Ghostbusters a better film than SCHINDLERS LIST?! what the FUCK is wrong with you people?!?

 

Sure, Ghostbusters is one of my sentimental favorites too, but you've gotta be kidding me...

 

and Citizen Kane >>>> Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I'm shocked people voted in Rocky over Rocky II. I personally think the second one was better, mainly because it was the conclussion to the first that had unfinished business and had a good sub-plot with Adrian.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I don't know. I thought Rocky II dragged a lot during the stuff with Adrian in the hospital. It became kind of boring. However, I liked the fight in Rocky II better than the first one.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I don't know.  I thought Rocky II dragged a lot during the stuff with Adrian in the hospital.  It became kind of boring.  However, I liked the fight in Rocky II better than the first one.

IMO The Rocky (1) fight was better because it showed how determined Rocky was to survive the fifteen rounds. IIRC, he wasn't looking to win, but to last the 15 rounds.

 

Not knocking the Rocky II fight, but it wasn't as great.

Yeah I like the Rocky I storyline better, but the Rocky II fight had the cool ending.

I personally cannot understand why people are picking Pulp Fiction over ROTK. To me Pulp Fiction is highly overrated. Once you look past the whole "it's shown out of order" thing it's just shock moments and crude humor.

And once you get past the special effects and great fight scenes, ROTK is all about elves and other such fantasy crap that got you beaten up in high school for talking about.

 

See what happens when you generalize? I gave Pulp Fiction the nod because Tarantino's a great writer of dialogue, and a decent director. Jackson is one of my favorites, don't get me wrong, but I can't rate LOTR as high as I would other Jackson films (Dead Alive, Bad Taste, and The Frighteners especially) because it's an adaptation of works that have been around for nearly 80 years.

No because ROTK is still a great storyline.

 

Pulp Fiction seemed cool to me in High School when it was all fun and different, but looking back on it it's nonsense. The dialogue isn't as funny as it seemed back then and honestly the shock value has just worn off.
