McCabe & Mrs. Miller is good, moody Western. It's probably not the sort of movie everyone would like. If you do end up liking it, that would be great. It became an all-time favorite for me after just one viewing. Our tastes appear to be a tad different in some areas, though.

Hey, where are you from? I always thought Soylent Green was the sort of film that's widely available. Anyway, it's set in the future where cities are overcrowded, food is scarce and the environment is all messed up. It's a Sci-Fi film, but there aren't really any special effects or anything. It's actually more of a detective story.

If you ever want to know about movies on my list, feel free to ask.

There aren't many films quite like McCabe & Mrs. Miller, especially westerns. It really is all about the mood it creates, more so than just the characters or story. At least to me. There's another western called The Great Silence (1968) that's kind of different. I saw it a while ago, but it's pretty good. Not an happy film, though. Quite a bit harsher than McCabe & Mrs. Miller.

This blog article pretty much sums up my perspective on Showgirls.

Vampire's Kiss is a pretty good movie. I saw it a few years ago, so I need to check it out again. I honestly think Showgirls is a great movie. Admittedly, I've always been partial to campy/trashy entertainment, so my tastes are more inclined toward Showgirls than the average viewer. As far as trashy movies go, Showgirls is probably my favorite.

Camp Fear isn't gory or crazy like Dead Alive and Evil Dead 2. Nor is it weird like Vampire's Kiss. It is funny, but mostly due to how cheesy it is. If you like bad movies you'll probably enjoy it. The villain in the film is a big caveman/druid. There's also a very brief appearance by a monster in the lake, which doesn't make much sense.

Wow,i watched your whole top 10 and sometimes,specifically on Flickcharts with such different tastes and unique users,that isn't VERY common. I totally dig your style Shane! The only movie i didn't care much about is "Kick-ass". Nothing personal,but comic adaptions...well...hard subject. I always hate it or love it. anyway,keep chartin'. Good to see you here!

If anyone has any recommendations of good movies I need to see, feel free to do so here. I like all genres and would gladly give out any recommendations if anyone wants one.

You really should watch Elite Squad. =]

Both movies are the best recommendations a brazilian could make to any flickfan.

The sequel is even better than the original. You gonna dig it.

Absolutely. The man's done some genius work, but I think the score to The Untouchables stands as his magnum opus.

Strong movie isn't it? The sequel is even better,trust me!

Finally saw The King's Speech and Good Will Hunting. Both have been the top two movie I haven't seen since I joined flickchart. I enjoyed both, especially Good Will Hunting.

Yeah, that ending is brutal. I haven't seen The Great Silence in awhile, but I haven't forgotten that "Holy sh*t!" climax. Rarely does a film leave the viewer so demoralized.

Hello. Thanks for the add. You have quite a lot of movies on your flickchart.

Dustron on Mar 20 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (0 likes)

Yeah, some people have a crazy amount of films on their flickchart. I'm waiting to hit the 1000 movie mark. There are a lot I haven't added because I want to rewatch them, like The Godfather and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Just movies I haven't watched in a while. I need to whittle down my list of shame. I snub certain genres sometimes too.

Hi, thanks for the friend request. Attack the Block jumps out of your 'not seen' list, it's a fun sci-fi comedy, definitely worth a look. If you have any recommendations for me, don't hesitate to let me know!

There are a few that have piqued my interest. Off the top of my head I'd say The Avengers and TDKR. I don't expect Avengers to be that great (Scar Jo as Black Widow is just bad, bad casting IMO), but I feel as though I'm obliged towards my childhood to see it. Rises because, even though I don't rate TDK as a masterpiece, I'm still hyped to see how Nolan ends the trilogy and to see if Hardy's version of Bane really does break The Bat. I guess you could throw The Amazing Spiderman into the mix along with any other mindless popcorn film that looks like a good time-waster. No.1 and No.2 would have to be Django Unchained and American Reunion. How about you Shane, anything have you brimming with cinematic expectation?

Dustron on Mar 25 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Yeah, I am definitely interested in seeing it. I'm not sure how good it'll be, but it can't be any worse than Dumb & Dumberer, that godawful prequel. Carrey is one of my favourite actors.

They're available now, yeah. The Dragon Dynasty has released both of them on DVD and Blu-Ray in the states. But for a while, you had to find either one of the rare US releases or buy them from overseas. I got lucky and found The Killer sitting in a random spot on a military base when I was a kid. In high school, I bought Hard Boiled straight from Hong Kong through the internet. But now you can go to a department store and find a copy in the DVD section. Do you have a region free DVD player? They're pretty cheap over here and if you get one, you can play DVDs from anywhere. Then, you could just import a copy. They're both worth going out of your way to see.

You have a good taste in film, thanks for the friend request.

Hey, thanks man! I feel pretty confident about my top
ten, but after that it gets a bit chaotic lol. It's cool to see we have the same number one!
It sucks that Memento was ruined for you, it has such a gut-renching ending. I hate it when people spoil movies for me...
Anyways, I really do need to watch Drive, I think it would be my kind of movie. I have no idea why it's listed twice, lol...and that's pretty funny about the friend request to yourself, haha. Flickchart's got several minor glitches it needs to work out.
btw if see any other films in my not seen list you would recommend, let me know.

Lets just say that I'm expecting to TDKR to surpass TDK as my favorite film of all time. The only thing that I'm not so excited for is Hathaway as Catwoman. I personally think it was a terrible choice. Then again, I wasn't so sure about Ledger playing the Joker either. As for Bane, I think he's a great choice for a villian. I've always liked his character and I think he's a good follow up to the Joker as opposed to someone more similar to the Joker like the Riddler. I think Hardy's gonna nail the role. What are your thoughts on everything that's been shown about the movie so far?

It's a 100% true to life,Shane....and that's just a shame for every brazilian,but believe me,the movie shows dozens of situations that could happen here @ any given day. It's a hard knock life.

I've heard so many great things about the hulk in the avengers. It's about time they did the hulk some justice. Ang Lees 2003 version was crap. Edward norton was alright as the hulk, but I feel like there is so much more they can do with the hulk. I heard that mark ruffalo signed a 6 movie deal. He will star in other superhero movies perhaps

Cabin in the Woods is fantastic. Try not to read too much info on it as it will spoil the main surprise. They trick you into thinking that it's just your typical horror flick but it turns into something monstrously huge at the end. It pays great homage to the campier horror flicks and seeing that Evil Dead 2 is in your top 20, I'm sure that you'll really enjoy it. You have great taste as well and I can easily appreciate someone with TDK, Empire, Shawshank, Inception, Evil Dead, and Pulp Fiction all in their top 20. Great taste. I'm counting down the remaining days until TDKR is released (July 20th). It'll most likely turn into my all time favorite film. All I can do is hope.

I loved the avengers. I enjoyed captain America in it. I think iron man and the hulk were perfect together. The action was amazing. I was so entertained. Everybody loved the hulk. Marvel finally found their hulk.

Finally watched one flew over the cuckoo's nest a few weeks ago, so glad I did, loved it - I had no idea how it would end and I found it really moving, and of course nicholson is brilliant.

Some told me they heard about it and to be honest, I didn't believe them. I thought they never would make one. I had to see it for myself. I can't wait for it. I can't tell you how I felt. I've seen that movie so many times. The teaser is perfect for me. They all act the same. 2013 can't come soon enough.
