Here's my list of movies people have told me time and time again that they love, that made me want to when I saw them.

in no particular order....

*I Love You To Death

*The Sound of Music

*Angelheart

*Gladiator

*A.I.

*Dr. Strangelove (actually not THAT bad a movie but.. )

*The Little Mermaid

*Vanilla Sky ( the orginal is SOOOO much better)

I'm sure I'll think of more later

Vanilla Sky

Mystic River

Waterworld

my list would also include A.I.

plus:

- Moulin Rouge
- Spiderman
- Tomb Raider (okay, nobody really thinks it's good, but my goodness it's CRAP)
- Harry Potter and the Wank Movie Franchise
- Citizen Kane
- The Third Man

(these last two are okay but i wish people would about them being the greatest blah...blah...!

The Matrix movies (sorry, people, but these movies aren't NEARLY as philosophic as you'd think. I wanna tell the screenwriter that existentialism hasn't been "deep" since the '60s)

Gladiator (SUCKED!)

Titanic

Saving Private Ryan ("The Thin Red Line" was waaaaay better in comparison)

The new Star Wars movies (Attack of the Clones was mediocre at best)

waterworld ain't a bad movie.

What's the Original Version? I've only seen the Tom Cruise version very recently (yesterday) and found the end strange - I completely understood it but was still twas a weird feeling. Maybe if I read it in writing I'd remember more.

TheFrog said:

I like Citizen Kane the rest of your list

Case said:

The first Matrix was good, but overrated.

Yup I totally agree!

TheFrog said:

Awww... Frog yes it is , but I still like it.

Oh am I????

Let's start off with your beloved Angelheart...

I watched this piece of crap because you talked about it so much.... I expected something freaky, sexy like 9th gate or Rosemary's baby....I was really disappointed!
Sure seeing Ms. Thing neekid was a plus, the blood dripping from the ceiling rocked, but the plot was disjointed (I'm being generous when I say plot) it was like a Tales From The Crypt episode gone wrong.

Next Gladiator...

Ok I admit I was drunk when I saw it...kept falling asleep.. I just remember it being REALLY long... I've never been to eager to give it another go though.... I really can't stand Crowe.


Dr. Strangelove.... again I like Sellers, Love Kubrick.... just didn't do it for me


Vanilla Sky ... watch the original then you will know what I mean.

Sweeny79 said:

Watch them all again, Their much more entertaining with a second view. Yes, Angelheart did have a wonderful plot!

Though, I don't remember talking about Angelheart that much.

Dogville!!!

I finally got to rent it after a friend passionately recommended it to me

God, that movie IS irritating

Sweeny79 said:

i also think i'm the only person in the world who likes The Postman.

garganta said:

Mystic River??? That is a great movie!

Let's see...The Matrix movies
Spider Man 1 and 2
The Wizard of Oz

Smooches;)

anything directed by Ron Howard with the exception of Splash...


anything staring Tom Cruise...


and anything by Wes Anderson..

DIS- JOINT-ED

You DID!

TheFrog said:

Never saw it... my mom likes it though

Graffiti Bridge!




Wait, no-one ever said that was good.

doctormcmeekle said:

I might get for saying this ..but A Clockwork Orange really sucks IMO. I love most of Kubrick's work (The Shining, Full Metal Jacket ect.), but damn, I really didn't like this when I saw it a couple of months ago. It really hasn't aged well at all.
