Yeah, it's definately Hitchcock's best... none of that Vertigo crap, thanks.

Sorry, but anyone who plays Star Wars Galaxies:

Automatically has even shittier taste

Automatically loses any and all debates

This coming from an ATI fanboy.

Your points are now null and void, sonny boy.

Oh no, ATI can't be good because it's Canadian! :0

Anyway, you both suck, as does anybody who really likes starwars (they're good films - at least the first three are - but hey, don't get so worked up about them. I can imagine you fans are doing the same thing to Starwars as our friend Chucky Cuevas is doing to Fallout.)

1. Ocean's Eleven
2. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
3. Snatch
1. No. Not by me, at least (see #4)

2. You're doing that on purpose.

3. Snatch and Lock Stock are ok.

4. This is DaC, you can get flamed for breathing. (see #1)

I think he's talking about the real Ocean's 11, with Frank Sinatra, James Dean, and some others.

Vertigo ruled. Shut up.

Of course, my opinion may be swayed by the fact that I didn't understand a single minute of North By Northwest. I was young when I first saw it, though - I should watch it again.

My personal favorite Hitchcock is Notorious, followed by Vertigo.

With "real" you mean original? The remake is not less real for being a remake

That said, the original is a lot better than the remake, but not one of my favourites either. I love the Rat Pack, like any sane man with any sense of style should, but apart from that...

Vertigo's good, but it's not the masterpiece everybody says it is. It's a fairly boring psychological drama, so what - it's overrated in the same way Citizen Kane is. North by Northwest, on the other hand, is probably the best movie there is that simply tries to tell a story. It's one of the best thrillers ever, and it trumps Vertigo & Hitchcock's other stuff for that reason.

I kind of like Notorious best...

Easy Rider sucked you damn hippie.

Yes

But American History X is worse. Even outside of the prison scenes that movie is still a gay fantasy. Not as bad as Return of the King, which had the notiorious homoerotic "hobbits hopping on bed with gay Gandalf watching"-scene, but still pretty gay

And American History X has some pretty bad acting. Really.

CloudNineGT · Post by **CloudNineGT** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 1:56 am

I'm willing to compromise my standards in acting for a film that features a good curb stomp.

Movies:
Krull
Empire Records
Poolhall Junkies
The Road Warrior (duh)
Anything Kevin Smith made
Clockwork Orange
Dawn of the Dead
Broken Hearts Club (shut up)
The Thing
Logans Run (in a way)
More to come later, when I think of them.

if you want good acting watch True Believer, bout a jewish nazi. yeah you heard me, good movie too

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 10:41 am

I liked American History X. Lots of my friends liked it only half-way through, though (surprise surprise), but I think it was good.

Haven't seen True Believer, but I've heard good things about it. It seems it was too heavy / it handled taboo subjects, so it was censored originally?

iohkus · Post by **iohkus** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 6:35 pm

didn't look censored, who knows...

oh yeah, if you want something that was too hardcore to even be censored watch Scum... it was supposed to have been released as a documentary on BBC in the 80s but it was censored and canned because it was too hardcore, true and critical of the gov'ts handling of juvenile justice... so the creators decided to rerelease it as an independant movie
