Best Movie Ever Made.

[SuperFerret]

How can the best movie ever made not be in this pool? Titanic! The movie is the best. Won 11 Oscars, and it's not in the pool?

It was in the pool, but then it sank.

It's The Departed for me, I never ever get tired of watching that film. Scorcese even manages to get amazing performances from traditionally average actors such as Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg. The story is epic and there are so many classic quotes in it. Absolutely love it.

The Shawshank Redemption and American History X are close seconds.

Would have rather seen a Seven Samurai then the Magnificent Seven, but from that list I would say Saving Private Ryan

Batman 89 is in the pool and not Titanic? This is just ''amazing''. I know nothing about the cinema.

Titanic? Meh, it starred a green Leonardo Di Caprio and an unlikable Kate Winslet, what was so great about it? It's strictly a film for the women.

 

[Schlosser85]

It's always been a little inexplicable to me that Titanic is the highest-grossing movie of all the time. The Lord of the Rings is far better, and even the box office runner up The Dark Knight is a better movie.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'd love for Cameron, DiCaprio and Wislet to reunite and do a Hindenberg movie that totally parodies Titanic. I know they're not comedy people, but including them makes the joke that much better.

Best movie ever made? There's no such animal. For every movie that could possibly fit that title, another will be made that will equal or surpass it.

Jesus, would you people stop with the TDK worship? My god, its a fine film and everything, but it has a lot of flaws, and its not nearly as good a Batman film as Batman Begins. Take the Joker out and how good is TDK? Seriously. It shouldn't even be in any discussion about one of the best films ever.

And as utterly ridiculous as that poll is, it does have what I consider the best movie ever made. Not that I know how that could ever even be determined, but "Unforgiven" is what I consider to be the most "perfect" film I've ever seen. But some of those choices...my goodness.

Why should people take the Joker out of the equation in judging the film? He's intricate to the plot, the story is as much about him as it is about Batman. It is what it is. I don't get this argument and I've seen seen it a lot. How good would Goodfellas be without Tommy? S-M2 without Doc Ock? You can apply what you are saying to ANY film.

Batman Begins good, which is to say, not very.

I don't get this argument and it doesn't make sense. How good would Goodfellas be without Tommy? S-M2 without Doc Ock? You can apply what you are saying to ANY film.

My point was that he was the only interesting character in the film. And no, the story really isn't about the Joker or Batman. I'm not sure what the movie is about really. I guess its supposed to be about the fall of Harvey Dent. Again, I'm not bashing the movie, I think its a good movie and one of my favorite of 2008 because of Ledger's incredible performance, but Batman is relegated to a supporting role, much of the acting is just atrocious, plotholes abound, and the Harvey Dent transformation was borderline sacrilege. But I don't want to turn this thread into a debate on the quality of TDK.

And Batman Begins is twice the film.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a great series, but I can't see how you can call them the best.

In Two Towers and Return of the King, the parts with Frodo become a fricking chore to watch. They are long, draw out, and hardly compelling.

Frodo is such an intricate character to the story, but to me the movie makes him seem like the less compelling and less interesting one.

The second one became an action film at the end with slices of Frodo here and there where you are like "crap, can't they just stay with the good part"

Sam does a good amount to try and save those parts, but they just fall very flat for me. And Gollum is the Jar Jar Binks of the piece. You are just waiting for him to die from the first time we meet him.

At the end you want both Frodo and Gollum to die. And then there is the ending to Return of the King. The neverending ending. Good lord.

It is a good film series, but none of them should even be top 10 of all time.

Raiders of the Last Ark

 

[8wid]

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the best movie ever

 

[gwynplaine]

White Heat, the night of the hunter, Barry Lyndon or Grand Illusion, I'm not sure.
As for best comic book movie ever made that would be The Dark Knight.

 

[DarkReflections]

i love alot of the movies on that list, since they are some of my top favorite movies, especially raiders and empire. but i have to say 2001: a space odyssey is the best film ever made. hell any film by kubrick are the best ever made. thats a fact.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

BEst film ever made? HMmm, tough one. Either empire strikes back, Raiders of the Lost ark, Rocky (1975), or Die Hard and Lethal Wepaon. That includes non comic films. Favorite comic film that's on that list you posted for voting? Spider-Man (2002).

I hate threads like this because it never works as it should, it just gives people a vehicle to ***** about films they believe are "overrated" and inevitably turns into a "what side of the TDK fence are you on"

 

[Johnny Drama]

Batman Begins good, which is to say, not very.

That statement negates all the credibility you once had one the subject.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm on the side where the grass is greener.



Sorry that I don't find Batman Begins all that enjoyable. I don't like Batman much, and I definitely don't like Bale's Batman at all, and Begins had too much of him (which is fine, just not my cup of tea).

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Lord of the Rings is not one movie. You cannot find a 9 hour dvd anywhere on this planet. It was adapted from 3 seperate books. Lord of the Rings is not one movie.

It's one long story without any clear division between the parts, which is what leads people to say that it's like one long movie. Plus spending a day watching the extended editions back to back to back is just about the geekiest way to waste a day (though I took it a step further and planned a Dungeons and Dragons campaign while I watched).

That is what the Hype is all about. This thread is about opinion, and TDK fanboys claim it as one of the "greatest movies of all time" and there are other people who completely disagree. I admit that I am on the "disagreeing" side. I believe that it may be one of the overrated movies in the past few years. Which is my opinion. It's boring, it's dull to look at, nothing appeals to me at all. Fanboys love it to death and won't stop until everyone else loves it. They just need to learn to deal with other peoples opinions.

And that's fine that you don't like the character. But it's one thing to say you don't like a film then to flat out strip it of it's merit and deny that it was a critical success all across the board. Go read 10 reviews of the film and tell me how many negative ones you find.
The point I am trying to make, is this: I hated Titanic, it just wasn't for me. But I will never call it a bad film because I can identify it's many strong points and I can respect it's 11 Academy Awards and unanimous critical acclaim, so there is that.

Again, I am not questioning your reasoning for not liking the film, I was just wondering how you could justify calling it a bad movie.
