Pan-dub Posted September 20, 2014 Report Posted September 20, 2014 Yes! A title with class. As discussed on HAA #10 we bloody love 'Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit'. Whether it is objectively a good film or not I have no idea because I'm blinded by love for it and all that it reminds me of. It's got me thinking: What films do you love to the point of blindness to criticism? I'm not talking films that people love because they are rubbish (see 'The Room'), I'm interested in films you adore and simply will not hear or accept any negativity about, regardless of perceived quality. 'Wild Wild West' to 'Showgirls' - I want to know. Quote

You Know Who Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 For some reason, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. And funnily enough, this actually wasn't a film I grew up with, but one I re-discovered about fifteen years after first seeing it as kid. Quote
Rjoyadet Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 For some reason, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. And funnily enough, this actually wasn't a film I grew up with, but one I re-discovered about fifteen years after first seeing it as kid. I love Walt Disneys version of the Jungle Book. I love how sadistic yet refined Shehr Khan is. I live how Baghira and Baloo are possible Kipling and Disney allegories, the satire on imperialism. Finally I like how Disney pre-empted and reversed the White Fang cliche. Rather than a man sadly sending a tame animal into the wild the animals are tearfully sending a wild child into civilization. I have interpreted the ending as a retelling of the fall of Adam and Eve, or the loss of innocence with leaving nature or childhood ending and growing up. Either way I love it other movies include Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind Castle in the Sky My Neighbor Totoro Kiki's Deliver Service Porco Rosso Princess Mononoke Spirited Away Howls moving Castle Ponyo Whisper of the Heart Beauty and the Beast Forbidden Planet The Iron Giant.

Donomark Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Batman Begins. I'll never forget first seeing it in the theater as a 16 year old, grinning the ENTIRE TIME. Every time I watch it, I squee. It's the perfect Batman film for a Bat-Fan. Replace "16" with "4" and the same goes for Mask of the Phantasm. Quote
