Best films ever are hard to choose. I really liked Big Fish, Spirited Away, LXG and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I don't really have any favorite.
But the worst movie ever created is without doubt Evil Dead. Seriously, she got raped by trees. What do they have to gain from that?

Yes. Tsk, tsk. He should really learn how to cover up the fact that he hasn't directed anything, more sort of 'told' people what to do and then pay for it. I just hate it how people give him so much credit.

Umm... I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

:

Yeah, wasn't the knee slappinng thing just grand? They should've dragged it out longer, it was bloody hilarious. Just the ending was terrible. Terrible, just not funny.

The ending was brilliant!
Did you not see the rock?!!!
The rock was the best thing ever!
No actually, the David Hasselhoff (sp?) part was.

PS: My brother purchased the Pulp Fiction DVD a while back. And I haven't watched the movie yet. Does that make me a bad person?

No, not really. It's rather over-rated to tell you the absolute truth, with the exception of the Christopher Walken gold-watch-arse monologue which is probably the greatest performance I've seen in any film ever.

I'm not saying its a bad movie, merely not as good as I was led to beleive.

cherie 02-09-2005 04:33 PM

worst movie hands down for me? house of the dead. i'm glad it was my dad who rented it and not me.

nightmare before christmas

jurassic park

grave of fireflies

Yeah, the rock, ROCKED! David Hasselhoff sucked, and so did the musical number. It was just so, so forced.

Another awesome one is GATTACA. Very moving. Excellent style. I watched the entire movie before figuring out that the title is a DNA sequence. It makes sense when you watch the movie. This guy in a near future where people are selected before birth based on genetic predispositions, played by Ethan Hawke, takes the identity of a genetically perfect yet physically crippled man, played by Jude Law, in order to secure himself a position on a mission to Titan, one of the moons of Jupiter, and overcome his physical shortcomings in a world where one's place in society is determined by one's heredity.

Awesome movie.

GTdragon 02-14-2005 06:48 PM

Worst movie
 
The most worst movie to ever EXIST is Dark Harvest....no wonder they were ivin' it away for free :fuzemb:

TheRaisin 02-14-2005 07:46 PM

What's Dark Harvest?

Funny, I never noticed that. I feel really stupid considering I learned about that stuff in school a few years ago. I agree, it was very good, underated in my opinion.

TheRaisin 02-15-2005 06:44 PM

Yeah, I never heard anything about it until it showed up unannounced on HBO. I watched it and was like, "What is this excellent movie and why have I not heard about it?!".

No it isn't. It's Ethan Hawke's character cutting his nails and hair and exfoliating so that no random peice of DNA can be picked up and used against him.

Havoc 02-16-2005 07:33 PM

*Does a HALO jump (no not Halo the game, stupid gaming geeks, the military jump!) and drops into the topic days after date.*

Hello ppl how are things here!

Anyway, worst movie ever made in my opinion is Sabretooth. Its the first movie that comes to my mind when I think of bad movies so it must be the worst I can remember.
The story is about a sabretooth tiger that is brought back to life by DNA experiments. So I thought: TIGER! FUN!
Unfortunatly, my bad :(.
Story: Sucks
Acting: Sucks
Deaths: Sucks
Computer Graphics: OH DAMN MY EYE'S!!! :fuzcool: There...

Best movie I ever seen, next to my known fandom for The Lion King, is *dum dum* Two Brothers! (I'm going to slap you if you didn't see that coming :P)
Do I need to explain? :D

Yes.
What's 'Two Brothers'?

Leeum 02-17-2005 03:49 AM

Best film: Band of Brothers probably
Worst: The Village (no flaming, i did understand it. It plain sucked :p)

The Marching Mudokon 02-17-2005 03:52 AM

Best film: Alien
I know what you mean about the Village, Leeum, it made no sense to me either.
Edit: Yay 200th post!

Havoc 02-17-2005 04:09 AM

:

Yes.
What's 'Two Brothers'?

Its a movie about two tiger cubs who get seperated from each other and meet each other years later. One cub ended up in a circus and the other at a loving little boy and later in a fighting group.
For everyone's amusement he needs to fight another tiger which then turns out to be his brother.
Its a realy cool movie :D

marc_penny88 02-17-2005 10:29 AM

i would have to say the best movie ever ever EVER, is "the shawshank redemption". people may call it rubbish because its got no action and stuff like that but it is amazing.

and the worst film ever made was "day of the triffids" cos it was a crap story line and a crap movie lol

Nate 02-17-2005 05:38 PM

Nah, Shawshank was a bloody great film. We've not all had our sense of taste and dignity surgically removed just yet.

sligster 02-17-2005 05:53 PM

I loved Aliens. The first one was good, but the second and fourth ones sucked. I also loved the first predator. Second one sucked, tho.

If you didn't see it coming, I also loved Alien vs. Predator. People say it was too short, others say the acting was bad. Other say the story was bad. But the movie delivered. The movie is called alien vs predator, and thats exactly what you get. Aliens and Predators duking it out. The new predator face (with the ****ed up mouth) really disappointed me, as did there being no size difference between the predator tusks, though. The battle with the Queen at the end was perfect, though.

As for the worst movie.... blegh, too many to list....

TheRaisin 02-17-2005 08:41 PM

Nate, if that's all you got out of GATTACA... damn, dude, you missed every theme that made the movie meaningful. *thinks for a moment, adds:* In my opinion. Because you have your own opinion. And I'm not trying to start any arguments. But seriously. Seriously, guy.

Havoc, we get it. You like tigers. :p

The Village made perfect sense. But that didn't make it not suck. When I hear the name M. Night Shyamalan and see previews showing tall scary creatures in red robes, I think, "Creepy awesome creepy cool awesome cool movie that I MUST SEE!". And I watched The Village. And it was creepy for a while. And it didn't go anywhere. And you can so see where it's leading you. And you spend the rest of the movie thinking, "Gotta be a twist, gotta be something I'm missing here, no way it's gonna end like this" and it DOES! I wanted to see a creepy, awesome, Shyamalanesque movie. Instead I watched a frigging chick flick. If I ever want to see a chick flick, I'll go see one. But I do NOT go to an M. Night Shyamalan film and expect to see a chick flick. And that's what I saw. In my opinion.

I watched about ten minutes of The Shawshank Redemption. It seemed extremely promising and I wanted to watch it. Then my TV quit on me. Channels 600-622 are very tentative, and they picked this moment to black out. So I still have yet to see it. Sigh.

Wil 02-18-2005 07:25 AM

I thought I'd already registered my opinion here, but oh well. The worst film ever, IMO, is goddamn Thunderbirds, goddamn it. I've never seen such tripe, ever. I left after 20 minutes. God knows why I stayed that long. Garbage. Trash. Die!

I don't know about the best film, but my favourite is still Amélie. It has more humour, character and heart than any other film I've seen, and it's simply beautiful from start to finish. Take my advice and heed the warnings of Jean-Pierre Jeunet: don't listen to the audio commentary.

thatbluebastard 02-20-2005 02:43 AM

yeah, i'm a pretty big fan of audrey tattou.


have you seen city of lost children? ron perlman in his early career.



i'm really not too quick to label a movie the best or worst movie ever.


some i think are really good are gozu, the big lebowski, seven samurai, the good, the bad, and the ugly, the wild bunch, and maria full of grace.


i definitely think there's a shitton of overrated movies with the pseudo-intellectual crowd. see also donnie darko, napoleon dynamite, garden state

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 10:52 AM

Whoa now. Napoleon Dynamite was a great movie . . .

So many people diss on this movie, and I don't know why. It was hilarious. Maybe the problem is that people were looking for a point to it and didn't find one. That's their problem. I could tell from the previews that it wasn't going to have a point, and it didn't, but it really was funny.

thatbluebastard 02-20-2005 02:51 PM

no, i think it was great. i saw it twice when it came out.



it's just getting really huge hype and it doesn't really deserve it.

No, I liked the movie, though not as much as you, I'm betting. I was just correcting one detail about the really cool opening scene.

TheRaisin 02-20-2005 09:06 PM

Oh. I gotcha now. Misunderstanding.

No, I was saying that the title of the movie, GATTACA, is, in fact, a DNA sequence. Not the opening sequence, the title. See?

Yeah, TBB, it is extremely overhyped. I agree.

but what is it's corresponding DNA sequence?





dun dun dun!

TheRaisin 02-21-2005 11:15 AM

First you tell me what's the airspeed of an unladen African swallow, then we'll talk.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is another classic. I know everyone and their grandma says that, but it's true.

yeah, life of brian is twenty times better.




because i'm sick of hearing holy grail quotes. they seriously get old when you're in a programming class with super awesome kids for a year.





the only movie that does not get old when quoted is the big lebowski.

Nate 02-21-2005 05:56 PM

What about Spaceballs? I must have seen that like fifty times.

Majic 02-21-2005 09:23 PM

Forget being tired of "Holy Grail" quotes.

The next time I hear somebody attempting a Napoleon impression, violence shall be initiated.

Leto 02-21-2005 11:40 PM

I forgot another one: Fight Club, Fight Club! Another title added to the evergrowing list of mah favourite movies...

TheRaisin 02-22-2005 12:26 PM

A frickin' twelve gauge, what do you think?!

Fight Club was pretty cool. I wish I hadn't seen it on TBS though. They probably added about an hour's worth of commercials and undoubtedly cut out some stuff because they're basic cable PANSIES.

Jacob 02-22-2005 01:01 PM

Just saw 'Saw'.

T'as to be said i thought it would've been better than what it was, but it was still good. The deaths were amazingly imaginative and the storyline mediocre.

Not enough of Jigsaw though, which i was disappointed about. Thought there'd be more of him.

And the ending's thooperlicious!

Saw was funny.



it was good at first. the ending is hilarious.




it was one of those 'you thought it was this guy? what a ****in' idiot!' kind of endings.

Don't you hate those kinds of channels? Let us see... Did they cut out every bit of gore in the movie? And Fight Club is best the first time you watch it, because of its ending. Best, ending, evar.

The Marching Mudokon 02-23-2005 01:36 AM

I always wanted to watch Fight Club but I haven't gotten around to it, same with Apocalypse Now. Another of my favourite movies is Starship Troopers. I hated One Hour Photo!

TheRaisin 02-23-2005 03:56 PM

One Hour Photo rocked. Except that it was a bit too sick for my liking.

Starship Troopers was good for:

A) Sci-fi actiony gorey giant bug outer space shoot-em-up gorey action! One of the best movies of the sci-fi action gore genre I've ever seen, if not the best.
B) A sardonic, twisted, and hilariously funny sattirical take on warfare. Oh my god, when I first realized that Starship Troopers was a sattire, I couldn't stop laughing, because suddenly I could remember every over-the-top thing in that movie. Like, the commercial that says "Do your part!" and shows a bunch of little kids stomping cockroaches and the teacher cheering them on, or the one where there are these soldiers talking to a group of kids and they're all letting them hold these horribly powerful automatic weapons and stuff and it's like "Aw, isn't that cute?". Great sattire.

I saw some of Apocalypse Now, but it's always on at like eight o' clock at night on that classic movie channel and they have a zillion hours of commercials so I can't stay up late enough to watch it (long movie by itself).

SeaRex 02-23-2005 05:38 PM

I love Apocalypse Now.

Overrated, like most things that are good, but an interesting movie none the less.

Too bad I got the "Redux" version. God. About 45 extra minutes of pointless. I mean, the could have at least made the extra scenes optional.

you should read the book Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.


i liked the movie, for its camp factor, but the book is witty, philosophical, and intelligent.


it's also an allegory for the Japanese and American struggle during the Pacific Theater in World War II.

brilliant.
