Whiplash is so freaking good. So is The Godfather: Part 2. That movie blew me away. Never seen Apocalypse Now. I'm daunted by how many versions there are and I'm not sure which one to watch first. Leon: The Professional is great too. Have you seen the extended cut?

Your list is mostly pretentious garbage.

And your list sounds like you looked up the top ranked mainstream films and just chose the most popular sounding ones

wbloechel posted...

Watch Theatrical version and then watch Hearts of Darkness, and if you want more...just do the Final Cut. And if you REALLY want more...watch Redux to see how important editing is and how one can really fuck up an almost perfect movie.

Spot on. The first version I saw was the Redux and I finished thinking, This would be a flawless movie if not for the French scenes.

I know you're going for a gimmick here - but come on, man. Goonies is a film that literally defined a decade for a lot of younger gen X'ers/older millennials, everybody and their mom loves Oldboy, and Fight Club is the most basic answer anybody could make to this question. Just saying.

Ummm no. The goonies and fight club are the only 2 main stream ones i listed. Compared to all these other lists movies I'd say 2 films instead of 10 being mainstreaming is a good ratio for me. Also no not everyone has watched oldboy.. And if they did watch oldboy they probably watched the american remake

nobody watches the American remake, and literally everybody's seen the original. It shows up on every top 100 list all across the internet. I'm not saying it's a bad film. It's a great film. But it's also insanely popular and well known.

Well maybe it is now. I guess its just when i watched oldboy, which was around the time of its original release date that it was mostly unknown by Americans. Now that its been out for like 17 years i guess everyone reviewed it and found out about it. I mean goos for them they actually.watched it, but me being an original fan compared to a person who read tons of high praise reviews and checked it out are a lot different

Man, thats just a monstrous level of insecurity and hipsterism right there.

Anyways .. I am really tired and heading to sleep soon. I dont wanna fight with anyone anymore. If you guys like those movies then thats fine, i just am suggesting you branch out a bit and find things that are not so popular and haven't been chosen by most critics as best films. If you ever watch any of the films i posted you might surprise yourself and enjoy one.

Ordet
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
The General
Vampyr
Tale of Tales
The Strawberry Blonde
PlayTime
2001 A Space Odyssey
Humanity and Paper Balloons
The Rules of the Game

I guess.

Eric, you are basing your identity in your love of watching movies in a harmful way. Everyone has the right to cherish certain movies, that is the entire point of art and entertainment. Condemning others for not being exactly you only makes me wonder how hard you are on yourself. If there truly is brilliance in your pick of movies, telling people off is not helping your case and actually hurts the perception of those movies indirectly. Why not embrace your love for movies and maybe recommend movies for others to watch or explain what themes are in your movies you enjoy? If you like x, surely you'll like y, because they have 1 2 and 3. And if not, that is their choice to make. You can't force someone else to be you and you can't hold their opinion as a fault because it's not fair. It's not fair if people do it to you and it's not fair for you to do it to others.

If you are this serious about film, you can find a career in creating or being involved. Aside from that, realize that you are no better or worse than anyone else.

Ive seen literally every single one of the movies on your list, and thousands (and thousands) more. Stop acting like your pretentious list is any better than any other list, you come off as an insecure hipster who life is such a disappointment they have to base their life around their movies.
