it's arguable that the 5 greatest movies ever are all from 1994

[John_Connor]

Why unfortunate?

Ain't nothing wrong with a little kiddies sexual tension done nicely.

It's one of the things that makes the movie special.

Although I didn't enjoy it. Just ok to me.

I didn't enjoy the Godfather. so where do we go from here. just 2 guys not enjoying classic movies that are great regardless of what either one of us think

Well, you can tell us why you didn't like it. Greatness of art is subjective anyways.

its outdated. too many useless scenes to extend the film. sorta like the deer hunter and other movies from that era. there's amazing scenes from it but it's poorly edited. that entire wedding scene coulda been 5 minutes but it feels like half an hour


actually it was

Forrest Gump is legitimately the most overrated movie of all time. The entire premise of the movie is “Look at Forrest at this historic moment”. Totally capitalized on baby boomer nostalgia.

low IQ. Forest Gump is about a boy struggling his whole life to become a man and prove himself to everyone that he's not just some crippled retard and he's constantly trying to elevate himself for Jenny's approval. then when he finally attains the success and notoriety he finds out that its not him who needs her. but her who needs him cause she's dying. then he finds out he's a dad so he finally becomes a man of purpose. and all the knowledge he learned over the years will help him raise a kid when he's basically a kid still in his own mind. which we all are. we're all just grown up kids learning from past failures and successes. but it's biggest take away was the crippling leg problems and being a southern boy told he would never amount to anything and still becoming successful. obviously some people won't take anything from that but for people from that era who went through the polio epidemic where a lot of kids wore braces as kids and by the time the movie came out they were all in their 40s and 50s it gave them validation. you just don't understand these things because you're ignorant

Connor does not have the attention span for a movie over 90 minutes.

Probably true

But he said he likes Pulp Fiction which is one of the GOAT movies...

apparently because I don't wanna watch a 3 hour movie that it must mean I can't watch 2 hour movies which is about as far as any movie should go. wwe proved this concept with wwe ratings plummeting immediately after switching to 3 hour shows

[John_Connor]

3 hours doesn't work
