Best movies in the World, ever

Happy CTYI guy

me thinks this place could do with a good poll. Movies i think are in order now

qwidgybo

is spiderman the new atari jaguar??cos otherwise i don't see why it's in the "best movies" thread...

shep the malevolent pixie

and where's the godfather movies? star wars is *NOT* the best movie in the world, in fact it's pretty crappy really, they all are, but they became a big cult thing and are now revered etc. i mean, don't get me wrong, i enjoy them very much, they're incredibly entertaining, but they are in no way the best movies ever. i'm sorry, i'm cranky today. tired and sick, arg and so on. grr.
sHep :cool:

incidentally, i'm voting for lord of the rings as 'tis the most worthy of the title of best movie ever of the ones you've written. (dear god i'm cranky tonight, i apologise sincerely)

Happy CTYI guy

I didn't put in the Godfather movies because they bored me, and i included Star Wars because I'm one of the cultists, and i put in spiderman because it bloody well entertained me

shep the malevolent pixie

fair enough. as i said, i'm cranky tonight.
sHep :cool:

'snot that they're bad movies as such anyway, it's that they're not the *BEST*. i dunno, i'm tired and bored.

Crash

So theses are really the best movies in the world ever, rather they're a few movies that amused you? funny how these threads such as "most influential song ever" and this all seem to fall apart soooo well.

Happy CTYI guy

yeah, because i dont think there can be a definitive list of the best movies in the world so i plumped for the list of my favourite movies

claire h

None of them...

shep the malevolent pixie

i'll fall YOU apart......
in his defence, it would be difficult to come up with a definitive list of the best movies ever. my god almighty with a chainsaw, my brain hurts. wow....
sHepph :cool:

I agree. (But i'm voting on Spiderman purely on the novel way osbourne dies. Oh, that was hard to watch.)

claire h

Why am I evil and scary all of a sudden?

Miss-Misery

Hmm, i don't even particularly like any of those films. I don't think these polls can be broad enough,but i am appaled at the lack of kevin smith films in there

Evil in a good way, honeybunch.:)

I voted Snatch because it entertained me the most. Simple really.

ll=llannah

its just a poll really. not pondering the meaning of the world or anything. just click on one or don't. not a big deal people.

Don't make me laugh, these are all new movies!!!


Also you forgot such classics as Shawshank Redemption and Aliens

what a list, blaaa


:rolleyes:

Happy CTYI guy

1. I've never seen Shawshank Redemption
2. When i saw aliens, the reception on my TV was really bad and whenever i saw any of the sequels i was appalled by the lack of fright
3. I dont even know who Kevin Smith is
4. If this was the list of best movies in the world it'd be a broader list, and i can only remember movies i've seen recently

Plasticman

the best director EVER was, imho, stanley kubrick. the wierdness, the depth, the Ultra-Violence:D, the carnage, the hilarious quotes ("gentlemen, stop fighting!! this is a war room!!"), hinted, nay, blatantly envisioned pedofilia, nudity, and bright lights and pretty colours to cater for those stoned. his movies have EVERYTHING. pity he's dead.

You've must soooo many good films,.

Shawshank is a excellent film

Aliens is a sequal itself, Alien was the first film


as for Kevin Smith, uhh
Have you even seen a decent film at all?
sigh...

:rolleyes:

Mystic Fibrosis

Do you mean to imply Dogma is NOT good? I smite thee. (and s. redemption rocks.)

has anyone read the bluntman & chronic comics? Muchos......good....

PULP FICTION ROCKS DAMMIT!

Makaveli

From that list Pulp Fiction.
But come on, how can you call the thread "Best movies in the World, ever" and then stick in Unbreakable/Blade II/American Psycho...

TheAlmightyArse

Chasing Amy's on the Beeb this Satruday! Huuuuuuuuuz-zah!

nosmo

Blade 2?
Unbreakable?
Spi...Spid...SPIDERMAN???

shep the malevolent pixie

KEVIN SMITH!!!!!! JAY AND SILENT BOB!! DOGMAAAAAA!! i love that movie. why do i keep typing movei? stoopid meee.
sHep :cool:

purplepolkadot

someone take 'the one' and 'spiderman' and 'unbreakable' and 'star wars' and 'blade 2' off that goddamn poll. i mean, 'unbreakable', really.
and then put on
'l.a. condfidential',
'dogma',
maybe 'the untouchables',
'clockwork orange',
shawshank,
possibly 'high fidelity'
and 'stand by me' on it.
ooh and 'pushing tin'.
and old films? like 'breakfast at tiffanys' and 'the great escape' and 'north by northwest' and 'the thomas crown affair'.
'aliens' blows 'alien' was far better.
plus i love 'the goonies' and 'some like it hot'.
'pulp fiction' is the most entertaining of that few; the comedic value and fantastically wonderasmic script just plain rule. all forever.

TheAlmightyArse

Dogma? Too much solliliquising about stuff I'd already given far too much thought, coming to conclusions I'd already come to. *sigh* And what the hell was up with Chris Rock? Black disciples, fine, American disciples, no. And Serindipity? More annoying than that Donkey thing in Shrek. [/pretentious arse]

Still, the **** demon was nice.

Oh, and Mallrats is far superior, purely because of its immense re-watchability, dontchernoo.

Each of those movies either made me laugh, or meant something to me... many of them did both. I may have missed out a few "classic" films (The Matrix, Shawshank Redemption et al) but those films just didn't entertain me... so, there's my list of every single movie that is worth my time on this earth.

Yeah I gota say Antitrust was some comedy....

All that html code at the beginning was so cool


I'll give it good points for that fact that it was for Open Source, but they did really beat the whole "your a 1 or a 0, alive or dead" thing into the ground.


Got stupid after the first two times it was said in the movie, in saying that though I did buy it as a ex-rental from Extra Vision.


Music wasn't bad in it
Massive Attack, etc
