Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Something tells me it'll be better than IMDB's top 250.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Great banner, and you even got Requim for a dream on it :up:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

You better do this one fast, or else we'll end up with a Cobpyth and Godoggo 2.0. :D

Looking forward to the list! :up:

Looking forward to this; hopefully there won't be any Sci-Fi on it:D

Seriously, most Top Films list I've seen on MoFo are better than the IMDB 250. Even honeykid's.

Hopefully there will only be the slobs. ;)

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Looking forward to this Slob. 250 movies wow, this is going to take some time.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Dang 250 is quite a tall order. Quite interested in seeing what you come up with!

Quoted for truth. :)

Forgive my caption spelling on the images, I was concentrating of the images too much. :blush:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Seen all three but I don't remember Critters or Enemy At The Gate much. Virgin Sucides was okay for me, with Dunst being the best aspect by far.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Nice layout by the way. I want to come up with something nice for my next 100, which I will probably do next year.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

+1 for the layout! Because in relation to the films, so far I haven't seen any of them. :D

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Haven't seen any of the first lot.

Nice layout tho :up:. I always get more attracted to a thread like this with the layout, weird aren't I haha.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Seen Enemy at the Gates and Critters, haven't seen Virgin Suicides. EatG was pretty good, it reminded me of Saving Private Ryan in where it starts with a historical battle then afterwards goes into a more fictional storyline. The Stalingrad scene was really well done.

Critters was a movie I also watched when I was younger, I remember seeing the first 3 but I have trouble differentiating which scenes are from which film.

Also props for the layout, I would like to do one on mine, but unfortunately I don't really know how. :(

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Three films I can get onboard with, though I seem to remember Critters as feeling a little slow the last time I saw it. I've only seen Enemy At The Gate and The Virgin Suicides once, but I remember liking both, especially the latter, which I remember creating a great atmoshpere.

Good start, SFS. :up: It's nice to have you back around the place again. :)

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

The Virgin Suicides seems like a total honeykid film, actually.

I haven't seen any of the first three movies, but out of curiosity, was Critters the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio?

DiCaprio made his debut in Critters 3.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Brick! :up:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've not seen any of the batch either, but +rep on the effort.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

God dam it! The text formatting in photoshop is laggy and turd. :(

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

What Lies Beneath and Bone Collector are both fun movies in my opinion! Good picks.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

The only ones I've seen are The Virgin Suicides and Brick, but I wasn't a fan of either of them.

+ rep :up:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've seen What Lies Beneath and I might've seen Bone Collector but don't remember it. Wasn't too crazy about What Lies Beneath though...

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Rep for Brick and What Lies Beneath.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've not seen any of those, though I have Brick. The Bone Collector is something I've thought I might like in a trashy way. :)

Of that set I have seen Brick :up: and Bone Collector :down:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Rep for the The Virgin Suicides. :yup:

I was going to say I liked Enemy at the Gates until I realized I was confusing it with Behind Enemy Lines. I haven't seen Enemy at the Gates.*

I haven't seen The Virgin Suicides either, but I've always been interested in it.

I like Critters and What Lies Beneath.

I thought The Bone Collector was alright.*

I liked the premise of Brick, but I didn't like the movie.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Not seen any of those either :). I need to start watching more films.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Yeah, haven't seen any of those nine movies, either. :D

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I don't know if I've seen Kelly Heroes or not. I've certainly seen bits of it, 20 minutes here, half and hour there, but I don't know if I've ever sat and watched it all from start to finish. Not seen the other two and no real interest, either.

The Negotiator is one of my guilty pleasure movies. Any time I find it while flipping channels, I just have to watch it.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've seen Rumble in the Bronx, very fun martial-arts movie. Always wanted to see Kelly's Heroes but haven't yet and never heard much about The Negotiator.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Virgin Suicides was fairly decent, same with Bone Collector. Bone Collector isn't great but it is a fun watch.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I don't think I've seen Enemy at the Gates, but it looks and sounds like so many other films, plus the generic title, makes me unsure if I have or not.

Critters is fun. Haven't seen it in ages.

Not a fan of Sofia Coppola, but if forced to watch one of her movies again, I'd go with The Virgin Suicides.

I admired what Brick was going for, but it didn't really work for me.

Much like Enemy at the Gates, The Bone Collector looks and sounds like so many other films that I'm unsure if I've seen it or not. Pretty sure I have, though. Maybe.

I always get Kelly's Heroes and The Dirty Dozen confused.

Never seen Rumble in the Bronx. Most of the Jackie Chan movies I've seen have been his action-comedies (Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, etc.). I'd like to go back and watch his martial-arts movies at some point.

I've seen The Negotiator, but nothing about it stuck out to me.

Anyways, interesting start to the list. I'm really digging the format, if not the films.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've only seen Brick so far, it's a creamy turd of a film...but the other films look fun at least :p


Also...was Kurten Dust a typo or a joke? because I laughed. :D

A typo.:D

I thought The Negotiator was a pretty cool movie.

I'd like to see Kelly's Heroes.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I watched Orphan for the first time the other night and actually enjoyed it. It's not a movie I'd place in my top favourites, but it was a decent enough horror flick. I sort of scene the ending coming but it's was still quite scary.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I really enjoyed Orphan, and Ruins is actually one of those movies that I first put on my IMDb list. It has been there forever, but all the reviews have really thrown me off...

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Not seen either of these. :)

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Triangle is a great film. I was blown away by the ending. Didn't like The Faculty, though.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Some great choices so far slob :up: . My personal favourites being Brick and Triangle.

Triangle and Orphan are terrific, and I really liked The Faculty.

The Ruins was barely ok for me, and I never watched Outland.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I didn't care for Outland, but my mum really liked it. I've probably not seen it since I was about 10. You know I'm a fan of Triangle and I like The Faculty, too. Not as big a fan as some here, though.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Not seen any of these. But I'm liking the formatting a lot.

ETA: Whoops. Actually I've seen The Negotiator and The Faculty, though I remember next to nothing about the latter. The Negotiator is a really fun action flick.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Faculty was pretty good. I haven't seen it for a while but I remember likeing it a lot as teen.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I like Triangle and Orphan

Same goes for me.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Orphan really surprised me. Much better than I expected it to be. I know some people hate the twist, but I dug it.

The Ruins had some very impressive gore, but overall I thought the movie pretty much sucked.

Not seen Outland, but it sounds fun. Not seen Triangle, either, although I've heard good things. Hopefully the highly praised twist doesn't get spoiled for me before I get a chance to watch it.

I haven't seen The Faculty in many, many years, but I remember enjoying it.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

+ for A History of Violence.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

The only one I've seen from the last set is A History of Violence. I liked it but was hoping to love it. I still think I could with another viewing.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Dead End I've wanted to see for the last couple of years simply because of Ray Wise. I don't remember Prince Of Darkness being any good at all. Is if fun good for you or do you think it's good? I've not seen it since I hired it back in the 80's and watched it just that once. I literally have no memory of watching it and just the feeling that it was crap. Strangely, I remember renting it because I was excited to see it. :D I liked A History Of Violence and should give it another watch. I didn't like it as much as many others here did, though I still liked it more than Eastern Promises.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

A History of Violence is a relly great movie.

Now this list appears to be more up my street; I'm not envisaging too much art house popping up.

Favourite film so far, and by a distance, is The Faculty. I'm one of those people on here who really loves it. Not sure I can say why exactly I love it so much but have done ever since the first time I saw it. It's got one of the most incredible and unique casts I've ever seen. I also really like Brick, Enemy at the Gates, Rumble in the Bronx and The Negotiator. There were so many great action films and thrillers in the 90s that the sheer number means some are always going to get forgotten and overlooked, and I think The Negotiator is certainly one of them. Cracking film.

Also quite a few films I fancy seeing at some point. Virgin Suicides and History of Violence I've wanted to watch for a while. Bone Collector is just the kind of fun thriller I like so think I'd enjoy it. And I'd like to see Prince of Darkness one day just because I like/love a great many of John Carpenter's films

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Great list i am not huge Sci-Fi but anyway

Damn, haven't seen neither of those. Only like 10 minutes of Side Effects. :/

Oh, bout that previous set... I love A History of Violence, fantastic film. And I really wanna watch Dead End!

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Side Effects is something I think I might like. It sounds OTT silly.

I've never seen Breakdown, but Side Effects was pretty good, and I love Galaxy Quest.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Not seen Breakdown or Side Effects but wouldn't mind seeing either. However Galaxy Quest I absolutely adore. Terrific little film

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I've neither seen Galaxy Quest nor Breakdown. Side Effects was not bad.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Only one I've seen of the last six is Breakdown. It was okay, to me it was one of those average action-thriller films.

Always wanted to see A History of Violence.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Aside from A History of Violence, which I liked a lot, I can't comment much on the actual films here. Great layout though, as usual. It's quite similar to what I have in mind for the 60s list :)

Breakdown I liked a lot, nice to see it show up.

I also liked Side Effects and Galaxy Quest.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

that would be the movie Gamer. Really good movie.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Not seen Dead End or Prince of Darkness.

A History of Violence is a movie I need to revisit. I liked it and I thought the performances in it were very strong, but I'm kinda like cricket in the sense that I felt that the film contained many elements that should make me love it, yet I felt kinda . . . underwhelmed.

Galaxy Quest is a lot of fun and an example of a parody done right. I haven't seen Breakdown since I was ten years old, but I liked it back then. Side Effects was decent.

I'm gonna have to abandon the elaborate layout because it's just gonna take to long.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Just thinking of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil makes me :lol:

Scream is awesome too. :up:

Hurry up with this list! :p

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Big rep for Scream. Really entertaining slasher classic :)

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Haven't seen Vampires, didn't like Scream, really enjoyed Tucker & Dale (several times). :)

What he said^^ :D

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

+ rep for Vampires (which I've always really liked) and Scream, which is of course, brilliant. I liked Dale & Tucker... But it was too much comedy than I like in my horror.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I love Chopper. Saw it in a tiny cinema back when it was released, Eric Bana's first film. Good choice SFS. Panic Room's a pretty good film too.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Rep because Chopper is just that good. :cool:

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Chopper is terrific.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Ew, i hated Panic Room. Haven't seen Kill List and haven't even heard of Chopper. I might check it out, i like Eric Bana.

No. No, no, no. :nope:


Seriously. No.



:nope:



Despite that, I liked The Descent. :up: Not great or anything, but good.

Nice, I've seen all of the last 9 entries.

I'm a big Kill List fan; it would make my top 50. I think it's tense and unique, and one of those rare movies that stays in your head. It's certainly not for everyone but I think it's brilliant.

I love Chopper too; Eric Bana is absolutely brilliant in it.

I love Panic Room-an absolute blast.

The Descent is certainly one of the best modern horror movies.

There's Something About Mary is certainly one of the best modern comedies.

I like Dale and Tucker just fine, but don't get the huge love it gets.

It's been said a million times, but f**k High Tension. The worst ending I've ever seen ruined a very good horror movie.

I liked Vampires and Scream, but need to see them again.

My Cousin Vinny is one of the funniest movies ever made.

Midnight Run was a fun movie.

BTW, the picture for The Family Man isn't showing up.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

My Cousin Vinny and Midnight run are two of my favourite comedies and just films in general :up: . Austin Powers is ok as well.

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

Oh behave!

Re: The Sci-Fi Slob's Top 250 Greatest Films
 

I liked Elysium when it was in theatres. It needs a rewatch, though. About five years ago, the Austin Powers movies were one of my favourite movies, but that has changed a lot now. Anyway, Heather Graham is extremely gorgeous in it. Haven't seen the other ones.

Big thumbs up for Midnight Run!!!
