Raging Bull

[Tokolosh]

Ha! You wish!

One of Scorsese's best.

[Tokolosh]

Citizen Kane for supposedly being the best movie ever made.

[cryptowonderdruginvogue]

the godfather.

[demonrail666]

Shawshank Redemption. I want back the two hours that I wasted watching that piece of crap.

Anything and everything made by Stanley Kubrick.

[jon boy]

i will go with citizen kane for sure and dirty dancing which i think should be erased from the minds of everyone via a large electric shock.

it was! up to that point anyway. look at movies before 1941. citizen kane is great in many ways. [edit: this will save me the explanation]

of course by orwell i prefer a touch of evil and the trial-- the trial! wow that is a fucking great movie.

---

overrated: i second the shawshank redemption. it's listed as #2 movie ever on imdb-- by what pack of donkeys may i ask?

add all the lord of the ring turds. big expensive production for sure, but a stupid story, except for when the trees kick ass. still it doesn't make 3 longass movies worth the price of admission. and fuck frodo & his stupid friends.

[Пятхъдесят Шест]

Most David Lynch films. Most.

[jon boy]

i never really liked bladerunner and god knows why anyone likes black hawk down!

[Пятхъдесят Шест]

I'll second Bladerunner.

Little Miss Sunshine gets a lot hype too, but it just doesn't cut it for me.

which cut? the original cut, the directors cut, the revised cut, the new cut, or the superultrafinished cut? god damn what a pain in the ass mess. i did like the directors cut, beats the original by miles, removes the voiceover, etc. another movie that perhaps suffers when seen out of it historical context since cyberpunk exploded after that. william gibson went to see when it was out and had to walk out because he felt it was too close to what he was doing and he didn't want to be influenced.

about little miss sunshine, it's ok, not bad... who's hyping it? i suspect the blockbuster crowd who saw something like this for the first time EVARRRR.

Er. Either cut? It just simply wasn't something I was all that enthralled in. I couldn't tell you which cut I saw. Maybe it was the version, and not the movie itself. Which would you recommend?

Little Miss Sunshine was hyped in general. Whether from Hollywood press, or indie slags.

Donnie Darko
Requiem for a Dream
Scanner Darkly
All Lord of the Rings
All Shrek
All Pirates of the Caribbean
All Matrix
etc.

all suck and are therefore overrated..

pretty much any film that's come out since the 00's that has had any acclaim.

and no there are no bad scorsesce films, his films are underrated if anything, raging bull rules my balls.

[nomowish]

Red by Kieslowski.

I actually enjoyed it, but I have no interest in seeing it again. Blue, on the other hand, is a keeper.

The Double Life of Veronique I have to revisit.

requiem for a dream is a fucking worthless, inaccurate piece of shit film. if you can even call it a film. jared leto can kiss my proverbial ass.

[Rob Instigator]

shawshank is a genius film, made from a genius short story by stephen king. if you don't like it then you don't like it, but that takes away NOTHING from the quality of said film.


I nominate each and every single DAVID LYNCH cinematic jerk-off fest for overrated. HIGHLY overrated.

genius short story by stephen king

This phrase is just so hard to wrap one's head around...

gots to be read. stephen king has quite a few genius short stories.
his novels however, are another tale altogether.

kids too.

sawshank redemption is, in my opinion, not a bad film but certainly not one of the best ever; i didn't know it was praised so highly.

[Cantankerous]

a clockwork orange isn't as great as you'd be led to believe. it gets kind of difficult to pay attention to once they start reforming him.
