I like your list, many great movies. I should watch ip man, considering your list, I would say I would enjoy it

Thanks! Ip Man is a lot of fun. Is story is nothing you haven't seen before, but it's executed very well and it has the greatest fight scenes I've ever seen.

I see you wound up really liking Blue Valentine. (Hope you weren't just "watching it for the sex scenes"!)It's one of those movies that I more appreciated as a good movie, rather than actually "liked".By the way, I envy a man who has yet to see Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Aliens for the first time...
JRM on 1/4/2012 Reply · Like · (1 like)
The sex scenes didn't disappoint (lol), but that wasn't the main reason I liked the movie so much; It felt very honest and it genuinely moved me. There's a chance it will drop as time goes by (most movies do), but I don't see it dropping out of my top 100 anytime soon.And I have seen Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Aliens... I just don't remember them at all! Lol. I'm positive I've seen them when I was much younger, but because I don't remember them I haven't added them to my flickchart.

Exactly. And speaking of E.T., I saw it again 3 years ago at a 'drive in'-like inflatable screen downtown... but I've already forgotten about it! I've ranked it but I really should watch it again before I decide where it should rightly place.

Hi, thanks for the add. You have a lot of interesting match-ups on your discussions list. I like your appreciation for Serenity. You gave an ambiguous answer for Avatar vs. Jurassic Park...I enjoyed both of those, but I guess I'd have to pick JP too...dinosaurs > blue aliens!

I have now seen Ip Man, I loved it, well deserving of it's place on your list. The part where he brings his leg down on one of the opponents made me feel sick!! (then I rewinded and looked at it again) Dislocated hip by the look of it. Now I will watch Ip Man 2, after reading what you had to say about the sequel I am a little wary. But going in with low expectations may be to my benefit. Hopefully nothing else with hips or legs!!

Great film, imo. It's a testament to a film's quality when it could keep you engaged when there's only around 4 or 5 different locations. The writing is the real star here, as well as the likeable characters.

Hey man, nice list! I'm glad to see you loved Life of Pi so much, I just watched it and it was one of my favorite films of the year, maybe my favorite. If Ang Lee doesn't win best director that would be really fucked up! I don't hate Spielberg, but he didn't really do anything outside the box with Lincoln. Ang Lee achieved a masterpiece of visual and storytelling. Life of Pi has some of the most beautiful imagery ever caught on film, Lincoln definetly doesn't. The movie had me crying in scenes and scared to death in others. It's probably the only best pic. nom (other than Les Mis) that I truly enjoyed.

Thanks! And I'm also glad you enjoyed Life of Pi. I've been recommending it to everyone I know; I want people to see it in 3D--the way it's meant to be seen--before it leavea theaters. I'm absolutely rooting for Ang Lee to win Best Director. Few filmmakers could pull off what he did in Life of Pi. With Ben Affleck and Bigalow out of the race, I truly believe Ang has a n excellent shot at taking that prize.

You were right, man! Ang Lee won The Oscar, and it couldn't have been more well deserved. I would have rather had Life of Pi win BP than Argo, but they're both good. After Lee won I thought it might win, but alas, it did not. I think it will be remembered and celebrated the longest out of any of the other nominees, though.

Yup! I had a strong feeling from the beginning. Everyone at the Oscar party cheered when his name was announced. I love ARGO as well (second favorite movie of the year), so I didn't have much to complain about when it won (and I also predicted it would win). Looking forward to whatever both filmmakers come up with next. :)

I abolutely LOVE Mulholland Drive, but it's not for everyone; I could see it being very polarizing, but regardless if one hates it or loves it, it makes for great conversation. I plan on seeing more Lynch films down the road, but I would like to space them out as to not be overwhelmed by their tone and style.

In a way. Usually if I only 'like' a film, I don't end up LOVING it, but there have many instances where I LOVE a film, but it's only after letting the feelings sink in that I realize just how much I love it. Some recent examples include Drive and Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I personally don't consider Jaws a monster movie, I consider it a movie (a masterpiece) about three great characters and character interaction, who go on a quest to kill the "monster". Jurassic park on the other hand is a monster movie. Which I hate! Why? Slow pacing, dull characters, storyline that picks up after 60 minutes. It wasn't for me. You might say that Jaws only gets interesting when all three of them go on the boat to hunt for the shark but I disagree, I loved every second of the whole movie. Also I have seem them both for the first time this last month. But each to his own. Also watch A Clockwork Orange ASAP. My favorite Kubrick movie.
I think the characters in JP are equally as interesting as those in Jaws, but it's clear we won't agree. I plan to see Clockwork sometime next week.

What did The World's End lack compared to Shaun and Fuzz, if you don't mind me asking?
JRM on 1/12/2014 Reply · Like · (1 like)
Personally, I felt it was far too chaotic and silly to the point where it seemed as though it wasn't following a script at all, but rather being improvised from start to finish (and not in a good way). The film didn't gel together, rapidly switching between tones. Even when characters start to die off, The World's End doesn't slow down to give those deaths any meaning. It lacked that strong emotional core and threatening presence that was seen in the previous two films, replacing those elements with uninteresting side characters and a very unlikeable protagonist. By the time the protagonist's redemption came around I just didn't care anymore. Then there's the pub crawl; I didn't buy into their reasoning to continue the pub crawl after they were discovered. In short, the film felt uninspired. It's definitely not a bad movie, but I would admit to being disappointed.
