forum's best film of all time


Recommended Posts

Is that in response to my mentioning it about 7 posts back Sponge? Good film.

 

Just watched Boondock Saints. Very good, corny as hell and weird watching Billy Connolly playing a bit of a psycho. Fave character was the mob boss that spoke the funny-as-hell dramatic Italian...You cock-suckeeeng barrrstard and the ever-excellent Dafoe:D

 

I'm guessing there were a lot of religious references that I didn't get but hey, very cool film nonetheless.

Yeah, for a fairytale, that movie kicked ass. First time I saw it, I loved it, but figured everyone else on the planet (the sane ones, ya know ;) ) would think it was too corny, but no! I hear all kindza people talking about it...

 

Who wants to be sane, anyway? It's too boring. :D

Shit...three others I forgot, there. Princess Bride, Dog Day Afternoon, and Strangelove. Dammit.

 

By the way, I think Princess Bride is one of the few movies that practically everyone likes. I've met the widest variety of people that say they love that film. And how can you not?

 

Inigo: Are you the Miracle Max who worked for the king all those years?

Max: The king's stinking son fired me. And thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it why don't you give me a nice papercut and pour lemon juice on it, we're closed!

Fuck, SOF ranted on that one, gotta see it..Spiffytee says its crazy.

I think Bowling for Columbine, documentary or not, gets an honorable mention - really liked what it had to say & the style it said it in.

 

PS 2T you know, didnt Saved by the Bell have a TV movie or two? How you gonna sell out your roots like that?

Try get Battle Royale. It's amazing.

 

As for knowing about the Saved by the Bell movies -

DAMN STRAIGHT I KNOW ABOUT 'EM!! Nickelodeon U.K. played Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style and

Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas a couple of months back. They truly are classics but everybody knows that they're cinematic masterpieces, putting them on the list'd be way to obvious.

Yeah, Michael Moore, and yes Bowling for Columbine is up (and will probably win) the best documentary category.

 

Surprisingly he also won the best original screenplay award from the WGA...it's the only documentary that I've ever heard winning or even being nominated for that.
