Guest Mole Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I was thinking the other day how there are very few movies, if any, that just about everyone likes. Star Wars episodes 4-6, Lord of the Rings and Shawshank Redemption are the only movies that I haven't heard any negativity about.
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I never got into the Star Wars series at all. What about Back to the Future?
Guest Downhome Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 There isn't a movie that EVERYONE likes, I highly doubt so anyway. We can try it though, and so far, I like all movies listed.
Guest Flyboy Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Some people hate Star Wars (not me, though) so that one deserves to be off the list. But, really... it's impossible for everyone to like one single movie. No point in trying to find one.
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I think everyone can agree in their opinion of Mole, however.
Guest Mole Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 That's my question, but I am sure there is one movie that 9/10 people like. I'll name some more and if you don't like it, say so. Lion King Silence of the Lambs Memento Wizard of Oz Citizen Kane ET Jaws The Godfather Goodfellas One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Jaws Those are just off the top of my head.
Guest Mole Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I think everyone can agree in their opinion of Mole, however. Yeah, lets start 5th grade stuff again.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Well problem with Shawshank Redemption is that hardly anyone ever mentions it good or bad. It's a rarely seen movie so there's not enough people that has seen it to get alot of "hated it" opinions.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 i don't like LotR...or...I can't get into it... I'd say Back To The Future
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Lion King- It's OK Silence of the Lambs- Never seen Memento- Never seen Wizard of Oz- It's good Citizen Kane- Never seen ET- Great Jaws- OK The Godfather- Didn't like Goodfellas- Didn't like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest- Was good Jaws- OK
Guest Mole Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Wow Max, you NEED to see Silence and Memento. And you didn't like Godfather or Goodfellas? Damn. I like Back to the Future, but the third one sucked.
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I've heard good things about Memento. Maybe I should rent it.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 well it takes a certain person to get into mob movies... I know they are great movies...but i don't praise them...i just know they are good
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 well it takes a certain person to get into mob movies... Exactly. I'm not an action movie type of guy (which is what a lot of mob movies are), nor am I a big "drama" guy either.
Guest Downhome Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I've heard good things about Memento. Maybe I should rent it. Greatest film ever, and my personal favorite. I'm fine with everything on the list so far.
Guest Mole Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 If you aren't a big drama guy, then Memento isn't for you. Still go see it though, it's an awesome movie that should have won Best Picture in 2001. If not Best Picture, atleast Best Orginal Screenplay. What is more orginal than Memento?
Guest El Satanico Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I like all of these, but it's easy to find reasons why someone could possibly not like them. Lion King: "Cartoons are for kids" Silence of the Lambs: "It's too bloody" Memento: "Too confusing" Wizard of Oz: "Singing is gay" Citizen Kane: "black and white sucks" ET: "ET looks like a nutsack that's gay" Jaws: "That fish isn't scary" The Godfather: "It's long and slow" Goodfellas: "Too violent and too much cursing"
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 If you aren't a big drama guy, then Memento isn't for you. Still go see it though, it's an awesome movie that should have won Best Picture in 2001. If not Best Picture, atleast Best Orginal Screenplay. What is more orginal than Memento? I like dramas, but I'm not pushing over old ladies to go see them unless they have a good story, which I'm told Memento has. After my birthday...after my birthday I'll check it out
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 what's more original than Memento? Donnie Darko
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 I liked Donnie Darko. Jake Gyllenhall was fantastic. That movie should have won some awards, IMO.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 everyone should like that movie
Guest Downhome Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Here are a few off the top of my head, all of which I love, but I want to try them out here... Casablanca Meet the Parents Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Toy Story Toy Story 2 Pulp Fiction Se7en Adaptation ...like I said, I love them all. You know, damn, I am pretty easy to please for the most part, I need to start being harder to get along with.
Guest MaxPower27 Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Didn't like Casablanca or Meet the Parents, and I've never seen Adaptation or Pulp Fiction
Guest El Satanico Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Monsters Inc "Cartoons are for kids" Many people will simply refuse to watch cartoons because of the belief that all cartoons are meant strictly for kids. So all cartoons are out of contention.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Casablanca - only seen parts Meet the Parents - didn't enjoy it as much as most...the girl was such a bitch. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? - awesome. Toy Story - 2nd one is better. Toy Story 2 - better. Pulp Fiction - pretty cool for the parts I've seen Se7en - good. Adaptation - good. my thoughts are above...
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 How about Ferris Beuler's Day Off? Not my favorite, but EVERYONE likes the film, really. Aside from that... never heard anything negative about The Big Lebowski or Forrest Gump (well, one mild bad thing about the latter, but still), aaaaand... hrm... a lot of the old National Lampoon's movies, like Christmas Vacation and Animal House, seem to be loved Worldwide. Anyone not like these movies? Because really, they seem to be just timeless classics that everyone enjoys. Obviously SOMEONE has to not like a movie, but still, I'd say these come fucking close, eh?
Guest El Satanico Posted June 8, 2003 Report Posted June 8, 2003 Casablanca Many people will not watch old movies or black and white movies.
