Shawshank Redemption is great.

Slumdog Millionaire is an overrated piece of ****.
There were so many holes in the story, and when the children are the best actors in your movie, you have a problem with your cast.
I guarantee you, come a few years from now, people will look back at it and call it overrated.
I mean, I'm not against love stories, but when there's no real indication anywhere in the film of why this chick should be in love with the main actor, it becomes a bit unbelievable that either of them would go through all that **** just to be together.
It became predictable as well. Predictability is ok in films as long as what you are predicting can be compelling anyways.
Like, you know he's gonna give some story about how he knows who Ben Franklin is. But then some homeless kid just tells him the guy on his 100$ bill is ben franklin ? It doesn't really do much to get you involved with the story or the characters. They might as well have flashed back to him taking an american history class that tells him the same thing. Showing us that would have been just as involving.
Good movie, but...not that great.

To all you Slumdog haters:
true, the love story was whatevers, I also didn't care much for it
but the score, direction, editing, the camera angles/scenery/etc. was top notch, it really deserved all the **** it got those oscars for
also yes it was predictable, you knew what was going to happen from the start (especially where the game show host writes "B" on the mirror lmao)
despite that it was very well-told
sorry cam =P
first of all daniel day-lewis' performance was ridiculous
secondly the score, while not CATCHY, was brilliant. notice how it's all rhythms and beats, then right after the final scene they whip out the orchestra.
then the personal battle that the main character and the priest dude (Paul Dano, who also did a great job btw), and the cruelties that they commit/experience, the cast's expressions and reactions and the overall tone were very well-done
other stuff like the scene where his son re-visits his old man and when he's drunk and is "making a fool of himself" in front of all the business men at the bar (like 2/3rds into the movie), captures emotions pretty accurately
the final scene was also perfect imo
i've heard nothing but amazing **** about it tho, like best movie of all time and stuff
old boy was alright. zhu said it was his favorite movie too but i wasn't a big fan
didn't see the last one
thanks everyone else for the foreign suggestions

Sadly I haven't seen The Big Lebowski, been meaning to for awhile now.
completely agree donnie darko wasn't that good unless you were emo
sorry cam =P
don't say something like that and then not provide any of your own suggestions, your post is empty the way it is
dude it was a masterpiece.

i really wanted pans labyrinth so be sad but iirc there was some irrefutable evidence that it was all real and not in her head
i think it had something to do with the creature under the bed
and ko gals is some movie from the 90s i found on youtube and really liked

i'm lazy
and i mentioned clerks and office space noob
everything kevin smith does is watchable on some level, and his best is amazing. clerks and jay and bob strike back are amazing. mallrats is good. i'm about to watch dogma now but i hear it's decent.
training day is my favorite guilty pleasure movie; it tells its little story in a very entertaining way with some great acting. plus that **** is mad funny when you watch it faded.
sling blade, reservoir dogs, death proof, aladdin, there's some other good stuff mentioned in the thread. but i'm not big on movies and most "good" movies i see tend to disappoint heavily, so i don't think i've seen what's so great about the art form yet.

whats interesting about dogma is that it isn't anti-religion, its just what kevin smith wrote while he was a having a crisis of faith
so while it does make a commentary on religion and the catholic faith, it isn't like a "lol religions dumm" movie.
edit:
i got smashed and watched predator last weekend
good times

when i was a child i woke up in the middle of the night and came out into the living room to find my dad watching a movie. i asked him "daddy what are you watching" and he told me Predator, and then described the plot of the movie to me over the roar of the guns. then i saw the black guy get ***** and i closed my eyes and ran back to my room and didnt sleep for a long long time
