slothian Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I need to rewatch both again - they're both films that I've seen once, thought were fine and didn't subsequently understand why people rave about them so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 LOTR looks nicer. And doesn't star Sandra Bullock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Well, it's Hollywood. Obviously it wasn't William Shatner, in Pandys case it was merely Walter Koenig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Twilight. At least Twilight didn't take a shit on history and wasn't needlessly homophobic. I feel dirty for saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 My answer exactly. I can enjoy Twilight's badness, but Braveheart is at best hugely inaccurate and at worse just nasty at it's core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Twilight, because at least there are shirtless people to enjoy. And Ian, Id say enchanted for yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Psycho sits atop my list, so that will always get my vote. The Wizard of Oz, on the other hand, is a technical and visual masterpiece, but it doesn't do it for me. Then again, maybe that's because I saw it too much as a child.

Molly Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's a reason every comedy on television has done a Wizard of Oz episode. It's the classic's classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wizard of Oz, on the other hand, is a technical and visual masterpiece, but it doesn't do it for me. Then again, maybe that's because I saw it too much as a child. Psycho's about 23rd on my list so it is beatable, in my eyes at least, but "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" ultimately gave Psycho the nod. I hate that bloody song. Otherwise, because I hadn't seen Wizard of Oz in roughly 20 years, I was bowled over by how much I genuinely enjoyed it. I was bracing myself to find Dorothy grating, but she really wasn't given the context of her adventure, and the actors playing Scarecrow/Tin Man/Lion/Wicked Witch o' West were great. And hats off to the guy who played about 5 different roles too! I've also just finished watching Nosferatu for the first time. I never quite know how to rank 1920s German expressionist films, especially because Flickchart has me grade them against films like The Rescuers Down Under and Tomorrow Never Dies. Now Nosferatu beat both of those, but as influential and creepy as it undoubtedly is, do I give it an "iconic status" pass over films I legitimately enjoy more just because it's "NOSFERATU"? I need to sleep on this some more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
