I HATE YOU FOR FRIEND REQUESTING ME! ...ho ho ho, only joshing. Thanks & I have a tradition of telling people what to watch by comparing their top 10 with their Not Seen 20... SEE CHILDREN OF MEN!

Thanks for the friend request man, you have extremely similar taste to me. Great top 50 btw. Considering your taste in film, I really thnk you have to see there will be blood. My no.1 and for good reason. I'm sure you would love it too!

Seb on 2/1/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Yeah, ironically i was going to watch it last week but I forgot. I've seen aliens which I've heard is more fast paced compared to alien. I think I will really like alien, I'll watch it when I can, cheers

And yeah, there will be blood completely rewards multiple viewings, much like anderson's other work. I thought it was ok the first time I saw it and probably on my 3rd viewing I came to absolutely adore it.

Thanks for the add. I'll echo BisonDollah - see Children of Men! It's my #1!

Ah, I didn't notice that. Then I'd say of the ones you haven't seen on the left, Fargo needs to be remedied first! You see any glaring unseens for me? We seem to like the same kinds of movies.

Thanks for the friend request, you have a great top 20 and we seem to have similar taste in movies. I really would suggest you watch the Princess Bride though!

Why is Burn After Reading last on you list?

CONMAN999 on 3/19/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

That's interesting. It's weird how we associate movies not just for their content but for their viewing conditions as well. You should give Fargo a try. I feel like you'd be a fan of the Coens with your other interests, but I guess to each their own.

Thanks for the friend request, ironi chipster (that's how I read it at first, haha)! Looks like we've seen a lot of the same movies.

Interesting how your "Movies by Decade" panned out

Maddhatter on 10/1/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Like how you've seen 25 movies from the 20's 11 from the 30's and so on. Its kind of a ripple then a huge spike in the new millennium.

Maddhatter on 10/3/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Most people have a predictable elevation.
I suggest the 60's. Tis my favorite decade.

randysandwich on 2/12/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Hey I see you ranked Let the Right One In pretty high, what are your thoughts on it? I didn't really like it all that much, but it receives a lot praise, just curious.

randysandwich on 2/14/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Part of the reason I asked you is because I can't put a finger on why I don't like it. I can't come up with any good reasons why, whereas most movies I instantly could. Part of me thinks I didn't like it because the movie was successful in what it was trying to do, and it bothered me and I was unsettled watching it. I never thought it wasn't good, I just didn't like it. Thanks for the info!

Hey, thanks for the request. Love seeing Taxi Driver so high on your list, I absolutely love it. Great top 10, haven't seen Being John Malkovich yet, it's been on my watch list for ages!

gaveecho on Mar 4 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Well, I was left underwhelmed by it the first time I watched it too. I had these huge expectations and was waiting for it's greatness to slap me in the face! The second time I watched it though, everything worked brilliantly. I became totally immersed and lost in the lives of these people. It's completely devoid of any pretension, beautifully realized and completely engrossing. It presents it's characters as they are, without any kind of manipulation and that's what makes the emotional payoffs feel real and genuinely affecting. If you've seen it twice though, and still feel the same, then I suppose it just ain't your cup of tea which is fine. I hope you find something worthwhile in that rambling above lol Second viewings have changed my perception of a film for the better so many times I'd almost hesitate to give my opinion on something well regarded if I didn't enjoy it first time around, it happened with There Will be Blood, Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane, The Wrestler and many more of my favorite films. Has a second viewing of a film ever changed your opinion on it, for better or worse? :)

Thanks for clearing that out. I was only trying to express my feelings as to how the two films end. By "cool", I meant a more exciting way to close-off the story.

gaveecho on Mar 15 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Glad you liked it more the second time. I've yet to see Being John Malkovich, but I'll be sure to get back to you with my thoughts on it when I watch it.

What's your opinion on Django Unchained?

shane24 on Apr 2 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

I agree with all your points about Django Unchained. It didn't bother me too much about Django not being as interesting, but Tarantino's acting really bothered me. I'm Australian, so I can tell you that's a truly awful Aussie accent.

Sorry, I still haven't seen that vid. But I promise I'll get to it, you can count on it. I just came to ask you about Le Samourai. It's the highest movie on my list of shame. I've been looking for it for ages! I can't find it anywhere. I just want to know what you thought about it?

shane24 on Apr 26 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

I kinda want to go through it really. I have found many movies that I have loved. Just looking at your list for reference, I probably wouldn't of watched some movies I like such as Touch of Evil, Strangers on a Train, On the Waterfront, It Happened One Night or The Princess Bride.

After I pushed the submit comment button, I knew what you meant, sorry about that. :) Personally, I try hard to let go of the baggage when watching a movie. I've been burnt a few too many times. It's very hard for a movie to live up to expectations, especially when you're expecting to be blown away.

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

I finally watched that clip! Thanks for that, it was funny! That's probably the worst tv promo for a movie I've ever seen!

Kate668 on May 6 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Hi!
Sure, I can explain it quite simply: I just love TDKR, I had high expectations and it didn't disappoint me.
Cast, script, story, Nolan's direction and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, I loved it all and it remains one of the most memorable, enjoyable recent cinema experiences for me.
I tend to rank films by favourites and how the movie makes me feel and react, and that's why it's up there in my top 10. :)

Trainspotting, bloody brilliant film. Sometimes I wish I was Scottish, but maybe less drugs.

Mattstation on May 8 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Never seen Donnie Darko. It's on my ever increasing list of must watches. Funny thing is I always like watching the sequels to films even if I suspect they are bad, so I would have to watch S. Darko.

Mattstation on May 10 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Sorry I don't think I was clear enough. I didn't mean I would watch S. Darko before Donnie Darko. Rather I would watch Donnie Darko first, but then I would be compelled to watch S. Darko afterwards regardless of the poor reviews. In other words I always watch the sequels to films eventually, even if they are terrible haha. I will watch Donnie Darko this weekend, I'm sure I will like it.
