I actually thought Batman Begins was a better movie. I liked Ledger and all (he was great), but there was a lot more character drama in the first one imo. Then again, I am not really a Batman-fan per sé (even if I liked the Burton-movies), so I might just not find the characters from the comics particularly interesting, if they dont actually bring something on the screen.
And Die Hard is an absolute classic! Not even a guilty pleasure kind-a-thing, but absoletely and objectively a bad-ass flick. Like Reservoir Dogs. And Fight Club.
As for the one who mentioned Failure to Launch. Ouch. I was watching a few movies on dvd with a couple of female friends a few weeks ago, and we started out by watching Goodfellas (GREAT MOVIE - and my choice, obviously), and then proceeded to that piece of crap (their choice). It was beyond doubt the worst movie I've seen in a couple of years, however it was so atrociously bad that we ended up discussing it for weeks afterwards. The kind of movie where we'd be sitting there making jokes ('at least they won't do that'), only to see the jokes actually played out on screen afterwards.

The Dark Knight was a decent action flick. But thats as far as it goes. Its certainly not a top 5 film of all time.
The original Star Wars film is pretty rubbish IMO. Im not keen on Pulp Fiction either. Tarantino is not my idea of a good director at all.

Fair enough it just isn't my type of film at all, i don't mind films with twists and ETC. But as soon as a i found out it was all his imagination, it just felt pointless to me and the ending which im a bit vague on was very weird and i didn't get it at all.

I quite like Pulp Fiction but the rating it gets and ETC i'll never understand, its certainly not one of the best films i've ever seen not even close. I do like the dialogue which is top notch, but when i watched it last time i had to skip some parts.
Especially the parts with Uma Thurman which i find pretty boring, and the part with Bruce Willis's girlfriend that part is just one of the most annoying parts i've ever seen in a movie. But overall it isn't a bad flick i'd rate it 7/10, i think True Romance is a better film. Although even that film has some annoying bits at the end, some of the scenes in that film are legendary.

Fight Club is truly brilliant. You probably have to be of a certain age/mindset to appreciate it.
Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Nah nothing to do with my age Fenster i'll just never like the film, i appreciate films with twists i even appreciate films with mostly talking and no action. But i just don't like Fight Club at all.
It had that pointless feeling to me near the end, and infact what the hell was the ending about anyway can you explain that one to me ?

Yes, a lot of people seem to like it. I dont know what is with Tarantino, I just cant seem to connect with his films. I saw Kill Bill and didnt like that at all.
I dont like A clockwork Orange so much either. I think that is completely overrated too.

Yes, I really like Fight Club. It was especially good on first time viewing. Wasnt expecting the end at all. Its unusual for me to enjoy a film with Brad Pitt in it.

I've never seen A Clockwork Orange but i heard thats a really weird film, with some disturbing scenes in it. So i'll doubt i'll ever watch it because it doesn't sound like my type of film.

I actually quite like the book, but it doesnt translate onto film for me. Kubrick did much better work.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
3 stars for that piece of shit? I don't get it. Pure garbage.

Not just young.. older people i know didn't like it either.
In the end the narrator chooses Marla over Tyler (he's in love with both), so kills Tyler.
Marla and him go on to live happily ever after. Simple as.

I didn't like the film "Phone Booth".
I didn't think that 3/4 of it would be actually shot in a phone booth. I expected a lot more action.

You are a teeny bopper for saying such a thing. :-\
I recommend watching a few Hitchock films. But then you are probably of the "Transformers" generation and that is not a compliment. :rolleyes:
