What's the worst/best movie ever done? -

***Wil*** · #61 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 · #62 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 · #63 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 · #64 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.

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.

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 · #66 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!

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*** · #70 02-21-2005, 05:56 PM

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

Majic · #71 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 · #72 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 · #73 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 · #74 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 · #77 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 · #78 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 · #79 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.

What is this Napoleon something movie about anyway? Everyone on the internet always talks about how everyone quotes it, but they are the only people I've ever heard talk about.
I've never heard of it outside of the internet, so I have to wonder if we even have it here yet.

it's a movie about a bunch of oddballs in Idaho in which nothing really happens.

it's all deadpan humor and it's pretty funny...

that is until everyone quoting it runs it into the ground.

What's Dark Harvest?

Wow.....it really does suck O.o

Well, It's a movie that people actually thought would be good, but bombeds anyway...a cheap latex-like movie....in one word it's a "bleh". that's how horrible it is.

***Nate*** · #84 02-24-2005, 06:46 PM

I haven't even seen the Alone in the Dark movie yet but I'm prepared to say it's crap based on this hilarious review:

The book by Robert A. Heinlein is a great novel. The bugs are not in it as much as you think but it's a great sci-fi military book.

yeah, well, in the book, they fit a metaphor.

i did, however, like their design in the movie.

Fuzzleman54321 · #87 02-25-2005, 03:19 PM

The best film i have seen is shaun of the dead and the worst is signs.

TheRaisin · #88 02-25-2005, 03:26 PM

Urgh. That's all I can say to that, Fuzzleman. Urgh.

Yeah the bugs were extremely cool looking. Not entirely practical (like, they only had one eye that I could see . . . and it was located in their crotch), but very cool.

The Marching Mudokon · #89 02-26-2005, 04:12 AM

Yes, I thought the bugs looked cool as well. I especially like the hoppers.

Alpha · #90 02-26-2005, 04:18 AM

Probably the best horror movie will be Hide and Seek
Anyone ever heard of it?.
