Dread Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 So everyone who has flickchart, copy and paste the following putting in your own information. Where is your first comic book movie? 35, 30 Days of Night Where is your first Star Wars? 207, Empire Strikes Back James Bond? 274, Goldeneye Biopic? 25, Braveheart Baseball movie? 290, Bad News Bears Horror movie? 1, The Thing Movie in a language other than English? 32, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon First movie with a black lead actor/actress (let's keep this to one of the three names that Flickchart lists)? 40, Predator First adaptation of a book? 1, The Thing (based on "Who Goes There?") but there's also Conan the Barbarian #3 (which isn't based on a specific book, so I guess it is 5, The Virgin Suicides. First sequel? 43, Terminator 2: Judgement Day First movie released before 1980? 6, Rear Window First animated? 16, Fantasia Comedy? 2, Airplane! (my top 50 is pretty comedy heavy, actually.)

Dread Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 My issue with Flickchart in a nutshell: There is no chance that The Notebook is my 21st favourite film of all time, but it is definitely a better movie than Robocop 2. And yet, sometimes, it's absolutely accurate. Like, Phone Booth might actually be my 400th favourite film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Coyote Ugly. It at least knows what it is, it has no pretensions of being anything more than stupid fun. I need to get back to use my Flickchart more often, been much more into using Letterboxd. I'll answer the questionnaire Des posted after I work a little on updating it.

It at least knows what it is, it has no pretensions of being anything more than stupid fun. I chose it as well because Bridget Moynahan and Melanie Lynsky. I came back to mine because I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands laying down recovering from surgery and thought it might be fun. After a few hours of selecting, I finally have a top 20 that doesn't have anything that shouldn't be there. There are plenty others that could beat a lot of these films, but I'm finally ok with what it looks like.   To clarify, that's Godfather 2, and Once Upon a Time in the West.

Pretty sure The Rescuers Down Under is not something I've seen. Or Beethoven's 2nd. I was smart enough even as a child to not watch the second one.

My answers actually look very different now than they did yesterday. Example: my first comic book movie is now The Dark Knight and it's farther down the list at 77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
