which ones?

 

[Kmack]

Cool! *checks it out*

 

[tzarinna]

I'm watching something else.
I'm sure they'll show it again.

 

[shapeshifter]

moot point now, we are 20 movies into it

 

[The Chris]

It ain't making it, but seeing a clip of Spider-Man 2 in the opening montage just made my night. Raimi and company should be damn proud of what he's done.

 

[Norman Bates]

Just reminded me of how Modern Times was such an amazing film. Chaplin is a legend.

it is great to see movies with no CG where the movie had to ride on the shoulders of the actors and their abilities. Not OOOOOOOOh AAAAAAAAHH look at all the pretty money spent on this

The good ol' days.

Yeah, definitely. Modern Times, was IMO, way ahead of its time.

A time when comedies didn't concentrate on fart and sex jokes to be entertaining.

Tom Hanks still had the Gump haircut in "Private Ryan"
That movie upset me a lot.

 

[Movies205]

I hope this plays again so I can see it from the beginning

Honestly, I don't see what's so great about Forrest Gump.
It's a good movie though, I just don't see what's great about it.

Its nostalgic for the oldies.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I love Forrest Gump. Well deserved spot IMO.

it was better than a lot of crap out there.

oh by the way. your avy is really... um.... yeah... well... with the hugging and... how about that local sports team

 

[Majik1387]

I agree.

Yeah, you missed last nights thread.

Forrest Gump is just so...optimistic, you can't help but to get caught up in it. I think its a good movie when you're having a bad day as it picks you up, and its a good movie to watch when you're having a good day because it just reminds you of why you're happy

I HATE that part when Hoffman cries about doing Tootsie. What the hell is there to cry about?

LOTR does not deserve a part on the list.

 

[Catman]

woah! LOTR

 

[Mr. Socko]

Fellowship @ #50


Personally, I think Fellowship is a great film. I could care less about the last two. King winning 11 Academy Awards was ridiculous and shows how stupid they can be.

"A streetcar named Desire"? I never liked that movie. I know for a film fan to say this is like an act of treason, but I really hated that movie.

 

[Norman Bates]

Rear Window should be higher.

Tis ok. I never liked 'A Tango in Paris' and in certain movie elitist circles, that would get you shot, stabbed, burned, and tickled to death. I also don't like Dustin Hoffman that much, although I like some of his movies a lot. Weird.

i can accept a lot of people's differing opinions I guess I'm not an elitist snob.
