Anyone else think Scarface is really overrated?

 

Scarface blows.

 

Worst Movie I've Ever Seen-Dumb and Dumberer

 

I laughed at that one and didn't care for the first one, but then again I also found

Forest Gump and the Matrix, very boring.

 

Kickboxing (Van Dam is amazing in that movie)

It's kickboxer actually I think. Besides Bloodsport is a way better Van Dam flick.

 

I'll try to just add new ones to this thread.

 

The Shinning

Philadelphia

Demolition Man

Shawshank Redemption (already mentioned)

Awakanings

Dead Poets Society

Baseketball

Army of Darkness

Full Metal Jacket

Tombstone

The Party.........

Hey, Nuke,

 

From what I've read around here, I assume you're overseas somewhere defending our country. If no one has said this recently, THANK YOU. God bless you and protect you. You are a true American hero. Be careful, and take care.

 

And for the record, I've been to Cleveland twice - and I am so sorry I ever was there. What a dump. I felt like showering for an hour after both trips.

 

So I agree - NUKE CLEVELAND. :headbang

 

:usa :usa :usa

Believe it or not, I have NEVER seen those Boris Karloff flix in their entirety.  I know it's canon....but still.  I think hippie child Rose McGowan looks uncannily like Whale's favorite actress Elza something-semething, tho.

 

When you say "James Whale" you know what comes to mind?  That unforgettable portrayal by one of my faves Sir Ian Mckellan in Gods and Monster.

That's right - Elsa Lanchester was Whale's fav actress. She played both Mary Shelly and the Bride (credited as "?") in the film.

 

James Whale was the Tim Burton of his day, and the relationship between Frankenstein and teh Bride is very much like that of Burton's Batman and Batman Returns. Burton was kind of bored of Batman and put a lot of his personal touches on teh second on eto keep it creatively interesting or him.

10 american flix that I like a lot:

 

-Godfather Twology

-Apocalypse Now

-Dr. Strangelove

-Chinatown

-Clockwork Orange

-Fargo

-Pulp Fiction

-Annie Hall

-Glengary Glen Ross

-Dogday Afternoon

-Lawrence of Arabia

-Silence of the Lambs

 

man, this is ONE evil thread.

The thing is, all of the above were made in

 

the early 60s

early-mid 70

early-mid 90s

 

That leaves almost 100 years of cinema unaccounted for. Hmm.

NOt even the best basketball movie ever.

 

You can't top Hoosiers.  Period.

Excellent point.

Baggio, I like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't usually make a best movie poll.

This is kinda off topic, but do any of you guys remember a movie about a kidnapped little boy named Alex. His mother was a divorced and they had a gay housekeeper named Philip. There was underpants found under the sink with blood on them but the case was never solved for like 7 years when the detective was out with his own son and somehow saw a kid that looked like Alex and it ended up being him? I think there was a lady that was sure she was seeing this little boy in her neighborhood who kept calling the police year after year but they didn't believe her cause she was kind of crazy..? Does anyone remember the movie or the name of it?
