that's one I might re-watch and binge on just a little. It was really good.
Hard to pick one...
Boondock Saints, Saving Private Ryan, Pulp Fiction, 300, Wedding Crashers, Training Day, Gladiator, V for Vendetta, Scarface, and Inside Man to name a few.
I'm glad someone mentioned 300 and Gladiator. I was about to toss them in at least for the recognition.
I'll add in Rocky 1 & 2 as well.
Completely agree. They were going for more character development and side stories. I enjoyed it.
There is a new one on Netflix " Godless" pretty good only one season but a good western.
Godless is not good…..Godless is absolutely awesome
Ghostbusters
I couldn’t get into it but said the same about Yellowstone and now love it. Might need to back track and give it another try
Interesting how most people say that show is amazing and I can’t dig it, but I say the same about QT and you can’t dig it haha. Weird how tastes are different
Forgot about 300. Didn’t that director also do that comic book movie which had the same feel as 300? Both great movies.
Haven’t heard of it but will check it out.
I can dig most of those. V kinda disappointed me. Wedding crasher was funny the first rodeo and then my wife watched it1,743 times which probably means she wished she had someone to crash her wedding and take her away hahaha. Over that movie
Zack Snyder. did watchmen and justice league. also did superman and superman v batman. to me his best movie was the dawn of the dead remake.
Watchmen! Yes that was it. Great movie. Didn’t know he made a dawn of the dead. I’ll have to check it out
Among the great mysteries of life - why do some people like chocolate ice cream and some can't stand it but love vanilla ? Preferences can't really be explained. Best scenario. love all ice cream!! Now that I recall, I kind of liked Jango Unchained - much more than any of his other movies I've seen. Pass that vanilla IC, please.
haha! Great perspective!
It's not just you. I'm convinced we're actually the majority, but we live in silence because of the potential onslaught from radical Tarantino fans haha. I feel like his movies lack cohesiveness between scenes, characters, and the music choices never fit the movie. They're also gory just to be gory. His films are like hipsters or like indie bands - they're different just to be edgy, not that it actually adds much to the quality of the story. I do appreciate the way he intertwines humor, but that's about it for me.
To me, Hell on Wheels was WAY better than Yellowstone. Yellowstone is good, but it's got some plot issues. And some unbelievably annoying characters.
If I had to pick just one, FORREST GUMP is my ALL Time Favorite. It's got everything...comedy, drama, action, sports, history that spans several decades, life lessons, etc. The contrast between how complicated people can choose to make life with how less complicated it actually could be (if you just choose to float around all gentle-like on a breeze) is a powerful overarching message that I try to remind myself of often.
A few of mine off the top of my head, no particular order:
Smokey and the Bandit
Dark Knight
The Saint
Swingers
Avatar
Tombstone
The Patriot
Gladiator
Gettysburg
Glory
The Hangover
Super Troopers
Napoleon Dynamite
Bubba Ho-Tep
Lonesome Dove (fav mini-series)
The Notebook (don't judge me)
