I watched the Crow last night again, after almost 10 years. It felt pretty average! Movies like these are released every now and then. There is nothing "special" about it. It is just a good movie for me.

Another year that comes close and is good, which i would take over 1984, at least, is 2010.

1. The King's Speech.
2. Black Swan.
3. Inception.
4. Toy Story 3.
5. The Counterfeiters.
6. The Social Network.
7. True Grit.
8. 127 Hours
9. The Kids Are All Right
10. Winter's Bone

These are all the Oscar nominations from that year ranked in order of my preference. There may have been other good movies released that year. Just cant recall.

No Killing Fields or Amadeus. At least, it should knock out Gremlins or The Last Starfighter or Revenge of the Nerds.

haha yea, i didn't include some of the more "scholarly" picks from 1984 such as
Amadeus
Blood Simple
Paris, Texas
Once Upon a Time in America

the only one i've seen of those is OUATIA, and while it was a good movie, it was overly depressing for my taste

and a cult classic i've yet to see from that year as well, This is Spinal Tap
haven't seen Killing Fields either

i did like the King's Speech a lot, from your 2010 list. That one was great

Give Counterfeiters a try. You would just love it.

I think I agree. There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men are both brilliant, and I have still got to see The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (got it recorded). Then there's a handful of other great films like Ratatouille, Hot Fuzz, Zodiac, 3:10 to Yuma and Death Proof. And then finally there's a nice few comedies too, I love The Simpsons Movie, then there's Knocked Up, Superbad, Blades of Glory, Juno and Lars and the Real Girl although the last two are more dramas than comedy.

Assassination of Jesse James... is a gorgeous and brilliant western.

Spinal Tap is overrated, imo. Not bad, though.

2007 also has Gone Baby Gone, American Gangster, Reign Over Me and The Bucket List

Yup... Now that you mention it, they were good movies too. I think i have seen Gone baby gone. Just cant remember the plot or the story line.

Believe it or not, I've only seen 4 films from 1994, and I only really genuinely like one of them.

1. The Client
2. The Mask
3. Dumb and Dumber
4. Forrest Gump

I still really want to see The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction, and to a lesser extent, Natural Born Killers, Clear and Present Danger, The Hudsucker Proxy, and True Lies.

You are missing something in life... when you haven't watched Shawshank!

Give it a shot!

I did...and it wasn't a great movie. Not a bad film, by any stretch, but it's pretty manipulative stuff. It drifts into sentimentality a little too much for my taste, and some of it is downright cliche. That said, I enjoyed some aspects of it and it had a couple of great scenes in it.

I guess it depends a lot on the preference.

For me, it is something that cannot be matched as a movie ever again (see the difference in opinion?)! Watched it over 40 times, still don't get bored. Whenever i feel a little depressed or sad, i just put the DVD in and wala.... i feel a little lighter!

Who knows... Frightened Inmate No. 2 may just fall in love with it or may think its another dull movie.

..and boring. :P

The ending is pretty powerful!

Shawshank is a movie which you see with your ears not eyes!

Still to this day it is considered as one of the biggest disaster of Oscar history along with Taxi Driver not winning it in its year.

I am pretty open to everyone having their opinion, but when it comes to shawshank if I hear someone say its not the best or not there favorite it bothers me but I can handle that, but when someone tries to say that its really not a good movie...that completely baffles me...but hey that's why I am here to be baffled...but seriously if anyone badmouths shawshank again..I'll have them cast down with the sodomites...they'll think they've been F#%&#D by a train. LOL just kidding Sedai I love opposing opinions and thinking outside the box...I just "HOPE" that one day you may change your mind about the greatest film ever made...I "HOPE" that one day it will be possible for Hollywood to make movies like shawshank again...CHEERS!!
