LOL. None. And so far no one has ever said "put that fuckin' coffee down. Coffee is for closers"
Actually, now I've typed that in, I'm going to have to go and watch that bit again. It's just a magnificent dialogue. I don't think I will ever tire of watching it.
The worst job in Thailand must be the man who has to sit down with a blue marker pen and mark a number two on the two-baht coins to stop people thinking they are one-baht coins.
while i had low hopes for this thread (expecting a lot of negativity and gasbaggery, and not disappointed) people justifying the movies that they like has redeemed it.
nonetheless i cry myself to sleep knowing that this thread keeps chugging on while pretty much any thread about movies people would actually want to watch dies a quick, painful death.
Imodium can't stop me.
Actually sat through Lord Of the Rings last night. Not sure which part it was but the cliched Hollywood bits were on show and were as predictable as ever, reminding me why, apart from the odd few, I prefer mostly foreign cinema.
When I was in America a guy told me to 'have a nice day' but I didn't, so I sued him
^ Um, isn't it foreign to you? Besides, it's a Kiwi production so it's foreign to me as well.

The problem with people expressing their opinions on movies is most people actually think they know something about movies. This thread is further proof that many people don't.
You don't like "The Godfather", "Citizen Kane", or "Gone With The Wind"? Sure you're entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is obviously not well informed. For those who haven't seen them, recognize your limits and go talk about cars or hunting or something you know about.
You want over-rated?
The Hurt Locker
Heat
Forrest Gump
The English Patient
Brave Heart
A Few Good Men
No Country For Old Men
Schindler's List
The Dark Knight
On The Waterfront
"There's a beverage here man!"
Look! Up there in the sky! ....... It's Movie Dude!!
Or His Movie Dudeness, or El Cine Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing...
I believe the reason cinema buffs continue to rate "Citizen Kane" so highly is that Wells used a whole host of techniques that had never been seen before.
True
No friggin' way
Great movie
Most definitely.
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
If you've put 'On the Waterfront' on the list of 'overrated,' I think you also need to examine your own limited knowledge of film.
