    It is definitely an interesting movie - real eye-opener for its time - but I wouldn't consider it the "best," or even in the top 10 of all time. Those spots are reserved for movies like The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, Gone with the Wind, Star Wars, Casablanca, etc, etc. However, with movies being an art form, it's all a matter of opinion.
  2. Thought Citizen Kane was lame and COMPLETELY overrated, and that Casablanca was just pretty good. Not necessarily overrated, especially for its time, but it honestly did nothing for me.

    Admittedly, these movies are VERY dated. I was just speaking objectively.

    Best movie (i.e. my FAVOURITE movie) of all-time: PULP FICTION.

    The thing with movies like The Usual Supsects is that their suspense is what makes them so great and so I don't find them as good the second time around. I thought the same thing about Momento - great movie but not as good after a re-viewing.


    Memento is absoutely great. A movie that I got SO into and was so interested in.

    My favourite movie of all-time too.

    "I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU!"
  6. @Rum: Pulp Fiction is so expertly weaved and told, that even people who can't stand Tarantino's style have to admit that it's a very well-presented film.

    @Kieran: I completely agree. Memento gives me MORE every time I watch it, because I start picking up things about Leonard that I hadn't before- real clues that Nolan had left to enjoy after knowing the ending.


  7. I can appreciate that one would like Momento better the second time if you are considering the "process" of making/editing the movie. I was just so floored by the whole concpet the frist time around that my "juices" (sorry if that seems to be an inappropriate term) were flowing as much the second time around.
  8. Does anyone like Guy Ritchie? Snatch is such an hilarious film, and I'd advise anyone to watch it. Revolver on the other hand was a mind-fuck, didn't know what was going on.
  9. It might not give you the adrenaline that you had the first time (on a rewatch), but it opens the door for it to immediately become a very genius movie, seeing it from a totally different angle. That's what makes it a good movie- form vs. information. Form makes you want to revisit it. Information is just a movie you see and enjoy for what it is. Gives you the information.

    Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is a solid flick.

    I also liked that one he did with Madonna (I'm just kidding on that one!)

    I don't think I've seen Revolver. I've listened to it, however. (Wow, two lame jokes in one post.)
