Thanks for the kind words :) I wish I had seen many more movies like you but haven't had much of a chance. To me, LOTR is the best trilogy followed Toy Story, Star Wars and Back to the Future- I adore those series!

Me too! I've been a recent watcher of Hitchcock's movies, mainly after the movie 'Hitchcock' came out. I loved Psycho, found Rear Window to be the most amazing mystery film I ever saw and now I find North by Northwest EVEN BETTER! :)

The Silence of the Lambs is an awesome thriller, but I don't think it's the pinnacle of psychological films. I reckon Se7en is a lot better on different levels. The Green Mile is a great movie I used to visit all the time, it definitely needs a re-watch because I love the characters.

Hey great answer man. I personally enjoyed Silence of the Lambs but did NOT love it by any means. Se7en is one of my all time favorites and it certainly to me, is far superior in every way.

Thanks! I actually sometimes feel like something of a lightweight on here compared to some other Flickcharters. I'm 33 years old, but not very educated in films that are older than I am, and there are some users on here who have ranked twice as many (or more) films than I have. It's crazy!

Of course, I don't consider myself a big student of "film" or anything; I'm just a guy who likes movies.

I've watched 10 so far in 2013; on my second Flickchart account, MrKlan, I'm keeping track of just the films I saw this year.

If you thin you aren't a fan of movies, I can't take it seriously! You've seen a great deal of movies and I really like your top 10. I agree about Fellowship of the Ring. Boy its amazing. I feel to me, the Dark Knight is brilliant but may be overrated due to Heath Ledger's performance but I also heavily agree on Aliens! Great list of movies; look forward to seeing some.

You should try to watch the highest movies on your list of shame. I did that and I was surprised!

And the funny thing is, I just granted Fellowship as my number 1 movie today, and also Raging bull moved from 9 to 10. We seem to have very similar tastes, have you really only watched 195 movies or you havent added all of your films in yet?

We sure do seem to have similar tastes in movies. I mean, we both love Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Godfather 1 and 2, Raging Bull and many other films

Btw, I have only seen 199 movies just about to start another Hitchcock classic as my 200th movie. I plan to watch more. As a child, I never got the opportunity to watch a lot of movies and since I'm still a teenager at school, I'll try to squeeze more movies in, hopefully to your extent one day ;)

One of those rare occasions where everything in a movie was just perfect. The soundtrack, the action, the characters, the quotability and the memorability.

I'm glad we share the same opinion when it comes to Jurassic Park.

Oh hell yea! The Matrix is perfected in everyway. That and T2 are my two favorite movies when LOTR is not included, the question is do I like Matrix more than T2? Yes, Jurassic Park is plain awesome, kickass music and characters, epic story, amazing visuals even after 20 years and breathtaking. I can't wait to catch its 3D release this year! To hear John Williams score in theatres, seeing the T-Rex attack the kids it will be the experience of my life! I'm glad we both also love Godfather, Star Wars, Batman etc!

Its nice to have someone on here with similar tastes in movies. The Lion King is the greatest animated movie of all time. On top of that there are two different scenes in the movie that make me lose my marbles and cry. Casablanca is a masterpiece. The cast for that movie was insane; Bogart, Bergman, Lorre,and Rains.

I finally went with Django and ditched The Master. It was okay, man. Good entertainment but I'm not overly impressed. The film is solid in the first half, still great when Calvin is introduced but becomes downright insufferable after King Schultz's death. I know this is a Tarantino film but there was just too much blood, or should I say too much unnecessary blood. I honestly cared more for Christoph's character than I did for Django.

Wouldn't rank it among QT's best films. And while I've yet to finish the Kill Bill series (saw only some parts), I suspect Vol. II is slightly better. Maybe I should've watched The Master :(

I wasn't all that impressed with The Master, it's too self indulgent and often forgets itself. But you would've liked it for sure, but I'm certain that it doesn't rank amongst PT's best films (Boogie Nights, TWBB, Magnolia (which I'm yet to see);

Don't worry it's still in my top 20, and probably won't be leaving anytime soon. I just found it weird to have all three Star Wars' films in my top 10, so I just picked the weakest of the trilogy.

And I'm not sure when I'll watch LOTR again, it's hard to say.

I might give The Conversation a re-watch in the near future, with a lot more attentiveness to detail and craftsmanship. I thought Gene Hackman was decent enough as well.

I am watching Jurassic Park 3D quite possibly tomorrow and I'm really amped for its release. Nostalgia is literally gonna be radiating off the screen.

You got to know something about me. I love over-the-top action movies! That's why 300, Shoot 'Em Up and Kick-Ass are in my top ten. Do I think they are the best movies of all time? Of course not, but they bring the entertainment that brings pure joy. But you will notice that I love classics like Taxi Driver, 12 Angry Men, The Godfather and The Treasure of Sierra Madre as well. My point is, I can enjoy a variety of genres.

As I said Kick-Ass is really over-the-top, I don't know if you like that. It does have elements of comedy also, so if you don't like the action, you may get a laugh or two. However, the movie is quite dark at times also. Really, the movie throws you around, you don't know what's coming. Some critics like movies consistenlty funny, or dark. But i enjoy not knowing what's coming.

I love Nic Cage when he's crazy, like he is in Kick-Ass. His action scene (along with the music) in the warehouse is one of my favourites in the movie, and he's hilariously channeling Adam West from the old batman tv show. But my favourite has to be Hit-Girl, she's a big reason why it's in my top ten.

I'm totally avoiding the trailer for Kick-Ass 2. I don't want to know ANYTHING walking in.

If you ever want to ask me anything else, don't hesitate.

If John Harrison can rival The Joker, then Into Darkness has a great chance to be very high on my list. I do love me a strong villain. :) That's another reason I like the batman movies, how bloody tough the villains make it for batman.

Does it look like I'm a crazy fanboy with two batman movies at the top? I always wonder that. Just so you know, I'm not, you're totally allowed to be disappointed with The Dark Knight Rises, because hey, all of it's subjective anyway. Do you agree?

That's why I don't understand all the crazy bickering on The Dark Knight vs The Avengers matchup.

I think the people involved with Star Trek Into Darkness have done their best to avoid saying what exactly Cumberbatch's role is in the movie. However, the more that's revealed about the film, the more it appears that he is not playing Khan. Personally, I'm good with whomever the main villain is. I just want to see the movie! :)

Yeah, he copied my comments multiple times, and every time I confront him with it, he apologizes and a couple of days later he starts copying my comments again. Not that it REALLY bothers me, but it does raise an eyebrow. I'm pretty sure he has some sort of autism or another mental disorder. He's 17 or 18 years old, but he has this bizarre way of talking. I basically trolled him, and he fell for it. I did not expect that. It seems like I scared him away, at least for now. I actually know him from YouTube. It's a long story, trust me ;)

When it comes to Inception, there's no villains, because the story is following the villains. Think about it, what has Cillian Murphy's character done to deserve what happens to him? Nothing. We root for them to succeed because that's who the movie invests time into, but for all their charm and likability, they're truly the villains.

You're right about the subconscious as well. I wouldn't call you an idiot. But if your looking for the villains that you can actually see, it's them. However, you could count Marion Cotillard's character as the face of his subconscious.

I think it's worth a watch, but to be honest, my score is flattering, I need to fix it. I think I ranked it so high because i enjoyed some of the visuals.. I won't tell you what I didn't like because that'll probably be in your head when it gets to that part. Who knows, you may love the scenes I'm talking about. My rating is probably closer to 60%.

Still thinking about the list. You can godamn wait! ;) Sometimes I think it would be funny to say all this stuff without emoticons. Then someone reading my comments would think I'm a maniac. Then they would look for your response, and you're completely nice. They would say, "Bloody defend yourself against this loser!!". What a weird thought. :)

Oh, well, I honestly have not much else to say about Kick-Ass, shane summed it up perfectly. I'll try.

Kick-Ass is one of the best superhero movies ever made. I know that's a strange thing to say nowadays, because most people see The Dark Knight as the best superhero around. But Kick-Ass has absolutely everything I want from a superhero movie: a menacing villain, a fantastic soundtrack, bloody over-the-top action, memorable characters, great performances, an origin story that doesn't overshadow the rest of the movie (I'm looking at you Batman Begins and Captain America), a dark tone, and more. It's actually one of the most realistic supehero movies ever made in my opinion. Well...realistic in some aspects. How the main character becomes Kick-Ass is the most realistic transformation into a superhero I've ever seen. No one zillion dollars and a shitload of gadgets, no bite from a radioactive spider, no radiation, none of that. That makes it so unique. Ofcourse the action scenes aren't realistic, but the motivations of the main character certainly are. The movie does have some small flaws, but overall, I absolutely adore it, and it's the movie I probably rewatch the most.

That's a short summary for you! ;)

I want to point out that Dead Heat and He'll Come to Frogtown will only work if you don't take them seriously at all.

I also want to say The warriors as well. It's from the 70's, but I had to write it.

I also always tell people to watch Vampire's Kiss. It's not an action movie, but if you like crazy over-the-top Nicolas Cage, then it's the king. Want to see Cage eat a live cockroach? Well you can if you want, the whole movie is on YouTube. But again, if you take it seriously, you won't enjoy it. I personally think it's amazing! It's one of my favourite comedies of all time. But I guess it depends on your sense of humour.

I looked at Ten myself. When he's looking straight at camera, he reminds me of Clint Eastwood.

All very fair points. But I enjoy too much else about the film to have those parts kill it for me. I wouldn't of hated the twist if they were equals, but she treats him like her dog. However, I did enjoy that he was going to defy her orders and murder batman before catwoman intervened. It just makes me think that he could of had some input and it wasn't all Talia's plan. What I disliked more was how Talia died, it didn't look real at all!

You should watch how it should of ended take on The Dark Knight Rises on YouTube if you haven't already. They're just some short clips where they show what they would of changed to movies. The Hobbit is there as well.

Both Brando and De Niro give an amazing performance in my opinion. In all honesty though, I think I prefer De Niro's performance. Maybe I'm biased though because De Niro is on of my favorite actors and Brando isn't. Ha Ha. Anyways I'm glad to see you like Part II more than you did before, I actually just watched it yesterday and it has great rewatchability for me. I believe that was the 7th time that I have seen it.

Oh, and also I think Pacino gives one of the greatest performances of all time in Part II. He is another one of my favorite actors and that is probably his best performance. No disrespect to Brando cause he is truly amazing, but I slightly prefer De Niro and Pacino's performances to his.

The Godfather Part III is a great movie in my opinion. Sofia Coppola is the only thing in my opinion that holds it back from being as good as the first two. You should definitely watch it and tell me what you think about it.

I'm sure I'll get around to watching Casablanca someday because it is so loved. Ha Ha. Django Unchained is amazing, I've actually seen it 4 times, it is very rewatchable just like Tarantino's other films. I also noticed that Inglourious Basterds made quite the jump on your list, I'm glad to see you liked it this time around.

Django has so many great scenes, it's hard to pick just a few. Ha Ha. A couple of my favorites are: When they ride into Candieland, the last scene, and my favorite is probably the dinner scene. DiCaprio is amazing in that scene.

I am yet to see Prometheus in 3D... The thing that really drew me into it was probably the visual grandeur and the technical side of things. Apart from that the plot is a bit of a wreck and the characters are nothing special.

I think Thor is mediocre film. I thought the everything about it was one dimensional and the entire premise really didn't intrigue me at all. On the bright side of things I really enjoyed the action scenes and the one liners. Props to Chris Hemsworth who was really born to play Thor Odinson.

Inception is a truly brilliant film and I'm glad to see that it continues to climb up your list. In the first Godfather I love the opening scene, the horse scene, Sonny's death, Sonny beating up Carlo, The restaurant scene, the hospital scene, the baptism, and the final scene. As for Part II, the opening scene, every scene with De Niro, the abortion scene, Hyman Roth talking about Mo Greene, Michael and Fredo in the boathouse (your not a brother, not a friend), You broke my heart scene, and the last scene. To be honest though I love every scene in both films, but those are just some of my favorites off the top of my head.

Open you eyes! I'm a huge fan! ;) I enjoy the other movies greatly also! They're in the twenties on my list. The only reason they aren't higher is I wanted a bit of a mix up the top. What I mean is a few films in front of them I see on the same level, but I have them below to have a better variety. I think both are close to being in my top ten.

I feel the same about FOTR as you do. I'm thinking about it, and I've come to the conclusion that I enjoyed comradery much more when they were all together. I think I enjoyed the calm before the storm feel you get from the first film also. So when danger is upon them, you really feel the urgency. Especially from Gamdalf! I love how we watch the transformation from a happy old man, back to a battle-ready wizard.

I definitely get a 90's action vibe from Olympus has Fallen. Movies like Air Force One, Executive Decision, Under Siege and Broken Arrow come to mind. It's got many plot holes, but this isn't a movie to dwell on that, yet it still doesn't elevate it into amazing territory. It's still a decent movie, don't get me wrong. I hated Melissa Leo's acting in the movie, she seemed drunk at times.... Especially when reciting the pledge of allegiance. :D So ridiculous! I enjoyed Butler back in a movie that suits him. He had some one liners that were funny, but nowhere near the excellent Yipee kI yay motherfucker! It ended up at 75% on my list. You'd probably like it.

It's a little self aware like Expendables. But it does have some pretty horrible things that happen.

He didn't narrate......but he gave an inspirational speech. If you're not going to get narration, you can do worse than an inspirational speech from the man with the golden silk throat. :) Oh, his acting was alright. His part wasn't very challenging. But he did get angry at one stage, he showed who's boss!! :)

Mama is nothing special, but i think it was good at the start at not revealing much. Shadows and noises are effectively used to build tension. I just thought that the ending was a bit of a letdown. The motive seemed ridiculous, and I also found a huge plot hole as well. I also thought the cgi was poor. Don't get pumped for it, you're expectations won't be met. I may of been a little generous, but I thought the start was worth a decent score.

The next Rambo movies have crazy action.

The Man of Steel trailers are still not revealing much, so I don't have much of an opinion on them, other than that I'm intrigued. The buzz surrounding the movie has been very positive so far.

Hey, man!

Pulp Fiction was really, really disappointing. After I finished watching it for the first time, there was this sinking feeling inside that's hard to explain. I asked myself, "That's it?" Bunch of pointless conversations that don't reveal anything about the characters, that don't even move the story forward. And this is why RD will forever remain QT's best, imo. He shows a large degree of restraint in that flick. Including his kick-ass dialogue but also understanding that he has limited time (and budget) to tell an awesome story. PF is full-on Tarantino, which I don't see as a good thing. I know you love the film and I respect your opinion, but I just don't feel the same way :(

Of course, I also grew up with RD but saw PF only recently, which is shocking because Pulp has always been the bigger pop culture phenomenon. That makes a difference, doesn't it? Dogs is closer to my heart. It's lean, slim, minimal -- the kind of tightly structured storytelling I admire.

For what it's worth, I found the "Gold Watch" segment brilliant.

Interesting how you initially didn't enjoy Pulp but it's now positioned at no. 4 after repeat viewings. I wish I was as forgiving as you. Once I find a film's first viewing underwhelming, it's pretty difficult for me to give it another chance. By your comment on the Raiders page, it seemed you didn't like it that much. But again, you've got it within your top 10!

I'll surely give PF another chance.

That's all I can think of at the moment, what about you? I think if I had to pick one that consistantly was amazing for me, it would be LOTR.

I love all three of them as well, but what I felt when return of the king ended i didn't feel for any other movie, I felt like i came back from long journey with Frodo and Sam, I felt something special. Plus it had the most epic battle that i have ever seen. I could also put the other two in my top twenty, but It just didn't feel right. I wish I could put the lord of the rings TRILOGY as my number 5.

I do love that era of cinema, it's just when watching The Third Man I felt kind of distracted, because it was on a laptop, but the next viewing will certainly give it a boost, I'm sure of it ;).

I see you've grown fond of Raiders. It finally cracked your top 10.

I have a few soundtracks that I love. Personally I would have to say Street Fighter, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs. It's an area I certainly need to cover A$AP.

Iron Man 3 is a disappointment. The plot twist made the film downright stupid and the one liners get a bit dry. But the most damning thing of all, would be how they bring tension to the screen and then use that as fuel for a joke. Yeah, that really got on my nerve.

I just recently saw Star Trek Into Darkness, and I thought it was a pretty solid sequel, nothing special but still an entertaining film overall.

I am amped for the release of The Hobbit 2 and I am interested in Man of Steel but it has potential to be a flop.

Star Trek is amazing, isn't it!? Chris Hemsworth at the start is so memorable for me. A small part, but really great performance in my opinion. Plus it was a big shock to see the guy from Home and Away in a blockbuster!

Next week I'll watch Into Darkness. You might get another commentary from the cinemas if the lights are up at the start. :) I still have avoided the trailers.

I haven't seen all the old Trek films, so Scotty in the new film didn't bother me. I actually don't think any character bothered me. Oh, Eric Bana's character could of been a little better, as you said.

Hemsworth tried for the lead, he must of been the second choice to still feature in the movie. I could watch a whole movie of just his character! But I'm glad it went down how it did (keeping it vague for other people). It just let the character shine.

Spring Breakers is full-on! Definitely not what I expected! I have it high for now, but it might go down. James Franco is the easy highlight of the movie.

I haven't seen Rambo out of the cinemas, so I would have to see it again to judge it again. It could drop, I don't know. I know what you mean about seeing movies anywhere, I'm the same really, but like I said, I have only seen Rambo in the cinemas.

It says 2012 because that's when it was released in America.

In my opinion The Place Beyond the Pines has a weak third story, nowhere near as good as the first two. It's a long movie, and they left me feeling bored by the third story. I actually had a hard time keeping my eyes open. They should of expanded the first two parts, then had that part be about 15 to 20 minutes.

I did see Star Wars as a kid on VHS. But I don't really think I have a nostalgic connection to the movies. They're just great movies, simple as that.

I'm a bit wait and see on both movies to be honest. They try to make Pacific Rim feel like a Transformers movie from the music in the trailer. But the film could be the opposite.

I think you did, but I'll answer again. :) No, I haven't seen any of the new trailers for Man of Steel, I don't intend to either. I won't be for Sin City 2, Kick-Ass 2 and Elysium as well.

The Cabin in the Woods in a lot of fun SLC! I avoided every detail for that movie, and now it's way up on my list.

West went from somewhere in the 80's to 38 and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly went from 23 to 12. All of Leone's films get better with each new viewing for me.

The thing is, I don't like Superman that much. He's too powerful. They need to raise the stakes more in his movies. I love that there's no krypnonite in this movie. It always ends up being someone who isn't a match for him having to resort to waving a rock around in front of his face.

I like most of Zack Snyder's film, so I'm very excited. Plus the movie has Zod, so the stakes will definitely be there.

Wonder what it would do to a person if you ate too much super cow meat?

I'm a laid back guy SLC, it's gonna take a lot more than you not liking a movie that I like to offend me, don't worry! :) I actually understand you not liking 2001.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you have to get up at 5am for school? Long way away?

I totally feel what your saying about some teachers. I've had some terrible ones as well. Because i'm a very tall guy, one teacher used to think I was a bully from seeing an incident out of context. I was joking around shaking a guy from my class, not serious at all, then I looked up and saw her looking at me from the distance. I already knew I was in trouble. I went into the computer room and was talking to my friends. I kept peeking out, and she just kept coming! She was like 30 metres away, but she was going very slow. Ha! Then the bell rang! I had to go out, just as she met me at the door. She looked at me angrily, I said "look", and before I could get anything else out she was abusing the shit out of me! I didn't get one word in so I could defend myself. What a bitch. From then on when I went past she would yell stuff to me in German, which I later learnt meant, warning. Weird.

Well, I buy the movies I know I like. I record many movies on my foxtel (it currently has 5% available space) and when i watch a movie with my brother-in-law, he downloads it. That's how I saw the 'classic' Manborg.

I love me some violence, so to see how violent Watchmen was for a superhero movie, was a delight. But I actually was lukewarm towards it when i first watched the movie in the cinema. The second time I had a lot more fun watching The Comedian and Rorschach. I actually love slow-mo action scenes and just the overall aesthetic Of the movie. It looks like a comic book come to life. Some things annoy me, but I'll tell you if you see it. Don't want anything to stick out as annoying for you straight away.

The humor was alright, a little kiddie, but they were the key audience anyway. I'm absolutely unapologetic (not saying you were attacking me about it) about my love for that movie. It's a 9/10 for me. Absolutely great Australian-American movie.

Sucker Punch is so tame, SLC. It's only rated M. The highlight was how the opening was shot. It looked great. The action is good, but it's storyline is ridiculous. If this was MA15+, I think I would of enjoyed it more. And don't get me started on the ''dance'' scenes, just stupid. You'll know what I mean if you see it. I still have the extended cut of Sucker Punch, I should give it a watch to see if it's better.

Hm. Greatest films of all time? I'd have to say Star Wars, The Godfather I and II, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, and maybe a few others. All of those films are important to cinema.

I recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended versions of all 3 films) and I liked Return of the King the most and was disappointed by the other 2. The first time I watched the trilogy (theatrical versions of all 3 films) I was blown away by Fellowship. Which version of all 3 films do you prefer? Also I would recommend that you watch The Thin Red Line and Road to Perdition. Some of the most underrated films in history if you ask me. For the Thin Red Line I would recommend to be open-minded (the movie is not for everyone) and if you like what you see, the movie becomes an experience. For Road to Perdition, probably my favorite of the decade. They are both uploaded in 1080p on Yify's website. What film would you recommend to me? (I also just downloaded Raging Bull) I also really love your list and it's variety of movies. I really have to watch Terminator 2 again because I watched the version that is on Yify and I was really bored and disappointed. Is that the best version or should I download another version, and if yes, which one?

That's great that you're really into watching films now! This site is really good for finding hidden gems too :)

I really like Superman 1 & 2, but 3 & 4 really weren't up to scratch.
I'm avoiding trailers and promos for Man Of Steel, just like I avoided the Into Darkness trailers(I loved Into Darkness too).

As for Star Wars and LOTR, I need to revisit them and re-evaluate how I feel about them. With SW, I don't remember enough about them, and maybe I shouldn't have ranked them when they came up on the screen. I might have watched LOTR when I wasn't in the right mood. I found that it kinda dragged and I was waiting for it to end....but I might love it if I watch it again, so I'll put it on my rewatch list. :)

The Goonies is another nostalgic favourite, I can't count how many times I've seen it, I could probably quote the whole movie, lol.

I will hopefully be seeing Django soon, can't wait :)

I give all movies a fair go until I see reasons otherwise. As soon as I saw Smith say 'animals have evolved to kill humans', despite no humans being on the planet! my expectations dropped really low.

The who.e Django thing just reveals his ego. The weird thing is his son is the lead in After Earth! I guess then that Smith only makes way for another Smith. All of this has made me think less of him.

I think it would of been interesting to Smith try something different other than the usual blockbusters. But if this a sign of Smith doing the same all the time, then I think people will soon b turning away. I really wouldn't be surprised if he pushes for a fast-tracked Men in Black 4 or Bad Boys 3, so to try and remind people why they 'like' him.

Hey I see that you saw Mean Streets, what did you think of the film and Robert Deniro's performance? I think the film is great as the first collaboration between Scorsese and Deniro, he stole the show in every scene, and Harvey Keitel is awesome, I laughed my ass off with that "If the queen had b*lls..." joke. I also think that the Keitel-Deniro pairing in this film may be my favorite duo in the world. They have such amazing chemistry. Also what is your favorite male-male duo?

I had to close my eyes and cover my ears in Fast 6 because they were playing the trailer. I saw the start, how it's all static, because I thought it was a horror movie. As soon as I heard it was Michael Shannon, I moved quick!

If you do plan to watch the Fast and Furious movies, avoid spoilers for the end of six! It wouldn't be as satisfying if you knew what or whom was coming. :)

We're late with movies, and they hate showing horror movies like The Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead, which both had a really limited release.

Some Fast and Furious movies aren't great. I haven't seen part three, but I think I'll go back and watch it because the last movie links them all together quite nicely (not a spoiler) Because the events in the third movie (Tokyo Drift) actually happen after four, five and six. I would rank them like this: 5, 6, 1, 4 and 2.

The movie definitely isn't a masterpiece, it has some flaws in the pacing department but I still would call it great. Also Jeff Bridges-John Goodman (The Big Lebowski)
Clint Eastwood-Eli Wallach (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
Bruce Willis-Samuel L. Jackson (Die Hard With a Vengeance)
Chris Pine-Zachary Quinto (Star Trek)
Morgan Freeman-Brad Pitt (Se7en). So many great duos.Also Casino and Heat are great. Casino is so underrated.

Not much to do about it, but it's very frustrating when you start thinking about it. What I hate more is when we don't get big movies in the cinemas like Evil Dead and The Cabin in the Woods. Well, three cinemas, but that's nothing. Australia really seem like they don't like releasing horror movies.

I actually don't understand the thinking of delaying Man of Steel. The reason would probably annoy me. The only thing the only thing I can think of is if a movie studio has another movie out, so they aren't competing with themselves.

Yeah, the same with Blu Rays. I think there is a rule about how long a movie is out of the cinema before it's gets released. So if America gets it in the cinema, it will always be ahead with Blu Rays. It sucks, I know.

Have you seen the trailer for The Cabin in the Woods? It would be better if you haven't, like me, and watch it without no knowledge of the movie.

In a perfect world, yes, it would be great to get movies like that in the cinema. But the fact is they need longer to make the budgets back. With that system, the movies would have dated special effects. With two weeks, the cinemas wouldn't make any money either. In the first two weeks, the studios take the majority of the money. It's in the following weeks where they take a share of the movie tickets. If they didn't, we'd see even higher prices for snacks and drinks.

What I would prefer is to be less 3d movies. Unless they're in proper 3d, it shouldn't be allowed. When you look what's at the cinema, sometimes it's only about four movies that are in 2d and 3d. All these studios wonder why 3d is declining! It's because they keep releasing a shit product! For every Life of Pi and Avatar, you get twice as many post-converted shit like Clash of the Titans and The Green Hornet.

Gattaca is a pretty good movie. We watched it in Religion, because our latest topic is: morals and ethics.

Believe it or not I am amped for Man of Steel, I am avoiding all reviews of it, so I can create my own perception about the film. I know for a fact it wont be better than The Dark Knight or The Avengers, but it has a strong chance of coming close.

Commando kicks ass. Just one of those re-watchable 80's movies, but in terms of the best Arnold film: PRedator is the pinnacle.

It's fine if Watchmen doesn't work for you now, or later. Do you have any questions about any if it?

You might have to learn to be a bit calmer with trailers, if I'm honest with you. It's only going to have you get burnt on a number of occasions in the future. When I watch a trailer, if I like it, I say to myself- "yep I'll see that", and put it out of my brain. Or as you know, I won't watch it at all, but that's really to avoid spoilers.

Actually, I have a question for you. Where on your list does the movies start being good to you? Because Watchmen seems quite high on your list, yet you don't like it. I'm just interested.

Hey. :)

All I hear about is that the ROTK has too many endings, that it's terrible. It really didn't bother me at all! With so many characters, how could you just have one ending?

It's between Gandalf and Aragorn as my favourite. I might be leaning towards Gandalf. But Sam in ROTK is right up there as well.

For me:

"YOU, SHALL NOT, PASS!!!" and "fly, you fools!"
Gollum vs Smeagol
I really like when Aragron says "For Frodo". As well as "You don't bow to no one"

I've probably seen the three movies all the way through about three times each (including the Blu Ray extended versions) However, I have watched the film many times in random places when it's been on foxtel.

I wasn't very impressed with the Mandarin twist either. But listen to the way The Mandarin delivered lines, he's totally hamming it up. I think Kingsley intentionally played him as a bad actor. But when you really think about it, The Mandarin is still in the movie, it's just not who people expected. Plus making Killian the Mandarin brings in the backstory from the start of the movie. I see why it didn't work for you, though. But if I may say, i think you should at least give it one more shot in a few months. Knowing what you know (The Mandarin is Killian) watch it to see if works for you the next time.

I enjoyed how much he was out of his suit too. Having to use his brain to fight the enemies.

I really didn't like Iron Man 2. So I was happy when the movie had a unique spin on the superhero movie. Did you see it? What a waste of Mickey Rourke that movie was!

I saw the trailer, and one bit got me more excited than it should of. You know Tony's big suit at the end? Well, I thought that was the Hulk in his own suit. I think that would of been awesome.

Yeah, some of them are real. But I think all of them should of been real except for a bird's eye view of an army, that I would understand. I think the LOTR goblins are far scarier as well! Looking at the Hobbit goblins, they don't have the same menace to them. You don't see the blackness in them.

Yeah, but I think kids can handle a bit of darkness and scary parts. I think it's the parents who worry too much about that. A movie like The Hobbit isn't going to mentally scar kids. I remember movies I like as a kid had scary elements to them.

I like that you're are showing some resolve to not watch the second Hobbit trailer.

I just wanted to tell you a way the movie could work for you. Because every movie should be attempted to be like. I'm not saying you didn't do this, but I'm just trying to help you like it more. If you still don't like it after, that's fine.

To be honest, I never even thought about that with Pepper. All I was thinking was that it was obvious that she wasn't dead.

I also like the fact that in this movie it wasn't a guy in a suit vs a guy in a suit. I think if that happened, it would of started to feel a bit stale.

I loved the fight when he's only got the hand and foot on. I thought that was a great idea from Black.

I hated the goblin king, or whatever he was. He had such a stupid death. What was the line? Well anyway, his line was stupid as well. Something like "I'm dead". Plus he had balls for a chin. :)

Yeah, Man of Steel is a very good film, but it isn't perfect. Also, you are correct TTT and Kill Bill Vol. 2 did move up. I have been watching my favorite trilogies in the last couple of weeks and I decided that I like ROTK more than ROTJ. Also Lord of the Rings moved past Star Wars as my second favorite trilogy (behind Batman).

Honestly, I'll probably like Man of Steel better after another viewing, but my first viewing did leave me disappointed. A few reasons for that include:

- I didn't like the way the story was structured. The nonlinear way it was put together just didn't, for lack of a better word, flow.

- The plot line involving the Codex was a bit convoluted. This is something that will likely not bother me in my next viewing (since I now know what it is and what its implications are).

- Every villain, aside from General Zod, was either anonymous or semi-anonymous. The movie needed some more well-defined villains.

- Michael Shannon disappointed me as General Zod. Since Superman is such an inherently bland character, it is up to the villain(s) to provide the personality of the film. Gene Hackman did it, as did Terence Stamp. Hell, even Kevin Spacey did in that other disappointing Superman flick. In my eyes, Shannon just didn't "bring it." He was too reserved, too one-note. I just didn't like the performance.

- The action in the movie was too monotonous and uncreative. The fight between Zod and Superman was basically just the guys taking turns ramming each into/through walls and stuff. Not exactly Batman versus the Joker.

On the plus side, I thought Henry Cavill acquitted himself well, as did Kevin Costner and Diane Lane. I think now that this franchise has gotten all of the origin story out of the way, the sequel(s) have the potential to be great. I guess we'll see.

Totally frustrating for you, I understand. But personally, once I found out who the real Mandarin was, I just transferred my feelings for the original Mandarin onto him. He was still doing what the original Mandarin was doing, even more so really. Lurking in the shadows, not showing his true face.

I really enjoyed it as a kid but err... somehow I don't remember much about the story. The opening chase is still fresh in my memory but the rest of the stuff is sorta blurry. Haven't rewatched it as much as Raiders and Last Crusade. Just coincidental that and not quite a conscious decision on my part. I guess I was hanging on to fond memories when I posted that comment. I'll rewatch it soon. Maybe it'll still impress me, maybe it won't (my tastes have changed a lot over the years). We'll find out!

As you may have seen from my list, Fellowship is considerably ahead and TTT and RotK are about in the same range. I really love the scenes at the Shire. Such peaceful and scenic beauty. It makes the coming journey worth the hardships and sacrifices. Also makes Fellowship the most distinguishable of all three. Two Towers and King are too dark and dreary but they are also extremely entertaining. The battle in the former is epic and well directed, and the Mount Doom scenes in the latter are some of the most dramatically intense scenes in film. It's a great trilogy. I'd go into further detail but I'm really drowsy right now :D

Have you heard the story of why Flickchart was made? Apparently the guys who started it saw that Pulp Fiction was higher than the Empire Strikes Back on IMDb's top 250 and they wanted to see what people really thought or something like that. It's a pretty interesting story. You can see it on Wikipedia.

Hey, Dinelka. :)

Liking the quote. :)

I can't get enough of The Joker! What an amazing performance from Ledger.

Well, The Joker is unpredictable, he probably wanted to make Batman squirm. It's all a joke to him, so he probably just thought it was hilarious to drop her.

Two Face buckling up was enough for me. The guy survived having half his face burnt of, I think it's possible for him to survive a car crash. I just think the anger felt by two face keeps driving him from dying.

I take it down to the fact that The Joker really doesn't like rats in suits. Think back to that Asian man that he said would squeal. Plus I think that The Joker wanted to reveal the identity himself, not some other guy- that's why He wanted Coleman Reese killed. You could also look at it like this- The Joker might not even care about the identity of Batman, he just likes to turn people against him, which he's successful at doing. Also, if Batman is revealed, Joker's fun is over! He wants to keep the 'game' going.

Hey, apologies for the late reply. I'm really bad at checking comments on my profile.

Took me about three weeks after it opened to finally see Star Trek Into Darkness. I have it ranked #7 out of the 12 feature films, which means I think it's the weakest of the ones that are genuinely good.

Like Star Trek '09, though, I expect it to grow on me.

The best things about it? Both Cumberbatch and Weller rocked their roles.

The worst? Everything that was supposed to read "homage" screamed "ripoff". Still, it's an interesting effort.

I noticed you haven't seen any Nicolas Cage movies other than Ant Bully.

This is how I classify him. If he get a good script, or a great part, he's awesome. But he does go for the pay cheque quite a bit, so that's when he's bad. He actually was in trouble with money a few years ago- he had to sell his castle! :D

The good: Birdy, Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Red Rock West, Bringing Out the Dead, The Family Man, Adaptation, Matchstick Men, Lord of War, Kick-Ass, Vampire's Kiss, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call- New Orleans (last two great for how crazy he is)

The bad: Zandalee (although some of it's great for his crazy acting :D) Amos & Andrew, Deadfall, (I haven't seen it, but I know it's bad but I want to see it because he acts crazy) Trapped in Paradise, City of Angels, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, National Treasure 1 and 2(although, some people love them), The Wicker Man (but he does punch people in a bear suit :D), Ghost Rider 1 and 2, Next, Bangkok Dangerous, Season of the Witch, Knowing, Seeking Justice, Trespass and 8mm.

Action: I can't say good or bad acting in these movies, I just know which movies I like and dislike. Face/Off (good) Con Air (good, in a cheesy way) The Rock (good) Snake Eyes (bad) Gone in Sixty Seconds (alright)

Hey, Dinelka

I wouldn't be running out to see Monsters Uni because it's been a very divisive movie. Personally, I was in the mood for something that was an easy watch and gave me a few laughs- it delivered greatly. I think it helped the score because I was in a very good mood today as well. I think it's 10%(I'm going on what you said! :D) less is because I missed the persons of the kid from the first movie. She provided the heart of the movie.

More importantly........I saw Man of Steel! :) I really loved the movie! Although, it did have a few parts that annoyed me. I'll let you kick off the spoiler discussion. Make sure to give a warning. :)

The movie is a bit before your time in my profile pic, it's Dennis the Menace. Kate and I were talking about it the other day. We both watched it many times as kids. The discussion just brought back fond memories. That's why I changed it from Benedict Cumberbatch.

"Furious" is extreme.

There was no reason for Cumberbatch to be Khan other than the fact that they wanted to remake Star Trek II. That said, it's not bad for a remake.

I know it's going to be like the '09 Trek, and it will only grow on me on repeat viewings.

Don't expect anything amazing for Dennis the Menace, it's just a movie you don't take seriously so you can have a laugh. Christopher Lloyd is great as the villain. Some of the things that happen to him made me laugh so much as a kid! :D

I'm going to buy The Devil Rides Out Blu Ray with Christopher Lee! :) I think you'll like that pick. :)

I'm also buying The Little Girl Who Live Down the Lane. It stars Martin Sheen and a young Jodie Foster. I think she might of murdered someone by the sound of it.

They do free podcast every week, then they do premium eps that you can listen to for the minimum cost of 99 cents. I've never listened to any of them. I just go through iTunes to listen to the free eps. They must be on the site as well.

You can't watch Film Junk, it's just audio. :) I actually love the length. It gives them time to relax and go in tangents. The three of them(used to be four, he was asked to leave) are very different people. I found out about so many movies that I've never heard of because of this podcast

I loved every second of Django Unchained- that's what I thought about it. :) 10/10.

No holidays for me, I'm too old. :)

Some of Pixar's shorts are awesome, like Presto. :)

The only thing I didn't like about Django was Tarantino's Aussie accent. :) Still 10/10.

I enjoyed World War Z quite a bit. I'd give it an 8/10. One female zombie was the creepiest thing I've seen in a movie for some time.

The Godfather is one of those movies that I can kind of appreciate as being a good film, yet didn't really find myself hooked by. I had a similar kind of reaction to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Back to Star Trek Into Darkness (spoilers)...

The aping of all the scenes from The Wrath of Khan didn't really work for me, in this sense: The emotional impact is not the same, because you KNOW that Chris Pine will be standing at the end of the movie. (Of course, it's fully foreshadowed by the dead tribble, too.)

YET, Kirk's sacrifice works very well in terms of the arc for his character. I did love how Into Darkness came straight out of the previous film, where Kirk had his ridiculously meteoric rise to the captain's chair.

In this film, he does actually EARN his captaincy, and the sacrifice is part of that. So, in that way, it works. It's just not as emotionally effective as TWOK (even knowing now, in hindsight, that Spock comes back for the next movie).

Cumberbatch does an amazing performance as Khan, but the character himself has no real presence, because his history is so glossed over, and really, there's no reason he couldn't have been just anyone. So why is a guy named Khan Noonien Singh suddenly British?!

As I say, the movie is likely to grow on me. I did have a thorough amount of fun.

Oh, and besides containing possibly the last great performances that De Niro and Pacino have ever given (of course, De Niro was Oscar nominated for Silver Linings Playbook, but I haven't seen it yet), Heat contains the single greatest action sequence I have ever seen put to film.

It's worth it just for that one scene in the middle. I still get shivers.

It was mesmerising this time around. It's very riveting and you feel invested in its characters. The making of the film makes it all the more better as well. But I insist you view it on Blu-Ray (if you haven't done so) because it truly is one of the greatest buys.

Oh, you heard your first Reed Farrington ep! :D He's weird, but he grows on you. Reed Farrington is actually his podcast persona- his real name is Gerry Eng. If you feel like trying to understand him, listen to the Cantankerous(not many eps to listen to) podcast. It's Jay and Sean asking Reed a bunch of questions. You could also look Reed up on YouTube to see how he lives. Jay filmed him in his house! :D He's very strange. With Star Trek, you got to understand that he's a HUGE Star Trek fan(you'll see if you watch the YouTube vids), his whole life revolves around Star Trek.

Hopefully they grow on you a bit. :) For me, Film Junk feels like a proper conversation with friends. Other podcasts feel more like radio- loud and dumb. They have some laughs, though.

I see that you didn't care much for A Bug's Life. I admit that most of my love for it probably comes from nostalgia. A Bug's Life along with Toy Story 1 and 2 have been with me for as long as I can remember. Toy Story came out the year before I was born, ABL when I was 2, and TS2 when I was 3. Monsters Inc. is the first Pixar film that I remember seeing in theaters (I was 5) though I probably saw Bug's Life and Toy Story 2, but I don't remember. So yeah, A Bug's Life has a lot of nostalgia going for it. Ha Ha

As I'm sure you know, Tarantino is my favorite director and honestly I love all 8 of his films. I actually have had a few Tarantino marathons the most recent one being at the end of May. So it will probably be a couple months before my next one. I have been watching my favorite film series's since the beginning of June. I have watched Star Wars, Batman, Middle Earth, and now the Pixar films. After I'm done with Pixar I'll being watching some of my favorite Disney animated films like The Lion King, Aladdin, and Mulan.

I think from looking at the votes that I'm confident in the movies at the top, so no need to rank them. If I recall, movies like Rambo(yes, I remember you hate it :D) and stuff like that have heaps of votes because I keep swaying on it.

I did hear the podcast, I listen to the eps as soon as I can. I even went back and listened to al the old eps. One ep Jay gets angry because he keeps failing his license(they have to re-do driving tests in Canada after a certain amount of years) when his 82 year old grandma passed! :D Hilarious! liked World War Z's style. It's turned the zombie on it's head to have it more like a action adventure movie. I found it very tense at the end as well.

I did laugh at MU, but most of the time I just had a smile on my face. For me, I'm more forgiving than the Film Junk boys for movies like this(especially Jay). Who knows, it might not hold up on re-watch, but at the moment I thought it was good. Was it you I told that I was in a great mood that day? That could of been helpful for the movie. Oh, I didn't even think about how the characters changed. That might annoy me on re-watch.

What MU conversation going to change into?! :D

JC13 has talked to me a couple times, but YOU!! You're always bugging me. :D Do I have to say I'm kidding? I hope you know. :)

I doubt my top ten as well, but, I want it to be for sure if I move a movie from there. It's fine how you do it as well, I just have a different tactic. :)

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't think I would make a YouTube channel. What happened with Conner's channel? He seemed to of stopped doing it.

Why do you keep calling it PG-13 like you're American? :) We have to talk about World War Z after you see it. There is still deaths, still violence, but it's off camera a bit, you just don't get the money shots of gore. What it's much better at is action and tension, compared to other zombie movies

I was worried for a second, but I'm glad you were kidding. :D You know I think you're Aussie anyway from my previous comments. But you've got to be careful talking about race, saying it in the wrong way will get you in the shit. That's cool you can speak another language. Do you sound right? Or do you sound like an Aussie trying to speak it? :)

Yep, I'm in my 20's, but I never watched Siskel and Ebert.

I don't mind De Niro in Jackie Brown because he playing a character that's nothing like what he usually plays in these crime movies. He's usually the slick, level headed crim with a plan. So I found it interesting to see him play an idiot.

Tarantino loves Blaxploitation movies! It was inevitable that he made his own version. But I agree, it's strange that he got the story from a novel.

I like it a bit more than you, I'd give it a 9/10. It's also not my least favourite Tarantino movie- that would be Death Proof.

Well I hope you have fun with all your marathons as well. As for Jackie Brown I love it, but I didn't the first time I saw it. It was on my second viewing that I fell in love with it. The same goes for Death Proof. Compared to his other six films they aren't as good, but if you just watch them without having huge expectations or comparing them to his other films I find them a lot more enjoyable. Have you seen Death Proof?

Oh, and to answer your question about Tarantino and Django Unchained. When he was describing what the African American was doing, he'd call them the 'n' word. For example, 'the 'n' word walked into the bar to have a drink. The only thing I can think of was that he was writing it that way to inspire him to how racist it was back then. It's still looks pretty bad!

Fun, isn't the word for The Paperboy by the look of it so far. It seems like it's going to be a very weird and disturbing movie. Hopefully in a good way.

What's your thoughts on the planned sequel to Finding Nemo, Finding Dory?

I have only seen Man of Steel once. I watched Once Upon a Time in the West for the 4th time and it has moved up every time I have watched it. Shawshank moved up over 100 places believe it or not. Ha Ha. I loved it the first time, but this time it was so much better.

What did you think of Reed on the Star Trek ep?

I can see The Simpsons lasting still for another five to ten years. It's too big to get cancelled easily. Just in merchandise alone they would make a huge fortune.

I think many movies on imdb around the 6 mark are quite good. It's when they're in the low five's and less when they truly have nothing to offer.

I'd love an Incredibles 2 sequel! But ONLY if the original team were involved.

Disbelief because some parts were pretty gross to be honest. :D I turned it off for a bit(watching the movies in pieces). But I think I may still end up enjoying the movie. I've enjoyed every Matthew McConaughey for the last three years. Why wasn't he in movies like this all the time!? I'll be very interested to see how he goes as the lead in Nolan's Intersteller.

It's nothing like Darabont's two prison movies, but I still love it. Thomas Jane is in a mall when a mist appears, containing creatures trying to kill them. I personally love the movie. It feels like a 50's monster movie. In fact, The Mist DVD allows you to watch the movie in black and white. Darabont originally wanted the movie to be released to the cinemas like this, but the studio didn't want it. Just so you know, the movie isn't for everyone. The ending alone is, I can't say! But it would annoy quite a few people. Not I! :)

I love the plots for both movies! But I think it's because they're more like Star Wars. I personally am not a fan of the old Star Trek show, which I found quite boring. If they enjoy all that stuff, I sort of see why they dislike the new movies.

It still doesn't stop Reed collecting the new Spock's cereal box and other stuff like that! :D

Less so lately. I'm older than you, so I've seen the old eps of The Simpsons countless times. But I'll watch an ep if I see it's on. It usually on the weekend when they do those huge marathons in the morning.

Shaun was really boring and unfunny. I can't stress enough on "unfunny". An important thing to note is that it's extremely unfunny. I don't think it's a question of me not understanding British humor. It's just that Simon Pegg is so horribly unfunny. His attempts at comedy in Ghost Protocol were painful as well. If you're looking for a good zombie-comedy, I'd recommend Zombieland.

Only TTT and RotK have moved up places on my chart. Fellowship retained its original position. Yeah, I've always preferred LotR to SW.

The only way you'd annoy me is if you insult me as a person, which I hope you wouldn't do.

There is as many people who love the ending of The Mist as there is people who dislike it. I understand why they don't like it, but it's a welcome change to normal Hollywood movies. I can't say much, but you'll see what I mean when you see it. :)

I must have about 10 to 15 new movies in my top 50. :)

I'm a huge Viggo Mortensen fan. LotR was awesome in its own way, but his presence would really cheer up my spirits. He's not there in The Hobbit so I'm not very enthusiastic for it. Will probably see it soon, though.

I've discussed TDKR extensively on message boards and I assure you, there are no plot holes. Some scenes require you to suspend disbelief big time, but nothing contradicts the storyline. For example, sending the entire Gotham police underground is dumb, but not a plot hole. I know you didn't mean to refer to them when you mentioned "flaws". Just something I wanted to point out to you.

I hear Prometheus is full of plot holes lmao. Is this true, or is Prometheus also a victim of nitpicky criticisms like TDKR? I'm bugging you 'cause I was just gifted the Prometheus blu-ray. Wanna get a good idea about what all to expect.

Then you have no reason to worry about what I'm going to say about anything you're worried about. Did you get me? It's just so you know you don't have to think if something will annoy me. So if any of my comments seem annoyed with you, don't read into them much, I'm just being farcical.

For example, You're gonna watch The Mist tonight!!!!!!!! Would not be taken seriously. :D

You've got to go into more details about your hate for Lock Stock. I'm curious to know. Have you seen other similar movies like Rocknrolla, Snatch, Revolver and Layer Cake?

Straight to number 2 for TDKR! :D It may look like a fanboy move, but I'm not into that shit. I genuinely love it, despite the flaws(that I totally see). I'll get into that later(maybe tomorrow?).

Man, I've got to give you credit, you come up with questions I've never thought of. Nice work. :) Haha, no Joker eh!! :D you just made it an even race! :D

What your thoughts on Empire Strikes Back falling out of my top ten?

The Dark Knight- Haha! I'm tempted to say William Fichtner! I love his small part as the gangster bank manager! :D But, I'll say Gary Oldman.

The Dark Knight Rises- Tie between Bale and Hardy. I love Hardy's physical performance. He s'mores so much considering you can't see his mouth.

300- Gerard Butler, easy. :)

FOTR- Ian Mckellen

Kick-Ass- Ooh! Shit, Dinelka! I'll have to go for Chloe Grace Moretz, but Nicolas Cage is right on her heels.

Shoot 'Em Up- Clive Owen, but Paul Giamatti plays an awesome villain.

Star Wars- Harrison Ford

Shawshank Redemption- Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I can't split them up! They come as a duo in my opinion. ;)

Two Towers- Ian Mckellen

Taxi Driver- Robert De Niro(obviously!)

I'm saying more about for future comments because I want it to be an open dialogue between us without worries, do you get me? All I'm saying is you can question any decisions I've made (bad in your eyes) without worrying about an angered response. I would like the same the other way. What do you think?

Something has to give, but it's so very close between the top 20 that it's so very minor the change.

Dumb and Dumber was a HUGE change. I have watched that movie so much! I can nearly quote the whole movie(not even kidding), and I still find it funny. So a movie like this really should be up high. You'll notice that Dredd, Vampire's Kiss,The Raid, Drive, District 9, 12 Angry Men, The Treasure of the Sierre Madre, In Bruges, My Left Foot, Schindler's List, The Green Mile,Looper, Iron Man 3(yes I know what your thinking), Star Trek and Into Darkness are some of the movies that made some big moves.

I thought Maggie Gyllenhaal was an upgrade on Katie Holmes. She really didn't bother me to be honest.

Bro, I detested Bane's death as well. But upon thinking further, it makes total sense. The terror and fear surrounding Bane was due to the myth -- the legend that he was the mighty warrior who was able to defy all odds and escape from that hellish prison (Bruce assumes the child was Bane). With the ironic Talia reveal, we find out that it wasn't him but Tallia who had escaped. So you see, the image of indestructibility is broken. We now see him for what he is, fallible and mortal. The impenetrable exterior is broken the same way Bane had broken Bruce's will in the sewer fight. He was already in a very vulnerable position after Batman's pounding. Catwoman then blasts him to shreds as if he were ordinary. Watch it with these points in mind and maybe, just maybe, you won't find it as frustrating.

If you re-watch it, look at Jeff Daniels when Jim Carrey says 'You want to hear the most annoying sound in the world? Arrrrrrrrhhhhhh!' He looks confused, then bursts out laughing because that part wasn't in the script. :)

I like all those movies.......except for Citizen Kane! I stand behind my decision as well. I understand why everybody likes it, but it's not for me.

You hated the British accents?! :D Maybe you shouldn't watch Snatch! Brad Pitt put on an Irish gypsie accent that you can't understand(purposely).

I loved Schindler's List on only my first viewing. It was a big mover in my chart.

One time. I answered the other day how many time I've seen Man of Steel, Dinelka. Remember? I said i live in the country and go to the city and watch a bunch of new releases in a row. Four hours, Dinelka. That's how far away the cinema is.

Some of my favourite scenes. Now Dinelka, I've seen many more movies than you, so you may not know the references. I will also try and keep it spoiler free. I also tried to pick scenes from movies outside my top ten because I've spoken about them in the past.

The Shining- 'Here's Johnny!'
There Will Be Blood- The End
No Country For Old Men- 'Flip a coin'
The Untouchables- the bat scene and Connery's how to get Capone scene
The French Connection- car chase
Ronin- car chase
Taxi Driver- 'Are you talkin' to me?'
Sling Blade- 'French fried potatas mhhmmm'
The Cabin in the Woods- the elevator doors open to reveal....
Shane- end scene.
On the Waterfront- 'I coulda been a contender'
Dumb and Dumber(really the whole movie)- the trip in the van with the bad guy and the snowball fight
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans- Can't say without spoiling
Battleship Potempkin- The Odessa steps
Pulp Fiction- Jules' bible passage diner scene
Tokyo Story- 'life is a disappointment'. This movie punched me in the gut. Amazing.
Oldboy- Hallway hammer fight
The Mist twist :D Also a reveal of a creature in the mist at the end that I love(nothing to do with the twist).
Strangers on a Train- carousel scene
Dog Day Afternoon- 'Attica!'
Schindler's List- the girl in the red coat
Ten Things I Hate About You- Ledger singing down the steps. I know, Dinelka! :D
Army of Darkness- 'Shop smart.....Shop S-Mart!!'
The Raid- Hallway action scene and wall scene
Universal Soldier- Day of Reckoning- Opening first person shot scene and the hallway action scene.
Kung Fu Hustle- Too many scenes to count. :)
Tombstone- Gunfight at O.K Corral

That's a few for you to look at. :) I think I've got a good mix in there to show how divers my taste can be. :) Looking at this list, I realise I love action in hallways! :D

But two that really stick out for me personally are the Toy Story 3 and Star Trek scenes. That part of Start Trek is one of my favourite scenes of the movie.

Spider-Man series is worth at least one sitting. It's my third favorite trilogy after TDK and LotR.

2001 is the most boring film I've ever seen, but it's not because of its slow pace. Jesse James, Zodiac, and Days of Heaven are slow-paced as well. One reason is the film's classical soundtrack. As a kid, I'd watch the Looney Toons Show and some episodes used the same piece... that annoying DA DA DA DA DA DUM DUM DUM DUM. Even as a kid, the music would make me want to stick a nail into my eye socket. Secondly, the film is too self-indulgent. Each scene moves slowly and little to nothing happens. The characters aren't developed, apparently to lower the contrast between the indifferent human characters and the vibrant HAL. Eh, a character can be emotionally distant and still be developed (Ford in Blade Runner). By the time the Hal scenes came, I had totally lost interest in the film. Then there's the frustrating ending with colors and aerial shots and whatnot. It's definitely a film that's not for me.

The Dark Knight- A few scenes without Joker or Batman in the middle left me slightly bored.

The Dark Knight Rises- Talia.

300- the weird looking guy betraying Leonidis.

Fellowship- Gandalf needed a longer beard.

Kick-Ass- I wish I liked Kick-Ass as much as i liked Hit Girl

Shoot 'Em Up- The storyline could of been better.

Star Wars- The weak spot is a little hole on the where they can blast it.

I have been trying to think of one for Shawshank! I can't, and I give up! I thought about it for half an hour, I sick of thinking about it.

I'm sorry, Dinelka, I can't think of any for the last few either. I can't think straight, I've had numbers circling inside my head for ten hours at work, I don't really have the patience to think about it at the moment. No offense is meant, you know that. :)

To be honest, Citizen Kane bored me. I wish I liked it, but I'm nit putting it high on my list because it's well regarded. If I see it again and like it, I'll move it.

I love that you love the old Superman movies, but I never think of them. To be honest, I'm not actually a fan of Superman as a character. He's too strong, has one weakness(which gets tiring for me). They could potentially move up a little bit, but they'll never be near the top. I like this! No holding back what you want to ask me! Great work. :)

Yeah, a little too high for Watchmen. But I love Rorschach! He keeps it at that level on my list.

I couldn't agree with you more about wanting the friends rankings box back on film pages. It's not as much fun when you can't see how others rank your films. I hope they bring it back sharpish.

It's great you enjoyed the soundtrack, but it wasn't composed by John Williams. The soundtrack is a collection of classical and orchestral pieces hand-picked by Kubrick himself. Had I been a fan of the soundtrack, I would've enjoyed 2001 so much more. Really took me outta the whole experience.

Yeah, 2001 is just painfully slow. Really the only interesting part of the film is with HAL. As for Casablanca I will probably watch it soon.

1. The Hottie and the Nottie- Paris Hilton's lazy eye. :D

2. Antichrist- The talking fox and some of the beautiful shots.

3. Shortbus- I think I'd feel wrong if I liked any of this movie.

4. 12(title is roman rumerals). It has gore in it. That's all.

5. Alvin and the Chipmunks- Jason Lee I guess.

6. Swept Away- Madonna's character being forced to do what she's told. Too bad she doesn't listen to people in real life and stops making music.

7. From Justin to Kelly- Um.........Because it's the last time we saw Justin do anything.

8. Son of the Mask- This movie is so bad! They kept the mask green, I guess. :D

9. Delta Farce- it has guns.

10. Hero and the Terror- Chuck Norris!!

Why did you watch Hellraiser 2 if you hated the first so much?

It's Ennio Morricone- of course I loved The Good, the Bad and the Ugly score. I also really love his work on The Untouchables score. I recommend you watch it. :)

You have a point, but Williams' scores can be repetitive as well. His scores are more orchestral in style whereas Zimmer's are more electronic, especially when he's not co-composing with anyone. The involvement of James Howard Newton makes the Batman Begins soundtrack my favorite of the trilogy. Newton's involvement in TDK's compositions was a little lesser, and Zimmer composed the TDKR score all by himself.

Okay, my favourite moments from 11-20.

11. Dumb and Dumber- the snowball fight and Harry on the toilet.

12. Raiders- The opening

13. Empire Strike Back- 'I am your father'

14. Sin City- Marv taking out a bunch of cops.

15. Return of the King- 'For Frodo', 'You bow to no one', and 'I am no man'

16. Scarface- The ending

17 Reservoir Dogs- Michael Madsen's dance, then the ear chopping.

18. Inception- does it stop spinning? Led to great conversations.

19. Cape Fear- Just De Niro's whole performance. He's my favourite. I also love the firework scene

20. Evil Dead 2- My favourite moments are spoilers.

I'm gonna get to your Man of Steel questions today, Dinelka. Count on it. :)

Yeah I guess I am a big Star Wars fan. I'm actually quite critical of the prequels for all the obvious reasons in comparison to the original trilogy. But then again it's still Star Wars and I like it, a love-hate relationship perhaps? I like your ideas for a new filter. What I would like to see is some bars similar to the decades one, but they display home many films you have seen based on their ranking. So for example I might have seen 50 films ranked from 100-300 and 69 films ranked from 2300-2750 or something. It would be a cool way to see how many people have seen lower ranked or more obscure films.

I know how big a fan of Brando you are, so I had to share the following. Get ready, it's a bit crazy! :)

Ron Perlman was on the set of The Island of Dr. Moreau with Brando for the first time with the cast doing a script read.

Brando finished the line, there was a pause, then Brando said 'Your turn arsehole!'

Perlman was thinking 'Boy, I'm glad I'm not that person'

Brando then swung around and looked him in the eyes and said 'Hey! I said it was your turn, arsehole!'

Later, Perlman was just standing there looking at Brando wanting to ask him questions about acting. But the thing is Brando didn't like talking about acting, he thought it was distasteful. However, he could tell that Perlman wanted to ask him something.

He said 'Okay, you get to ask me one question, and no fucking follow-up questions, alright'

Perlman said 'How do you know that you are doing well in the scene?'

Brando said 'Check my arsehole' :O

'I'm sorry, I know you didn't want anymore questions, but I don't know what you mean' Perlman Replied.

'Check your arsehole! If it's loose, then you were good, if it's tight, you have to do it again.

What's your thoughts on that? :D

I'll finally answer your The Dark Knight Rises question. To be honest, I can't defend Talia. I think the story was much better when Bane was the leader. But some people say he didn't have any influence on the plan, I disagree. I think Nolan showing that Bane was going to kill Batman despite Talia's orders shows he wasn't just her attack dog like some people say. I'm still not completely happy with it, but I like so much more of the movie that I can't allow something at the end bother me. I doubt this could change your mind, but it's not my intention. I just want to show where I'm coming from. Oh, I hate Talia's death scene. Cotillard did a terrible job. I think it helped me knowing that Talia is Ra Al Ghul's daughter going into the movie because the twist really had no affect on me. I was annoyed when I read it in an article, but I think it was a benefit to me.

I watched Pulp Fiction yesterday and realized it was my favorite movie so I moved Inception down to 2. The. Today I decided to be honest and brought Inception down to ten. It probably should have happened a while ago, but Inception has been my number 1 since I started Flickchart so I didn't want it to drop I guess.

Yeah, I loved 12 Angry Men and the fact that all but three minutes of the film take place in one room. A film that takes place in one room is usually boring, but this film did not have a dull moment.

I'll try to watch Rear Window sometime soon. Thanks man.

I read what you said about The Mist this morning, but I didn't have time to reply. You bloody got me, Dinelka! :D I really thought you were gonna say you hate it! :D

Did you watch it in colour, or in black and white? I've heard the black and white version really enhances the movie. It even hides the less than stellar special effects.

One part I love is just a very simple part. Seeing a tight rope go slack, was a great visual for me. You don't see what happened, but it allows your mind to race at the possibilities, especially when you see blood.

I agree with you completely! That women is so annoying! But she really does a good job, it's really the purpose of the character to make you feel that way, so the ending is even more effective.

I will definitely rewatch Pul and Raiders. Django, I don't think I even like it. Dicaprio was the whole movie for me, I didn't enjoy anything else. Which version of LOTR films do you prefer?

Really? You love Star Wars even if you didn't watch them as a kid or am I misunderstanding?

Yeah, Godfather Part II, Fight Club and Jaws are masterpieces in my opinion. A huge reason that I love Fight Club is Brad Pitt. Also I really dug the themes. That movie really worked for me. I have a very bad top 100, but I think my top 50 is a bit accurate. When I rewatched Shawshank Redemption for the second time, I only liked it. I don't know why. It really shouldn't be anywhere my top 50 after that viewing. Has something like this ever happened to? That you love a movie so much that you immediately put it in your top 10, but on the second viewing you just don't love it anymore. It has been happening often when I rewatch films lately.

The same thing happened with my second viewing of Pulp Fiction. But yeah, I agree, the film is very goddamn quotable. I will definitely rewatch Pulp Fiction sometime in the near future.

I will see Raiders once more. You should also rewatch Taxi Driver. Definitely tell me what you think of it when you see it.

Yeah, Rebecca is by far my favorite Hitchcock film, I still need to see Vertigo, Rear Window and North by Northwest and many others, but so far, I love Rebecca even more than Notorious and Psycho. The twist at the beach house was amazing. Not really a twist but a revelation.

I used to have over 1200 films on my Flickchart, but I removed the ones I didn't care about (900+ films), and when I am reminded of or see a movie that I liked or loved, I add them now. I don't rate random movies anymore, My bottom movies represent ones that I think are overrated.

You also seem to be watching many movies lately. I envy you so much man, I haven't seen a movie in 1 and a half months.

Oh yes, I like Rebecca very much. My five favorite Hitchcock films are:

1. Psycho
2. Rebecca
3. Strangers on a Train
4. North by Northwest
5. Rear Window

Strangers on a Train is definitely worth checking out when you get a chance.

In regards to Rear Window, I'd say the reason I don't have it ranked higher is just because I have a strong preference for more modern films. For older films, it takes me longer to really appreciate them. Rear Window has probably risen 100 spots or so in my rankings in the past year, so it may continue to rise in the future.

I go on Letterboxd every day, but I haven't done any reviews yet. I'm taking my time exploring the site and getting used to it. Plus, Flickchart is still my favorite site, so Letterboxd will probably always be second banana to me. ;)

That's weird man, it looks like we watched Strangers on a Train around the same time. I also really liked it. I loved Rope and I thought the acting was great. Next I'll probably watch either Rebecca or Dial M For Murder.

I should probably have Shadow of a Doubt ranked higher than it is. It's a good film, it's just not one that I connected with. I think I read somewhere that it was Hitchcock's favorite film so, for that reason alone, it's a must-see.

I saw my first Hitchcock film (North by Northwest) about a year and a half ago, and have been interested in them ever since. I've seen 17 Hitchcock movies now, and am now starting to watch some of his lesser known works (Lifeboat was the last one). I'd definitely put Hitchcock in the top five greatest directors ever.

Another Hitchcock film I'd recommend is The 39 Steps (#198 on Flickchart). It's only about 80 minutes and it's super easy to find online (it's all over YouTube).

I'm sorry, Dinelka. What movie do you want a short review on letterboxd for? The thing with letterboxd is I've settled on this site, all my movies are up, I've made comments on here. It kinda feels like I'm starting again. it's daunting for me to have to add over three thousand movies. I'm going to try and be more motivated to do more on that site, though. :)

To each his own. I don't like the movie, but I agree, it does have a great cast.

I remember liking ROTK director's cut so much that it is the only LOTR film I have on my top 100, #78 on my Flickchart.

I watched a lot of random movies when I was a kid, but only on a channel that is for kids. I also used to watch TONS of action movies with Stallone, Arnie and other people. I have seen 90% of Arnie's movies.

Taxi Driver is the film that made me love films, that's one of the main reasons why it's #1. I do think there are better films though (Not many, but there are some).

Ed Norton is VERY brilliant, but Brad Pitt steals the show in EVERY scene because of his charisma, and the fact that he is my favorite (or second favorite) movie character of all time.

Yeah, latest viewings are what decide a film's place on my list.

Rebecca is a masterpiece. My favorite Hitchcock film. So glad you loved it too. I don't really like Dial M for murder, Strangers on a Train and Notorious though.

Yeah movies like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Limitless, Percy Jackson etc. You know, mediocre movies.

I have a question for: Does every movie that you watch goes to your Flickchart, even mediocre or bad ones? I personally only rate movies I like/love and ones I think that are overrated.

You didn't like Drive eh? Bro-Fist. It does have great cinematography and great acting by Gosling though.
Have you seen the movie Bronson by Winding Refn? I love that movie so much(Now that I was reminded of it, I will add it to my Flickchart). I definitely recommend it. It has the best performance of Tom Hardy's career. It also has english accents which are a huge plus for a movie in my book. :D

I can't give you a confident answer either way. But all I know is that I like your reviews. :)

The only way Drive and Only God Forgives are related is it's the same actor and director. Only God Forgives got the movie of the festival over in Sydney when it premiered there, but many people still seem to hate it. To be honest Dinelka, I don't know if you should check it out. I've heard Gosling has even less dialogue in this movie! After reading your review of Drive, this seems like it'll be a big issue for you.

I'm glad you're liking Hitchcock so much. :)

Yeah, that is pretty cool to win an Oscar for your first film. That is a really cool connection that you noticed between Rear Window and Dial M for Murder. Thanks for sharing that with me.

I don't know if you know this, but The Godfather was Al Pacino's 3rd film! And that is if you count his first film which he is only in about a minute of it. He was very new to acting and to be able to compete with greats like Brando and Duvall is amazing.

I was planning on watching Spellbound sometime soon. I kind of agree with you on Vertigo. I loved it, but as you can see out of the 9 Hitchcock films I've seen so far it is my least favorite.

My favorite actors are: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Christian Bale, Samuel L. Jackson, and Edward Norton. I don't necessarily think that they are the best, but I think that they are the most reliable if you know what I mean.

My opinion is that when you're at school, it's fine to have short comments. But at home, try and explain why you like a movie, say something funny or anything you like really. :) You know I'm not putting you down, and I know you leave longer comments as well. I'm just voicing my thoughts. :)

I get why you wrote t now. Anyway, you weren't the only one who did. :)

I'll answer the work question, but I can't say what I do. You may be able to tell, I'm a really nice guy, but I don't show that at work. :D I don't let most of them know me because, to be frank, they're dickheads! I also use it to my advantage, they are slightly intimidated by me, so when I tell them to do something, they listen. Ha! I probably sound like a crazy man! But all I'm doing is making work run as smooth as possible for me and the other workers that are trying their best. Some people I do have a laugh with. I have actually been in charge of 20 people for the last few weeks while someone was on holiday, but now I'm back to my old job. The person really is terrible at her job, though! When workers want advice to what needs to be done, they tend to come to me. :) I also learnt recently that they want me to learn the job above the other person as well! :)

If I may, I'd like to share something advice with you that I think could be good info. When you get a job, don't go and get a bank loan for a brand new car. In my town, countless guys have done this, and now are struggling to make ends meet. But they did thrash the cars as well, so they need another soon. I'd think you wouldn't do that. I was careful, drove a shitbucket, and saved so much! You may know this already, but I just thought I would help you out, plus show the type of people I work with. :)

Your thoughts on Gaslight mirror mine. :)

For Daniel Day Lewis movies, I highly recommend My Left Foot. You want to see some out-of-this-world acting, watch him in that film. :)

I like your answers, but I didn't do well explaining the question. What actors, that haven't really had a leading role before would you like to see have main roles?

Haha! Yeah, I guess it's funny to read what I do like that! Plus I'm 6'6, the dickheads shut up! :D I also think because I do everything properly the way I tell them to do it, they don't have a leg to stand on to come back at me. :D

I don't know if you know this, but apparently Christopher Lee and J.R.R. Tolkien were good friends and Tolkien said that if anyone ever turned LOTR into a movie that he wanted Lee to play Gandalf. He was of course cast as Saruman. I don't know about you, but I can't really see him playing Gandalf, can you? I'm glad they cast him as Saruman instead and cast Ian McKellen as Gandalf.

For my favorite movie of 2012, I'd have to say Skyfall. That movie is amazing. Django definitely has great acting, but definitely not the best ensemble cast of 2012. I'd say that award goes to the Master. I didn't love the movie but the performances are mindblowingly-awesometacular. I would say that I prefer Philip Seymour Hoffman's perforamnce more than that of Leonardo Dicaprio. Joaquin Phoenix demonstrated what an actor is capable of: amazingness. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, even for the performances alone. It is a very good film though. It definitely needs a re-watch. Just don't watch it with your parents. I also highly recommend There Will Be Blood and Magnolia. 3 PTA films that I need to re-watch.

Yeah, I don't think any other film will replace Taxi Driver as my #1. I must watch Rear Window, Vertigo and North By Northwest. I prefer the 60's, 70's and 80's era of films more than the ''golden age of Hollywood'', the 40's and the 50's. But I really do love some of the movies from that time.

Each to his own. I'm glad that you enjoyed them and even loved them. Even If I don't love them, I can say that they are suspenseful as f**k. HItchcock has really earned the title ''The Master of Suspense''.

Drive does get better with repeated viewings though. I didn't like it the first time, and I really liked it the second viewing. Who knows, I might even love it on the third viewing. Bronson is awesome. Watch it whenever you feel like it.

I was browsing through your list, and holy shit, why is Raging Bull so low? Also why haven't I added Star Trek on my list? I have watched that movie 5-6 times and have loved it each time. I have to add it now.

I was checking your IMDb top 250 list on Letteboxd and holy shit we agree on 95 % of the ratings of the movies.

What are you planning on seeing next?

He's been is so few because he picks his projects carefully, then inhabits the character he plays! For The Last of the Mohicans, he actually lived off the land for months! People couldn't get ahold of him because he cut ties with technology. When you see My Left Foot, you'll see why they put him in the same category as those other greats you listed. :)

Michael Shannon is a great choice Dinelka. :)Mine would be Ben Foster, Paddy Considine, Charlie Hunnum, Bryan Cranston, Scott Adkins(for action movies), Eddie Marsan and Ezra Miller(could very well happen).

The Wolverine was great! They raised the stakes by making him vulnerable. I really enjoyed parts of the score, which had a Once Upon a Time in the West vibe to it. Jack man was terrific, and I appreciated that they kept quite a few plot points from the trailer.

Pacific Rim was fun. It was an easy watch that's not to be taken seriously. I really enjoyed Del Toro's effort to make sure you clearly see what is happening, and where the jaigers and kaiju are positioned. Let's say, like how Michael Bay didn't for his Transformers movies. Oh, Dinelka! There's ''Aussies'' in this movie! Ones played by an American, the other is English! The accents are bloody awful! Why cast two non-Australians to be Australians when they can't do an accent! Just hire some Aussies for fuck sake! They were nearly as bad as Tarantino!

I can't wait until the end of next month! I'll be watching two of my most anticipated movies of the year in one weekend! That would be Kick-Ass 2 and Elysium. I may also see Pain and Gain and You're Next. :)

Yeah, I loved Skyfall, though I'm no Bond fan either. I haven't seen a Sean Connery Bond movie, the ones I have seen from Roger Moore, I hate them. From Poerce Brosnan, I haven't seen GoldenEye only. From Daniel Craig I haven't seen only Quantum of Solace. I don't think I will have a Bond marathon, because I have heard that some of the movies are bad, but I will definitely watch them.

Tell me how OT Star Wars trilogy holds up with your third viewing. I should definitely have a PTA marathon someday. I think he is a brilliant director, even if I don't particularly love each one of his movies. I haven't seen all of his filmography, which is a goal that I intend to fulfill in the future. Definitely tell me what you think of his movies when you see them.

You sound just like me after my first viewing. :D I do think the movie is very good though. I need another viewing to decide how I feel about the movie.

I mean that it is so low because not too long ago it was in your top 50. I'm not saying that 45-ish is very low. I'm glad that it still is in your top 50. I had such huge expectations going into that movie because of my #1 movie which is from the same director, and as you can see from my list, it didn't disappoint. Such a masterpiece.

When I customize it, I will follow you and other fellow flickcharters.

Hahaha I will add more movies when I get home because the speed of this computer is too damn high (meme reference).

The Departed is great. Tell me what you think of it when you see it, or if you write a reiew on Letterboxd, tell me so I can read it.

-American Beauty
-Dark Knight Trilogy

They'll find a way for Batman to match Superman, they've got to. One thing, Batman is probably smarter than him, especially if he's going to be a veteran in the new movie. You see who they mentioned? Some names were Jon Hamm, Josh Brolin, James Caviezel, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Josh Duhamel. Hamm seems like the right choice to me. He was actually considered for Superman at one stage. :)

Oh yeah, Evil Dead certainly underwhelmed me. I have a review on letterboxd. I like the older movies much better. Some like the first one the best, but I like the comedy elements that's in part 2 and 3 more.

I think Pitt is too old for Batman. I'm just thinking ahead. What if there's a second justice League movie in 5-10 years? He's be getting close to 60!

Hmm, I'm not sure how you'd like Sin City, it'll be interesting. Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn may be movies you like. They're not to be taken seriously, they're over-the-top genre movies. In fact, Tarantino stars in both of them. :)

Ha, 'steel tits' :)

Django loses a lot of potency on repeated viewings. Pulp FIction is a timeless film that definitely deserves a top ten spot, I could see it coming for a long time now. The Cuckoo's Nest is also top ten caliber and I would dare say Nicholson gives fourth the greatest performance of all time.

My favourite director would definitely be a tie between Kubrick, Nolan or Scorsese.

I read your reviews and thank you for the tip. I don"t know when I will start my Bond Marathon, but I will be sure to start with Dr. No. I also read your reviews on Letterboxd.

I do like the first 2 movies and HATE Jedi, it was very bland, and although I do have many problems with the OT, I get why people love it, but still, I do think it is overrated. Do you. Please tell me what you think of Jedi when you rewatch it, or tell me when you write your review on Letterboxd.

I will rewatch Raiders and Last Crusade, I"m not very sure about Temple, I din"t enjoy it very much on my first viewing.

I have seen American Beauty and was not a big fan of it. I definitely need to rewatch it though, Spacey is awesome in everything, well maybe except for Life of David Gale. That movie is yuuuuck (Jules Winnfield reaction). I do love Fight Club very much, I just need to rewatch it because I love Brad Pitt, and everything else about the movie.

Why would you think they are uninteresting? Allow me to recommend some: Donie Brasco, French Connection, Place Beyond The Pines, Rushmore, Longest Day, My Left Foot etc. Also where do you download copies of the movies that aren't on Yify, Kat.ph or someone specific. I would highly recommend judas.

If Bale wanted to do Justice League, he had his chance already. I really think he's over it. Plus I don't think he'd want to be typecast as Batman as Robert Downey Jr. has as Iron Man. I think Downey Jr. said that he might not come back just to make them sweat to make the best deal for himself. :) As far as Harrison Ford, he probably changed his mind when he saw THE MONEY!! :D

Oh yeah, you did see Sin City! I remember talking to you about it now. I searched your list by looking up Robert Rodriguez, but he's listed under Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. Yep Machete Kills is his next movie. What do you think about grindhouse and exploitation movies? You might not of seen many. :)

The character arcs of Walt and Jesse is fantastic to watch also. I won't say much, because i don't want to spoil anything! It's one of the best shows on tv. Breaking Bad starts tomorrow on foxtel, I can't wait! These last few eps could go in so many ways! I have no idea what is going to happen. :)

I really like The Man With the Golden Gun, but it is one of my least favorite Bond films. Christopher Lee is great as Scaramanga, bu he is in my opinion underused. In the parts that he is in he really shines, but they didn't give him enough to do which is a shame. I don't blame him for this, I blame the the film makers. In a way they kind of wasted a great villain. When you have a great actor like Christopher Lee playing the villain in your movie you should definitely give him a lot to work with. It is kind of a missed opportunity in my opinion, but the film is still very enjoyable.

P.S. I hope you watch Thunderball soon, it's one of my favorites :)

You should be sorry yo punk, how could you answer me so late. :P lol just joking. Don't ever apologise again. I do that myself very often.

I saw only the ending of Two Towers recently, and the Samwise the Brave part nearly brought a tear to my eye. In my book, that translates to a Lord of The Rings Marathon. :D

I saw a trailer of Take Shelter and it seemed like a very Ark of Noah-ish movie. But since I heard that Michael Shannon delivers a powerhouse performance in it, I will most likely check it out. I watch all movies that have great performances in it, even if the movie is bad. Did you see it from Yify?

Yes it is Julinona. I only have my top 4 in there. I don"t even have a profile picture. I will remain a flickcharter (at least I think so).

Yeah, I found ROTJ incredibly bland. Do you think OT star Wars is overrated. I personally do. I think that the most overrated movie ever is Silence of The Lambs. I hate that movie.

I did read your reviews on Letterboxd. I enjoyed them. You should keep doing them. :D I think I also will when I setup my profile.

I will rewatch it. I hope I love it. Spacey makes everything(well, some) awesome. But he didn"t manage to make me love Usual Suspects. Another overrated movie right there.

Well I agree, but I still will download many of them, including Driver, Oblivion etc.

I downloaded Sixth Sense from AnoXmous but while browsing through his uploads, I noticed that many of his uploads have file sizes varying from very small, to un-compressed large size. I have bookmarked many of his uploads, but I am currently not downloading them. Would you recommend them? I will only ddownload them if you say that the quality rivals that of Yify. He does have too many movies goddamnit.

I have seen the video that you mentioned, and I do check out his videos once in a while, but his humor is a miss for me most of the time. Sometimes they do go a bit gay, but it doesn't bother me much, since Sam's motivation for doing those things is explained in FotR. That said, he does cross the line a bit. He does great analysis of movies though. I prefer other YouTube movie reviewers though like Chris Stuckmann and the FlickPick. Hhahaha I love your enthusiasm for movies. I just subscribed to you on YouTube.

I will check out Man of Stell someday. I will also definitely check out Take Shelter.

I hope I make progress too on Letterboxd. I am just too lazy.

I hate Hayden Christensen's stare, just like a pedophile. Fuck that. Also it might come as a shock to everybody in the world, but I didn't like Darth Vader as a villain. When he becomes good in the end, that scene right there made me hate him. I know that that's the best way his character arc could have happened, but I just couldn't help but hate him, it reminded me of those Disney movies for kids cliches where the bad guy turns good because ''everyone is an angel inside, ah love everywhere''. But you know, that's just my opinion. Also I hated Mark Hamill's acting. HATED it.

I know, I have been downloading some AnoXmous movies recently, including There Will Be Blood and it had very good quality. If you want to download it, I recommend that upload. When you watch that movie, please tell me so we can discuss it. :D

I moved Bullet to the Head down more after our talk because I felt it was too high. I think my list is a bit deceiving. You mentioned the Bond movies being low. That's just because I haven't ranked them for a while. Plus, I need to see them again, because I can't remember much about them. Don't always got by the rating from my list from about 1200 to 1800. Even quite a few of those movies are 7/10, despite what Flickchart says. :)

Yep, a few people think the same about Full Metal Jacket. But the boot camp part is so good, that it really makes up for the drop when they leave.

Nah, when I did the makeover of my list, On the Waterfront was a big winner out of it.

I know! Bloom is a terrible choice! The only way I'd be interested is if Bale played Batman. Or, if they want a really old Batman, get Michael Keaton, that would be interesting! :D

I would be up for a Dr No re-watch, but I don't think I have re-watched a movie for over a year and a half. :)

I saw Psycho recently, but I was adding some films I saw ages ago a few weeks ago which is why the Thunderbirds movie and the 1967 Casino Royale (which is a spy-spoof) are on my recently added movies (both are two of worst movies I have ever seen and it's unfortunate that I've remembered about them). Every film after those two are ones I have seen recently.

It really does help broaden your knoweldge of movies. If you could only look in my head Dinelka! :D It's a walking movie trivia box! :D Just keep it up Dinelka, you'll get there. :)

You don't need to see Family Guy to enjoy the vid. :)

Sharknado is coming to Foxtel in September if you're interested Dinelka. Sorry, I can't remember if you've told me whether you have foxtel or not. :) Some people can't watch a bad movie for a laugh, but i totally can! As long as it's not boring, i will give it a better score than it deserves. Kate and I have planned to watch Sharknado at the same time. :) They have already started planning the sequel off the success of the original. Twitter fans got to name it! It's going to be called Sharknado: The Next One. :D

Too many movies to get to Dinelka! :D I don't have time to go back, I just keep checking off movies I haven't seen before. My imdb watchlist is 11 pages long! :O Remember, I love all genres, so there isn't any that I can exclude. :D

Obviously, I would like it higher. But I'm not paying too much attention. I will listen to MysticSpoon over these critics any day (he likes Kick-Ass as much as I do). If he doesn't like it, then I'll be worried. I'm bound to like it more than the critics, but i will be surprised if it's better than the original.

They really are awesome moments, but personally I wasn't affected in any way from all those movies you mentioned. I do have to rewatch Lion King and Toy Story trilogy though. I am just not a big fan of animated movies, and I don't even know why. I do love me a few animes though.

You were deeply touched by Forrest Gump yet you still hate the movie?

I haven't seen E.T, but that mistake will be corrected sometime in the near future.

You mean, a HILARIOUS update guy who also does reviews.

I agree, Lucas is to be blamed. He is just shitting on the one thing that people love from him. Why? I also respect your opinion, and if you love Darth Vader, it's all fine by me.I personally only loved Harrison Ford's character Han Solo. He was badass. You misunderstood me, I didn't mean for commercial success, I meant that his character arc was similar to those of the villains in Disney movies. I am not sure whether I will rewatch them in the future. Only time will tell.

I disagree with you on Mark Hamill's acting. He might get better with the sequels like you say, but it made no difference for me, I still disliked his character, and his acting wasn't good enough for me. My 2 cents on it.

Yes I do love the Godfather. VERY much. And that is exactly the reason why I have only seen it just once, along with my #1 film. I don't know what is wrong with me, but strangely I have been letdown by the second (or more) viewing of films I have rewatched recently like Inception, The Dark Knight, American History X, Shawshank Redemption, Fight Club and many, many more. I think I can only love the film with repeated viewings if I dislike the previous one. I don't think I can love my top 3 more than I already do, and that's why I am delaying a second rewatch until I have forgotten some details of the movie.

Example 1: I saw Se7en 2 years ago, and I was blown away by it. I rewatched it 3 months ago, and was still blown away by it.

Example 2: I saw Shawshank Redemption 8 months ago and was absolutely blown away by it that I immediately put it in my top 10, and when I rewatched it 4 months ago, I was bored by it.

That's very weird right?! It is weird because before I became the film lover that I am today, I watched The Dark Knight 17 times and was blown away each and every single time by it. When I rewatched it recently for the 18th time I didn't even love it. What?! That's eff'd up. I hope you understood what I said. Does this ever happen to you? Or do you always love your favorites on each viewing?

Now to answer your Godfather questions.
1) I can't choose goddammit. It's a tie between Marlon Brando(Part I), Al Pacino(Part II) and Robert DeNiro (Part II). But if I were to rank them (that's very hard) it would be like this:
1-Al Pacino in Part II
2-Marlon Brando in Part I
3-Robert DeNiro in Part II.

2) I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. (Epic)

3) I don't like choosing scenes from movies and especially The Godfather I/II, each movie is one big memorable scene from start to finish. But if I had to single out only one, it would be when young Don Vito assassinates Don Fanucci. Great picks man, I love all of those.
Also my reason for having Godfather PartII ahead of the first one is only Pacino/DeNiro. Can you tell me why don't you love Part II as much? If you can, please be as specific as possible.

I was bored by the Director's Cut of T2 when I watched it for the last time. I hope I love it with my next viewing. I will try to find a copy of the theatrical version.

Th Godfather series never made me cry. But it was very touching.

Also check out my ranking of my latest rewatch of Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas.

I've seen all of the imdb movies, except for eleven. :D Those are Some Like it Hot, Diabolique, The Secret in Their Eyes, Hotel Rwanda, Jagten (what the hell is that movie?!), La Strada, Like Stars on Earth, 3 Idiots, Incedies (which I have recorded), Festen and Spring, Summer Autumn, Winter...and Spring.

Two movies I need to try again are 400 Blows and The Bicycle Thief. I enjoyed them, but I think I'm missing what everybody else sees. But who knows when that will be!! :D

The action is amazing, so much better, and easy to follow, than any of Bay's Tranformers movies. The story was just a little uninteresting for me. Plus the "Aussies" pissed me off. Just so you know, there is extra after the credits for Pacific Rim as well. :) Would you call The Shawshank Redemption an action film? ;)

Oh, I added Trish McFadden (I think that's her last name) after seeing her on your letterboxd page. We discussed Pacific Rim a bit on her review if you want to see. She's fun to talk to. :)

The Birds and The 39 Steps were the next two Hitchcock films that I planned on watching. Hitchcock was an amazing filmmaker, but he isn't the only one not to win an Oscar. The Oscar's tend to award the wrong people which is a shame. I'm glad you enjoyed North by Northwest a lot more this time around. It is currently my second favorite Hitchcock film behind Rear Window.

P.S. I'm glad you liked Kick-Ass

Congrats on 50 reviews on letterboxd! You put me to shame. I'm very glad I told you about it, you seem to really enjoy yourself.

Pacific Rim is still a fine movie, the story just didn't entirely work for me.

I did end up liking 39 Steps, but I found myself not interested in the start. I don't know what it was, maybe it was just a bad day? Maybe it's another I have to check out again............someday. ;)

My list changes slightly, usually back further, though. It would tale a BEAST of a movie to knock The Dark Knight off the number one spot :)

No problem man, my pleasure, I have a question though, do you have another YouTube profile? Because I didn't see anything non-cricket related in there.

Yes I loved Pulp Fiction, there was one major thing that bothered me though, the whole chapter with Mia and John Travolta, I just don't know I found it that slow, and also John Travolta's character really got on my nerves and I really don't know why.

Question(s): What are your favorite characters in the movie? Mine would be(ranked): Jules Winnfield, Butch Coolidge (he was way awesomer than I remembered), Winston Wolf.

What is your favorite line in the movie? Mine would be a tie between "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead" and "everytime my fingers touch brain, I'm superfly T.N.T, I'm the Guns of The Navarone".

Also what is your favorite scene? Mine would be (wow so many to choose from) the final restaurant scene from beginning to end, from the funny discussion between Jules and Vincent, and right when they walk out of the bar.

Also what is your favorite soundtrack/song in the film? Mine would be "Surf Rider" and a close second would be "Bring out the Gimp" with the third one being "Let's stay together".

Other question: is there anything that you don't like about Pulp Fiction? It might be a scene, a piece of dialogue, a character, anything that bothers you?

You can tell that I loved this movie very much except for the chapter mentioned above and that is only part that keeps this movie from being a masterpiece, for me at least but I definitely understand why people would call it that. :D

Take your time to answer my previous posts.

Wow you loved North By Northwest didn't you? I hope you love Vertigo as much. Also in the future please check out Citizen Kane.

No, it's not required to watch El Mariachi. Desperado is pretty much a remake anyway. It also doesn't have Antonio Banderas in it. It's very impressive to see what Rodriguez achieved with $15,000.

It is possible Pulp Fiction could rise into my top ten, I agree with you. But I just don't know when I will watch them again.

This is her imdb page (or Mr IMDB's page :D), if you're interested. :)

I don't think you need to see any of the other Riddick movies mate. :) This new one seems like it's returning to a simlilar style to the original movie. In fact, based on the trailer, it nearly looks like a remake. Pitch Black is decent, but it effects have dated. It's pretty good for a low budget movie, though. Chronicles of Riddick looks beautiful, but is empty at the core.

I'm fine being called Mr IMDB. :D I don't know what to call you. :)

I did like the film, I just didn't love it. And I've already seen Hot Fuzz a couple of years ago. I wasn't a big fan of that either, but I do recall enjoying it a little more. I still kinda want to see The World's End, maybe not immediately but I don't mind seeing it in the theater. You should check out Edgar Wright's stuff before you see The World's End though. I wasn't a big fan of his stuff, but pretty much everyone I know loves his works, so chances are high you'll love it too. And The World's End is sort of a "final chapter" in a trilogy, so it's a little important you see Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (in that order) first, although you don't have to.

It depends what you mean with a marathon. If you mean a marathon where I watch a movie directly after finishing one, then no. If you mean a marathon where I try finish a film series in a certain period of time, then yes. Last October I tried to watch every single offical Bond movie in preparation for Skyfall. I didn't succeed, but I was pretty close. I might do a Friday the 13th later this month or next month, that has always been a horror franchise I wanted to check out.

I want to see I Declare War. It's about a bunch of 12 year olds that are playing 'guns'. What's interesting about the movie is that we see the movie from their perspective. So the sticks are machine guns, rocks are grenades, and small logs are bazookas. I love this idea! It's so weird and different! Plus that's what I used to do when I was 10. :D

I just think it comes down to poor direction Dinelka. I think that certain scenes had no originality to it. Hit Girl had some creative kills in the first one, I didn't feel the same about the sequel. I will give it to you that the last fight with Mother Russia was great, but it didn't match the fight with Mark Strong from the original.

Don't get me wrong, I laughed and enjoyed scenes, but nothing was directed or choreographed as well as the first. If they do a third, they better hire a new director.

It's cool to express your feeling, you know that. This is a safe place Dinelka! ;D

Abbott did win Dinelka. Surely he won't cut too much money from a struggling school? That would be terrible if he does. There is the same troubles over here with Premier Colin Barnett. People complain, but he just says 'get over it'. I think there will be strikes if he doesn't give in.

I would rate them like this

1. James Earl Jones
2. Christopher Lee
3. Sean Connery
4. Morgan Freeman (lowest because I get sick of his narrations)

Cumberbatch would be in the middle. :)

I definitely want to watch World War Z (Pitt is one of my favorite actors). I actually haven't seen all of Batman Forever or Batman and Robin, but I have seen parts of both. I would like to watch them just to see how bad they actually are. Ha Ha

Yeah, The Dark Knight Trilogy is my favorite followed by Lord of the Rings, and then Star Wars is actually third. The reason for this is because as stand alone films I think Star Wars is better, but that is because LOTR is basically one movie cut into three parts. So even though Star Wars has better stand alone films, I feel that as a trilogy LOTR is stronger. The reason that TDK is my favorite is first of all because I fucking love all three and also because I feel that structurally it is exactly how a trilogy should be. The tie ins in TDKR to the first two are absolutely brilliant. You should definitely give TDKR another try. How many times have you seen it?

Key Largo...what a great movie, you should try Huston's Maltese Falcon with Bogart once again or The Man Who Would be King is you want something more similar to The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

I've recently seen World War Z too and I've got to say that it's one of those rare occasions where the trailer doesn't do justice to the movie. When I first saw the trailer I thought only about the "cheap" zombie effects...I couldn't get anything out of it and when I read that it had to be re-shot/re-written so many times I assumed it was going to be bad, but it actually it turned up to be a good post-apocalyptic movie, with a strong performance for Brad Pitt.

C'mon mate, you really don't have to apologise.

What stand-up comedians do you like?

My favourite scene is probably 'You...shall not...... pass!!'

2 years since I've seen the extended versions on Blu Ray (first watch of the extended versions)

Gandalf is my favourite.

I had seen the theatrical cuts many times before seeing the extended version. The theatrical cut leaves out what happened to Saruman in the tower.

The majority of films in the 20's were silent. Later on in the decade there started to be a few more 'talkies', which would lead to the demise of many actors silents film careers. The first 'talkie' was The Jazz Singer in 1927, and yes, Nosferatu is a silent film.

Shit!! I lost a whole comment of horror recommendations and reasons to watch them! :O

I will type it down the recommendations down again, but not the explanations.

The Evil Dead trilogy
Shaun of the Dead
Wolf Creek
The Descent
Suspiria
Carrie
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
The Orphanage
Black Christmas (the original slasher film)
Don't Look Now
The Fearless Vampire Killers
Drag Me to Hell
Slither
Let the Right One In

I wouldn't expect all of them to be your thing,especially seeing you're not into horror. But have a look, there is probably something for you. :)

If you end up liking Nosferatu, you should check out The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

I'm surprised Alien and The Thing aren't higher. What would you give them on Letterboxd, so I can truly see the your proper score for the films.

Love Fincher but my favorite is Nolan. Love every film he's ever made. Fincher wows me with Se7en and Zodiac, but he also frustrates me with films like Panic Room and Benjamin Button. This is what I posted on Rob's profile:

"You must be wondering, why do I rate Nolan higher than Fincher when 2 of the latter's films are in my top 5. I'd say that's because Nolan is a more consistent filmmaker. In fact, he's the ONLY director who has never let me down. Even Fincher and Marty have Panic Room and Cape Fear, respectively."

Do give Zodiac a try. It WILL disturb you D:

Inception is a mixed bag, in the sense that I ADMIRE it more with every viewing and ENJOY it less. What Nolan brought to the table through his take on ideas such as existentialism, guilt, dreams as alternate realities and architectural designs is truly marvelous. I understand the themes better with every viewing (Note: the exposition only explains the working and rules and not the themes and motifs). But there's nothing too memorable about the characters and their relationships. Kinda makes me wonder if Chris is the brain and Jonah the heart of their partnership. The dynamic between Angier and Borden, The Joker and Batman, Leonard and Teddy is what makes repeat viewings of these films worth it. I felt that was missing in Inception.

I did watch TDKR again. Naturally, appreciated its intent more this time.

It was Slumdog Zillionare that won BP in 2008, which is probably even worse than Benjamin Button. TDK wasn't even nominated!

That horror project sounds fun! And yeah, Spielberg would be an overload. Just an idea, maybe you could visit like 10 of his best films? And a Nolan marathon would be amazing, watch all the films in order. Except I'd watch The Dark Knight trilogy separate. I wouldn't want to watch DiCaprio plant an idea in someone's head and then a day later see Batman rise. Haha.

I actually just finished my Pixar marathon. Finished off with Finding Nemo. God I love that film so much. Holds up today so well. I actually saw it in theaters in it's 3D release, but had to include it into the marathon. And yeah, My Top 10-20 has been moving around a lot lately. I rewatched the original star wars trilogy and realized Empire if flawless, and my favorite film of all time.

About the stars not showing up I meant that on my iPod the stars never show up for some reason. When I rate a film I just click around where the stars are supposed to be until I land on the rating I want to give it. It is pretty annoying and I can't see what rating you gave to a film, but I can read your reviews.

Well, there is Breaking Bad tomorrow. Every episode takes it to a new level of intensity. I cannot imagine how amazing the last ep will be. I will be sad when the show is finished, but will be glad they didn't keep going with the show for too many seasons, like Dexter has. I also need to get to Pain & Gain and The Last Waltz at some stage.

Dr. Strangelove is a timeless classic that holds up well even today. How was the re-watch? About 2 or 3 weeks ago I was re-watching my favorite trilogies and hit Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and The Dark Knight trilogy. Fellowship is so spectacular, the characters and the adventure and everything! Oh mah gash, I'm geeking out here haha. Tell me how The Two Towers re-watch and Return of the King re-watch were for you when you get the chance. One Flew is one of my favorites.

Glad to see your re-watching Predator! Great movie, but the violence sometimes got on my nerves. All those actors are amazing, and their performances are epic. And Return of the King and The Two Towers did make a huge jump into my Top 10 and Top 20, because I re-watched the trilogy.

As for the horror-thon, I actually have one planned starting the first week of October. I'm gonna watch mostly classics. Should be fun, hopefully yours goes well. Citizen Kane is a timelss classic, will forever remain a work of art and a cinematic masterpiece.

Thanks for the thoughts:) I'm re-watching the films soon for like the 10th time and I thought if I got different opinions I'd like the film better on the re-watch. Kinda complicated. I actually plan to watch The Godfather trilogy, and the Toy Story trilogy again before October.

I love every second of Predator! It's such a fun film, I never tire of it. The first half hour, to me, really let's us to know the characters, so we have an attachment to them when they're picked off one by one. It's also such a quotable movie 'I ain't got time to bleed', 'there's something out there, and it ain't no man', 'anytime', 'if it bleeds, we can kill it' and 'get to da choppa!!!!' are just some of the amazing lines i remember off the top of my head Do you know Hawkins (the guy with glasses) is Shane Black, the writer of Lethal Weapon and director of Iron Man 3? Did you also know that there was not one, but two former governors in Predator?

RE: Heat. You know, I know it isn't the perfect movie. Several unnecessary characters/side plots (Dennis Haysbert's character...Al Pacino's wacky wife). I love the fact that DeNiro is a "relatable" bad guy. He's clearly got bad intentions, but in the end...you are almost rooting for him. The heist scene is off the charts...as well as the infamous diner scene between Bob and Al. It's just one of those movies I first saw in my late teens and it has stuck with me. My favorite "heist" film ever. Love the Moby song at the end scene too...

He also never really reacts much. He always pretty neutral person. Jay has a documentary out called Beauty Day if you're interested in seeing it. :) Frank has really added something to the show since he joined. I don't even miss Greg anymore. I love that his favourites are these weird movies like Nothing But Trouble that nobody else likes too much. :)

Yeah, among Hitchcock's films I'd rank Suspicion as my 2nd favorite right behind Rear Window. What's your favorite Hitchcock film?

Yep, Jay was so funny doin' Aragorn! Jay loves saying things very seriously, yet he's trying to make people laugh, that's his style.

Oh, I see. Very clever way of convincing her Dinelka. If that's the case, listen to Jay carefully, he knows his shit. :)

Greg is the one that sounds like Seth Rogen. You may not of even heard him. I don't think he liked Lord of the Rings? I remember him saying he liked movies like Arsenic and Old Lace. He was more into sports than movies anyway. Every show he watched nothing because he was so busy managing the book store he works in Canada. I wouldn't say Franks is new anymore actually. He's been around two or three years. You can probably find earlier eps with no Frank and with Greg. Some had all four of them.

Thanks for the tip for YouTube! I'm listening to it straight after I submit this. :)

You're close- it's called Ball Junk, which he does with Frank.

Yep, Sean does Game Junk along with Frank and one other guy that isn't involved with Film Junk. You see, they all (including Jay and Reed) worked in the gaming industry for the same company.

I will read your review mate (what was that Sri Lankan word for mate again?), and I just saw that I can see Young and Innocent on YouTube. :) So I think I might watch it today. :) I will tell you my thoughts afterwards. :)

The killer in Sleepaway Camp, but it's a spoiler to reveal it. You should totally see Sleepaway Camp for your horror month!!

I've seen both those Frankenstein movies. :)

Don't expect a masterpiece with Sleepaway Camp. It's bad, but the type of bad that you can laugh at if you go in with that frame of mind. Anyway, it's very short (79 mins), so it's an easy watch.

Good, good! Go in with the right frame of mind and you should enjoy Sleepaway Camp. :)

Frankenstein was pretty good, but I knew the story so well before I even watched it, same as Dracula. What I try to do as I watch the movie is to forget about all the films that came after and try to see the quality of the film. To be honest, none of these movies have been really successful and building tension for me, but I can still appreciate them. The only movie that really shocked me was the original Phantom of the Opera! That movie has some freaky moments! Seeing you liked Nosferatu, I still think you should check out The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. :)

Hey Dinelka. It's cool being called Mr IMDB. :)

I would have to say no to Terminator being a horror, sorry. It has elements of horror, sure, but that's just like Top Gun having elements of romance, it doesn't make it a love story, it's about flying planes. But that's my opinion. If you think it's got enough horror, I'm not against your opinion. :)

I say it's stoopid that ET is in the top 5 combined movies we love. There is many others to choose from. Doesn't mean I don't LOVE ET! I wore out the videotape as a kid. :)

For me, Predator is an action movie with horror elements. Silence of the Lambs.....that's a bit harder for me. The thriller and horror genres are like genre siblings at times. You have me there mate. :) I will have to think about it more.

Okay, what version of E.T did you watch? Was it with, or without the gun? You know, when E.T lifts them off the ground in front of the cops? One version is ridiculous because the cop is holding a walkie talkie.

No, your choice for best character ever is a brilliant choice. You can't piss me off with your opinion on movies mate. :)

Man, you jump all over the place with your movies you watch in a day. 30 minutes here, 40 minutes there. :)

You have asked me before about Indy scenes. I love the opening, Indy shooting the swordsman and the fight under the rotating plane.

Would Hitchcock be your favorite director? I've seen a lot of his films, and I'd rank Rear Window as my favorite. It's cool that you have all 3 LOTR films in your Top 10, it really shows how big of a fan you are.

What's your opinion of Rob Zombie as a director? I'm not a big fan myself. They'ra a bit too twisted for me. Also, his characters are always ugly, terrible people.

I grew up on the shotgun in ET. So when I saw the walkie talkie version finally on foxtel, I mockingly laughed at it. Not what I want from such an amazing scene! Some bitter aftertaste of ridiculousness. I agree with you Dinelka. ET should not be dumbed down for kids. Elevate the kids forward, not keep them in the darkness to what he world is like. A shotgun is just enough for a kid to understand. Spielberg did learn his lesson, and regrets ever changing it. Lucas is just deluded.

Great choices Dinelka for your favourite characters.

Ok, I will look at the trailer after this. I'm glad you're not hyping it up for yourself.

Jaws is one film that will depend on the viewer to what it is to them. When it came out, people couldn't go in the water for months! It's another movie that is hard for me to judge how I would classify it.

Directors and even parents are sometimes too worried what their kids see. Sure, don't show them something like Predator or Halloween, but introducing things to them in small doses is fine. Kids are tougher than people think. They enjoy scary parts just as much as older people. I still remember being scared by a part in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It has stuck with me the whole time because despit me being a bit scared, I loved that scene. These ''cotton wool kids" have to be introduced eventually, why not at a young age to prepare them?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean about the barrels. It's been some time since I've seen it, so I don't have a clear picture in my head.

I was wondering why icheckmovies wasn't working for you. I'm glad you found the solution. Thanks for accepting. :)

I gave Dracula a 3.5/5, so I thought it was pretty good. I personally try my hardest to try and watch it like I've never seen a vampire movie before. Movies rarely have me scared or leave me tense, so I try and appreciate them in other ways. That's what shocked me so much about the old Phantom of the Opera movie. One reveal actually had me with my jaw open.

I'm watching a horror movie! It's the original Pet Semetary. It's seems cheesy, but I love watching the cliche old farmer character- he's fun. :)

I was just wondering what are some reasons that you prefer The Two Towers over Return of the King? I rarely see people who share that opinion for some reason, even though I probably agree with it. (#15 and #16 on my chart)

I have a review up of Pet Semetary if you care to read it.

I've never seen the new Chucky movie, but I didn't like Bride or Seed of Chucky. I haven't seen Child's Play 3, but my ranking on flickchart is wrong. I will move both up a bit. Both of them are solid 3/5 movies for me. I think there's a little part of me that's put off because I think I could destroy the little bastard if I was up against him.

I'd say the Evil Dead trilogy are somewhere between a popcorn movie or The Godfather. I can't really put the films in either of those categories. Although, Army of Darkness is a movie you could consider a popcorn flick. Do you know Army of Darkness has two completely different endings?

I also watched the oldest "movie" ever made. If you can call it a film! It's of a man flailing his hands and twisting his hips for 40 seconds. I added it, flickchart has it on here. But you simply cannot judge it on story, it has to be on importance. That's why I didn't give many of them a star rating.

A Trip to the Moon was better than The Haunted House! I loved how they thought a rocket would work! :) I gave it 3 1/2 stars as well.

I have Seed of Chucky already ranked mate. I did it before I watched all those old films.

Yes that's correct, Day of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead are apart of a trilogy with Dawn of the Dead collectively. A trilogy that overall, is very consistent with it's thrills, story and influence on modern Horror.

I love Shaun of the Dead. It's a 5/5 movie for me, I love it. :) I understand you not liking horror, but to be honest mate, I don't get you not liking comedy. Can you please explain it? Maybe you're not picking the right comedies?

It was The Apartment that bet Psycho. For me, I think Psycho should of won. However, The Apartment is very good comedy/drama.

2001 and 2002 would be A Beautiful Mind and Chicago. I'm not sure you would like them Dinelka. Especially Chicago, unless you can tolerate musicals. The Dark Knight might not of won, but The Hurt Locker is a fantastic movie, no questions.

I don't think I can agree with your thinking on not going to see Gravity Dinelka. Most movies that are two hours or more don't need to be. They lag, and clearly could of been edited. So if Gravity was two hours, but it lagged at times, you would be fine paying then? If Gravity get in and tells it story and it's got no filler, then I have no problem with it. Not having a go, just my opinion.

What I do agree with you about is the ridiculous price of cinema tickets! It's gone up about $3.50 in the last three years!!! Aussies get ripped off quite a bit, don't we? Look at America, they get tickets for $12! Yet our dollar isn't much different to theirs.

I remember back a while ago you said that the only movies that you remember watching as a kid were the Home Alone movies? Something along those lines I think. That's very interesting because I'm planning on watching them around Christmas this year. Only the first and second ones, the ones that matter. I also plan on watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles around Thanksgiving :).

Did you enjoy Raiders on your re-watch as much as you did the first few times you watched it? It's an amazing film, it helped shape the way people view cinema today. By the way, I'm gonna be writing my Jaws review on Letterbox momentarily. Cheers!

I'll get back to the rest of what you said later. What you need to do is to get one of those rewards cards that are for free. I got one that didn't cost me anything. The ticket was about 15 or 16 dollars. :)

Uh ohh!!! 1/2 a star for Sleepaway Camp. :D I get why you would hate it that much, but I personally find it so ridiculous that it's enjoyable.

Nope, Psycho should have won for sure! If The Apartment was a terrible movie, then I would be. I can see why people with different tastes could like it better than Psycho.

Yeah, you told me about your money issues. All the best for the future. :) I think rewards cards will be a necessity soon because the prices won't go down, they'll just keep going up. What they should do is have cheap double bills of older movies on weekdays. Or even new movies for like, $12 to get people in who can't afford the tickets.

I know, Sleepaway Camp is ridiculous, isn't it? But personally, if I get 3 1/2 enjoyment, then that's how I rank it. I laugh that the girl driving the boat spent so long looking back! :) The way the disgusting chef died was funny also. Oh, Dinelka! The old black man is the father of James Earl Jones!! :D I also laughed at how easy it would of been to get out of that toilet when the bees were attacking! :D Shit! The damage they done! They left craters in him! :D I love how everyone NEVER says the killer's name. It's always "Oh, it's you, what are you doing here?" :D What I really want to here about is your thoughts on that batshit ending? :D

Oh good! I hope you enjoy The Way, Way Back when you see it.

Yep, atrocious kills! But I love them! :D I'm personally not looking for quality kills in a movie such as this. when it only has a budget of $350,000, one can't expect much quality. it actually made 11 million dollars!!! :O That's quite a bit in the 80's.

I think the parts that make you cringe, make me laugh. I did laugh at the reveal at the end that she's skinny the whole movie, yet when "she" is naked at the end, "she" is buff! :D Hey Dinelka! You should get a pair of those shorts! ;D That face she makes at the end is pretty freaky! Oh, the whole hinting at incest as the camera spins around the bed disturbed me as well.

I'm always open to learning about something don't know much about Dinelka. So, I'm just wondering if there is anything interesting about being a Buddhist that I might not know? Don't put too much thought into it, I'm just a curious person. :)

I'm personally not religious Dinelka. However, I feel that I'm a person that is Buddhist by heart, without being religiously connected if you get what I mean. I feel that if I was religious, then Buddhism would be for me. I also hold myself to principles, many similar to your religion. I just don't hold myself to any higher power. I hope that makes sense. It's also cool that you're religious. I'm not one of these narrow minded people who think it's one way, or no way. It's whatever works for the individual.

Religion angers me purely because of all the fighting it causes. To think of all the people who have died because of religion is saddening. But, on the other hand, religion does so much good also.

Do you know what the main religion was in Sri Lanka before Buddhism?

Back to movies. I just joined a group on icheckmovies for Australians. I haven't said anything to anyone yet. :)

My rating for Birdemic is deceiving! It is actually higher! :D Remember, I don't rank on how important or well done a movie is, just how much enjoyment I have with it. I understand why you give it 1/2 a star if you're judging it on a technical aspect, but If you rank it by enjoyment, it would have to be higher. If you and Toki were nearly pissing your pants and couldn't breathe, it has to be at least a 4/5 for enjoyment. :)

I know! They went through so much to get that petrol!! Then he just leaves it behind! I love the 30 seconds shots of signs, the long speeches about the environment, the guy "rescuing" the people on the bus, and the hanging out with my family song!! Oh, i was in SHOCK when the guy said "she's taking a shit!!" :D

Well, it looks like we both have Last Crusade at 11 :) I also liked Temple of Doom less this time. I considered dropping its score, but it barely held onto its 4.5/5

I am going to finish my Kubrick marathon. I just got done rewatching 2001 and I actually really liked it this time. I raised my score from a 6/10 to an 8/10. I'll rewatch Dr. Strangelove again and finish up with A Clockwork Orange.

I just rewatched Dr. Strangelove for the second time in less than two weeks. It went from a 4 to a 4.5 and now up to a 5/5. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

I agree with you on Temple of Doom. The mine car chase and the rope bridge sequence are two of my favorite action scenes ever and they are back to back! It is awesome. A lot of people hate him, but I also like Short Round :)

Hey Slions! What's up.

Wow man huge changes to your top 20. Taxi Driver in it (awesome), Cuckoo's Nest (weird), Psycho (I hope I love it as much as you on my third viewing) and Rear Window (desperately want to watch it.).
Also how come Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Dark Knight, Godfather Part II dropped on your list? Are you planning on watching the Godfathers soon?

Pretty amazing that A Clockwork Orange went so high up. What kept you from loving it more and from it being an absolute 10/10 if you don't mind my asking?

I watched North By Northwest recently and I didn't think that highly of it. Cary Grant was a bit annoying, especially his voice.

All these new movies entering your top 10. I haven't seen a movie that entered my top 10 in ages. I have seen some that were very close to my top 20 though. The best ones that I have seen were The Sting (1973) by George Roy Hill and The Conversation (1974) by Francis Ford Coppola.

I guess I should check out Lord of The Rings, Dark Knight and Indiana Jones trilogies again since you love them very much, although Batman's to a lesser degree.

What are 2 films that you have seen recently that you would absolutely recommend?

I also watched Star Trek Into Darkness. The first one is wayyyyy better. Why do you prefer the second one, can you give me other reasons besides the obvious one, the villain (who was very good btw).

I just got done watching Clockwork and Dr Strangelove is now officially my favorite Kubrick film. My Kubrick marathon is now over and it was great! I'm gonna try and watch some classics that I have never seen now.

The truck chase in Raiders and the tank chase in Last Crusade are two of my favorite action scenes ever.

I honestly wasn't very excited for Pacific Rim after seeing the trailer. My little brother saw it in theaters and he was obsessed with it and he claims it is his favorite movie. It came out on blu-ray here today and my brother bought it. So I watched it with my brother and one of my friends.

It was enjoyable, but it had plenty of problems. The story wasn't that great in my opinion, but it was decent. My biggest problem was with the characters. Not a single one of them did I find interesting or relatable. They were all so cliche. It was enjoyable dumb fun, but its certainly nothing special in my opinion. Do you plan on watching it?

You see I was right about the Gravity on the flickchart list? :)

Okay, this is how it is, and how it was, man.

Now mate, what I'm going to say next may upset you. In fact, I know it will upset you. I actually liked it! :D Because it is pretty much a ripoff of the original, it seemed not bad. I never thought it was amazing at all, but you know, a 7/10. But here is where I redeem myself mate! :) I HATE it now! After seeing the original, I see everything wrong with the remake more clearly now. I wouldn't be the worst movie I've seen by a long shot (I've seen some crap), but it's only a 3/10 in my eyes.

I'm watching Family Plot because it's on quite a few lists on icheckmovies. I don't like how few I have on some lists! :D I also think I might watch some great movies that I never would of considered before. Like my recent watching of Sergeant York. I only watched that because it's on five lists. Yet I gave it 5/5 on letterboxd, I friggin' loved it!

I know my Pyscho comment wouldn't piss you off, I was being farcical. :)

Oh, I meant current Film Junk people. I didn't include Greg because he's been gone for months. That was a reason shit hit the fan with Greg. He had a lot of personal problems around that time. His girlfriend left him, and was working long hours managing the book store he works in. He probably didn't even watch the movies for the podcast. He probably went off memory. If you listen to early eps of Film Junk when Frank wasn't there, he would talk quite frequently.

I would purchase one if I was trusting of the internet, hell, I would probably give them five bucks. But I don't trust it. Did you see the guy that lost two million dollars from an Internet scam? He doesn't live too far away from me.

Gravity is my movie of the year Dinelka. It is so tense, so beautiful to look at, PLUS they do a fantastic job with sound, and silence. This is a 10/10 all day for me. Bullock and Clooney are fantastic too. I know it's tough for you, but if there is a way for you to see it in IMAX 3d, I highly recommend it. The price is absurd, though! I had to pay $26 fuckin' dollars for a ticket. Bloody Americans, whinging about $17.50.

Is Birdemic 2 worth a watch for me buddy? Considering how much I love the first film.

Yeah, I don't get the hate for Scream 4. I had a lot of fun with it. I think it could possibly be linked to the Scary Movie films why people don't like it.

It's not that nice I have silver! I lost my gold medal! I hope I regain it today when I see Rush.Das Boot is a great film, I hope you like it. :) King Kong and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane are both top 1000 movies on flickchart also. :)

I know EXACTLY what you mean about the autosearch! Sometimes I write the whole title in, yet it doesn't come up! I then delete a letter, and there it is! Very annoying! I also notice that if you are typing and it comes up, it then moves onto the more random options if you missed picking it.

Yeah, I get your situation. It will still be a blast in 2d. I'm actually watching it again today! Did I tell you that? I can't remember! Been talkin' to a lot of people this morning. :)

I will keep my eye out for Birdemic 2 then Dinelka. Maybe I'll watch it when someone puts it up on YouTube like the other Birdemic movie. And no, the director thinks he made a masterpiece. :D

Scream 4 seems a little out of place above some of those films in that list. But I'm fucking happy you loved it so much man. I'm also glad you like the horror genre now! You should try movies of every genre to test what you love. I need to know when you're gonna watch a Evil Dead movie mate? :)

I wish you all the best with your finical issues. Hopefully one day soon it will be better fir you. I have my fingers crossed anyway mate. :)

Yeah, I loved Gravity so much that I went I watched it with my brother-in-law the next day. :D I may Write a review when I get back home Dinelka. :)

Usually 3.5/5 is the cutoff for movies I give a like to on letterboxd. Many of those movies are fantastic, so I have to give it a like. I gave a three star movie a like once also because it was a heavy three, if you get me. :)

I have about three lists that I'm annoyingly missing one or two movies!

I just couldn't get over the cigarette scene for hours after! For a guy with so much wrong with his body, to be able to light a cigarette is mightily impressive. It's a 3.5/5 movie for me.

Well done by the way. You're starting to watch quite a few movies I've never seen before. I may just have to come to you for info on films the way you're going. Keep it up mate. :)

You may have to forgive some of the low budget feel of Evil Dead. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell went through hell making it. Anyway, it's my least favourite of the trilogy. I love Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness a lot more.

Yep, I would consider Cloverfield a horror for sure! A horror, with elements of an action film.

Hey, it's no worries mate. :) That's who I am, I worry and try and help people I like. I have your back as much as I can.

JB HI FI Dinelka, that's where you need to go for some variety. You're in Melbourne, right? I don't know how close you are to it, nor do I want to (your privacy), but there's a big JB store in the city there that I've been to. That's a good spot for DVDs. :) The Quatermass film is from Hammer films.

I don't know if you saw it, or if I missed your reply, but I left you a comment on your letterboxd review of Pacific Rim. I do feel very much the same as you about the film. I gave it a 3.5/5, but it's a light 3.5. I just didn't connect with any of the characters. I found the scientists annoying, the Asian girl wasn't interesting, and they could of given Charlie Hunnum a better part, because he is a great actor (I watch him on Sons of Anarchy). My major problem with the film was them casting an English, and American to play Aussies. It would be fine if they delivered with the accent, but they didn't, they were fuckin' terrible!!!! I thought there was plenty of Aussies in Hollywood? Why, oh why cast so terribly!

Good man, everything is good.

How is the Horror-Thon going? You seem to be a bigger fan of the genre now from what I see on Letterboxd right?

I gotta see Rear Window and Vertigo. I don't know why but all of Hitchcock films that I have seen seem a bit dated to me. Very weird. An exception would be Rebecca. That is probably the most suspenseful movie of his that I have seen. There are a lot of movies that copy the North by Northwest formula and I didn't enjoy it that much because I had seen most of it before and Cary Grant kept making stupid choices. I also am not a fan of the guy.

I have got to see E.T ASAP.

One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest is a movie that I still don't get why it appears on top 20 lists. I have enjoyed it very much on both viewings, but I don't think it is top 20 material. Guess it is time for a rewatch then.

I ask about the Godfathers because you rewatch movies so often man. Most of the movies I rewatch fall a bit on my ratings.

I also ask because Shawshank Redemption has trhe same position as before, and I think that you haven't seen it recently for it to be higher than The Godfather. And also Casablanca ahead of The Godfather without rewatching both? I know because I have a good memory. That's the reason I asked.

A Clockwork Orange was so mesmerizing. I couldn't believe I loved it that much.

The Conversation was woah. Probably the only movie that I have seen that made me just lie down and not do anything for the next 30 minutes after I finished watching it. If you don't like it, I would understand, Is is very, VERY slow paced. It is not a movie for everyone though. Overall I don't recommend it to you because your top 20 is filled with entertaining movies.

Oh I almost forgot, another movie that was very close to entering my top 10 would be Drive. Check out my Lis on Letterboxd for a better and more accurate ranking of my top movies.

I do plan on watching the Toy Story trilogy, its just that I am not very fond of animated movies, except animes. But I still don't watch them very often because non-animated movies have the priority as of this moment. I do plan on rewatching Indiana Jones trilogy. My rewatch of Pulp Fiction was mindblowing so, yeah Raiders has a chance to do that. Those other trilogies are up for a rewatch also.

Thanks for the recommendation man. Bicycle Thieves is one that I have been wanting to watch for ages.

I prefer the first Star Trek because Spock-Kirk are not friends and its more thrilling seeing them argue, debate and fight with each other. Cumberbatch's villain was way better than Bana's. But with that said, I don't think the villain in the first is that bad. His motivations are very clear, you don't think "my god what an a**hole, just get rid of him", you sort of sympathize with him and his hatred for Spock. But however good Cumberbatch may be, the center of Star Trek is the Spock-Kirk relationship. Says the guy who has seen only 2 Star Trek movies. :D
Also all of Karl Urban's jokes fell flat for me in Into Darkness. Yeah those are the reasons.

Any horror movies that I should absolutely see that you were extremely impressed with?

Yeah, I thought I had see that guy somewhere before when I watched Pacific Rim. Then I watched a bit of TDKR last week and spotted him.

Pacific Rim achieved what Transformers couldn't- easy to follow robot action. You should check out the Pacific Rim versions of How it Should of Ended on YouTube. It's so very true.

Many choose to see Evil Dead 2 a a remake Dinelka. If it helps you, I don't see a problem. The true answer is that Raimi had lost the right to the first film, and used the first few minutes as a sort of re-cap of what happened in the first. Don't let it bother you too much mate. :)

American Psycho wouldn't jump to mind as a horror for me personally. But I can see why people wold consider it so. Great movie.

That's cool, I'm glad you enjoyed the original so much. I personally loved the quick cuts in Evil Dead 2 when he's getting prepared to fight. I also love when he goes mad and starts dancing around with everything. Fits my sense of humour perfectly. Just be prepared for the tonal shift in Army of Darkness Dinelka.

Yep. They remake these movies pretty much for all the 'MERICANS that don't like subtitles. That's why there is a remake of The Host and The Raid coming soon as well.

The dancing stuff fits my sense of humour Dinelka. I love funny random things that are totally out of place. :D I love when Ash says 'groovy'. I also can't get enough of the scene where he connects the chainsaw. Bloody beautiful. Do you know that they had planned a sequel to Freddy vs Jason? It was going to be Freddy vs Jason vs Ash. :O That would be amazing if they had the right director and screenwriter! I can almost picture it. Ash would have to win, he always finds a way. :)

Yeah, I enjoyed both very much. Even though Kick-Ass 2 is number 15 on my favorites of the year, and Pacific Rim is number 16 haha. Why did you not enjoy Pacific Rim? And yes, Olympus was a very fun film.

Glad to see that your horror marathon went well :). Did you hit any classics? Alien, Halloween, Exorcist etc. Awesome how your love for the genre grew. I plan to have an Indiana Jones marathon this weekend seeing as when you had yours, Last Crusade moved into your top 10, and I'm pretty sure your love for the films grew. Also JC13 enjoyed his lol.

I just noticed something. When I get another friend, we will have the same number of friends.

It will be interesting to see if your opinion changes on other genres as well. You will have to choose wisely, Dinelka.

Army of Darkness is like an adventure film, isn't it? You know what Dinelka, I actually hated AoD when I first watched it. I would of given it 1 star on my first viewing. But on the second viewing, it really, really grew on me. I appreciated the jokes more (like the forgetting of the words, and Ash throwing dirt in Evil Ash's face :D), and let go that he had a chainsaw for a hand. You see, I actually watched the trilogy around the wrong way! :D I watched Army of Darkness first because I didn't know it was part of a trilogy at the time. :D I then bought Evil Dead 2 for $6. I desperately wanted to see it, but I didn't have the original! So for months it sat there, it's awesome skull cover glaring at me. Then, success! I saw a copy in Sanity! I had looked everywhere, but no success, until now! I go up to the counter, so very happy I found it, but no, what is this?! The girl behind the counter says the disc couldn't be found! She says that it was stolen! :O Man, of all the movies, someone takes that one! I tried to hold out, but I kept seeing what they were saying about Evil Dead 2. So, I watched it. I eventually got around to seeing the original, thus completing the trilogy in the wrong order. :D

Yeah, but Jason and Freddy both always have the upper hand because they're up against kid most of the time. Ash, with his chainsaw arm and BOOMSTICK stands more of a chance. Definitely against Jason, he could just cut him up, or shoot his head off. Freddy is more debatable.

Ah, so you saw the more happy ending. I can fill you in on the other ending if you wish. :)

The other Army of Darkness ending is on YouTube. If you write in Army of Darkness alternative ending, then it should come up.

I think a shot from the BOOMSTICK in Jason's face would slow him down. :) Then, if Ash was smart, shoot him in the kneecaps, then chainsaw his arms off. Finished. Plus Jason walks slow. Ash could walk directly towards him with no trouble.

Nah, I didn't re-watch Shoot 'Em Up. That's just how I feel about it right now. It may go back up on a later date. It's the first time Dumb and Dumber has been in my top ten. It has gradually moved up from. Outside my top 100, to it's current position. I just love every secongof it. :D

No I have not seen it, but it's on YouTube, so I might check it out this weekend. :)

What are some of your favorite scenes from all of the Indiana Jones movies? It seems to be your favorite trilogy of all time. Interested to hear your opinions. Here are some of mine:

Raiders-
Boulder Chase Scene
Replacing The Ark right before the boulder scene
The scene in the Snake Pit
The evil spirits scene at the end

Temple-
Mine cart scene
When they are eating dinner (Snake surprise)
Bridge rope cutting scene
When Indy realizes he doesn't have a gun so he has to fight the guys

Crusade-
Tank chase near the end
Underground (Rats, fire)
Boat chase scene
The beginning scene

I love all three films, and they all have very iconic scenes that will stay with cinema forever.

Hi Dinelka.

Dumb and Dumberer is just awful! Never watch it. It would get one star from me, purely for a running gag about a guy that keeps thinking Hrry has shit smeared all over him. I'll admit it, that gets quite a laugh from me. But that was a while ago, I don't know about now. :)

Is it actually worth watching The Aboniable Mr Phibes if you only gave it three stars? I won't get to it tonight, I have Body Heat to watch. I hope to watch My Darling Clementine as well. That would be four movies off my list of shame for the weekend. :) I was surprised how much I liked The Seven Year Itch, but then remembered Billy Wilder directed it. :) I would consider him one of my favourite directors now. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes wasn't for me. Musicals rarely work for me. Plus, the Marilyn Monroe performance of Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend didn't seem as dazzling as critics make it out to be. I will guess now and say Body Heat will be awesome. :)

No, Dumb and Dumberer is just bad. I would never watch it if I was you. I am really hoping Dumb and Dumber To is successful.

Singin' in the Rain has some decent parts. I was actually blown away by Donald O'Connor performing Make 'Em Laugh. It was my most memorable song in the movie. I haven't seen it, but Sweeney Todd could be a good musical for you to try too Dinelka. It even has the horror story to keep it interesting.

Yeah, a study found that the gumtree sucks up gold through the roots. Thus, is a way to know where gold is. Interesting.

Very low budget was Jackson's past with Kiwi films. I personally like Braindead (or Dead Alive) over Bad Taste. Suspiria is really creepy. It's similar in ways to the set designs in The Shining.

70% for Sharknado would be for pure enjoyment, not technical excellence. I understand. I also saw Big Ass Spider! got a 75% score on Rottentomatoes.

I wish you liked Sharknado. I will still check it out, I just have to wait for it to be a good time for Kate and I. What about Sharktopus? Any interest in that movie? It's got two sequels coming soon.

Toy Story 4 is Pixar being influenced by Disney in my opinion. As soon as Disney owned Pixar, they brought out that terrible looking Planes movie.

Do you think you will check out Braindead (Dead Alive)?

Do you have interest in Carrie?

I think you should definitely see Let the Right On In at some stage. I think you would appreciate it more.

Dinelka, you should watch Poltergeist so you can listen to Film Junk's latest ep.

Jay even got a petition going to get more people pressuring Frank. :)

Hmm, you could go through your list and write down the films really out of place. Just so you know to get back to them. Really, you have a lot less movies than me, it should be a bit easier for you. Try to get all the films in the general area of where they should be, then work in blocks of 25, 50, or 100 to organise them further. Hmm, I'm trying to think of other ways, but none come to mind at the moment. If you're still stuck, come back and tell me mate.

Like I said, get them in a genral order, then work in a block. Work to a system, and it will get organised. The problem i see happening is that you will second guess some of your changes. :)

When you bring imdb into it, then yes, The Dark Knight is overrated. I do disagree that the film wouldn't have as much buzz if Ledger didn't die. His performance, is the shit. :D I can't get enough of it. :)

I question The Dark Knight Rises being overrated. Critics really shit on that movie when it came out.

I thought you ''knew'' me well enough to know there's nothing you can say about movies that can make my blood boil. I'm very zen Dinelka. :D That's why it frustrates me when fanboys argue (like squaremaster and yellowjacket in the Avengers vs The Dark Knight comment section) about movies really intensely. Who gives a shit! :)

Now, I have to ask a question. Are you putting the LOTR below some of these other classics just because they're simply older, and have the reputation? Or do you genuinely believe the classics are better than the LOTR?

Never talk to you again? Mate, you're too defensive! The only way I wouldn't talk to you again is if you attack me as a person, or I die. :D I really hope neither of them happen. Well, one of them inevitable, but I don't want to think about that. :)

I respect both your opinions on Ledger and The Dark Knight. I can see where you are coming from with The Dark Knight, but I just think Ledger does too good a job to be overrated. I actually re-watched it the other night and loved every second of his performance.

Yeah, but I have personally heard some reviews for The Dark Knight Rises that make it sound like a 4/10. But you're right, the scores are very high.

Yep, squaremaster is a piece of shit in my opinion. Along with yellowjacket. I removed squaremaster as a friend after I saw what a troll he is.

That's the answer I wanted to hear, because of how structurally good they are. I feel some people put older films up so high purely because they're old. Also, stop saying sorry. :D

Annie Hall and Manhattan are Allen's most well known films. But personally, I don't find them funny, or engaging. I much prefer Allen movies like Blue Jasmine, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Radio Day, and Hannah and Her Sisters.

I agree that Lee is underrated. :)

Well, I'm very glad I'm not like yellowjacket or squaremaster! He obviously doesn't have much of a life to be worried what everybody is saying about Nolan. I. Don't. Give. A. Shit. One should be fine just believing in their own opinion. Not going around forcing an opinion. When one does this, it looks pathetic, and desperate for attention. Oh, and yes, I saw that he had all the Marvel movies at the bottom, just like yellowjacket has all the Nolan films at the bottom. Just shows how Blindly they follow.

It wasn't just because of what you said, it was a bit of a coincidence as well. Channel 9 were playing it, so I just sat there and watched it. I listened to Film Junk during the ad breaks. :D Truly a great ep! Jay is ripping on Frank for the whole Poltergeist ep. :D

I think I liked Sunset Blvd. a lot more than you. But I agree, Double Indemnity is better. I also thoroughly enjoyed Ace in the Hole.

I don't think I'm aware of a podcast that review just old movies, sorry. Revising new movies, or bad movies seems to be the podcasting trend. It's probably where the majority of listeners to podcasts would focus. Jay talks about older films sometimes in the What We've Been Watching section of the show.

Ah, like you have an old soul, Dinelka? That's fine, it makes you interesting, an individual whose taste in film sticks out from the pack of people your age. Always be proud that you can look past how old a film is, and see how amazing they are. Also, if you talk you talk to people you know who like films, but are beginners, help them broaden what good films are. Oh, and the original Transformers cartoon movie will always shit on anything Bay cooks up!! :D

The 39 Steps is a 3.5/5 for me, I always said I favourite movies with that score. I like it, just not as much as you. Probably how I like Sunset Blvd. more than you.

I'm not a big downloader of movies. I'm kinda slack when looking for movies. Plus i worry about viruses. If I find Horror of Dracula, I will watch it straight away.

You should check out more 70's movies as well. It's considered by critics to be one of the best decades of cinema history. I personally love so many movies from the decade.

I enjoyed Now, Voyager, but one part of the film is terrible imo. It must of been one of the first movies that featured the method of turning an "ugly duckling" into a beauty by just taking glasses off and putting a dress on. I think it sends out the wrong message to people. There is people out there with deeper problems than that, something a glossy new exterior won't help. Sure, for the movie it's a nice moment, but I can't help but feel that people with troubles wouldn't like how easy it appears for the characters to get over their problems.

I totally agree with you about Bette Davis eyes. They're weird! She looks like an overgrown bug. There's even a song about here eyes! Whenever I hear that song, my brain is thinking differently about the lyrics 'she's got Bette Davis eyes'. So.....she looks constantly surprised? :D

I love The Untouchables! I have seen that movie at least ten times. I had a VHS copy as a kid that I watched all the time. The scene I love is in the church when Connery is talking about 'the Chicago way'. Just brilliant stuff! The only bit that annoys me is Costner yelling over the building 'is this a game!?' and other stuff like that. It seemed to me he could of done better than that. I have Strength of the Righteous on my iPad, so you know how much I adore the score. It would be up there as one of my favourites.

I liked Thor 2, but I had a number of problems with it. It would be a light 3.5/5 for me. I see why The Counselor would divide people! It's very weird mate! But I have a weird sense of humour, so I found the parts that were meant to be funny hilarious. :D Something Cameron Diaz does will divide women. The woman behind me was pissing herself laughing! The two in front didn't move for the whole movie. :D

You watch Fresh Prince? Man, that's a bit before your time, mate! :) Is it re-runs?

Well, it's up there for sure! Personally, I enjoy Scarface better, but one could make a case for The Untouchables. Other movies that would have to be considered are Carlito's Way, Carrie, Blow Out, Sisters, and Casualties of War.

I'm too far removed from Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind to comment. It's been ten years since i've seen it. But I feel like it was a light 3.5/5 for me. I think I could understand it better now.

You need to see The Raid so you can see the new teaser trailer for the sequel. One of the best trailers i've seen in ages.

Jesus Christ, Dinelka. :D I know, I will get to it eventually. If I see it available to see easily, i will watch it straight away. I'm sorry, you probably want to discuss it with me, but I'm too accustomed to my iPad to look for Horror of Dracula. You will be the first to know when I see it.

Hey, we have not talked in a while! Been enjoying your reviews on Letterbox! Seems that Alfie Hitchcock is your favorite director? Great choice! I've been watching more of his films lately. Or, technically re-watching. Rear Window is my favorite for sure, I don't care what my Flickchart says because it's really hard to get everything in the right order.

What do you have planned to watch in the next week or so? I'm in the middle of a Die Hard marathon. I watched the second one today and will be watching the third one tomorrow. I will also be checking out The Hunger Games: Catching Fire near the release date.

Your almost at 1,000 channel comments! Congrats!

Wow, 27? That's incredible. You must really love his work. Funny you mention Christopher Lee's Dracula movies, I've only seen Horror of Dracula, which was incredible. I have yet to see the others, but I really want to.

That's a great list of movies to watch. The Raid is an awesome action, martial arts movie. It's actually pretty violent though. Carlito's Way is pretty damn good, but can't touch Scarface. The Iron Giant is a great film, animation at it's peak. Million Dollar Baby has great performances and is an emotionally re-warding experience.

Hopefully you get to watch as many films as you can between now and Monday! I have another question. Who is your favorite actor and actress?

Read your review, had forgotten that Ennio Morricone wrote the music for that film. He was doing a series of concerts here in Ireland a few months ago. My local arthouse cinema held screenings of some of his classic westerns, followed by Q&A's with the man himself. I saw him walking out into his limo when I went to Monsters University. It was like he was a god or something, he had, like, 12 bodyguards! XD

I ask because one of the last times I tried to download something, the movie had an annoying search engine attached to it. I didn't use it, but I looked it up, and it's very hard to get rid of it. I've been put off considerably since.

I have seen some documentaries if you ever want a recommendation. Some might not be for you though, seeing as the docs you want to see are film related.

I bloody loved it! Man, how awesome is Christopher Lee? He doesn't say much, but his physical performance is brilliant. The first time you see him with fangs out, and blood on his face is quite a frightening image. When letterboxd is working, I will give it a 4.5/5. I watched a movie called Nosferatu the Vampyre last week. It's interesting seeing how vastly different the directors took the two stories from the initial same premise.

Ok, I will get to the other Dracula films at some stage. I actually saw the third film on Blu Ray last week in JB HI FI.

This is the fifth version of this Dracula story that I've seen before, and Peter Cushing is by far my favourite Van Helsing.

Yeah, that graveyard scene with the girl was freaky also. The look on her face was very unsettling.

That maid was an idiot! :D

For a movie from the 50's, the "death" of Dracula was like a visual punch to the jaw. I had to crack it back into place. ;)

I just watched a show where a woman was addicted to growing her hair. She won't cut it, even thought it's giving her neck and back problems. He hair is 6.5 metres long!! She's been growing it for 21 years!

The other women loves stinging herself with bees. She stings herself 15 times a day because she believes it's therapeutic. Weird.

I think Horror of Dracula is my favourite, yes. Nosferatu the Vampyre would be next.

I enjoyed Cushing more than Hopkins for sure.

Lee is the best, but my second favourite is Klaus Kinski as Dracula in Nosferatu the Vampire. Very weird and creepy.

Rapunzel, that's what she likes to be thought of as.

Yep, those are the two Hitchcock films.

Well, you're to thank for me seeing Sanjuro from introducing me to Dailymotion. I must also thank you for ichckmovies.

When I say different take, I mean a VERY different take on Van Helsing. The whole movie is very weird and depressing, but I love it, for different reasons to Horror of Dracula. Well, the title does come from Werner Herzog, the man that ate a shoe in a documentary because he lost a bet. :D

How long has Dailymotion been around for? It may as well of been on the other side of the galaxy, that's how much I knew about it. :D

Like I said, I wouldn't of watched any of them ever if you didn't tell me about icheckmovies. :)

To be precise, it was Herzog's shoe that he chowed down on. I think he had a bet with Errol Morris that he would never make a film, which obviously was incorrect. So he boiled his shoes, and ate it. I really want to see Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe, it's only 20 mins long.

Yes, yes, I'm like an old codger with these new fangled gizmostrons. :) Is there anymore popular sites like YouTube and Dailymotion? :D

58 bloody horror movies! It's funny, it wasn't that long ago that you said to me you weren't a fan. :D

I'm very glad you liked Arsenic and Old Lace, buddy. :) I love, love, love, love the part where Grant throws her out of the house! :D I can't remember what he says now, but I watched that part about ten times in a row. :D It's a 10/10 for me.

Oh, when I was younger, I convinced one of my friends his name meant blockhead. :D :D I convinced him, then never corrected it! About two years later, he asked me about his name meaning blockhead. I told him, Cody, i was only joking, you still believe it??! He fell silent after that. Don't feel sorry for him, he's up himself. He thought he was going to make the AFL (despite drinking and being lazy), so he never worried about school. So he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. :)

I have no contact with ''blockhead'' anymore. he's one of those guys that's nice to you when you're alone with him, but annoys you in a group.

The teaser for The Raid 2 really only shows glimpses, without giving much away. I don't know much plot details after seeing it. If you want to see it fresh, I get it. But all I'm saying is that it's one of the best teasers I've seen in years.

Blockhead was one of those guys with the dumb laugh, you know? One can tell their IQ by just the laugh. Very much like Butt-head. :)

Hey, it's no problem, Dinelka. What you should know about me is that I'm a very loyal person to people I like. I'm a good person to have in your corner, which you do. You can count on me. Well....... as much as it's possible on here. :D

I'm glad it's in the past for you. I know what happened wasn't good, but try and learn from it. Allow it to make you a stronger person. I'm not saying you were weak, just try and turn the pain into a positive. Maybe wiser? Maybe smarter? I don't know your situation, you may of had it worse than me, so I won't try and be a know it all. But that's what I did. I became a stronger person from constant ridicule. I suffered it at work. People thought they were the only people working because I did things differently to them. So all day I could hear criticisms of my work. Despite being an employee of the month! I have nerves of steel now. Petty things people do don't bother me. Do I make sense? I just want to help. :)

Feel free to talk to me if you ever need to. :) Was that guy one of the idiots that was calling you 'curry'? His words, not mine. I would never say that.

Oh, I'm surprised Buddhism isn't strict on violence in games and movies. I guess they recognise it as minor compared to reality.

Hopefully we can talk more in the future. I'm really enjoying your Letterbox reviews actually, your review for Vertigo was probably the best I've ever seen! I didn't know Christopher Lee played the character, that's interesting. '

I agree, Duel is fantastic. I see you gave War of the Worlds two and a half stars on Letterbox. What were your reasons for not liking it? Personally, I don't think it's a great movie, but would probably give it a 3 and a half. Terminal and A.I. are both worth watching.

As for 30 Amazing Movies, I will be watching The Shining right now in my dark basement all alone, and will be reviewing it when finished. I pretty much just pick a random movie off my Top 100. Don't be surprised if there's a lack of reviews from me this week, I have a lot of school projects to finsh before the winter break.

To be honest, I don't get why you're having trouble with the comments. If you "like" every comment, then it's simply clicking until a comment with a like appears.

I'm taller than both Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee, so yes, I guess I'm an imposing height. But people are dicks, Dinelka. They've had a rough life, so they take it out on other people. I personally try and go through life as happy as possible, so I don't deal well to people mocking me unnecessarily. However, I do have a breaking point. If they got me annoyed to enough, I can get very mad. They were cowards, they never criticised to my face.

Sorry, but I think I used up my favours getting the comments to one at a time so I could use it without stalling. Anyway, it was Caesar that helped me out. Are you on Facebook? There is a group called the Flickcharters for people on Flickchart. You can share ideas, and have discussions. I think you can even hear what they're planning for the future. You could talk to Nathan through there if you're on Facebook. :)

To be honest, I was starting to think you were phasing me out. Not talking to me on here, and not answering a question on letterboxd had me thinking.

Yep, I'm about 20cm taller than Karloff, and 5 or 6cm taller than Lee. :) Don't worry, I could seriously hurt people if I wanted to. I could of picked the bully up by the shirt and thrown him through the air. But I choose not to. Why should I lower myself down to their level? I stay true to myself.

It wasn't that you didn't comment on Flickchart, I'm used to that. It was the combination of both Flickchart and Letterboxd that had me thinking. Plus you asked me how I can answer the questions on letterboxd, then no replies followed after I explained how. It may be a misunderstanding, but what you got to know about me Dinelka is that I really over-think things. It's also because a few people are doing it to me lately on Flickchart for no fault of mine. So, I'm kinda upset, wondering why when all I try to do is be nice.

I am very happy to hear that you think of me that way Dinelka.

Hopefully you can watch as many Spielberg films as possible! I see you just watched The Adventures of Tintin and gave it a 3.5 on Letterbox. I really like that movie, it's just that there are many better films that came out in 2011. I know, A.I. gets a lot of undeserved hate for some reason, but just like you, I like it. I agree with you, The Terminal is pretty good.

Yeah, I saw your review of Duel! 4.5? Nice. What other films from Spielberg will you be watching now? Don't worry, I'll keep the reviews coming. I just re-watched The Big Lebowski and posted a review. You really need to see that one.

When will you be seeing The Hobbit again? You told me on Letterbox, but I forgot. I'm seeing it next weekend, turns out I'm too busy. Luckily though, I'm getting most of my school projects done on time, and this winter break will be a great 2 weeks off for me.

Oh, and I do use my height to my advantage. Like I've told you before, I put on my deep, serious voice at work to stir up the lazy bastards. But I never bully, that's not who I am.

At school, the teachers used to think i was a bully because I was so much stronger and taller than everybody else. One day, I was shaking a guy in my class. We were just joking around, but the teacher spotted me and yelled at me. She would then say stuff in German when I would walk past her.

I was getting shoved in high school jokingly by my friend. I let him do it five or six time before I shoved him back. He ended up on the ground a few metres back. I accidentally nearly shoved him into the rubbish bin. :D I helped him up, and apologised. A little shove to me, is a big shove to someone else. I don't know my own strength sometimes. :)

My friends are such bastards sometimes. One was punching me in the arm trying to hurt me.....but it didn't. I just sat there unworried by the punches. He nearly wore himself out punching me in the arm. I think I was annoying him because he was trying so hard, yet it was doing nothing. Ha, I really pissed him off when I said "You might finally be starting to bruise me". :D After he hit me, I'd say fifteen times in the arm. I said "ok, my turn!!!". He stopped me. :D You see, people try and challenge me because they know I'm not a bully. It's fucking weird if you ask me.

I'm nearly finished watching Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. I gotta say, I don't understand why this is in the top movies on Flickchart. At most, this movie will end with a 3/5. It's a bit too ridiculous for me.

I'll be looking forward to your E.T. review, because it's your #3 of all time. Yeah, Munich is a great movie. When your done with your marathon, could you add all of the films you saw to your Spielberg rankings list so I can see how you would rank them? That would be great. That's a good idea to watch all of the ones you have not seen from the segment.

Hopefully you enjoy the new Hobbit movie! Sucks that you have to wait that long though. I was just wondering, where do you see all of the movies for your Spielberg a thon? I'm guessing online? I watch films online on a site called Swarm TV.

I think you should re-watch Saving Private Ryan, it only keeps getting better with multiple viewings. I was mostly underwhelmed by The Color Purple. That's good that your finishing off with Raiders. Will you be watching any of the other Indy films?

Aren't you having a Scorsese marathon after the Spielberg is over? If so, what films do you plan to watch?

Have you seen Ferngully? Is it worth my time? I still can't get over how weird that was!

I'm glad I don't bully either. It doesn't stop people avoiding me because they think I'm scary. That really pisses me off. People think I'm stupid as well.

Well, despite being my friend, he had it coming.

One bastard that I went to school with punched me in the balls for a joke because he didn't think I would do anything. I grabbed him and smashed him into the brick wall. The only reason I stopped because the teacher was there. He's one of those loud mouth footy types who walks around arrogantly. I quickly showed him not to mess with me. So I definitely use my strength to my advantage when absolutely necessary. Nobody does that to me.

I do love the part where Hook takes the kids. It used to freak me out as a kid. That's Bob Hoskins as Schmee. If you haven't seen him before, then you have some great
Hoskins movies to see. I didn't realise Hoffman was Hook until a few years ago!! Blew my friggin' mind........all over the wall!! :) What's your verdict on Peter's kids? Oh, what about Rufi OH!!!! :)

I'll be looking forward to that review. It looks like E.T. is still at your No.3 though? I see you re-watched TS2, and I was just curious that you didn't watch the other ones as well.

I will go look at your Spielberg rankings in a sec, because I'm interested in seeing what you thought was better than this, that etc. Is he your favorite director now after watching 20 of his films?

Lol it seems like you re-watch LOTR once a month! Hopefully your Scorsese marathon goes well. You will become more familiar with his work as well.

I don't pay for Swarm TV, because as you said, quality doesn't matter as much to be as the film itself. I actually go on another site to watch movies now called Putlocker.com. You can watch movies for free that are currently in theatres. They even have the new Hobbit movie!

What's the saying? Don't poke a sleeping bear? Well, he poked the bear that day, and the bear bit back. :) People forget that I can cause a lot of damage if I want to.

Now you mention it, yes, yes he definitely looks like Spielberg! :D

I think awkward for Williams would fit the character at the time, hmm? Or you have a different point on the matter?

I will have to disagree about the daughter. Since I was very young, I've always wanted to throw her off the balcony. :D

Good, spread the word about the awful trailer. I don't think it's proofreading Dinelka. It's just that they only think about getting people in seats. If that means spoiling the movie, then they don't care.

Nope! That's all she deserves. :D It would be a service to mankind. Actually, I feel like throwing both of them off the balcony.......old Wendy too. :D

Wow, that's a long day. How much of that time was spent praying? It's pretty cool hearing about your religion. I don't know any buddhists, so it's cool.

Yeah, but it's a Christian holiday, yet I get rewarded for not believing in god. :D It's like if I turned up to your temple expecting clothes and books........50 inch tvs for their own room. I hate them. :D

I plan to re-watch Citizen Kane today. I want to see if I appreciate it more this time. I also will be knocking The Magnificent Ambersons off my list of shame tomorrow.

Looks like your Scorsese marathon is going well! Cape Fear you gave a 4.5/5. Can't wait for your review. Looks like you'll be watching Casino next? I'm sure you'll love it. And yeah, check out the Star Wars reviews whenever you can. I'll be re-watching and reviewing the first two Godfather films over the next two days.

Haha, thinking ahead to the Blu-Ray release? That works out well. All of those films you've mentioned look great. American Hustle and 12 Years A Slave are both in my Top 5 of the year, and I've seen around 40 from this year. Just remember, Putlocker.com has every movie that has come out this year!

As for Taxi Driver, the more I think about it the more I love it. Everything about it is flawless, and I truly believe it deserves my No.3 spot. I've actually watched it a few more times since my review for 30 Amazing Movies. Anyways, hopefully you get to see a lot of movies!

Two hours, wow. For you, is it hard to let go during praying?

The Magnificent Ambersons was pretty good, but not in the same league as Citizen Kane for me. Too bad Welles' original cut with forty extra minutes was destroyed.

A 4.9! Dinelka, c'mon! :D Round up, not down. If it's that close, I personally think it's a 5/5. Woah!! My buddy went a bit dark there with the gang rape comment. :D

I will re-watch North by Northwest when I go where there's no power in a few days. I will come back and will knock a bunch of movies off my list of shame. :) Actually knocked one off just before. It was Help!, starring The Beatles. Don't understand why it's so high to be honest. I'd give it a 2.5/5.

I will have a safe holiday...unless there's a bushfire. High risk of it this year. D.E.C really didn't get to do many controlled burns this year, so they're very worried about bush fires. The amount of fuel that's on the ground could lead to disaster.

Ok, I will tell you my thoughts on The Hobbit when I see it. I was going to do that anyway buddy. :)

Robin Williams is really great in Good Will Hunting. There's a reason he won the Oscar for it.

That's why it's a teaser trailer. I think trailers give away too much, so it's perfect for me. I'm lovingn the score, the outback setting, and the feet touching the floor part from Guy Pearce is brilliant. I got so much more out of it. It probably helps that i've seen Animal Kingdom, and know what the director is capable of. I really just wanted to show it because you know pretty much nothing about Aussie films. I will be avoiding all the rest of the trailers for this.

Hey man, I'm conducting somewhat of a survey with what I perceive to be the diehard movie fans on this site.. How long has your #1 movie been your absolute favorite? And do you think it will ever change? How loyal and/or biased are you to that movie? Also, the same questions apply for your top 5 as well as your top 10. Are they pretty much edged in stone on your chart or have your top 5 and/or top 10 changed over the past few years?

So what are you most excited to see this fall season? I'm personally dying to see Gone Girl, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and Interstellar. Oh, man Interstellar looks so good!

Thank you for your reply to my earlier question(s) about your favorite film and your top ten. I asked this question to various people because I've battled with replacing my #1 film for over a year now. I saw Casablanca for the first time in 1999 I think. It left a profound impression on me. It soon became my favorite film as I would routinely revisit it. So, for roughly 15 years, Casablanca has been my favorite film. I've had some really good times with it as well. I first saw it when I was in the military. I just relate to so much of the film. Oddly enough, I relate to both Victor Laszlo AND Rick Blaine!! Victor for the military lifestyle that requires you to be away from the love of your life, and Rick for the duality of choosing between someone you love and doing the right thing. So many themes strike all the right chords with me.

Fast-forward the time to 2013. I saw Vertigo for the first time ever. It blew me away more than any film I had ever seen. Everything about it was brilliant. And the more I watched it, I began to develop an obsession for it. I've never watched a film so many times in such a short span. I watched Vertigo more than ten times in a month. It just drew me in. I wanted to put it as my #1 film, but I didn't want to make a decision based on a knee-jerk reaction. So, I gave it time to see if my affinity for it would lessen. I even forced myself to stop watching it so much. Well, a few weeks ago, I showed it to some friends and family. I discovered that my affection for this film hadn't changed a bit. So now comes the hard part. I almost feel like I'm cheating on Casablanca if I put Vertigo #1. To answer my own question, I'm very loyal to my favorite film of all time. But I think the time has come for me to be true to my chart and put Vertigo at #1.

I've seen Casablanca recently and I still love it as much as I did when I first watched it. But I think I enjoy Vertigo from start to finish a little more than I love Casablanca from start to finish.

I know I'm probably taking this way too serious, but watching movies is one of my favorite pass times. What do you think? Have you ever had this dilemma?

That's fantastic man!! And I'm absolutely loving your new chart so far. Casablanca, Vertigo, 12 Angry Men, and Psycho are in both our top 10. You also have North by Northwest and Rear Window in your top 10. Well, I have them in my top 20, so there's a lot of overlap in our charts. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Have you seen All About Eve? It's not yet on your newly constructed chart that's still in progress, and I can't seem to remember if it was on your old chart. If you haven't seen it, I strongly advise you to. People toss words around like "flawless" and "perfect" very loosely, but I don't. There are only a handful of truly perfect films that I've seen in my lifetime. All About Eve is one of the films that make the shortlist. Best dialogue these ears have ever heard. The entire cast put on an all-world acting clinic!!! Put it this way: If someone told me that All About Eve was the best movie they'd ever seen in life, I'd understand perfectly and not offer a countering argument.

Blind! Definitely blind!! That's what I did. I actually went into this film with a predisposition about it and about Bette Davis. Neither the film nor the actress seemed to be my cup of tea. Well, boy was I ever so wrong. It's a rich and powerful story flawlessly executed.

Since seeing it, I wanted to see more Bette Davis films. I recently saw Dead Ringer and really liked it. It's a film that has her playing twins. So you get a double dose of her. Very good movie, but, it doesn't hold a candle to the performance in All About Eve. So watch Eve first, but I must warn you that it's probably all downhill from here with Bette Davis films... which is fine with me.

I'll just say this and try to be quiet:: Before seeing All About Eve, I always thought the character Eve was played by Bette Davis. However, Eve is actually played by Anne Baxter. Bette Davis' character is Margo Channing. That being said: By story, the film was accurately titled, but if we based it on actual performance, the film would be called "All About Margo" as Bette was simply better than Baxter. Baxter was great in her own right as a youngster, but Bette lit up the stage and outshined everyone in every scene she was in.

Also, George Sanders was remarkable. He's a great supporting actor that really doesn't get his just due in name recognition these days. Also, Marilyn Monroe was in this film. It's loaded with actors and actresses. Thelma Ritter was in it as well. You may not be very familiar with her, but she played the caretaker for Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. Great actress as well.

I somewhat envy you because you're about to watch it for the first time. But every subsequent re-watch is just as good. Actually, the film gets better with each viewing, so I guess there's no need for envy here. :-)

Enjoy the film and please come back and tell me your impression of it as soon as you're finished.

Sorry for the late response. Been busy with grad school. Glad you got around to watching it. And glad to know you liked it. Have you watched it again since your initial viewing?

Also, I love the way your top 10 is shaping out on your newly constructed chart. Casablanca as your number one? SLions, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And then you also have Vertigo, Psycho, and 12Angry Men in your top 10 as well? I'm loving it.

I'm not as big on The Apartment as you are though. I do recognize Wilder's genius in it though. I've only seen 4 Wilder films and consider The Apartment to be my least favorite. Witness for the Prosecution &gt; Sunset Blvd. > Double Indemnity > The Apartment. Have you seen all of these?

Hey man, I just watched Harakiri for the first time and was amazed to say the least! I then watched Rashomon and loved it as well. So, I'm now making it my business to watch more from Kobayashi and Kurosawa. I'm familiar with their filmographies. How would you rank their films with relation to each other? Also, in what recommended order should I watch them?

Thanks for the reply. I've seen Rashomon and parts of Yojimbo and Seven Samurai. Absolutely loved Rashomon and have it ranked in my top 20. Yojimbo and Seven Samurai seem like great films as well. I just haven't gotten around to going back and finishing them. Yojimbo is much shorter, so I'll probably re-watch it from the beginning later on this month.

Have you seen Rashomon? If so, what did you think of it? How would you rank it among the rest of the 10 Kurosawa films you've seen?

Also, have you seen Kobayashi's Harakiri? If not, I urge you to watch it as soon as possible. I haven't seen a lot of Japanese films yet, but it's hard to imagine one better than Harakiri. It's in my top 10 and will likely remain there for a while.

Hey man, long time no conversation exchange. Just thought I'd drop you a line or two about the reshaping of your chart. I've gotta admit, I liked your top ten much better when you had Casablanca, Vertigo, Psycho, and 12 Angry Men in it. Well, at least Psycho is still at #2. :-)

For what it's worth, you did replace them with worthy films such as TGF2, Casino, Departed, Goodfellas, and Se7en. I was into all these films in the 90's and early 2000's, but my taste changed. I still like those movies, but my affinity for the older classics increased immensely over the years.

Of your top 10, I've seen all of them (multiple times might I add) except Ace in the Hole and the Harry Potter movie. I've never seen a single Harry Potter movie. Should I? What am I missing out on? Also, I've never even heard of Ace in the Hole. Having it as your #1 film makes me curious. Care to elaborate my friend?

************Spoilers for Hateful Eight************

I was still involved in the carriage scenes because I was looking for clues to the mystery. It may not hold up on a rewatch now I know what's happening. I do love me a mystery like Murder on Orient Express, and that's what I was hoping for. Something that delivered a satisfying twist. However, to find out all are involved and the other people were killed is just boring to me. There's no excitement, there's no originality. Tarantino voiceover pulled me out of the movie as much as his bloody Aussie accent in Django Unchained and even the clues don't lead anywhere interesting. Who cares about the jellybean?

I'm curious to know how it would've been before the leak of the script. How many changes he made.

I'm thinking its ranked either seventh or eight. There's a clear worst two to me, and they both feature Kurt Russell.

The only scene that really grabbed my attention was Jackson talking about his big black dingus haha. Made my jaw drop.
