who respect my list here ??

The Transformers: The Movie.....


That' s all you need

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

great list.

one problem, where the hell is Ninja Scroll??

i don' t know ninja scroll or probably i' ve seen it but i didn' t know the title
i' m sure that there are so many other movies i' ve seen and each day i add some, however i avoid to rate some movies because when you are a kid, your perspective is different than you are in your 20' s.

i remember con air was a great movie but i was 15 year old i guess, so i avoided it.

Swap gladiator with Fight club,and i agree.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

what quez, those two are not good movies ?? come on

fight club is almost a classic.

ORIGINAL: Abasoufiane

i don' t know ninja scroll or probably i' ve seen it but i didn' t know the title

You need to see this movie. Especially since you seem to be an anime fan.Buy it, rent it, beat up an old man and steal his copy. Do whatever you have to do to watch it....

....now...


....you still here???

You have " The Last samurai" but you don' t have " The Seven Samurai" ...
Akira Kurosawas masterpiece is my No1.

I think you' re giving away such high ratings too easily, but here are my favorites:

Terminator 3 - best movie ever
and in no order, just favorites
V for Vendetta
Batman Begins
Fearless
The Matrix
Ong Bak


p.s. I' ve got a hold of Seven Swords and should be watching that sometime soon.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Terminator 3 - best movie ever

would you explain please why

Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
StarWars IV-VI
Leon

vx chemical about leon , when i was 16 year old i' ve watched that movie and boy it impressed me soooo much, when i start making my list vote , i rented it again so i would have a more recent point of view, and well the impact was not that good

i mean the movie is still good but it went down from 10 to 8 ( and i only showed you guys the movies that got 10 and 9 IMO), so i really wonder was that just me who got the impression because i saw again the movie much later on...

as about KILL BILL, i just watched it yesterday vol1, and i' ll watch vol 2 today i guess, but i' ve been disapointed that movie is overrated, what i noticed is that people give a lot of credit to anything stylish, querentino himself didn' t consider this movie to please the market but it was for himself, feeling nostalgic about the old martial chineese movies...

i liked the character " the bride" , but uma thurman didn' t do it right IMO, i loved the anime scene and the stylish direction , but the story wasn' t good, and dialogues weren' t striking...

i gave it an 8/10 which is still good but for me definitly not a classic.

Terminator 3 best movie ever?
I' m disgusted!!!

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

shit i forgot Scareface !! 10 (ill add it right away)

Because in between ridiculous almost non-stop action arnold pulls off hilarious one liners like " We need a new vehicle." Besides that the story is fxing awesome, acting is awesome, special effects are awesome, and the chicks are hot.

The only thing bad about the movie is when the huge truck is tipping over it looks kinda fake because of the non shinyness of it.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Absoluteflame, since there' s no Transformers: The Movie on your list, your list is worthless! You hear me?? Worthless!!!

Terry Bogard - currently the most Unhelpful member of the Kikizo forums.

Aliens: SE (it' s all about the remote sentries)
Fight Club (almost?! a classic movie? Instant classic surely - though that term is an oxymoron)
Grosse Point Blank (ace movie, ace music)
Star Wars IV-VI (the " non-buggered about with" versions

That' s all you need...

...' cept for maybe Spirited Away...

(...and Transformers: The Movie! My list counts, now! :P)

No i won' t include tranformers cus i havent see it yet..

terry go to your room and do your homework

I don' t know about " well made cinema" or anything like that, so I' ll just give a list of movies that I can just pop in ANY time and watch.

Gladiator
The Negotiator
Lethat Weapon 4
Ninja Scroll
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Matrix (the first one only)
The Last Samurai
The Incredibles
Goldmember
Minority Report
The Mask of Zorro
True Lies
Desperado
Conspiracy Theory
Jurrassic Park
Demolition Man
Aliens
Heat
Carlito' s Way
Terminator 2
Star Wars
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
Back to the future (like 1 and 3 the best)

My favourite films are:

1. Blade Runner
2. Chrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
3. Star Wars IV-VI
4. Leon
5. Daremo Shiranai (aka Nobody Knows)
6. Se7en
7. Seven Samurai
8. OldBoy
9. Braveheart
10. The Matrix (ONLY the first one)

I have to say I like your list Abasoufiane, and I agree with most of them, thoufg I haven’t seen all of them. Therefore I shall only list the once I very much disagree on. They are:

Analyze This
Face/Off
Frequency
The Last Samurai (”NO WAI!!!” Quote of the O RLY owl)
Ocean' s Eleven (depends. Is it the old one, or the new one?)
Swordfish

Still, that’s a nice list if you ask me, even though I still miss some films that neither you nor I have mentioned.

i' ve seen face/off when i was 17 i guess , therefore my way of critisizing has changed a lot, but still i remmember it as a very good movie

ocean' s eleven it' s the first one because the second one is called ocean' s twelve.

The last samurai (why no way, you made it sound like a bad movie which is defenitly not)

Next Target: Blade runner, it' s a 1983 though and for sc-fi movie i might not enjoy it , would someone give me his thaughts ?

i' ve seen face/off when i was 17 i guess , therefore my way of critisizing has changed a lot, but still i remmember it as a very good movie

I' m quite familliar with that feeling. I to many of those and I' m actually kind of scared about rewatching some of my favourite flicks from my precious childhood, as I' m afraid I' ll be dissapointed. Also, It' s not because my sense in movies have changed for the better, rather it simply just has " changed" as you so delicatly put it.

ocean' s eleven it' s the first one because the second one is called ocean' s twelve.

The first one is with Frankie and the boys.

The last samurai (why no way, you made it sound like a bad movie which is defenitly not)

Because it ripped history to shreds and spitted culture in its the face. But don' t get me wrong, you are entitled to like the movie. I just don' t like the fact that they changed Saigo into an Anderson played by Tom Cruise.

Edit:

Frankie = Sinatra

Edit once again:

Also, did you know that Hollywoods going to make a movie, most likely produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, called Kite, which is based on a Japanese cartoon porno flcik by the same name.

(the choice of words was simply for comedic effect, "
Japanese cartoon porno flcik" = Ero Anime aka HENTAI! )

Lawrence of Arabia
The 3rd Man
Spirited Away
Akira Kurosawas 7 Samurai
Akira Kurosawas Yojimbo
Blade Runner: Directors Cut (Hooray for ambiguous endings!)

who respect my list here?

I might disagree with you on Analyze That, that movie wasn' t really as good as it could have been.

Also, why no Akira? You' ve seen Akira, right? That didn' t make the list?

i didn' t expect that everybody would agree with every single movie i put there, but i hoped that in general it would be a good list, about akira no i didn' t see that movie, i heard of it a lot so i' ll give it a chance very soon....

Instead of listing every film i love (which would be a BIG list) i' m simply listing the directors and the films they directed that have had the most effect on me. I guess these could almost be classed as a list of my all time favourite films, however fims that would be in that list like; The Godfather, The 51st State, Ong Bak, Casshern, The Big Blue and Taxi are absent because this isn' t a list of my all time favourite films, -- anyways --

i' ve just seen reservoir dogs yesterday and i think that this movie is bit overrated , i don' t know why it is a classic, some people tend to give very high scores just because it is original and stylish but i guess that' s not enough to make a film a classic. i rated this movie 8.5/10 which is good but i believe that pulp fiction is way beter if i have to rank quentin tarantino movies

Pulp fiction
Kill bill vol 2
reservoir dogs
kill bill vol1

apart from pulp fiction which is a classic for me, all of them are good movies.

I agree with Majik, everything from Quentin is genius and I like most of the movies from Majik' s list.

I like half the movies you guys mentioned but would like to add a few more

Four Rooms (another Quentin Tarantino movie, its strange and fucked up, my favorite)
The Big Lebowski (everyone should see this movie)

Office Space (Jennifer Aniston is in the movie but it still kicks ass)

Terminator 2 (I saw this when I was pretty young, I didn' t think it was possible to see anything cooler then Batman, but there it was the fucking Terminator!)

Bad Santa (When I saw this movie I laughed so much I had whip-lash.)

hey! mind your business man! you must not say that!

mine are x-men and spider man were my best movies eversince!

hey! mind your business man! you must not say that!

mine are x-men and spider man were my best movies eversince!

..hey majik, if you like Brian DePalma, check out some of his other great films...

...notably Raising Cain 9/10 (John Lithgow, 1992):- a hysterically funny black psychological thriller....

..and Carrie 10/10 (Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, 1976):- horror based on Stephen Kings bestseller of the same name..

Currently accepting Article & Review requests

Yeah, i' ve seen them both and i have Raising Cain on DVD, but while i like tons of other films, the ones i listed are the ones i consider to be true workd of art.

mine are x-men and spider man were my best movies eversince!

Ever since what exactly?

X-men and Spiderman (and i presume you mean the sequels too), were nothing but acceptable comicbook adaptions. Great examples of how to make comics into movies are Sin City and Blade (just the original).

I missed off Big Blue, The Maltese Falcon and Hitchcocks Psycho because i wanted to list films that EVERYONE would be able to relate to.

I' m suprised nobody has listed A Clockwork Orange yet. Personally i hate it but it' s highly revered by critics and many movie-goers so i thought sombody would have mentioned it.

...A Clockwork Orange is utter garbage...

but while i like tons of other films, the ones i listed are the ones i consider to be true workd of art.

...are you seriously saying that Kill Bill Vol 2, Jackie Brown & Desperado, are all true art? over Carrie??

..you jest, right?...

Currently accepting Article & Review requests

Over Carrie?! Sure!

Desperado is pure genius and even the 3rd in the series of Rodriguez' s Mexican Western' s (with Desperado and Once Upon a Time... being remakes of Mariachi rather than direct sequels) couldn' t better it.

I love Westerns anyway but a Mexican Pulp Western that has Cheech (of ...and Chong fame) in it along with great dialogue and awesome style?! Then yeah, i' d take that before Carrie any day.

Kill Bill: Vol 2 wasn' t what everybody expected, but i found it much more engrossing than Vol 1 in that it had far superior dialogue. ANYTHING dirceted by Tarantino will be highly regarded in my book, the man is the greatest director alive (in my opinion ofcourse).

Same goes for Jackie Brown i guess. It had unbelievably good dialogue, a nice slow pace and was perfectly shot. Plus, Jacksons AK47 speech is a classic in it' s own right!

...hey i' m a big Tarantino fan too, but even i know a turkey when i see one...

...*coughkillbillvol2coughcough*....

...Jackie Brown is decent though...

...at least you generally know what your talking about... ..unlike abou... ....who seems to have the word ' Art' confused with the word ' Cheese' ...

..." Forrest Gump" ... ...oh my nubtard-god...

if you have to trash talk people, then give some argument

Oooooohhh, ....can we include music videos?!

...abasou, i' m not trash talking you, merely pointing out that anyone who thinks that:

Analyze That (2002)
Analyze This (1999)
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Ocean' s Eleven (2001)
Swordfish (2001)

...are amongst the best films ever made.. over such films as:

2001: A Space Odyssey
The Shining
Apocalypse Now
Superman
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Blade Runner
Alien
Aliens
The Matrix Trilogy
Halloween
The Thing
Akira
Carrie
Enter The Dragon
Predator
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of The Jedi
Natural Born Killers
The Exorcist
JFK
The Abyss
Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind
Poltergeist
Twelve Monkeys
One Flew Over the Cuckoo' s Nest
American Beauty
Jaws etc.

...clearly knows nothing about films...




....tip: ' all time' means from when cinema was invented....

The Martix Trilogy?!

Ew!

The first film was awesome but the only good thing about the 2nd and 3rd are the nice special effects. The films themselves were dire!
