Wolfhorde
11.22.12 | inb4 rambling, overrated/underrated and 'chode' |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | don't be a chode wolf, stay for the rambling. debate is an underrated form of therapy. neutrality is overrated. |
Crymsonblaze

cagedescending
11.22.12 | movies are overrated |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | don't get animal control - or whatever the english equivalent is - called on ya |
Calc
11.22.12 | you know the departed was originally a korean movie right? |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | think it was japanese or chinese. got a laugh out of that too considering his description |
porch
11.22.12 | just as interchangeable as all the other lists |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | Hong Kong - Infernal Affairs |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | pretty much any movie that is an "original idea" was just ripped off some foreign film mainstream america doesn't know about. there are like 20 korean film remakes in the process. |
Guzzo10
11.22.12 | Like The Hungers Games and Let Me In. I knew that The Departed was a remake, but just because its a remake, doesn't mean it isn't an improvement. |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | the departed may be better than its counterpart but def not the other two imo. |
Colliiiin
11.22.12 | Pretty good list, 6 is basically my favourite movie of all time along with Evil Dead 2 and a few others. |
Calc
11.22.12 | i think everything nolan makes that isnt batman is purely original and aronofsky |
Calc
11.22.12 | and dude korea makes some good ass movies... |
Guzzo10
11.22.12 | Nolan is the mixture of Hitchcock, Aronofsky and Kubrick in my opinion. |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | korea makes my fav movies by far. did a quick check of nolan and aronofsky just cause i was curious. the prestige and insomnia were novels, and for aronofsky i believe requiem for a dream was the only one that wasn't an original screenplay. so yea, they had some great original ideas. |
menawati
11.22.12 | so u ever watched the first two godfather movies ? |
porch
11.22.12 | the norwegian insomnia is superior to nolan's
|
theacademy
11.22.12 | list wasn't the worst list ever until i saw that the departed was on it |
cagedescending
11.22.12 | in all seriousness though, 9 and 10 are indeed awesome |
theacademy
11.22.12 | should re-title the list: "5 great movies, 4 good movies, and also the departed" |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | y, what's wrong with the departed? other than the fact that it kicked ass |
theacademy
11.22.12 | here's a list of movies better than the departed
1. jennifer's body
2. a lot of other movies |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | haha, don't be a hater. there can't be that many real reasons why you thought the departed was bad. like i'll say the departed is bad because leonardo decaprio in it and he supports peta. but that just means leonardo decaprio is an idiot |
Calc
11.22.12 | lol jennifers body |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | heard a few other people that say that the movie sucked though. i'm just like -_- |
theacademy
11.22.12 | i didn't say it was bad
and dicaprio was prob the best thing about it |
Calc
11.22.12 | Leo is the greatest thing ever u hush your mouth |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | "here's a list of movies better than the departed
1. jennifer's body"
not directly you didn't |
theacademy
11.22.12 | it's an average re-telling of a fantastic movie |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | although... is that the one where you get to see meghan fox's boobs? |
theacademy
11.22.12 | shit i gg thanksgiving

EyesWideShut
11.22.12 | WHERES E.T.?????!!!!! |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | ahh i see. yea i watched infernal affairs afterwards and i generally like the original movies better but the departed had a lot going for it. my fav all star cast movie |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | have a good thanksgiving sir |
cagedescending
11.22.12 | "it's an average re-telling of a fantastic movie"
wow i'm not literally the only person on earth who liked Infernal more
is this the real life |
porch
11.22.12 | plenty of people prefer infernal affairs, who are you guys associating with |
porch
11.22.12 | departed is alright but i'm fine with never seeing it again |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | miscreants. i can hardly rewatch some of my fav movies more than once or twice. only movie i've seen more than 3 times is in bruges and i could rewatch that again |
cagedescending
11.22.12 | dunno man it just seems like everywhere i go online and irl people are all like "OMG THER DERPERTERD fapfapfap. oh yeh Internal Afflairs i haven't seen it/i saw it and it was 'k kinda boringish tho LOL" |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i can only consider something one of my favorite movies if i can watch it over and over and over
that's why i tend to enjoy entertaining movies more than critically acclaimed movies |
menawati
11.22.12 | don't get the adulation for saving private ryan, opening half hour was brilliant but after that it just became average |
EyesWideShut
11.22.12 | WHERES E.T.?????!!!!! |
Acanthus
11.22.12 | Boring list man, and while I can see many people agreeing with certain bits it's just too agreeable.
Make more fun lists like silentpotato or sonic. |
cagedescending
11.22.12 | i'd rewatch my favourites more if i didn't have so damn many films on my to-watch list... |
Calc
11.22.12 | uhhhh.... |

6. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
7. Snatch

menawati
11.22.12 | Godfather 1 and 2, Goodfellas, Wild Strawberries, Blade Runner, Rear Window, Python Holy Grail, One Flew over the cuckoos Nest, Memento, Fargo, Brazil, Yojimbo are all better than anything on here, and fuck loads more are too |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i can't imagine having never seen a movie more than three times
i've seen back to the future probably upwards of 100 times |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | i dunno what it is. i can rewatch comedy shows over and over again but when it comes to movies i have a once every 1 to 2 year limit. i watched castaway on the moon twice in one week, only movie i've ever done that with |
menawati
11.22.12 | 8 year old kids can watch something over and over again tho without getting bored |

ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | I watched there will be blood like 5 times In a week once I've watched Religulous ALOT. Same with American beauty watched that every day for a week back in high school |
demigod!
11.22.12 | top ten

6. The Big Lebowski

these arent exactly in order from best to worst, with the exception of fight club being the best movie ever they're pretty much interchangable. |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | My actual Movies list is better than this one also |
Funeralopolis
11.22.12 | i like adventure time |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i watch back to the future literally anytime i see it on
and usually 4 or 5 times a year besides that |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | ahh yea. dark knight rises leaked last week and i kinda want to watch it, but then all the scenes come back to me and i feel like it won't offer anything worthwhile |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | I downloaded it last night bluray 1080p also it's gonna look great. Crysmon have you seen funny games? |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i have no desire at all to watch tdkr |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i haven't seen funny games but i know the basic gist |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | yea it was pretty disappointing. i liked inception a lot better the second time around though |
menawati
11.22.12 | back to the future is pretty much perfect at what it tries to be yeah, once was enough for me tho |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | eh 100+ still isn't enough for me |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | yeah inception is the only nolan movie i like
though i haven't seen the prestige |
demigod!
11.22.12 | tdkr rises was pretty good i thought
has some really stupid points and got a bit contrived at part but overall it was good |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | yea, it had my high expectations and being the third in a trilogy going against it. do think it was one of the better thirds in a trilogy though. i liked return of the king but thought it was really long and drawn out. check out the prestige crymson, i liked that movie alot. haven't seen it in like 5 years though |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | i liked tdkr besides the major holes at the end but i still very much enjoyed it. and crysmon watch funny games its brilliant |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | prestige is amazing |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | yeah i'll check it out
i really dislike christian bale but i really love hugh jackman so maybe i'll enjoy it |
demigod!
11.22.12 | has anyone else seen Memento? I watched that because everyone said it was great and hollly shit it was boring. Christopher Nolan is pretty overrated as a director. |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | yeah i didn't like memento at all
or insomnia really, though i thought robin williams was good in it |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | yea, i like nolan movies but i feel like he's terrible at pacing his movies. tdkr pace first half of the movie was amazing but goes to absolute shit after he gets thrown into the pit |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | i love nolan i loved following, batman begins, dark knight, tdkr, inception and insomnia was a good flick and memento is a bit overrated its not boring its just lazy writing but he didnt write it his brother did |
DickFountain
11.22.12 | Fight Club best movie ever? lol |
demigod!
11.22.12 | i just could not give a shit about the character at all lmao
and yea man Fight Club rules. |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | demigod have you seen Warrior? or brick? |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | fight club is a classic cult movie for a reason its brilliant |
jdennis31
11.22.12 | dickfountain laying down that wisdom with absolutely no contribution. most of these movies are good. individualism for the sake of individualism is a retarded notion |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | dickfountain probably like twilight and Avatar |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | i do like fight club but it's one of those movies that i would be fine never seeing again |
demigod!
11.22.12 | @Viral nope but i haven't really seen all that many movies. |
ViralOblivion
11.22.12 | if u have netflix watch those |
demigod!
11.22.12 | i have shitty Canadian netflix and they probably aren't there. |
menawati
11.22.12 | I spose it depends how you define best.
Something like 'Werckmeister Harmonies' is a classic work of art but there's no fucking way i'd ever watch it again.
Whereas a throwaway piece of pulp can be the sort of thing you want to see again and again for fun. |
Crymsonblaze
11.22.12 | the way i see it: if it doesn't derive entertainment, it isn't good |
Zehan
11.22.12 | 1,2 and 4 are all classics. I'd also add Inception, The Shawshank Redemption, and the Toy Story's (for nostalgia and being the best animated trilogy ever) |
theacademy
11.23.12 | i can recite jennifer's body line for line perfectly.
i have seen the following movies 30 times or more:
