Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Old Boy... Are just some movies that I think are better. Of course you will have no chance persuading the LotR/Star Wars/Dark Knight people either.

I actually hadn't seen it either until a while ago. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. My favorite part was when Bruce Willis fucking samurai sliced that sexual pervert.

Definitely own it, my girlfriend hasn't seen it so I might be watching it again very soon.

Dark Knight was good, but that was vastly overrated by everyone last year.
Star Wars... Lucas took a fat dump on that thing with the most recent three. They're not bad movies, but no where close to the original three. Any humor was over-the-top cheesey (JAR JAR) and he seemed much more content just using up his budget to make a flashy, attention grabbing movie rather than a really good one.

And that's true too. But a lot of new-age Star Wars fans don't see it that way, from what my loser friends told me it caused a big division in the fanbase between old school and new school fans. Kind of like old school TL members and noobs who only like Bisu.

I think the best way to describe it is that the new gen Star Wars just weren't 'epics'. Everything about the first three just seemed grand, larger than life (I think the awesome music had a lot to do with it). Like, no random battles just cuz.
The new gen seemed so filled with shit that just seemed like the CG guys showing off... the Duuku and Yoda fight made me want to get up and punch every faggot that cheered in the theatre when I was there.
In the new gen, the only two fight scenes (or really any scenes) that seemed epic were the Darth Maul fight (might actually be my favor in all six) and the one where Anikin gets defeated and tossed into the lava right before he's scooped up by the Emperor and turned into Vader.
Anywho, /end nerd rant.

Oh god I totally thought that wasn't a fictional movie, but a biblical documentary. Thanks to you now I hate the movie I used to love, thanks for opening my eyes

yeah bisu is just flashy not good imo

Pulp Fiction is awesome but there is no movie as rewatchable and entertaining for me as Fight Club. Still it is without a doubt one of the best movies in the past 20 years.

Movies about animals which can do sports. Last week I saw one about a dog who could play basket ball. This week I saw one about a monkey who could snowboard. Awesome.

But there are some kids who take it to the extreme.

Its kind of funny how much of a cult following this movie has, I actually haven't even ever seen it though... I guess I should go check it out based on some of the comments here.

oh, i see i was beat to it, so, A Bronx Tale.
Yeah Shawshank Redemption. I was baffled when I saw that.

I can agree that Shawshank is some stiff 1994 competition. One of the dumbest decisions of all time that neither one came away with the Oscar that year.

I googled to see what the winner was... no way Forrest Gump gets it over those two. And shit, I don't even know the other two movies that got nominated.
|
well forrest gump is also a very good movie, i dont know why everyone says that either shawshank redemption or pulp fiction should have won best picture that year. i guess its cause tom hanks got the award for leading role..
btw i just realize, léon is also from '94. god what a great year

I think fight club made the most impact on the internet for a movie.
