Best Film Of All Time

[Ernest]

I like scarface its a fuckin awesome film, pulp fiction's good too, fear and loathing in las vegas is good for a laugh if anyones seen it?

Edit: oh an i forgot being john malkovich, oh and Goodfellas i thought that was a pretty good film.

 

[mattmagoo]

I finally got round to watching Kill Bill for the 2nd time

and i remember why it's been so long



its just not a good movie

it's boring and surprisingly enuff, not everyone is interested in pure violence, people watched RD and PF because they were cleverly written not becuase of excessive violence

 

[Rico]

Scarface IS ridiculously good in the violent scenes, but the pace is a little slow.

I watched Donnie Darko yesterday ... not the best film, definately overrated, however it was enjoyable and not that complicated! If anyone has any Qs about the plot I should be able to answer them.

Has anybody seen The City of Lost Children, by the same guys who made Amelie? It's worth watching! Weird French stuff.

Whoa, that's a wierd coincidence. I was just trying to find that on DVD but only Amazon seems to have it at a stupidly high price... Ron Perlman = god

How is this unreasonable?

Compared to DVDs of films like Wild Strawberries, this is positively a bargain!

Yes, I too am a little annoyed at the prices of some of these DVDs. <_<

TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!

 

[scarface]

My all time favorite is brave heart

runners up are scarface, Godfather 1 and 2,Casino,Blow,pirates of the caribbean, and pulp fiction.

[Aaaaaaaa]

I thought the film "Deleted User's nice, good film" was a good one

Ooh, look! You can get Wild Strawberries with Autumn Sonata for only $112!

 

[Skop]

ok, answer me this.

In Donnie Darko it said you can go back in time if you go faster than light.

Neither the plane engine (or donnie driving into the tornado) went faster than light, for Donnie and the engine to go back before his girlfriend dies.

So how come they did? I know tornado's spin fast but this is ridiculous. :blink:

Also was Frank the spirit of the dead guy Donnie would kill in the future?

There's a fair few sites dedicated to explaining donnie darko that explain a lot. Like you can read the book written by grandma death. That explains loads.

Frank is the manipulated dead. A ghost from the future sent to make sure that Donnie stays on the right path to fix things. There are a lot of manipulated living also. Have a google, you'll understand the film much more.

The shrek series. 1 was better than 2 though.

Hey, the DVD of Stalker is $64, down from a list price of $80! A real bargain! (It's a great movie, true, but still...)

 

[Boil'em'Mash'emStick]

I personally like:
The Back to the Future Trilogy
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
The Ninth Gate
The Magnificent Butcher
Pirates of the Carribean
LOTR trilogy
Fist of Fury
Wayne's World 1 and 2-Shwing! B)
The Shawshank Redemption- Its been done, but i gotta say it
Excalibur- Better than LOTR imo
The Matrix Trilogy- Think of Reloaded and Revolutions as one film and it seems better...... sort of <_<
The Ring- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK (creamed my pants)

I don't believe there is a definite explanation for Donnie Darko that's why I like it so much, everyone has their own theory.

That book by granma death is on the DVD but I haven't bothered to read it yet...

 

[Esn]

I don't believe there is a definite explanation for Donnie Darko ...

...and that's precisely why I don't like it (ok, it's one of the reasons). It seems to me that some people only like it because it "messes with their heads".

However, I looked past the weirdness and into the points that the movie was trying to make and I found them to be stupid and completely unapplicable to the real world. I mean, we're supposed to think that Donnie Darko is smart because he asks the teacher about time travel, and how you could go back in time if you went faster than light?? High-school-level rubbish! I'm supposed to take this seriously?! Darko is no hero, he's just some disturbed high-school kid who thinks that he's right in everything, and (most frustrating of all) the director apparently agreed and made a movie that praised his uninformed leaps of logic and justified them. Maybe the movie is enjoyable for those folks who are superstitious and think that facts are really just opinions. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

I prefer that a movie has metaphors that mean something in the real world, which is why Solaris (1972) is probably my favourite movie.

That, and they got JRR Tolkien's quote wrong (you know, the "cellar door" one; he was the "great linguist" that the teacher in the school talked about)!

[spray]

I saw the ninth gate last night, thought it was bloody good, could of had a bit more of a conclusive ending though but i spose it makes you think a bit about what the ninth gate actually is also those whove watched didnt you find it strange how his initials were J.C (i.e jesus christ) and he was obviously the guy who was supposed to go through the ninth gate in the end, maybe it has some sort of connection or not, oh well good film anyway.
