MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
richmtb... just cos some people mentioned the same films doesnt mean we all agree on each others suggestions 🙂 i love big lebowski and usual suspects (although watching usual suspects more than once is pointless and the second watch is very 'meh'
i enjoyed hurt locker 🙂
tartanscarf - reading the thread title, I can't recall anyone on the planet referring to any Madonna film as anything other than tripe
I'm just thinking of possibly the worst film I've ever seen. Elephant by Gus van Sant. The film critics were all raving about it. It was spirit-crushingly dull. A film about the Columbine killings. By the time anyone was shot I was so bored I was hoping everyone would get nuked! Two hours of my life I'll never get back. Bastard.
I love Lebowski too. I love every Cohen brothers film, a lot of them have no 'proper' ending, but that's the way I like it.
Oh, and both the new Batman films are a bit 'meh' to me. They are ok, just not amazing like a lot of people claim. I prefer Jack Nicholson as the Joker to Heath Ledger.

I must confess I also found the godfather a bit meh, I'm sure it muust be me though so will give it another whirl soon.
Part 2 is obviously the classic of the series.
I think Shawshank was OK, but it does seem to be a lot of people's favourite ever film - which I can't understand.
And it does tend to be a certain type of person who thinks its the greatest movie ever made.
I love every Cohen brothers film
High five for Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, Oh Brother and Fargo.
Loads less fives for Hudsucker Proxy, Man Who Wasn't There and Intolerable Cruelty

My three fave Cohen brothers films, seriously.
Nah, Hudsucker's great camo, as are the other's you've mentioned. Fargo is my least favourite Cohen film for some reason, it's the one I watch the least anyway, even though it was raved about.
into the wild.
If the filmmakers wanted to portray the real life bloke as an annoying, spoilt, irritating ****er they succeeded.

I think that Mr. Motivator episode has warped your judgement, GlitterGary!
Fargo is a classic if for nothing else than the leg/sock/wood chopper scene - which, IMO, should be the dictionary definition of black comedy.
Cock to the power of helmet
Brilliant.
My vote is for 'Saving Private Ryan' - amazing first fifteen minutes then a bore-fest.
By the way, this is my first-ever opinionated post so please don't be too harsh.
Chapkaping, I doubt many peoples would actually think their favorite movie was actually the greatest movie ever made.
One of my favorite film is "Grosse point blank", there no way it's ever going to be classed as the greatest movie ever and even I would totally agree, and I know some ppl will hate it, but I still love the story/actors/sound track, hense it one of my favorites...

All different aren't we?

Go on then - what sort of person?
It still hurts Camo. It really does. 😉
Fargo is great though, just not my fave.

Sympathies, GG
No Country For Old Men
Zodiac
Akira
surprised nobody has mentioned inception yet considering the mixed reaction it got!
Another one that benefited from a couple of beers and turning the brain off halfway through. By the time it started disappearing up its own arse I was just barely clinging onto the plot anyway (see: beers) so gave up and just ran with it. Made it all seem much better.

Nothing I said, I hope? 😳 I like your style and I don't care for Saving Private Ryan either.
I doubt many peoples would actually think their favorite movie was actually the greatest movie ever made.
Wise words.
My favourite films include Highlander and Escape from New York, f'r instance.
I should hope so too Bex, a clear & honest opinion with reasoned backing! Pah! That not what STW needs! 😉
No worries camo16. I'm a big girl and I can take it. And yes, I'm very aware of how that statement may be misconstrued.

Nothing but pure thoughts at my end... glad you're posting again!

Very true, I stand corrected. My fave film is Repo Man and I would concede that Citizen Kane is probably a bit "greater".
Mastiles - Not saying. You'd only take it as a personal criticism if you said it was your favourite.
If anyone even considers saying a bad word about Zoolander I'm going to blow up the internetz.
Only saying because I just turned on the TV and saw Maury Ballstein in some god awful made for channel 5 matinee.

No I am genuinely curious to see if I fit the stereotype you have for the sort of person who likes it. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest as I don't need anyone's approval to have the opinions I have 😉
Rocky.
Godfather trilogy.
Zoolander sucks...
Any of the Harry Potter films....meh
Any of the Lord Of The Rings films....very meh.
Kill Bill...yawn.
I'm still waiting for the internetz to blow up
5....

3..

Boom
It's not too late for you to take back what you said... 😀
I think each post in this thread should be supported with the critics three favourite films, that way we can tell who really has absolutely no taste at all.

Well, I gauge all films on the Point Break scale, if it helps. All the films I dissed ^^^^ score 0.25 to 0.45 on the Point Break scale. Not one of them has Lori Petty in it. 🙁
Is she the burd with man hair?
What's man hair? Is it chest hair or maybe back hair...
I judge all films on the presence of a minigun. Minigun = Good. No minigun = bad.
Bex don't stop posting, we need you here!!
Is she the burd with man hair?
Um, no.
She's the raven-haired surfer lovely. 8)
Dont know about meh,but watched submarine and let me in yesterday and enjoyed them both.
Anyway back on topic
I felt mightily disappointed by Mission Impossible
I thought it might live up to the TV series...
My fave films (today only it will change tomorrow)
Apocalypse Now
Gladiator
Dogma - in fact most films with Salma Hayek get rated quite highly
