ER

Intolerance

Huge movie, and small-minded people trip over their own feet in condemning it in response to TBOAN. I rate it among the greatest classics of the art form.

There's also a cool part of LA Noir when you can visit the decaying set of the Babylon sequence, if anyone's played that.

I think I read that the plaster of paris sets for Babylon from that film were visible decaying in Hollywood for years.

>Most people don't like Woody Allen, because of his New York sophisicate humor that is a completely different level."
 exactly, that's the same thing that i was getting at in my earlier post in this thread. i think people just hate woody allen because his humor is smarter than they are and it requires people to use their brains which is something a lot of people don't want to do!

I don't like Woody Allen because his fans remind me of Rick & Morty fans. Just because we don't "like" his comedy doesn't mean that we don't "get" his comedy. Heck, I didn't like Andrew Dice Clay's comedy either yet I got it just fine. It just didn't make me laugh, that's all. Maybe because I am too smart for that type of comedy and Woody Allen fans are simple-minded folk that are easily amused, is all?  :question:

Second rule is, 'Be nice to mommy'
Third rule is, 'Don't talk to commies'
Fourth rule is, 'Eat kosher salamis'

Now THAT is a great example of rude.  Nobody liked Andrew Dice Clay, he was...  I don't know who Rick & Morty are, but I expect I'd remind you of them.  Simple minded as I am.   :teddyr:

Not a Woody fan. But he has his fans. I just don't get it. I reckon I'm 'simple minded'.

No.  It's the "simple-minded" that are Woody Allen fans.  Ergo, you are a genius.

I don't know... Woody is just a creeper.
And yeah- I have no clue who Rick and Morty are either.
I think it's a cartoon?
I just looked it up. It is a cartoon.  :lookingup:

voltron

A SERBIAN FILM!!!!!!! I don't get why some people have such a disliking for it.  :question:
"Nothin' out there but God's little creatures - more scared of you than you are of them"  - Warren, "Just Before Dawn"

Xenomorpheus

Alien Resurrection, Sublime and Freddy Got Fingered just to name a few. Honestly, I don't even consider Sublime to be a bad film but It's mighty underrated.

Troll 2
Turkish Star Wars - more so with English subtitles
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

I love Troll 2 lol

I don't even consider TROLL 2 that bad, as a matter of fact, I actually enjoyed it, it's delightfully cheesy. Tt just got reputation and everybody repeats like parrots, sadly.
