the only movies i would have been angry if i went without are

shawshank redemption
schindlers list
taxi driver
good fellas
forest gump
rainman
2001
full metal jacket
fight club
fargo
interstellar
the matrix
rocky
gladiator
big lebowski
the wrestler


everything else is just really good. these ones had more meaning behind them or they were truly unique


one comedy to throw in would be dumb and dumber

Pretty good list tbh.

Although I just rewatched Gladiator for the first time in many years and found that it didn’t hold up that well IMO. If it wasn’t for Russell Crowe it would just be meh for me

he's 100% correct.

cinema is a nolan directed batman film. a film with a lot of attention given to the different key elements. story, visual effects, score, etc. hell, even the new batman blows any marvel movie out of the water.

marvel movies are made for mouthbreather audiences like kenny. quick dopamine hit. no substance, all flash.

https://i.ibb.co/X2QnCV6/p31330-p-v12-ai-1.jpg Yeah, that's not unexpected. I have it lower in my Bergman rankings because I don't feel it quite meets its cultural significance. And I probably should have added The Sacrifice on my subjective list instead of Stalker, leaving Ordet as the only film on both lists.

i don't have rankings or lists just things that meant something to me for one reason or another and perhaps might to others

[Bimbo Coles]

i don't have rankings or lists just things that meant something to me for one reason or another and perhaps might to others I guess I've been thinking about an objective list for a while, but the subjective list is of my personal favourites. I maintain lists of favourites, things to see, etc. With the exception of Rifkin"s Festival, I've seen every Woody. It's like that with a lot of directors. It necessitates keeping lists. I know guys like you that don't. I can't do that. I'm a list guy. And we aren't talking about a few dozen. I've got hundreds of lists -- some are kept in an orderly fashion, others I scribble onto paper. It's how my mind works.

Not necessarily. But the film being akin to a roller coaster with the effects and action pieces can distract from a lack of narrative or character development.

That's fair.

Applying it broadly to marvel movies is unfair. Nobody discards Goodfellas as another gangster movie sensationalizing money, drugs and violence because of Scarface. That's not even being critical, that's just being lazy.

Guardians of the galaxy was layered with themes that are relevant to the day. Everyone meets tragedy in life. Underneath all of the superpowers and comic book stuff, the movie shines a light on human resiliency and the value of friendship.

Sure, but it only works to a certain degree.

The first Guardians might actually be my favorite Marvel movie because it seemed to have a little more heart than most of the others. But after 12 movies about human resiliency and friendship it gets a little stale for me.

Having the same theme over and over and over, it becomes clear that there isn't much need for meticulousness in the set up or anything truly different other than the specific circumstances each hero is in. It's all pretty on the nose and it doesn't interest me in any way.

Not that it isn't "art" because there's many levels that go into just creating these things. The cinematography is cool and there are scores of people excelling at their jobs. It's just not at all what I'm looking for in film at this point.

I am not dismissing the fatigue, and I think we're getting off track here. My fault because I will defend Guardians like ArbitraryWater does Ronaldo :lol

My original point was that "your favorite comic book movie" fits the premise of this thread. I would never recommend watching the entire marvel movie library to anyone, but I would recommend watching at least one of the Marvel movies to everyone. A big part of the reason I watch the movies I do is being able to discuss them with other people. That's why I would include one movie from all of the blockbuster franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek in my own list.

rambo first blood does a good job of creating sympathy regardless of beliefs at least in my opinion

Rambo first blood almost feels like it belongs to an entirely different series than the rest of the Rambo movies. When most people hear the name "Rambo" they probably think of a guy with huge muscles gunning down an endless army of enemy minions, but from what I recall Rambo doesnt actually kill a single person in this film, and he doesnt really start using a firearm until the final 1/3rd of the movie.

And yeah it does a great job of creating sympathy, not just for Rambo but also for the villains (the cops) who are mostly just guilty of misunderstanding what they are dealing with and not knowing when to swallow their pride.

Movies can expose you to new perspectives, cultures, and ideas. They can also help you to understand and appreciate the world around you and offer a way to relax and unwind after a long day.

But generally speaking, it is likely that spending time learning something worthwhile would be considered more valuable and much more of a priority than watching a list of movies before you die. Learning something worthwhile such as a new skill, knowledge or education can help you to achieve your personal and professional goals and have a positive impact on your life and the lives of those around you.

It's possible to find a balance between watching movies and spending time learning something worthwhile. Just be mindful of how much time you are spending watching movies, knowing that the less movies you watch, the more likely it will be for you to become a top G.

Now explain your issue with my list of movies (there’s more be here all day). A list involving movies that were great and should be watched once while you exist on this planet. Before you kick the bucket.

[warriorfan]

Gobb strikes me as a Scarface man.

I admittedly really do like Scarface. People caricatured it but I felt it was brilliant acting and ive seen most movies on everybody's lists here.

I admittedly really do like Scarface. People caricatured it but I felt it was brilliant acting and ive seen most movies on everybody's lists here.

I think it lies in a weird underrated and overrated at the same time area.

Some think it’s the best movie which is of course overrating it.

Some think it’s the worst movie which is underrating.

It’s an enjoyable movie. It is over the top but it works in a way. I can’t really remember the last time I felt like watching it again though.

[GOBB]

Gobb strikes me as a Scarface man.

It’s not on my list. Overrated movie if you ask me.

Lacks replay value for me. Core memory doesn’t unlock. Kind of what I’m going for when picking movies.


Add Spaceballs, Neverending Story, No Country for Old men.

It’s not on my list. Overrated movie if you ask me.

Nice we got someone who watched Bad Boys and enjoyed it? Ahhhh the memories watching this. Been awhile since I’ve watched it but if I cut it on I’d watch it start to finish. Nice mention

I like He Got Game as much as anyone, but I wouldn't call it a movie to watch before you die. As well as Napolean Dynamite. :lol

I admit, I showed some clips of some movies in the last page that you can say the same, but I posted those movies because they are less known about and I enjoyed them. My list would be more like...

12 Angry Men
The Godfather
Pulp Fiction
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Goodfellas
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Raging Bull
City of God
Parasite
Apocalypse Now
Trainspotting
There Will Be Blood
The Shining
American Beauty
Scarface
Heat
The Shawshank Redemption
Fargo
Gone Girl
The Green Mile
Interstellar
The Matrix

Ahhhhh ok if it’s legit I’m about to die, death bed/hospice? Then I honestly don’t know what movies I’d like to watch on my way to the upper room. In that regard I can see why my list may have some puzzled. But I mean who wants to watch some of this movies on the death bed? lol I see quite a few questionable mentions no better than He Got Game or Napoleon Dynamite. I mean at least Napoleon will make me laugh hysterically while quoting the lines. He got game not so much. I wouldn’t want to watch that if I’m about to kick the bucket

I went with movies that had high replay value + unlocked core memories. Where I feel they are flicks I had to have watched before I leave this planet. Guess that falls into personal most watch then. Just weird to me to think of death and what movies I want to watch.


Interstellar was a great movie that I didn’t watch until 2 months ago. Watched it on a bored day and I’ve seen it 4 times already. City of god was fantastic. Two good mentions.

I never saw 12 angry men before. Or Trainspotting.

[tpols]

Anybody thats never seen trainspotting and clockwork orange those are some trippy movies. Also Memento.

Smoke a joint and watch one of those.

Yea Memento was like the original Inception, don't know if that was ever listed. Out of all these movies Inception was one of the few I saw in theaters live.

Tom Cruise ceased being an actor decades ago.

He is now just a product.

Tom Cruise ceased being an actor decades ago.

He is now just a product.

He seems to enjoy it. In any case I like his action movies. He figured out formula to making bank when making them doing his own stunts.

Meh, I liked it as a kid, rewatched it later as an adult and it didn't age well, too campy in it's characters, you got the weird loner chick, the preppie popular girl, the nerd, the jock and the rebel metalhead stoner, all the 80s cliche social groups lol

Didn't mention this in my first post, don't know how I could've forgotten to mention it, one of my absolute favorites...I'm a big Coen brothers fan.
