TBH, they’re both good, so is the Last Crusade – yep, those 3 great films, I’m glad that’s the only ones they made, and lets leave it at that.

Yeah they could have so easily ruined a great trilogy

People have mentioned great films. Alien(s), Robocop and Goodfellas are all right up there as films I like.

No film will be universally loved, however, going on the thread title, I feel the standout film mentioned that will get the best consensus as good film is Jaws. Toy Story would also fit the bill as well.

OT but Goodfellas was a Good Film until the Birks in Aberfeldy did a Goodfellas and Meatballs night - spaghetti and meatballs (garlic sliced according to the system), a glass of red and the film.  Then it became a Brilliant Film.

Jaws is a great shout as is The Incredibles. I get Goodfellas and Casino mixed up and think they are both shite. Seen one Mafia film, seen them all.

Robocop is similar to Starship Troopers when it comes to people thinking they are supposed to be serious action films. They really aren’t and both are classics, but I wouldn’t think they’re universally loved.

Monsters Inc?

Other than Toy Story I find Tom Hanks really irritating. No idea why.

I suggested it no one said anything bad about it – what don’t you like about it? It’s to my eyes a stone cold classic

Well apart from the terrible acting, the awful script and poor direction, nothing.

awful script

don't be ridiculous!

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me"

"You have 15 seconds to comply"

"Your move creep"

Utter classic 😀

“I’d buy that for a dollar!”

“Dead or alive, you’re coming with me”

“You have 15 seconds to comply”

“Your move creep”

All of which look like Judge Dredd rip-offs to me

Goodfellas is not shite.

Entirely subjective. I think it’s shite, you may think differently, either way is fine and nobody died. 😉

Plains Trains and Automobiles

Brilliant film as long as you stop it 15mins from the end and make up your own whacky ending.

It is though, but a little more as to why people think something is shite or not is useful, rather than I didn't enjoy it or not to my taste - neither of which make something shite.

Okay, as previously stated I find once you’ve seen one mafia film you’ve seen them all. I genuinely get Casino and Goodfellas confused. They blend in to one, overly long, predictable film with cliche characters.

With it being subjective if I think it’s shit then, to me, that is exactly what makes it a bit shite. Opinions are great 👍🏼

Agree it's subjective. But shite? Script is top notch, editing , cinematography, performances are all fabulous. Sense of time and place...

Shite is harsh for a well crafted piece of cinema.

Raiders of the Lost Arc seems like a great shout to me . If you want to be entertained for a couple of hours I don't really see how you could not enjoy it . No doubt I'm about to find out 🙂

I’d be (somewhat) surprised at anyone not liking:

Top Hat

Gone With The Wind (although it may be a tad long for some)

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

Midnight Run

I'm in a FB group called Last Exit To Nowhere Collective, spin-off from the t-shirt company.

Anyway the only film that this collection of uber-geeks agrees on is

John Carpenters, The Thing

And they are right.

Everything else is just varying degrees of fluff.
