Technically it's an amazing film, and still influences sci fi today. In terms of quality overall, it's a criminally overrated film. In other words it's the 80's version of 2001

It's not even in the same class of quality as Blade Runner.
Nah, the film is quite pedestrian on every level outside of the technical mastery. It's certainly not the only average film that has been met with wide acclaim and praise. With respect to its praise it has an 82% fresh rating on RT from the "cream of the crop."
And Forrest Gump isn't in my top ten. I'm sorry TVC, but you're wrong
oh noes someone has a different opinion
2001 is a 7/10 type film. Sadly people want to judge it on visuals first, quality second. IF that doesn't apply to Star Wars it doesn't apply to 2001
Wait, PD just said in PM that people ignore its "less savory" aspects. I asked him what they are. His response should be a hoot.

He thinks the part with the monkeys was kinda racist.
After the whole Unforgiven debacle, I don't know how you'd take any comment he makes about a film seriously.

He's staying on my ignore list with etoilet. Nothing gets my goat more than people that do not accept the subjectivity of their own distinguished mentally-challenged opinions. I'd rather take a dozen synbioses than one etoilet or PD.

3 posts and I'm on your ignore list, great. I'm not the only person who's made similar comments about generally liked movies/games/whatever, and neither is Etoilet.

1. To Kill a Mockingbird
2. It's a Wonderful Life
Forrest Gump is definitely in the top 5 for me though.
Fine, I take back the "pedestrian" troll. The film is too visually stunning to define as pedestrian

Lets go back a bit.

Oh noes we can't change opinions from a year ago now? My top 10 is basically on Facebook for all to see.
Main Entry: 1pe·des·tri·an
Pronunciation: \pə-ˈdes-trē-ən\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin pedestr-, pedester, literally, going on foot, from ped-, pes foot — more at foot
Date: 1716
1. commonplace, unimaginative
Yes, 2001 is commonplace and unimaginative. . .what?
PD am self owning dumbass!
So what, PD, Forrest Gump WAS in your top 10, but now you don't like it AT ALL? Sounds like someone's opinion has done a total 180, meaning that the rest of your opinions are probably equally worthless and driven by idiot's whimsy.

It's a fucking 10/10 to me, and means a lot to me. But it's not in my top ten. I've listed my top 5 many times before
1. To Kill a Mocking Bird
2. Rear Window
3. The Godfather
4. Imitation of Life
5. It's a Wonderful Life
Apocalypse Now and Goodfellas are in my top ten, not Forrest Gump.
Jesus, you have Capra-corn in your top 5. Your opinion is completely moot. I'm not even sure you think cinema is an art.

What's wrong with having a Capra classic in my top 5? Those are my favorite films. I could laugh at you for having fucking Robocop in your top 10 on similar grounding.
Favorite doesn't necessarily mean best. Godfather and Rear Window are better FILMS than Mockingbird in nearly every aspect, but Mockingbird is still my favorite film.

I have a 720p HD rip right here. . .I can just stream it to my 360 and not have to deal with the mouthbreathers and PDs of the world.
Hey, Eel, I said it's an effective melodrama. I didn't do anything even NEAR the ballpark of distinguished mentally-challenged that PD was batting in.

What's it ripped from? Do you get surround with the rip?
Damn, that was fast. How big is the file? I'll try it out if torrenting US films weren't so dangerous.
Well, you know how PD is.
Eh, whatever. I think I misread your comments, and I'm still irritated at myself for taking part in a gathering of the pathetic. I'm just glad no one had a camera.
Wow, the PQ, looks like it was filmed this year
Yeah, I'm gonna take it back. It's going to take a long time to go through all this stuff, and I don't want to be surprised by a disc skipping a month from now when I can't return it

The Capra movie is cheese. Robocop is cheese, action, violence, comedy, and satire. The Capra movie is an effective melodrama, but Robocop is so much more. I bet I could easily argue that Robocop is a movie of great quality, and convince people. If given the choice between Robocop and a predictable Capra melodrama, I would go with Verhoeven any day.
Movies to you, PD, are nothing more than entertainment. Kindly never take one of my recommendations again. . .I shoot over your head.
I dont get how you can hate robocop, its like hating pizza
Did you miss the part where I said It's a Wonderful Life is effective melodrama, PD? Adding selective reading to your sins of idiocy? I don't see anywhere I've contradicted myself. Even Capra's biggest proponents would admit he made melodramas.
Notice how It's a Wonderful Life isn't available in HD, but 2001, Blade Runner, and Robocop are? Only good movies make it to HD. Classics.
There's nothing wrong with a classic melodrama, PD. Some of us just like movies that require a modicrum of thought, a bit of challenge, to grok.
CoM is good, but how you can like CoM and not like 2001 and Blade Runner is mind-boggling.
CHILDREN OF MEN OWES EVERYTHING IT IS TO THOSE TWO MOVIES (plus Brazil)

You'd have to be Phoenix Dark to think this doesn't look awesome.
There's a one disc version with just the Final Cut. The five disc version is like four different versions of the movie + extras.

I don't see a one-disc version on Amazon. And there's 5 different versions. Theatrical, International, Director's, Workprint, and Final.

Hey distant, did they have any Blu Ray briefcases?
Did they have a lot of the standard 5 disc copies tho? Im afraid the jobless nerds or the people who dont carpool will get my copy first and I will rage and push over a magazine rack.
Shit do I want it BD or HD-DVD. . .I might have to go HD-DVD for screen cap purposes.hd dvd baby

At least with Blade Runner, the HD-DVD and BD versions are identical.
Why does the 5 disc DVD cost $100 over here? :-\lol Japan
Canceled my (now backordered) Amazon preorder and picked up the Blu-ray regular edition at Best Buy. The fifth disc was loose, but there aren't any scratches that I can see.
KoH Blugay is so awesome.
