nononononono sorry, As a child I REALLY liked Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal. Probably seen Labyrinth 35+ times. I went back and watched those as an adult... felt ashamed. wanted to rage watching them.

(I got weird taste).
Happiness of the Katakuris is a musical/comedy made by Takeshi Miike (guy who did Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, Audition) about this Japanese family that starts a little bed and breakfast and all their clients start dying, so they freak out that they're going to lose all their business so they start burying these people to cover it up...this ends up in a scene where people basically come back as zombies singing and dancing...possibly weirdest movie ever.
Tonari no Totoro is a miyazaki film, probably the greatest kid's movie ever made IMO -

Come on guys get real half the movies you guys have picked really did nothing to further the genre, The movies that were picked were done so based on Storyline, Gross Income, and ticketsales
Gone with the Wind was a phenomenal movie, nothing to this day has grossed or sold more tickets ever
Casablanca, hailed as the greatest love story of our time
Wizard of Oz, first movie in history to ever use color and B&W
Those 3 movies can never be touched in terms of what they have accomplished in cinema would they be a personal favorite of mine no, not even close but you have to respect the classics, you cannot know where you are going until you know where you have been, and these movies have been there and back again. -

It is really hard to make a list of just 5 movies. I forgot to add House of the Flying Daggers for example. Awesome movie _O_
-
03-24-2011, 12:27 AMCairdeasActually you are wrong. Gone with the Wind isn't even on most Ticket Record lists. Star Wars episode 4 is the highest grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation of ticket prices.Quote:

Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots.
Young women: If your date likes this movie, tell him you've been thinking it over, and you think you should consider spending some time apart.

Harsh review on Battle: LA. Oh well, my dad and I enjoyed it. /shrug.

WTF. Blade runner? Seriously?
That movie is awful. The book it's based on is crap too, but at least the book tried to deliver a message about the nature of life and love. The movie just included all the superficial aspects of the book and none of the good things.
I'm serious, the only good thing about that movie is the synth-heavy soundtrack! -
03-24-2011, 07:01 AMgifthorseYeah, im the only one with taste.Quote:
