    Also Crash, that was a great movie too! Million Dollar Baby as well.

    Anyway, I'm probably about to remove any credibility my opinion has, but the most over rated movie of all time without a shadow of a doubt is STAR WARS!!

    It's not that it's a bad movie, or the sequals for that matter, but how on earth it creates the hysteria and crazed following it has is beyond me. It's consistently voted best movie of all time in countless polls yet I just don't get it! It's just average at best.

    Maybe if I was a little older and grew up watching those movies over and over I'd have more appreciation for it. Who knows...
    What was so good about Fight Club ? most of the story was made up in his head, so it seemed pointless. It was a boring film with a weird ending, i think alot of people like it because it has a cult following. But really what is so good about it ? you tell me.
    The fact that,it is in his own head is what makes it cool. We all have a moment where we want to do something that isnt societaly acceptable. The lead character creates a side life, where he can do those things. He realizes most of what you strive for, if its just things, is BS. But he cant let it go, so he creates an alternate him to leave the system

    Yes but it doesn't make for an interesting or good movie, it just seems most of the film is pointless. And the ending was just damn right weird, i just thought most of the film was garbage.

    Brad Pitt was overrated the movie was boring and in the end pointless. And i haven't seen the film in a few years and i don't plan to watch it again, but don't they blow that place up ? what the hell is that all about ?

    The whole thing is an analogy, he fights against his own worse,but much more fun worst instincts. It works for me,but it is a weird film,so if it doesnt work for you,thats cool to.

    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.

    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
