art though, and most of the special effects are mindblowing to this day. But I enjoy Raiders a tiny bit more overall. It's more consistently entertaining, and that ending still gives me the chills. I dunno, maybe I'll change it back one day, but for now, Raiders is my favorite movie.
And Se7en becoming my favorite movie of all time? Who knows ;) . Oh man, just thinking about it makes me want to see it again. That's the sign of a fantastic movie.

Nice! Django was your 400th! Did you like it? I see its got 70% but what did you really think of it compared with other Tarantino movies

Hmm...I'm sorry you didn't love Django Unchained. I personally was glued to the seat. Django did have lots of blood but Kill Bill, I think even more. I loved the characters and the dialogue in this movie and the action sequences were amazing! I really feel bad that you didn't like it much, I rank just after Reservoir Dogs which is a top 10 movie for me...Maybe, its time to see the Master or the classic Back to the Future....

If you download movies, Back to the Future will be arriving in 1080p on YIFY (just google it and go to their official page)!

Yeah man Reservoir Dogs is my favourite Tarantino film and not one part of it is boring, so it was bound to break into my top 10 sooner or later.

As for Django Unchained, I thought it was brilliant. Sure some of the characters were one dimensional, but the soundtrack and revenge plot were very well done. My appreciation for it has died down a little bit though, and I think after my next viewing it'll probably drop outside of my top 30.

The Mummy is a pretty spooky flick, I thought the early stages of the Egyptian prince was genuinely terrifying. One thing I love about it, is probably the way he kills the people who stole the treasure in a particular order.

Have you seen more than 400 movies? Cause I've seen you comment on heaps of matchups where your name wasn't attached to any movie, but your comments clearly validate that you've seen them?

Your taste in films is kinda lame. You've no business on this site.

Yeah as of late, I've embraced Nolan for what he is: A GREAT director. Top 5 Directors would probably go like this:

1. Martin Scorsese
2. Nolan/Tarantino
3. David Fincher
4. Stanley Kubrick
5. Spielberg (when he wants to be good)

What type of music are you into? And who is your favourite artist?

Hey PiccoloKing.

After taking another look into your top 10, I see Reservoir Dogs in your top 10 but Pulp Fiction is nowhere in your top 50! I was just curious, is there a reason you love RD more? I personally love both, both in my top 10! I find it surprising that Pulp Fiction is low on your list.

SLionsCricket on May 5 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

I myself find Pulp Fiction an absolute masterpiece. Every conversation is done just amazingly, the dialogue feels so realistic, and to me, just like in RD it moves the story forward and also develops the characters. And the way the stories evolve into one and the puzzle that we work out is done brilliantly, IMO. Also I just find that the characters are incredibly awesome! I loved every segment of the film but any word that Jackson says is the best part! But you should know that the 1st time I saw PF, I didn't like it at all, it was only the second viewing that helped me love it!!

Yeah, same with The Godfather man...The first time I saw it, I distinctly remember it was about 150 out of 200 films (at the time).. I was complelely convinced to watch it again, only for it to make it into my top 10! As for Raiders, I enjoyed it but not much. That was my first viewing. It was okay. After my second viewing, I thought it was much better but the stuff after the awesome car chase sequence didn't feel like it worked with the rest of the film. It is after my third viewing, that I truly LOVED Raiders!!

It's hard to forgive a movie but I just start all over again. I completely ignore the fact that I've seen it and hated it and try to watch it as if it is the first time! Yeah, you should definitely give PF another chance. Keep your mind clean before you watch it again :D That's what I did ;)

Sort of how Zodiac grew on you. The Social Network gets better with every viewing, and a majority of the cast is PITCH perfect. The witty dialogue draws me in, and I must admit: I'm a sucker for rise-to-the-top stories.

I was wondering what your thoughts are on Fear and Loathing? It seems to be pretty high on your list and I'm curious to know if you think it's for everybody?

I see you have No Country for Old Men as your number two whilst browsing. Thought I was stop by and say I agree it is a fantastic film. I remember watching it when it first came out, I must have been 15 or so, and Bardem's character really creeped me out. Watched it recently and I wasn't nearly as terrified by his expressionless murder, but I will never forget my first viewing, brilliant.

Hey, is John Doe your favorite movie villain? He sure is mine. I confirmed this when I rewatched Se7en for the second time last night. When he shouted "DETECTIVE", it sent shivers in my body like very few movies. I also love the final sentence of the movie by Morgan Freeman. Such a masterpiece but I still prefer Fight Club.

Yes, I said that. AWWW :P When I watched it for the first time, I felt like after all those great scenes with great acting, I don't know why but it felt like something was missing. When I watched it for the second time I forgot that I saw the movie before, and after finishing it, I felt the same way. It is probably the most overrated movie in the Top 30 in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, a great villain is one that makes you feel scared even when you re-watch the film and know what is gonna happen like John Doe and Anton Chigurh.
