CHILDREN OF MEN OMG WTF BBQ AHHHHHHH

Yeah, Children of Men.

Raban · « **Reply #3 on:** May 18, 2008, 04:57:29 PM »

Why exactly does EB love Children of Men so much? The cinematography is stunning, and the special effects are very impressive, but outside of that, the movie falls into pieces. The writing is filled with nonsense, and almost every scene is packed to the brim with so much painfully obvious symbolism, my eyes were rolling out of my head.

You didn't list No Country for Old Men. Or O Brother. Or Memento. Or City of God. I'd probably say Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine, and Being John Malkovich, too. In the Mood for Love. Moulin Rouge. I'm probably missing a ton of foreign shit, but I am kinda oblivious to the dates when most foreign movies come out. Oh, Amelie.

Gladiator

FUCK Y'ALL

(I still need to watch KoH:DC)

Probably either Unbreakable or Pan's Labyrinth, for me personally

Out of all those movies I've only seen No Country and Moulin Rougue, which I like but can never watch again after seeing it 100 times on a cruise

No Country goes on the list. Unbreakable too

Note that I haven't seen a lot of films that make the "Best of" lists for these years.

If I had to choose a most favorite it would split 50/50 between O Brother and Almost Famous. I find them both to be endlessly watchable for different reasons.

No seriously, I'm not trolling. I own Children of Men, it's a great movie in many respects, but in terms of writing, it's so bad I have to force myself to watch it.
