Title: I actually kinda dont like almost all the 'classics' of film
Post by: MrAngryFace on February 20, 2007, 05:17:32 PM
I was looking at FoC's list and there wasnt one movie on there I would wanna see. I own a crapload of movies, a lot of them are really good, but godfather? schindler's DEPRESSING list? Come on. Bleh.

True, The Godfather does run a bit long, but there's no way you can hate the film unless you're really, really trying.

Its boring and just woo mobsters or whatever. Fat guy offer cant refuse rite? I dunno I dont like mobster movies in general. I dont find anything about that era that fascinating. Only one I actually liked was Road to Perdition and even that wasnt much of a Mob movie.

Godfather is okay.  Godfather 2 and 3 are total snore fests.  Don't really enjoy mob movies, like, at all.  Liked the Untouchables though.

I liked Godfather 2 more than 1, actually. 3 is an abomination. Secretly I want to write the script for Godfather 4 and fill it full of gay sex and Jim Carrey rubberface gags.

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. ;)

It's close to flawless imo. I suppose a small few would complain about the pacing, but it's very well done imo. Plus it starts off with two of the greatest scenes ever in movies - the confession to the Godfather and then the wedding.

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.

After that the guy becomes the head of the family, brilliant.

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.

Himu: I'm pretty sure A Bronx Tale is the movie with the annoying kid actor. He plays De Niro's son.


Forrest Gump is not my favorite movie - To Kill a Mockingbird is. It's not my second favorite movie either - Imitation of Life is. But it's definitely in my top 10, and I simply love it. I still remember the first time I saw it; my eyes teared up at the end. That was the first time I had been touched by a movie in that way. On a happier note it was also the first movie I began quoting - at one point I could quote the entire first 10min of the movie because I had seen it so many times.

It's special to me so stfu people who rag on it.

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 ending more ambigious than flat-out spelling it out for tards like you.
