Cliché Thread: Best Film I've Ever Seen

[Kira-]

do you care that i think slightly less of you for walking out on a movie i haven't seen

I care because WHY would you do that? LOL that makes no sense whatsoever


@ painlord

lord of war was tight, i saw that awhile ago

 

[SuperRad]

walking out of a movie theater just doesn't make any sense to me
if i pay $10 for a ticket, i've now committed to seeing this movie. even if it sucks and i can get a refund, i'm in for the long haul.

i also tend to be pretty selective about what i pay money to go see. usually if i go see a bad movie, i was aware it was bad before i went to go see it (see: terminator salvation, gi joe, etc).

and for the record when i say 'slightly less' it's like .1%
not enough to change your grade or anything

 

[The Greater Leon]

leaving a theatre is a personal choice. i'd rather cut my losses (an hour) and just bone out if i am thoroughly hating a film. esp if you can get a refund.

i left transformers. mostly cuz my date had a headache, but it was bad. and shia lebouff is a piece of ****.

so would you be interested in trying to convince me that there is a good reason for me to stay and finish a movie i am not liking? if i saw the first half, and felt it was a waste of time, i will almost definitely feel the same way about the rest of it. i could be making better use of my time. and i can still partake in making fun of how ridiculous it was after the fact even though i didnt see the whole thing.

sunk costs yo

 

[pockyD]

it just depends how much you value your time

 

[SuperRad]

well
1) ive never gone to a theater alone
2) my time isn't valuable at all
3) im really easily entertained, and even horrible movies can easily hold my interest.

it might be illogical for me to want to stay if i was really not enjoying myself
but ive also never had the urge to leave the theater mid-movie. the spectacle of movie going

and, again, im fairly selective in what i go see in theaters.

does something have make sense to you for you to see how it makes sense to other people?

who are you to judge tho

 

[SuperRad]

as a member of the human race, its my duty to judge everything

P you can't expect white people to understand the idea that what works for them doesn't always work for everyone~

 

[ender]

i keep thinking connor is posting whenever i see that squirtle

 

[Atlus8]

I wasn't impressed by the entire film, but I finished watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the music box scene knocked me on my @$$!

I used to watch that movie all the time when I was younger.

Don't remember a single thing about it though. Scene was kinda cool but what an awful king!

 

[frotaz37]

Is this better, Ender?

 

[ender]

ya .

 

[BobbySiege]

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was better with the bangin'.

 

[debaser]

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is about as legitimate as it gets.

Mr. Night sucks at endings. I really liked Signs except for the last half hour or so. same with unbreakable. I didn't bother with the village.

The very first three episodes of breaking bad were so good I didn't know what to do with myself. Then when it started focusing mainly on the familial tension, I felt like it lost momentum and I lost interest. Where in the series is it?

 

[Adam M!]

it's too bad *** to explain honestly. not without spoiling a lot of stuff. it's pretty much the only current show that builds tension well.

 

[SuperRad]

just push through to the end of the first season
i felt the middle of the first season dragged
but the end got raw as ****
it did end weak, but thats because of the writer's strike.

on to season 2 for me...

 

[pockyD]

the content/format of breaking bad episodes varies so wildly that invariably, everyone is going to have episodes they love and hate

i recommend fighting through it

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

In no particular order...

Donnie Darko
Vanilla Sky
The Butterfly Effect (that's right)
Sin City
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
V for Vandetta
The Crow
The Devils Advocate
The Big Lebowski
Toy Story
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Troy
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Princess Bride
From Dusk til Dawn
Garden State
Southland Tales
K-Pax
Fight Club
Office Space
Night at the Roxburry
Zoolander
Pay it Forward
Walk the Line
Good Will Hunting

Those are pretty much my favorites...can't think of much else for now.

EDIT: Had to add Good Will Hunting and comment on some comments.

Firstly, whoever posted about the last episode of Dexter Season 4....agreed entirely. It was pretty much genius writing and officially made it better than season 1.

Somebody mentioned Moon. Love it...love Kevin Spacey....love movies about outer space

Somebody mentioned Inglourious Basterds, loved it. Wow Brad Pitt is in a lot of my favorite movies....

Somebody mentioned Snatch...loved it. ****....Brad Pitt strikes again =/

Somebody mentioned Pulp Fiction...I can understand a personal opinion of not liking it...but if you cannot understand WHY people like it, then you probably have a lot to learn not just about movies, but about life.

vanilla sky ****ing sucks

the original spanish version abre los ojos is really good tho

 

[SuperRad]

I just watched the Brothers Bloom. It's from the director of Brick. I think it's not quite as good, but it's still a good caper movie. If you like movies about con-men and/or liked Brick, you'll probably enjoy this.

Ten Minutes later edit:
After some further reflection, I think the Brothers Bloom is pretty genius. It's not for everybody, but there's some nice subtlety to go on top of the flat out good caper it lays out. Everything gets set up really well as the movie goes on, and while it isn't an unpredictable movie, it really doesn't matter in the end if you figure out where it's going.

In a weird way, I feel it's like a light hearted, conman version of The Prestige.

Aaaaand thank you very much for giving a perfect example and completely justifying the on-going argument that most people who hate Vanilla Sky do it with complete disregard to it's actual content, but to the fact that it is the American adaptation of a much smaller budgeted spanish indie film.

Just as an Edit, I found a really good interpretation/comparison of each of the two films that uses little to no biased...and it's from an individual that watched Open Your Eyes first.
