But yeah, Sandlot, Remember the Titans, White men Cant Jump, and Rudy are essential to me. Martoranos hasd a raging hard-on for Raging Bull. If it's not Ragign Bull blasting out of the speakers it's Godfather. |

I don't care if regular jackoffs can't watch a movie if it doesn't have an action scene every ten minutes, The Wrestler rules hard |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | not that they can't watch it. you can enjoy the wrestler but still like fighter/warrior more. it's not like they completely left out character development and a plotline in both movies... it just wasn't the focus |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | @riffoclock yah, the cliche stuff was really annoying, definitely don't think it's oscar worthy but the fight scenes were badass. mma fans seem to hate the movie because of the ridiculous knockouts tho |

02.26.12 | lol, not that the oscars really hold much weight, but i can't believe the wrestler didn't win in 2009... slumdog millionaire wtf |

jdennis31
02.26.12 | but i still haven't gotten around to watchin it yet cause i'm pretty sure i'll be disappointed after watching the first version |
iglu
02.26.12 | @Balls, havenĀ“t seen either but i wanted to see that, I guess i should see the original isntead? |
Trebor.
02.26.12 | Inception is like the 4th highest rated movie ever on IMDB and the Transformers movies have positive ratings, so you can't really trust IMDB all the time |

02.26.12 | @riff that's surprising. i'm thinkin you're the first person i've ever spoken to on the internet or in real life that didn't like fight club. thought social network was pretty good too |
Trebor.
02.26.12 | Rosie O'donnel didn't like Fight Club
She even spoiled the twist on her show before the movie came out
What a cunt |
iglu
02.26.12 | I was actually watching the social network the other day and realized its the same girl |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | @trebor17 eh i have mixed feelings about inception. watched it 3 times when it first came out, freakin loved it, but wouldn't be able to force myself to watch it again. but i mean, a large portion of my favorite movies are in the imdb top 250 so i give it a little weight |
iglu
02.26.12 | Well i never had high expectations for the social network |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | @trebor i already hated rosie o'donnell, and that has moved her up my list haha. i woulda been so pissed if she had ruined the movie for me back then |
Trebor.
02.26.12 | Inception is a great movie, but it's definitely not top 20 all time material, nor is it nearly as complicated or sophisticated as most regular jackoffs make it out to be |

02.26.12 | How can you talk about sports films and not mention Miracle? C'mon.
Mystery, Alaska is another pretty cool hockey film too as Angel mentioned. |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | Well i never had high expectations for the social network [2] yah, i thought it was just another super hyped up movie... which it was... but it exceeded my expectations |
Trebor.
02.26.12 | The Social Network is my favorite Fincher film |
jdennis31
02.26.12 | @trebor17 yah... i didn't understand all the jokes about people thinkin they were clever for enjoying inception... i just really liked leonardo decaprio, till i found out he was a huge peta supporter, and joseph gordon levitt is probably my favorite actor right now. plus that jgl fight scene in the hotel was badass. |
wacknizzle
02.26.12 | The Social Network is one of those movies that's only good the first time u watch it, it's really nothing special. |
Trebor.
02.26.12 | I've seen it like 10 times and still love it |
wacknizzle
02.26.12 | Thats cool, thats just how it was for me. Does anyone still watch Requiem For A Dream? I saw it a few times and then never wanted to see that horrible nightmare again. |

I only ever come across the shitty censorsed version which isn't worth watching I've heard |

02.26.12 | Yeah, its a movie u should def see but not one u will want to see more than a few times.
I've been trying to watch Party Monster, everyone told me it was really fagish but I saw the last quarter of it and didn't see anything that bad and the plot was cool so i've been trying to watch the whole thing. |

02.26.12 | I don't watch sports movies. I already saw them all. Underground team/athlete tries to succeed despite a handicap or untraditional method. Most people tell them they can't do it. They rise above it anyway. Climax: championship game of some sort. Family film: they win. Popular with critics: they don't win, but come away as better people. |
WeepingBanana
02.26.12 | right cause caddyshack, white men can't jump, the sandlot and kingpin totally follow that format... and if you're trying to say that Hoosiers is a bad movie then you're officially bad at movies |

02.27.12 | Just because a movie isn't on here doesn't mean it sucks. I loved The Wrestler, it just didn't make it.
Warrior was full of cliches, but the performances and the fight scenes rose above those cliches. The movie was full of emotion, and it actually felt real. |
