Alright, we have one of these for bad movies, so why not one for good movies? What would you guys say are some of the greatest movies ever made? Drama: Pulp Fiction The Shawshank Redemption The Godfather Fight Club Apocalypse Now Full Metal Jacket Goodfellas Scarface Heat Action and Sci-Fi: Terminator 2 Judgement Day Aliens The Matrix Total Recall Blade Runner Star Wars Trilogy (original, not the crapass prequels) Leon the Professional Die Hard Sin City Comedy: Ghostbusters Little Miss Sunshine Shaun of the Dead Groundhog Day Horror: Alien The Shining The Thing Dawn of the Dead The Exorcist
I never felt the same about Battle Royale as most people seemed to have felt. It was an edgy subject, but the movie seemed somewhat shallow. I didn't really feel much for the characters and even chuckled during the scene where the girls went ballistic on each other.
Battle Royale was alright I guess. The whole thing just seemed to be for shock value and felt kind of shallow.
I don't think anyone was supposed to take that film seriously. I watched it expecting ultra violence and it delivered, shame it got bogged down with a plot... ish. I love the way Hwoarang was the leader of the kids in BR2 lol. There aren't really that many films that I can be bothered to watch over and over again. Here's some of my favourite films that I LOVE watching. Jurassic Park The Dark Knight Aliens Predator Commando Tenacious D and the pick of destiny Scarface Pulp Fiction Kill Bill 1 + 2 Ghostbusters 1 + 2 Total Recall Who Framed Roger Rabbit? FTW The Matrix 1 + 2 The Green Mile Castaway Finding Nemo The Incredibles Wall-E I'll add more as I remember them.
Scarface never gets old. It's one of those movies you can watch pretty much endlessly. Pacino's performance is ridiculously over the top, but it's over the top in a good way. Pulp Fiction also never loses its charm.
I only saw scarfsace for the first time in 2007 and I loved it, it was epic. It starts to drag a little after a while but not so much that it detracts from the sheer awesomeness of the film. The chainsaw scene is one of my favourite scenes ever. The film is legendary for a reason.
He has it throughout the films, I think you first see it during the mines of Moria, cant remember if he uses it there but he definitely whips it out in Return of the King.
I never got on with Scarface when I saw it. Seemed to go on forever. I normally like gangster films too and had high expectations of it.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I thought Scarface had pretty relentless pacing compared to most gangster flicks I've seen. If anything it might be a bit overedited. Speaking of Scarface, something I'm still not quite clear on even after seeing the movie so many times, did Tony have incestuous feelings towards his sister, or was he just overprotective? They leave it pretty ambiguous. Almost every time he looks at her it's in a creepy way, and there's horror movie music playing, so I'm guessing incest.
I think the version I saw was a special edition; think it was around 3 hours (or seemed it). I don't remember much about his sister in it; it was about 7 years ago when I saw it.
I'm not sure what the differences are between the special edition and the regular version. They may have added too much back in and screwed up the pacing. The movie is a bit slow in the early parts, but it picks up a lot.
I watched Dark Krystal and Goonies over and over again... my parents wouldn't let me watch the R stuff and I never really took to them now either. Willow and Mad Max probably passed too, I remember my sister watching Labrynth a lot. Anything with puppets, my parents would leave these lying around a lot so we'd watch em. Short Circuit was a big one too... Really enjoyed Godfather when I saw it though. Oceans is always fun, it's not as much of a thinker as the Bourne (BOREn) movies.
I don't get why people like the Goonies so much. Even as a kid, it just seemed like a stupid little kids' movie. But then again I grew up on Arnold Schwarzenegger action flicks like Commando. I never liked childrens' stuff.
It's a childrens film about adventure and discovery, every kid can relate to that, especially boys. You just don't like much things Monk, your turning into an old grumpy man.
