2001: A BEST GODDAMN THING EVAR2010 was better of course.
2001 is boring.EYES WIDE SHUT IS UNDER THE OTHER OPTION. It doesn't deserve to be on here.
Also, where is EYES WIDE SHUT? :lol
Dr. Strangelove ftw!
I'm sorry but 2001 was pretty boring. No character development, no logical conclusions, and it skips from story to story without explaining what happened to the previous one.Check out the sequel!
All the parts with actual people talking to each other were good imo, but the movie builds up all this suspense with the dramatic music yet nothing ever happens. It's like a Goosebumps episode if you took out all the "shock" endings before commercial breaks but left in the heart pumping music

I guess this is why film is SUBJECTIVE. Ive never been bored watching a Kubrick film, whereas Im frequently bored watching, say, a Michael Bay film.

Although I do think the man CAN set up and execute action scenes well. I swear, Bay should hook up with Chris Nolan. Bay can do the action, and Nolan the rest.
spielberg has nothing to do with transformers. Exec. producing means very little. He exec produces just about anything.Although I do think the man CAN set up and execute action scenes well. I swear, Bay should hook up with Chris Nolan. Bay can do the action, and Nolan the rest.
He's hooking up with SPIELBERG for TRANSFORMERS. Oscar winner written all over it.

eh? He is just exec. producing it. Exec. Producer doesn't do anything.spielberg has nothing to do with transformers. Exec. producing means very little. He exec produces just about anything.
a) Thanks for the lesson I was unaware
b) That's not true - he's actually on set
Spielberg hasn't made a truly inspirational directorial appearance since Close Encounters. FACT.
Raiders is a classic, but its definitely been blown out of porportion by net geeks and general audiences.

Yeah, damn those Internet geeks that made it such a huge hit and award winn- OH WAIT THERE WAS NO INTERNET THEN LOL
But Raiders has been a huge hit since its release. It was one of the reason people bought VCRs. It was one of the highest grossing films of all time.
DAMN THOSE INTERNET GEEKS!

Nobody hails it as a masterpiece, just as an awesome film. Yet, you yourself state is a classic. So it's a classic, but you dislike how people claim it to be a classic? I think you're confusing yourself.
Its a classic, but not the life-changing, flawless film many make it out to be. Its littered with horrible acting, cheese, and poor directorial decisions.
That wasn't my point Drinky, shame you lost it while trying to carefully word your way out of your original argument.
I wasn't arguing whether or not Raiders was awesome. And certainly because it was a hit. I was arguing that the so-called "geek crowd" is too small, and certainly not as organized as when Raiders was released due to the lack of the Internet, to be the only reason why it was such a huge hit.
Answer: IT HAD A BROAD AUDIENCE.
Its a classic for the way it influenced the adventure genre, not because its a flawless film up there with Citizen Kane, The Godfather, etc.
Quit playing dumb.

Well duh. No one compares it to Godfather in that respect. As far a adventure movies go, it's the perfect blueprint.
So what was all this you yourself posted before about it being "Perfectly paced, well written, and fully engrossing."
In fact, what rating would you give the film?
Oh, please. You know there are legions of nerds who will place Raiders above just about any film ever made, save for Star Wars.
So you're trying to tell me geeks make up a fraction of the people who paid to see the prequels in theaters?
Geeks, children, and a few scattered cinema hounds made Lucas his money. Fact.
Don't bring up SoaP, you'll just get Willco excited again. ;)
You see, in my book, 10/10 equates to calling a film a flawless masterpiece. Raiders is most certainly not, no matter which way you slice it.
Good Lord, I'm agreeing with Shake: a 10/10 is reserved for a technical masterpiece, and Spielberg is a 7/10 director when it comes to technical quality. Of course, the AICN/Wilco/FoC film student set hates that, because it means most comic book movies, which have ticket sales and little else to qualify them, will never reach that echelon. OH TEH NO!
I don't consider "accessibility" a sterling directorial quality, anyhow, The best movies require people change to consider them, and that requires abandoning some of the familiar and comfortable and actually pushing the boundaries of technical style.
When did I say Raiders was classic, nor had any flaws? I never said that, nor did I argue that point.
But others do, and you jumped to defend them. So pipe down if you don't actually agree with them. ::)
I disagree. Halloween 1 is a perfect horror movie, but from a film perspective it's far from perfect.
Jacob's Ladder is the best horror film ever, and my favorite movie.
Jason never killed nobody on the bus.

Yes, but he did kill people on a boat!
I'm 23-years-old, so of course not. What, do you think I'm hispanic?:lol :lol

Full Metal JacketDitto. Anyone who disagrees with this gets a big, "WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS?!?!?!?!?!"
Probably my favorite movie ever
