Tombstone is the king

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Of course it is. It's not a masterpiece like, say, Southland Tales, but it surely is the king.

Of what I have no idea.... Dog turds, perchance?


But then it's difficult to argue with you since you have completely neglected the "and why?" part of the assignment. :indifferent:

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Southland Tales need never be uttered in this fine thread again. That 2 1/2 hour long drip o **** need NEEEEVER be mentioned with the likes of such great films discussed. Damn even Biodome deserves existence, but Southland Tales is like cinematic Cthullhu "That which should not be!". The Rock and Sarah Michelle Gellar might have made it big one day, but this career killing albatross ended that dream. Buffy wept.

Yes DeathDealer! Tombstone deserved at least one vote.

Destiny choosing which ones better by which one you'd watch next makes more sense than any argument Ive made so far in this thread.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Well according to DeathDealer's favorites list, it's the second-best movie he's ever seen. So back off!

Hey, maybe a pairing of Tombstone and Southland Tales would finally net that horrible excuse for a Western some real votes?

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

hehe OK!

I don't want to irritate you, but what in the hell is Southland Tales?

It must really suck. I'll go look it up.


Sorry!

I have to edge it out to Caddyshack, but just barely.

Hey, People picking one movie over another...

...and why?

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

oh yeah:

Well C.S. has a soft spot for me...I mean Bill and golf together...
It is tough to describe. I am not saying that B.S. is not great...well yes I am I guess. B.S. is good, C.S. is great.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Well: I got soul, but I am not a soldier.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

I would go for Caddyshack, but that's only because I haven't seen Blazing Saddles, much to the chagrin of a few people.

So, don't count my vote since it's unfairly biased.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Blazing Saddles, for sure, if only for this (I sometimes like being politically-incorrect):

I still think that Holds is correct concerning other Brooks' movies. Holds won't even go this far, but I may even like The Twelve Chairs better than Blazing Saddles, but Saddles it remains.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

I'd have to give it to Blazing Saddles.

Yes, Caddyshack is funny and irreverent and all, but Blazing Saddles is immensely quotable and has some of the funniest damn scenes ever. And besides, I can't stand Chevy Chase.

Oh, and I agree with Mark and Holden that BS is not Brook's best movie (Young Frankenstein and The Producers are definitely better, and The Twelve Chairs, while not as funny, is right up there with YF as one of the best crafted movies Brooks ever made).

This isn't to say that I dislike Caddyshack: I think it's very funny; Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, and Ted Knight are all just great, but it's hard to argue with all the hilarious bits in Blazing Saddles.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

As I have to pick one, it's Caddyshack. I don't have a clear recolection of either one, but I do remember that I thought Blazing Saddles was shockingly unfunny, whereas I think I laughed a couple of times at Caddyshack. To be honest, I think I'd rather watch Swedish Chef watching Biodome than either of them.

Silence Of The Lambs or The Exorcist

People have assumed The Exorcist to be the scariest thing ever put on film. For me Silence Of The Lambs seemed more realistic, and so more scary. The first night I was on my own after moving out of my parents house. I was in Tampa all alone, no furniture, and bored. So I went to see this film (SOTL) that I knew nothing about. After the flick walking to my car Im looking over my shoulder, and so was everyone else walking out of the theatre. SOTL got a nationwide fearful reaction not sen since JAWS like I was Hopkins scared us all, absolutely reinvented his career, and Foster sold for him like a champ. Demme never has been as good since. Friedkins flick IMO has been passed up by ....sadly...a more realistic horror film.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Ah, now this is interesting. I don't really care for either film.

Meh, I'll give it to The Silence of the Lambs then.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

I'd say Silence of the Lambs. Frankly, good as it is, I never found The Exorcist to be all that scary. Maybe it's because I read the book (which was truly terrifying) before I saw the movie.

Silence, on the other hand, is exquisitley crafted, with standout performances by all involved. It's a first-rate film, and scary as hell.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

I like them both (although not quite as much as most people), but I wasn't scared by either of them. I enjoyed Silence of the Lambs a tad bit more, and it's much more well-crafted in every aspect than The Exorcist. So, Silence of the Lambs.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

Silence of the Lambs. The characters were more interesting. The acting was better.

Re: Which movie is better, and why?!
 

I like both movies, but Silence of the Lambs excels over The Exorcist in every way. The scene where Starling is completely in the dark scared me more than any other scene in any other movie. Jody Foster nailed it.
