And Salvo usually hates good films. If he loves a film it's probably not very good. He'll agree with me, I'm sure.
It's not a classic and it's not very good.
Weirdo. Those are some of the best movies ever.
Why do people like it so much? It's not bad, but christ, people think it's Godfather 2 on steds.
As I said, he's Salvo. All the films he listed are excellent.
Memento was a fecking amazing piece of work. No similar film will even come close to its style for quite some time, it was unique. It's also quite underrated, so im not sure why it's popped up on this thread a few times! Shawshank Redemption only gets so much rave because it's consistently #1 on IMDB whose voting system is extremely flawed. But it was a decent movie with a good message.
I watched 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' for the first time, quite recently. I have to say, I was underwhelmed.
Didn't live up the hype, in my opinion.

I'm gonna say something controversial.....shoot me down if you must
but....every film ever made in black and white.

Fargo.
Arrrrgh that actually pains me to read that. Love both the novel and the film, but each to their own I suppose
Yeah, that is a ridiculous statement. Does that also include modern black and white films? If so, watch Ed Wood.
I'd have to go along with those saying 2001: A Space Odyssey. I want to like it but I just can't. Terribly boring film.
I know a few people like that.. I do remember about 4-5 years ago I had never watched a film in black and white and the first few I watched I didn't enjoy to much, but once I got used to their style I fell in love with them.
I enjoy most of the popular classics but two highly regarded films off the top of my head I don't like would be M which I just couldn't get in to and Grapes of Wrath which made me think I'd rather be living in the depression than watching a movie about it.
Dammit this is the only post I just couldn't resist quoting... You are mental!!!!!
Also check out The Third man, Cassius.
And La Haine
One of my favourites and one of the best endings in cinema, what do you reckon?
The Bridges of Madison County
The English Patient
The English Patient
Yeah it's one of the classics certainly, and one of the few films from that era that I can watch without being totally put off by awful acting.
*removes flak jacket*
Yes, it was a sweeping statement. Since I made it I've thought of 3 black & white films that I like
Schindlers List
It's A Wonderful Life
Raging Bull
In all honesty, I think the problem I have with certain 'classic' old films is that the acting style is so different from todays movies that they disengage me as a viewer.
I'm sure todays films will look just as dated in 50 years. Especially with the abundance of cgi being used.

This thread is fast descending into a farce.
Indeed. Love both Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, although I'd rate the latter one as slightly better, which will be controversial in many eyes.
The novel is excellent, I haven't seen the film though...
What a film, disagree strongly on that oneI would agree with this. Though I have seen it that many times I am probably just bored of it.
lost in translation really was lost in translation for me
Casablanca was a great film. I watched it for the first time last year and couldn't believe the number of phrases used nowadays that can be attributed to that film.
Ingrid Bergman was a beautiful woman in her day.

I loved it. And seeing as my name isn't James, I'm right in thinking it's a very good film.
I've never see Reservoir Dogs, never got around to it, will give it a go when I get a chance though.
Usual Suspects...
Honestly, what a bore fest, so predictable and only god knows why people liked it?!

No Country for Old Men
Good film, dut it dragged on and on, and tried too hard to be too profound in my view. Certainly wasn't oscar worthy...wouldn't be in the cohens top 5 for me, probably not even top 10, regardless of djemba djemba

Even people who have very good taste in movies like yourself have blind spots (or the hots for Scarlett).
Blade Runner.
Looks good etc but its tedious as hell.

Why didn't you like it, Pete?
I thought the whole premise/characters didn't ring true (the flied lice sequence killed it stone dead tho'). Big let down since Copolla's other movie the Virgin Suicides was excellent.
I'll say Star Wars, its ok but I wouldn't class it as great or anything.
The Matrix was crap
Lost In Translation
I didn't like this either

Nearly as shite as Caddyshack.
Definitely agree about that one. I remember seeing a list that ranked it as the greatest movie ever so I watched it and was incredibly underwhelmed. I wasn't alive when it was released so I can't comment on how groundbreaking the camera shots were, but as far as the plot is concerned I don't care for it.
Buy yourself a new sled, you rich motherfecker.
