All of you will have Spring Breakers on your list by this time next year. If you don't then you pee sitting down.

Your infatuation is skewing your overall judgement.

Or I actually have the ability to like movies outside of the IMDB top 250.

IMBD has nothing to do with my list. Any similarities are merely coincidence.

[Just2McFly]

Bad Boys 2 is clearly superior to the original.

[Just2McFly]

It's funnier, better action, doesn't have that awful husky voice bitch.

The action in the first one was>>>>>>>

[Just2McFly]

You're just saying crazy things now.

The second one was funnier but the impact the first one had on me was immense. I definitely liked insane airport hangar/drag race scenes better than the whole cuba thing.

Those 4 need to get more love.. particularly Chinatown..

More love? Those are 4 highly acclaimed movies that get tons and tons of love.

[Jackass18]

Didn't put any of the classics there, honestly I find them slightly overrated. If you watch them without any nostalgia, as a film most of them would be pretty ridiculous, slow and boring. Except Apocalypse Now, that one is great. But ClockWork Orange, Chinatown and few others don't really hold up too well imho.

Can't agree with that. If you don't have a short attention span, then they're not slow and boring at all. You have to take into consideration when a movie was made, but a well f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking crafted movie is a well f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking crafted movie regardless when it was made. How the f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck don't the classics hold up? They've stood the test of time... Maybe if you're too far caught up in the age of CGI, special effects, explosions, HD, 3D, modern tech, etc... then maybe they don't hold up to you.

I meant love shown in this thread, not in general. Those
4 aren't mentioned much in this thread, pre-my post.

[Jackass18]

I think people lean more towards movies from the decade they grew up in and I don't think we have many here who grew up in the '60s/'70s. Plus, I don't think they're movies that are on TV a lot (I can't remember the last time I noticed Chinatown or Dr. Stranglelove being on TV), and Apocalypse Now's run time might be a hindrance to some (Redux is like 3 and a half hours long).

Didn't really mean to sound like a kid with a short attention span, I appreciate those movies as works of art. And I am down for slow, methodical movies with good dialogue, amazing performances anc deep underlying themes, but nowadays I think you can have all that along with a little fun.

That's why I like Guy Ritchie/Tarantino movies, they can add all of that together and still entertain you.
