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' 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.)

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

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..

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?...

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...

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

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!
