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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, some people have a crazy amount of films on their flickchart. I'm waiting to hit the 1000 movie mark.

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

Dustron on 3/25/2012 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

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

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

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

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

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

A reason why it's ranked so high is cause I rank a movie in that year in order of how I liked them. I would rather watch battleship then the hunger games. That's where it's at. Where it's at right now, is not where I want to be honest. What I liked about the film is the action. Also Im a blockbuster person. I typically like movies no one else does. It reminded me of transformers, which I loved. Battleship isn't a great movie, but I found it enjoyable. Plus I think Rihana is sexy.

Yes, I completely agree. It seems we share the same thoughts. A favourite movies list should contain movies you like and enjoy the most overall, NOT movies you think are the best in technological aspects, at least in my opinion. For example: Apocalypse Now is better than Kick-Ass in pretty much every way. So I do acknowledge it's better, but I don't like it more than Kick-Ass. It's a 'favourite' movies list, after all.

Maybe I should check out Shoot 'em Up. Isn't it like Bugs Bunny vs Elmer Fudd only...not? And I've heard it has a (sex) scene very similar to the one in Drive Angry, which is interesting (Drive Angry probably stole it...but I liked the movie, so I don't care).

I loved it actually. It's one of those few films that you will either love or hate though. I think the main reason behind all the hate is that people are becoming lazier and lazier when it comes to watching films. Prometheus brings up a bunch of huge questions - some answered, some not - and it really makes you think about everything going on and I've come down to the conclusion that people simply do not like to think while watching a film anymore. That may make me sound like a douche bag, but I think that it's utterly true.

But aside from that, the CGI is terrific and doesn't look cheap or distracting and I highly regret not seeing it in IMAX 3D. As you can see from my picture, Fassbender was my favorite character and his performance was riveting. He's seriously worth the admission price alone.

I'm in the minority by saying that I enjoyed it slightly more than Alien simply because of the performances and the big questions. It also reminded me a lot of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

So yeah, you'll either love it or hate it. Just don't go into it thinking that it is a direct prequel to Alien because you'll be disappointed. It isn't quite as great as Aliens but is still a fantastic film. That's my two cents.

Cabin in the woods was unexpected and something very different for the horror genre. I went In kinda confused with the plot and I was blown away. The commercials don't give anything away. I would say yes for a blu ray buy. Sept 18 is the release date for America. Awesome movie all around. Much better than Battleship, I promise.

Any movie that prides itself on hyperactive gore worship in the form of self-disembowelment, inexplicably exploding body parts and dogs being kicked into pieces... yeah... that shit is cinematic gold. A dude that has Shoot 'em Up in his Top 5 (a film which I class as astonishingly stupid, but surprisingly, and unfortunately, bland) has to appreciate Riki-Oh and give it its rightful props.

You know, I actually need to get the Bluray and re-rank the film accordingly.

Hey, you might like A Lizard in a Woman's Skin by Lucio Fulci. It's a trippy giallo flick. Not quite on the level of Suspiria, but pretty stylish and weird. You could also try The Grapes of Death by Jean Rollin. It's an odd zombie film. Or Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural.

Sorry for the late response, and yes, I don't like Spaceballs at all. There is only one moment in the movie that made me laugh, the rest of the jokes are so incredibly lame. I bought the Blu-Ray some years ago because I'm a Star Wars fan, and everyone keeps referencing it. It was a blind buy, and it was a mistake. The movie is such an unpleasant mess. They try sooo hard to be funny, but it looks almost pathetic.

Surprisingly, yeah, it got a pretty good run here. We never get to see anything out of the ordinary here (I fucking hate South Carolina), but it played at one of the bigger theaters here.

Hope you enjoy it. A couple of the fight scenes kind of blend together, but there's at least three standouts and the sheer balls-to-the-wallness of it all will probably keep you from leaving disappointed.

But yeah, End of Watch is fantastic. It's definitely one of the most realistic films I've seen. Since I live a little ways from Los Angeles, I've seen some of the neighborhoods and End of Watch captures those communities perfectly. It's the same on the streets as it is in the movie.

Even as a big fan of the original, I'm still skeptical about Kick-Ass 2. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very hyped, but I don't want to be too hyped. There are some signs that the movie could be good (Matthew Vaughn is producing it, Vaughn wrote the screenplay, Vaughn handpicked the director (Jeff Wadlow) himself, the original cast is back), but there are also signs that it could be bad (Jeff Wadlow's movies don't have high ratings (check IMdB and Rottentomatoes) and there are a lot of new superheroes and some of them look REALLY silly. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know how that could work). We'll wait and see.

Hey Shane,

I checked out Sweet Smell of Success, Throne of Blood and Laura recently. I think you'd probably like Laura - it's got a noirish style like a Double Indemnity or Touch of Evil. Sweet Smell of Success is fine, but forgettable. Same for Throne of Blood, although a Kurosawa fan might like it a lot. Laura is definitely the best of the three.

I'm so glad you loved Intouchables you must admit you never expected to laugh as much as you did. Such a great movie makes you enjoy movies and life so much afterwards and yes he is a great actor. I'm listening to skeletons by stevie while I type this. That scene where earth, wind and fire are playing is amazing, I loved the bit where he is shaving his beard into different styles made me laugh so much especially the hitler bit haha. Screw that guy who reviewed it on empire what does he know? What a Piss midget!!!!!
I'm sad to hear that about two little boys but its good to know i will probably wait to watch it on DVD. I can't wait to watch seven psychopaths if you like it then I most definitely will like it. Was it what you thought it would be like story wise?? In bloodlust I think they went to another planet unstated to i've out there lives as vampires. If you get the chance you should try watch ninja scrolls the movie on youtube you will like quite a lot. I really can't quite express my joy for you loving intoucables it feels like I didn't oversell the movie or think it was great just by myself. What else did you watch this weekend??

That's not to say that it wasn't a good film, cause it was, but I'd been hyping the shit out it for several years and it didn't match up to what I expected.

I haven't seen it in about seven to eight years so I really couldn't tell you, lol. It's a Disney straight-to-tv film that's based on the Hollywood Tower of Terror at Disneyland. I didn't add it manually, rather it popped up when I was ranking other films and I said to myself "Oh yeah, I remember Kirsten Dunst was in that one." I don't remember it being that great though. I don't recommend it.

Haha no, I'm not dead yet. But anyways, I've only seen TDKR twice so far (both times in theaters). I don't have the blu-ray yet. I'm planning on getting it soon though, cause like I said I think it's a good movie, it just didn't meet my expectations. I think my main problem with it was that it just wasn't as tight as Nolan's other films.

I most definitely recommend Fear & Desire. It's a great Kubrick film and was the only one that he would disown later on in his career because he was embarrassed by it (fun fact). I'm not sure if it's available at any retail stores for you in Australia, but I managed to watch the film on YouTube. I'm sure you could find it there.

Demons was really awesome, the special effects and soundtrack made it so fun to watch. I love cheesy horror movies from the 80's. I was disappointed with damnation alley though, I expected more mayhem and less stock footage because it seemed more grindhouse from cover and trailer.

Killer's Kiss was great. I'm actually surprised at how much I liked it. It's early Kubrick and it's easy to tell, but it doesn't ultimately change anything. Looking at your list of Kubrick films you've seen, you may or may not be on the fence about it. It's in the noir type of genre, so if that floats your boat, then you might like it.

Reelz on 1/8/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Out of all the Kubrick films I've seen, Killer's Kiss stuck close to the formula of The Killing (and that's not because they both have 'kill' in their names!). Did you like The Killing?

Reelz on 1/8/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Kubrick's my favorite director. All of his work is fucking fantastic. I wrote a paper on him a few months ago during my first English class in college, and I learned a lot about him that I didn't know before. Fear and Desire is another one that surprised me. I liked it more than Killer's Kiss, but doesn't mean that 'Kiss' is bad.

If you REALLY want to complete his filmography (like I am also trying to do), then I would suggest checking out his short films 'The Seafarers', 'Fying Padre', and 'Day of the Fight'. 'Day of the Fight' was his first (short) film and it is excellent; the same goes for the other two. I'm pretty sure that you can find them all on YouTube like I was able to; Fear and Desire included. It appears you haven't seen Lolita either.

The only two films that I have left to check out of his are Barry Lyndon and Eyes Wide Shut. Netflix should be sending them my way very soon. Streaming on Netflix was the only way I was able to view Killer's Kiss, so I'm unsure of how you'll be able to watch it.

'Darkness' popped up when I was ranking movies and I remember saying to myself: "I remember that this was a terrible movie". I haven't seen it since it was released on DVD however long ago, so I couldn't tell you my current consensus of it. My past self tells me that it's pretty trashy though.

Lolita is good. It's probably my least favorite of the feature films from Kubrick, but it's funny and has a lot of hilarious sexual innuendos as well. Peter Sellers is great but isn't as great as he was in Strangelove. Being a Kubrick fan, you'll still like it.

And to add to the conversation up there, I just watched Barry Lyndon and I can safely say that it's my most favorite Kubrick film. It unfolds like a great book, feels like a great epic, and its length (three hours to be exact) never felt like a drag or anything; I was actually hoping that it wouldn't end. I most certainly recommend it.

That sounds like the plot of a great action movie; I'll do it. There's actually a few stores in my neighborhood that are selling the Criterion Collection version of The Killing that comes with Killer's Kiss inside the box for $20. I think that's a damn good deal. But damn, $4 is tough to beat.

Yeah, thanks for the recommendation. That is my third Bogart film so far. The other two were Key Largo and Casablance. Next Bogart film I'll watch will probably be The Maltese Falcon. One of my favourite scenes is when Curtain and Dobbs see that McCormick guy that swindles him. Curtain says "Let's get him" and Dobbs replies "Let's get him hard."

I was surprised when I first heard that Jim Carrey is going to be in it. I've always like him, so that gives me another reason to go see Kick-Ass 2.

If you were to find a donkey over here in California, you would probably be robbed of it anyways. That's just how it goes with donkeys.

I'm going to actually feel depressed that I won't have any new Kubrick films to watch. Since his films are so great, he's basically spoiled me so that all other films seem crappy in comparison. Since he also applies so much hidden imagery and ambiguity to his films, it feels like I'm challenging myself while watching his movies and I'm also thinking about them; I don't feel this with many of the non-Kubrick films I've seen recently.

Oh yeah, and speaking of great deals, one store by me had A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey in the same box for only $4.98. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, so I bought it. I haven't been happier.

I have been thinking of watching some more Kurosawa films, though I think I'll hold them all to being as great as Seven Samurai; I'm not sure if they're that great though.

Oh yeah, I knew it was Trachtenberg. I remember seeing his name in the description of the film on YouTube and I remember him being from TRS (I've only seen a few episodes of it). I read somewhere that he's working on a full length feature film though I'm unsure of what it exactly is.

On another note, I finally finished Kubrick's filmography. Eyes Wide Shut was phenomenal. It's just bittersweet that I have no fresh films of his to watch anymore. Now's the time for me to finish my Kubrick collection! Anyways, here is where his films stand for me:

1. Barry Lyndon
2. The Shining
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. Eyes Wide Shut
5. A Clockwork Orange
6. Full Metal Jacket
7. The Killing
8. Paths of Glory
9. Spartacus
10. Dr. Strangelove
11. Fear and Desire
12. Killer's Kiss
13. Lolita
14. Day of the Fight
15. The Seafarers
16. Flying Padre

This order is sure to change, but this is where they stand for me now.

Valentine and Joseph's relationship was something that really worked for me and kept me interested throughout Red also. When I watch it again it could change, but for now Red is top for me :)

The Last Stand was pretty damn cool. I think everyone (the critics) are going into it expecting it to turn out like the next Citizen Kane of movies or something. It's just plain entertainment, fair and square. It has a story but it's incredibly shallow. Arnold is fuckin' awesome and the rest of the characters are pretty damn cool too. It's a fantastic 'turn-off-your-brain' kind of flick.

At least you have a great reason to keep visiting the theater every week. I have no idea what the hell Silver Linings Playbook is, but it keeps getting nominated for a plethora of awards. I'll try to view it once it hits DVD.

Personally, I really, really hated Flight. Like with A History of Violence, it's one of those films that I don't really understand why I hated it so much. It focuses WAY too much on Denzel's addiction; it feels like they're hitting me over the head with his problems. I'm not sure how it'll turn out for you once you go to see it though; I guess it's just a film that you'll either love or hate.

Compliance was interesting in that "disturbing, but can't stop watching" way, but it ended up feeling kind of hollow. The last ten minutes or so feel rushed and awkward and the film fails to make much of a statement about anything other than the theme of blind compliance that is so obviously pushed throughout. Ann Dowd is great in it, though.

As for The Imposter, I was really looking forward to it, and while the finished product is gripping, I couldn't help but feel that something was off about it. I don't consider this a spoiler because it happens so soon, but they tell you that the kid that was found was an imposter right off the bat (within the first five minutes) and even though I've seen that work with some films, it does nothing but lessen the blow of every revelation that is uncovered throughout the film. It begins to get into the family a little bit, which is intriguing, but that cuts off abruptly. Come to think of it, the whole film ends very quickly. By the time it finished, I thought I had another twenty minutes to go. The film is worth checking out despite all my criticisms, though. It's a thrilling ride.

Silver Linings sounds pretty interesting to me now. I'll have to give it a viewing whenever it's released on DVD since I don't think it'll be showing at any theaters around my neighborhood anytime soon.

I just started reading The Walking Dead comics (I am also a great fan of the show) and the dude in my profile picture is a villain in the comics and a villain in the current season of the show. His name is 'The Governor'. He is an evil, sadistic son of a bitch, but is definitely one of the more fleshed out characters I've ever read about in any piece of literature. I just think he's a pure bad ass all while being completely 'spawn of Satan'-ish.

I remember seeing Universal Soldier: The Return as a kid. At the time I thought it was cool, but now I think it's just a piece of junk that is somehow still entertaining. I've heard some great things about 'Day of Reckoning' though. I'll have to check that one out.

Yeah, I had it different for about 30 seconds. It was a picture of a girl eating noodles that was connected to a picture of Kroeger that made it look like she was eating his hair. I noticed that it was too small to make out anything though, so I changed it back to The Governor.

Cool. It's always fun to go through someone's filmography and discover that you have a new favorite director. Out of his works, I'm most interested in seeing Down by Law.

Fanboyism or trolling...or both. It was okay when it was confined to the Iron Man 2/TDK thread, but they've gone way beyond that now (Judge Dredd vs. Batman Begins? Really?). I wouldn't mind so much if there was actual discussion going on, but it's just repetitive shouting.

I think Christopher Nolan once said that the ending to Inception was meant to be completely ambiguous and, thus, open to the interpretations of the viewer. I'm guessing A Matter of Life and Death was also made to be ambiguous. For me, the story is more interesting if the events are all real (and not in his head), so that what I lean towards.

Brother, I haven't seen an Ingmar Bergman movie yet that hasn't tested my patience.

Boonmee on 2/10/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Yeah. I mean, if you like noir-ish, slick crime thrillers, then you'll like them. I got into this genre of Japanese Noir/yakuza films last year and really enjoyed what I saw. Both films are basically about hired guns who try to get away from a life of crime, but get pulled back into it anyway. A Colt is My Passport in particular has a bit of a spaghetti western feel to it.
Take a listen to the soundtrack:

Hey, don't make fun of me, lol. I think I either have some form of OCD or perfectionism or something; I can never find the true profile picture that fits my page. I guess I can add some variety into this site that way.

I'm not sure what film is closer to the novel, actually. I remember reading in my Kubrick book that it said that he was fond of the book, so I could assume that his version was probably the most accurate of the two. Then again, I'm not sure if the novel only hinted at all of the sexual overtones (Kubrick's version), or like what you said about the remake in that it puts everything up front. Might be a good thing to investigate that.

I saw you had a distaste for a few movies and wondering if they were in anyway connected. I saw you didn't like Requiem for a Dream or Antichrist. Do you lump these movies into the same feel-bad type of movies and you dislike that? Or do you like them for completely unrelated reasons?

randysandwich on 2/13/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Ok, good. I ask because I have showed Requiem to a number of people and a bunch of them think that it is shock horror such as antichrist and limit it to a don't do drugs commercial which really bugs me. I'm a huge defender of it because I think it dares to have an ending that is appropriate to the situation they are in, and a interesting commentary on greed and "good choice vs. easy choice." Not trying to convert you to back it by any means, I just thought I'd let you know why it is high on my list.

I'm in the same boat as you with the torture porn genre. I don't like Hostel (I have seen it, there is still lots of movies I haven't ranked yet) and most Saw movies. I'm not squeamish, and I don't mind gore when its appropriate. Those movies go out of their way to find ways to get as much gore in to them, which sacrifices logic and plot at times. I know the eyeball scene you are referring to, and it didn't bother me, but my weakness is children and animals. I can't stomach when things happen to them, and that is why I too have sworn off Serbian Film because just reading about it on Wiki I found something I could never handle seeing. I think there is also a baby scene in Antichrist, which is why I haven't seen that.

Anyway, sorry to get long winded. In terms of little known movies, I recently saw Eagle vs. Shark which was pretty good. It certainly didn't blow me away, but you've seen so many movies I think it would be impossible to find one that would blow you away. Its got the guy from Flight of the Concords in it , and I found it interesting because its a comedy without a straight in it, every character is just very weird. Also if you are into documentaries I'd give Project Nim a shot, it focuses a lot on where does being human start and end.

randysandwich on 2/13/2013 Reply  ·  Like  ·  (1 like)

Yes I too like gore, just when its makes sense plot wise, I encourage it. If you are in a sword fight and you cut someones head off, that's fine. That's what happens in sword fights. Zombies biting a neck off, that's what Zombies do.

I'll have to check those two out. I've seen a ton of old horror and monster movies, 50s-70s and haven't gotten nearly all of them on my chart. I've had to work my way though a lot of garbage to find a few gems, and the bottom of my list reflects that. I have found plenty of hilarious camp which is always fun too, but it's definitely nice to have recommendations of legit horror flicks.

Hopefully you like Eagle vs. Shark. I haven't recommended it to anyone before because it is an awkward indy rom-com, so I can see how most people wouldn't like it, but our lists for comedy are pretty close so I hope you enjoy it.

Another movie question for you (I live in a culture deprived area, so hope you don't mind me looking for answers) I'm a big Tom Hardy fan, and it looks like you are a big Mad Max fan. I've never seen them, but without a doubt I'm seeing the new one, but I'm always weary of actors replacing roles. As a fan, what are you're thoughts, and should I have a Mad Max marathon prior to seeing the new one?

Man I love Bronson! I have it 41 on my list. I would be shocked if he didn't do the accent, too. I mean hes changed his accent perfectly for Warrior and Lawless, tweaked it to perfectly match Michael Peterson's in Bronson, and created Bane's, so I have full confidence he could pull off an Aussie accent.

I live in the mountains of the US, probably the most secluded area of the US. They made a movie about how secluded it is here, "Did you hear about the Morgans" with SJP and Hugh Grant. If you haven't seen it, I wouldn't recommend it, it wasn't good, but it's sad that one of the only two movies set in your state is about how boring and uncivilized it is. The other movie is Close Encounters, but that really had more to do with landscape than it being a cool place to live.

Thanks, man! It's supposed to be a cat dressed up like the main character from the television show Breaking Bad (if you didn't know). But don't worry, it'll probably change again tonight! ;)

A Good Day to Die Hard was a film that was so incredibly bad that it was actually pretty damn good. I saw it with four of my friends and we were laughing the entire way through. There are times when the action is so terribly over-the-top that it becomes laughable and is easy to make fun of. As an example, John McClane manages to make a Range Rover sized car grind (like a skateboard) across a divider on a freeway. Since that part was so hilariously bad, my friend and I decided that a game should be made called 'John McClane's Pro Skater 2' but instead of skateboards, there are Range Rovers.

So yes, A Good Day to Die Hard is bad, but if you see it with a bunch of people, it's a great film to laugh it and make fun of its absurdity. Just don't go into it expecting something like Citizen Kane like all of the critics are expecting it to be. It's a "turn off your brain" kind of film.

He makes some really interesting and even entertaining documentaries, most of which have to do with crime, social disorders, addictions and (extreme) religion. You can find most of them on YouTube. The ones I recommend the most are:

- The Most Hated Family in America and (the sequel,) America's Most Hated Family in Crisis. (about the infamous Westboro Baptist Church)

- Behind Bars (about the San Quentin prison, one of the most notorious prisons in America)

- Louis, Martin and Michael. (Louis tries to get an interview with Michael Jackson.)

- Gambling in Las Vegas.

Robot & Frank was just one of those movies that are pleasant enough, but forgettable. I was intrigued by the concept initially and I like Frank Langella, but the characters were underdeveloped and some of the relationships were cliched. I'd liken it to something like Jeff, Who Lives at Home- a film that I thought was a little better, but similar in the way that it was a nice diversion, but not all that special. I didn't dislike Robot & Frank, though. You have to understand that I haven't seen a lot of bad movies, so even if a film is in the 900's it can still be okay (It's not until you reach the 1000's that it starts to get bad!).

And on Bottle Rocket, it was a disappointment. It started off well. I was really digging the first 15-20 minutes, but the movie hit a wall when they stopped at the motel, and it never recovered after that (It's editing was confused and the plot went nowhere). Wes Anderson is all over the map for me. I disliked Bottle Rocket and to a lesser extent, Life Aquatic, but I liked The Royal Tenenbaums and Fantastic Mr. Fox and loved Moonrise Kingdom.

I've heard that The Shield is on par with The Wire. I don't want to watch The Shield in fear of it topping The Wire as my favorite show, lol. I will try watching it sometime in the near future, I hope, to see what all the fuss is about.

Eve's Bayou was pretty good. I had watched it in my Film class at my college last week and I thought it dragged on in some areas. The narrative was also all over the place and a lot of plotlines were left unresolved. Aside from those problems, it was actually pretty good. Samuel L. Jackson is in it and I've come down to the conclusion that he's probably by favorite actor; he's great in everything. So, really, Eve's Bayou has some great acting and some interesting scenes but drags a bit and has a confusing narrative. If it still sounds interesting to you, then I recommend it. If not, then you're really not missing much.

Top 50/100/200 and anything outside that doesn't really matter what order it's in? I just ask because I don't think mine's is really that accurate at all, my top 50 may be solid enough for me, but there are days where I could probably rearrange a lot of films, even some in my top 50 lol

I'm going to have to take a proper look at mine some day, and sort it out lol yeah, I've started doing that too, noticing films that should be higher up when I'm ranking a new film. I saw The Birds was at 60 on my chart, don't know how it ended up that high, I really like it, but it shouldn't have been that high. Well that sounds like it could be a lot of fun lol Thanks for the recommendation, I'll get around to watching it, Vampire's Kiss is first on my list for them kinda films :) I've got a few films that are pretty terrible too, but can't help loving. Ready to Rumble is one of them, I know it'd be considered terrible by most people, I can't help but love it though lol Yeah I saw the comments on your page were pretty messed up, seems alright now though, opened a new tab and they seem to be back to normal :)

All Good Things is ok, but nothing special. Worth watching for Gosling in particular, and Dunst(they have no chemistry together though!), but don't go out of your way to see it. Have you seen Gosling in Half Nelson? That's way better.

Trust was good, unsettling but good. Liana Liberato and Clive Owen give really good performances in it. Sometimes it felt a bit like a 'made for TV' movie though, if that makes sense. I saw it about 18 months ago, but it only just popped up on my ranking screen.

Looks like you enjoyed Lincoln! I am sometimes surprised by what movies do well overseas, like I was surprised other cultures cared that much about US history (or maybe they care more for Speilberg and DDL). I've been told the Lincoln story to death and wasn't excited about seeing it in movie form until I found out the cast and crew. My main hesitation about it is that I hope it doesn't get presented like "look how great America is because of this man" when it really should be "look how bad America was until someone with sense came along."

I got round to watching The Virgin Spring, thought it was great! You seem to have been checking out Bergman movies lately, how are you finding him? I've really liked most of what I've seen from him so far. Persona was the only one I don't know if I liked or not. I've seen it get compared to Mulholland Dr., which I love, so I was a little disappointed when it didn't really keep me interested the way some other surreal-ish films have. It may need a re-watch though, I've changed my mind many times on films after seeing them a second time.

The bit where he screams 'FAAAAAAAACCCKK' in the bar is still the funniest for me(and I noticed there's a man in the background wearing a T-shirt with 'fuck' on it which made it even funnier) :D

Yeah, comedy is very subjective, I get why some wouldn't really be much fans of Chaplin. I have to say though, I've only seen two of his films, but I really loved both! Heard a lot about The Kid, that'll probably be my next Chaplin film.

Sweet, glad to see you loved Sunset Blvd too! The Apartment and Double Indemnity are up next on my Wilder watch list! I'll check out those other ones you mentioned too! I watched half of Some Like it Hot, didn't really seem like my kind of comedy either, I have a horrible habit of watching films very late at night, if it isn't entertaining me I find myself turning it off, but I try to give them a fair chance. I watched The Raid very late at night, no chance was that being turned off, it was like an adrenaline rush, I was wide eyed by the time it was over lol But yeah, I'll watch the rest of Some Like it Hot some time over the weekend, give it a fair shake, just wasn't really doing it for me first time round.

Well I ranked this movie 3 times to make sure it was that bad. First off, when I started watching it I confused it with Drag Me to Hell. Secondly, it is supposed to be a documentary, but half way through it switches to found footage style, then it becomes a mess and switches back and forth between them. The lead actress is terrible. Nothing is scary or shocking. As meaningless as the entire movie is, the ending makes the entire movie even worse. Possibly the worst ending ever. It isn't boring like most the movies at the bottom of my list, but it was the biggest mess of a movie I've ever seen. Then again I haven't seen any Paris Hilton movies...

I miss those old cartoons, although I was partial to Looney Tunes over Disney. I do agree though, Donald is by far the best out of the Disney bunch, kind of the "why is it always me?" character.

I just watched Rabbit Proof Fence too! I do think, though, I need to watch a documentary on it or do some reading for me to get the full effect of the situation, I was left wanting to know more. With no knowledge of the situation going into it, I had no idea why they would even consider taking them, but when they broke it down a bit during the slide show scene I saw why they'd take them, but don't really comprehend why it was done (I guess the same way its hard to comprehend treatment of Native Americans). Incredible story, though. I do have to say I should never complain about my area of the world being isolated. Western Australia wins that category hands down!

I heard Nolan might be DC's comic book guy all together, too. It actually would make me upset if they both did a justice league movie. They've made a Batman universe completely devoid of super powers and everything has a sense of realism to it, they'd completely destroy everything they've built to do the justice league. It would also tarnish the near perfect ending they gave it. That being said, I do have faith both Nolan and Bale wouldn't commit to something they didn't have complete faith in, neither do anything just for a paycheck. Personally I think DC works far better separate, I'd rather see Jason Gordon Levitt become Nightwing than the Justice League.

Not technically, Nightwing wasn't in Justice League, but Nightwing became Batman though. I'm just saying if they are going to expand on the series I think they should do a solo Nightwing movie instead of doing a Justice League movie. I actually like Nightwing more than Batman in the comics. The way I heard he collaboration happens (which of course at this point everyone is just speculating on rumors) is that Superman is going to find Bruce and tell him he's "starting a team." Which doesn't work for me at all, that is how campy B movies start and that is not what the series worked so hard to move away from. I've read a ton of the Batman/Superman crossover comics, and I enjoyed them, but Nolan's movies isn't the comic version of Batman, it's 100% Nolan's Batman, and that's why I can't see it working.

Then again, I thought casting Ledger was a huge mistake... and Hathaway... so what do I know :)

Only three cinemas?! That's awful, especially seeing as Hemsworth was starring in it, like you said.
I saw one trailer on TV, and that was enough for me, I didn't seek out any more information.
Poor you, having to watch Adam Sandler instead(I love Happy Gilmore, but lately he really sucks.), no wonder you were pissed off!

I think trailers give away too much these days, like the Dark Knight Rises - I felt deprived of the 'wow' moment in the cinema during the football pitch scene, because I'd already seen it in the trailer. If that had been a surprise, the whole experience would have been perfect. I felt SO exhilirated coming out of the cinema that night!

Yeah, I've seen a few horrors but I don't really like seeing melty faces and nasty gory stuff. I will always give different movies a chance though, never like to rule anything out.
How about you, I've seen some horror on your list, is it a favourite genre of yours?

Hey, got round to watching Double Indemnity, really liked it. Didn't enjoy it as much as Sunset Blvd or The Apartment, but I still really enjoyed it. I'll try and get Vampire's Kiss and Treasure of the Sierra Madre watched soon too, and let give you my thoughts!

There are two channels that have it uploaded, hopefully the other one works for you. One has it uploaded in 10 parts, the other has it uploaded in 8.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind then, thanks!

Ah, fuck. Sorry, I should have checked before telling you it was on youtube, just checked the first part and it worked fine, so I assumed the rest worked fine too. Hopefully you come by it on tv some night or something lol

Have you seen any good movies lately? I just watched Capote which was pretty good.

I have ADHD. Me and regular books don't agree, but I have tried a number of times and can't do it. The pictures in comics invite me right in, though. I haven't really read one in a year, though, last one I read was Game of Thrones.

Believe it or not, I don't like super heroes. I've read a bunch of comics, but for all the crazy stuff you mentioned, it's just too out there for me. Even Batman comics get loopy, and he technically isn't a superhero. That's why I never read a bunch of Marvel, and Marvel movies aren't rated that high on my charts.

I enjoyed Perks of Being a Wallflower, it was really well done, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller in particular were fantastic in it.
I was worried that Ezra Miller would distract me, I was so disturbed watching him in We Need To Talk About Kevin! Haha. But I didn't even think about that, he was so good.

Hey, I don't mind you leaving multiple comments at all, it's cool :)

I know exactly what you mean about movies that are 'too happy' lol, the really twee films tend to put me off as well.
'Mental scars' is a good term to describe how some horror imagery can have an effect.

I haven't seen The Castle but have heard of it, sounds like something I'd enjoy, I get Aussie humour(although couldn't get into Kath & Kim when it was shown on the BBC), and love Muriel's Wedding and Strictly Ballroom.

I like lots of different comedy, from surreal to slapstick. Haven't heard of Lano & Woodley though. The oldest comedy I like best is probably Laurel & Hardy. Can't stand Mr Bean, but I laugh myself silly at Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder.

Almost rented The Guard a few weeks ago :) I will see it soon, and Perrier's Bounty will go on my watch list as well, thanks!

Have you seen The Dish? That popped up while I was looking for The Castle, it's directed by the same guy, I wanted to see it ages ago but forgot all about it, will add that to my rental queue as well.

Ya, that's why I don't do medication, my class mates who used Ritalin became zombies. I am quiet too, but you'd be able to tell I have it because I'm constantly figiting or moving around.

Here's my beef with watching old movies: new movies always borrow and steal from the old, classic stuff, so when I get a chance to see the classics, they seem unoriginal, even though they ARE the original (Blade Runner as an example, everything has been recycled in that movie, from the Matrix to Terminator, so when I watched it I wasn't impressed, and that disappointed me). Point and case was the final scene in Mad Max. As soon as he picked up the hacksaw, I could see it coming. Another movie had ruined the thrill for me entirely, and that upset me. Had I seen Mad Max first, I would have be loving the scene.

I think it climaxed a little late for my likings, but it works as a good origin story, and that just gets me excited to watch The Road Warrior.

Just kidding, Mad Max 2.

Wow you're tall! It was an amazing guess.

By the way, I've got Shoot Em Up and am going to watch it this week, it was going to be tonight but I'm really tired and don't think it's the best movie to watch with tired eyes!

Ya, its really something I need to get over, I'm only cheating myself out of entertainment.

It seems like a no-brainer action thriller, which I tend to enjoy. I would much rather watch a guns and action movie or a thriller over a chick-flick anyday.

But If I don't like it, I promise I won't hold you responsible, lol.

Yeah, although the trailer is pretty awesome, it's spoiler heavy. You can easily predict what will happen in the movie, and especially if have you read the comics like me.

Yep. Not much else to say about her, but she did kick some ass. Jim Carrey was defnitely the best part of the trailer, I think he'll be awesome in the movie.

Haha thanks. Girls/women are supposed to love The Notebook aren't they, but I don't.

I haven’t seen many noir films; I'll keep an eye out for that one. I honestly enjoyed the burning more than Friday the 13th. The kills are better. I think Capote is worth taking a look at. Philip Seymour Hoffman’s acting was terrific. My Left foot sounds familiar, haven’t seen but I think it’s on Netflix. Dredd got pasted me, couple of my friends enjoyed it and said it has elements from The Raid and Die Hard.

Hey, I just read you are 6 foot 7... I too am 6 foot 7... Based upon this, what is more annoying? A. Finding pants that fit B. Traveling C. People looking at you like an oddity, then asking "Wow, how tall ARE you?" or D. People looking at you like an oddity and asking "Did you/Do you play basketball?"
