tonyh29 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've got to say with Big Lebowski that it gets better on second (or more) viewing imo where as there will be blood I think I dislike more every time i see it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Gangs of New York The Deer Hunter Id personally say Gangs of New York was underrated. I've heard many people say it was Scorsese's worst film but personally I really liked it. Daniel Day Lewis' performance was one of the best ive seen in my lifetime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best film of the 00's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Shutter island is a great book, works so much better and has a much better ending Agree about Bourne, up is purely the opening sequence which IMO is as good as anything Pixar have done, the rest of it is just ok, the lion king I think is more down to it's significance, at the start of disneys 90s golden age after a run of rubbish films (I'll have to check that) Edited November 21, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2014 As for No Country, I wasn't aware that it had any sort of reputation. It has a very, very good reputation (rightly so, it's a **** masterpiece imo) and then there's the 4 Academy Awards, two Golden Globes and it being critically acclaimed by the majority except the rightful opinion of Zatman Fair enough. I'm not that much of a film buff (as should be obvious), and I never take too much notice of awards, etc. I thought No Country was a very faithful adaptation of a good novel, no more, no less.

mjmooney Posted November 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good call on Quadrophenia. I'm a huge fan of The Who, but I thought the film was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Apocalypse now Brilliant start, but it's boring after that and the stuff at the end with Brando is garbage It's basically word-for-word the highly-rated literary classic Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, including "The horror, the horror" (in case you didn't know this already). So yeah I agree. Garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good call on Quadrophenia. I'm a huge fan of The Who, but I thought the film was dreadful. Quadrophenia is close to the 'so bad its good' category. But I don't think anyone does 'rate' it do they? Lots of people enjoy it, I enjoy it once every few years, 'where'd the bird go?' is oft quoted and who can resist spotting all the modern cars and shopfronts and clothes etc along Brighton seafront. It's a laugh and a pleasant jog down memory lane. It's a snapshot, we still had municipal baths but people were shagging in the bath at house parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 There's a shitload to be honest isn't there? But to me it shows why I love movies so much. One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. I agree. You've named Mean Streets as overrated but I take almost the opposite view in that anything Scorsese made after 1983 (such as Casino & Goodfellas) is inferior to the films he made before then (Kind of Comedy, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets) At the same time I can see why someone would prefer the more polished later films.

maqroll Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Usual suspects. 2 hours of boring build up to a twist that would have been amazing if someone did it in real life, but not in a movie. I liked it on the first watch, but it's totally unwatchable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
