Hey, The Godfather rawks.
Godfather is okay. Godfather 2 and 3 are total snore fests. Don't really enjoy mob movies, like, at all. Liked the Untouchables though.
What about Goodfellas?
Goodfellas is the greatest mob movie of all time.
Goodfellas is the greatest mob movie of all time.
It's definitely the most authentic. I need to see it unedited but I doubt I'd place it above Godfather, which is as close to flawless cinema as you'll ever get

Godfather is most certainly not flawless. In fact, there are good chunks which I would edit out of the film if I could do a "Dark Shake Ultimate Uber Awesome Recut" edition. ;)
Too bad the rest of the film doesn't hold up. :-\
MAF what are your top 10 movies of all time? Your tastes are hardest to nail down.
Solo loved it too whore(SO DOES IMDB LOL). >:( Also PoG wouldn't be in my top 10 nor top 50 of all timeMAF what are your top 10 movies of all time? Your tastes are hardest to nail down.
I bet they're better than your horrible taste.
Paths of Glory >:(
Godfather made crime movies about mobs happen and thus, crime movies about mobs turned to shit.
The Godfather movies really have no interesting story of why the characters would kill for something other then money, other then michael corleone in one scene killing the people responsible for his father's attempted assassination.
If you want to make a crime movie that doesn't have any good guys then have it explain how the criminal organization works, did godfather do that? No, it just threw out lingo, Kisses of Death, and a mumbly fat man.

In three movies, that's the only type of murder that is not done for money.Godfather made crime movies about mobs happen and thus, crime movies about mobs turned to shit.

That puts it ahead of To Kill a Mockingbird(my #4 of all time), Chinatown, The Bridge on the River Kwai , A Clockwork Orange, The Maltese Falcon, The Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Jaws, The Departed, Forrest Gump, Terminator 2....

Who the fuck cares? You act like that proves something when in reality the movies are rated by the SITES USERS. I love LOTR, but it's rated higher than Raiders on that list. That should tell you the list is fucked
And that makes it immune to criticism how..?I read it. PoG rocks. Solo ranks it higher than me though.
It's a bad movie. No character development and utterly laughable plot devices. My review is in Solo's thread
lol apparently the rules don't apply to Kubrick's shit. He's batting 1 for 3 in my book. The one hit (Spartacus) was a homerun total though
lol apparently the rules don't apply to Kubrick's shit. He's batting 1 for 3 in my book. The one hit (Spartacus) was a homerun total thoughKubrick had little control over Spartacus lol. It was more Kirk Douglas' movie than Kubrick. It is great but is the least Kubricky movie he did.
FMJ is a decent war film, but very low level for Kubrick. Don't listen to Himumumumumu.
Here's a good mob movie for you guys: A Bronx Tale.
Stop recommending Kubrick to PD, if he likes films like Spartacus over 2001 he'll hate most of Kubrick's filmography.

I bet you he would hate Clockwork.

WHERE IZ DA STORY?!
Forrest Gump is a good movie, but it doesn't deserve to be on anybody but a Jerry's kid's top ten list.Definitely not on my top ten. But I hate the people that hate it. It definitely has enough good moments, an interesting enough story and other things to make a good flick.
A. He didn't write clockwork.
B. It was based on the american version of clockwork orange, which the writer of clockwork said was bastardized.
C. The story wasn't that good imo.
D. Now you're going to say that I overanalyzed it and that pd would fall under the group underanalyzing it.

So what if he didn't write Clockwork? he didn't write 2001 or many of his other movies either.If you didn't write it then you really didn't do shit.
He wrote the screenplay for Clockwork, and the version of the book he based it on was hardly "bastardized": it was missing the last, unnecessary chapter.which is where everything comes together for the main character...fucking idiot.
Everything doesn't come together for the character in that last chapter, and you would know had you read the book. Its an epilogue more than anything; the Kubrick version simply makes the neding more ambigious than flat-out spelling it out for tards like you.That's funny, I thought the book was supposed to have some sort of important philosophy in it.
