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)
I'd forgotten about Avatar. Nice !
A dear friend of mine asked her dad, a Kansas farmer "Daddy, what would you do with $10,000"? His reply "I'd farm it until it was gone". She looked at him with a puzzle look and he said, "I know. Life looks complicated if you forget how simple it really is". Hmm.
Surprised I haven't seen Fried Green Tomatoes here.
No judgement here. I too am guilty of love for The Notebook… I like a lot of man movies too though!
I decided to try this one out last night. I like it so far. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did !
You left out incredible sound track. Which seems to be a thing of the past.
I just watched the first episode and I'm definitely going back for more and soon....
Shawshank…
Well Guardians of the Galaxy had a pretty good track..and pretty entertaining movie as well. But they are getting rare .
