Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

And he was sitting right next to me when he did it.

I really don't feel like jibber-jabbering about what I didn't like. To be honest, I don't quite know how to sum it up. I just didn't like it. My explanation isn't going to change anybodys view as it's only my opinion anyway.

Seven fricken rules. One of the best thrillers of it's kind easily.

And The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a good one too.

AKA He doesn't have a clue.

What is there to not know about whether I think a performance is subpar or not? To neg rep someone's personal opinion is a little strange to me, but whatever suits you best.

I disagree with your statement and you can't back it up, negative rep deserved. When has it ever been written that the rep system is only for when you agree with someone?

Seven is a masterpiece.

Se7en is superb, one of the top 10 of my favourite 1990s movies. Having said that, i disagree with the other 4 choices on your last post. I preferred Huston's The Maltese Falcon, never really warmed up to Being John Malkovich, Memento is good but ranked way way too high, and i dislike Groundhog Day.

Pretty good list, Plainview. Here's how I like 'em:

Being John Malkovich:
Memento:+
Se7en:
Groundhog Day:
No Country For Old Men:
Braveheart:
Traffic:
City of God:
Requiem for a Dream:
Menace II Society: +
Shaun of the Dead: +
The Usual Suspects:+
Fight Club: +
Return of the Jedi:
Gangs of New York:
Field of Dreams: +

What I noticed is that there's almost no world cinema on there. Is that because you don't like foreign films or simply because you haven't seen that many yet?

Got lots of love for Groundhog Day and Being John Malkovich. Se7en is a really good film but not one I really 'care' about, and I think Memento was good but I've only seen it once and it was like 10 years ago. Really need to watch it again soon


Oh really? Still being fairly new here I'm still trying to catch up with everything. Does Mark have a sister or something on here as well? And does Holly G have a relationship of some kind with someone on here as well?

Sarah F is Mark's daughter. Holly G is Plainview's wife or girlfriend; not sure what. And you will get to know Lime. He's notorious for his sweet talkin'. And if you ever want to watch some super obscure Romanian film, he'll hook you up.

Thanks Brodinski. Nice to learn about the landscape on here. So would it be fair to say that it's almost just 2 households that are keeping these forums going?

3 if you include Yoda and his mom.

I am Plainviews girlfriend, we have 3 kids together

My faveorites on your list so far are, Being Jhon Malkovich,Memento,Brave Heart, City of God and Gangs of New York.

As for foreign films I have pretty bad eyes and have a hard time seeing the writing. Everyone in my life has hounded me to get my eyes checked for years yet I never get around to it. Its funny because my union would actually pay for laser eye surgery. So I would have to be right in front of the tv to read the subtitles.

24. Forrest Gump (1994)

23. Raging Bull (1980)

22. Sunset Blvd (1950)

21. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

20. The Big Lebowski (1998)

I adore Sunset Blvd. and Shawshank. Wonderful films. Really good list so far
