I love ita movie for our generation, i am sure old farts like sodapopinski would have a seizure if he watched it but nonetheless a great art piece of a movie

Quote:

-The Big Lebowski = The worst Coen movie I've seen.
once again you prove that finns have no sense of humour, perfect portraiale of The Dude and great quoatability

Quote:
-Miller's Crossing = Solid but VERY VERY overrated.
I tend to agree, never really mesmorized me

Quote:
-Godfather 1-2 = Amazing. 5 years ago I though they were boring but just rewatched them and found the greatness in them.

-Apocalypse Now = The greatest Vietnam war movie and one of the best movies ever.

-Citizen Kane = Not the best movie EVER. But definitely one of the greatest movies on this planes.

-Once Upon A Time In America Again it's been 4-5 years since I watched it, it was good back then but I think I really love it the next time I see it. (next week)
Yeah great movies, not totally sold on Once Upon a time but nonetheless.

Quote:
-Heat Watched it for the 3. time last week, and it's easily one of the greatest movies I've seen. I just love everything in it. The last scene is one of the best ever. Neil and Vincent holding hands and Moby's God Moving Over The Face Of Waters playing on the background. Fucking beautiful.
No argument here, for me it is not the fianl scene it is a bunch of others, the shootout is action-porn, seen it countless times now

you like Ronin?

Quote:
-Dune = Best Lynch movie. Many people hate it but I find it very interesting and brilliant.
I take it you haven't read the books? the sci-fi channels miniseries is way better check it out

Quote:
-Magnolia = Good. Nothing more.
It is a grave miscarriage of movie justice that Julliaqne Moore didn't get the nod for an Oscar for her role in Magnolia, I love this movie, people say it is a short cuts clone but i disagree I found Magnolia to be twice the movie short cuts is



Quote:

-Ben Stiller can it quits. I hate the fucking guy.
Tropic Thunder was crap.
Wouldn't call it crap but Pineapple Express is THE comedy this year, too few laughs even if I liked the cameos

Quote:
-Home Alone 1 > Home Alone 2
Of course, first one is a classic but for christmas movies I still hold the Griswalds higher then anything else, and Die Hard

Quote:
-Pacino, De Niro and Marlon Brando are the greatest actors ever. Period. Can you argue with that?
tbh Pitt and Norton are getting up there

also oldschool I love Bill murray and Gene Hackman

I want to challenge your sense of humor

do you understand Swedish?

go to piratebay and download Torsk På Tallin, heard of it or seen it even?

also some Wes Anderson movies, Rushmore in particular

For the fans, though, Bridges is 59 today.

There's only one mistake in Heat-shootout.
They are constantly firing in full-automatic.

I'm army trained, and shot hundreds of rounds with assault rifles. You can't fucking hit anything if you shoot like that.
Dude do you have the DVD with the extra material they are frekkin trained by Andy McNabhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_macnab#Post-SAS_work



It is a legit tactic used by special forces like SAS and Navy Seals when encountering a foe that outnumbers you, it is not an attack tactic it is an evasive one they want to get the hell out of there and the more fire the bigger numbers the foe think you have , they are mostly firing to keep heads down and pursuers at bay

Man that's a shame. I love that movie. I don't think it's the best movie they've made but it's still a good flick.

I like a lot of the Coens' stuff, but not The Big Lebowski.

I think Raizing Arizona is flat-out hysterical and Fargo is a masterpiece, but the humor in The Big Lebowski just wasn't funny to me and instead of being stupid funny, it was just stupid.

Yeah but they hit most of the shots.
It's just unrealistic.
