For me, it's most definitely Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
shareLicense to Drive
shareThe Shawshank Redemption. BOOM!
shareI can see that...
shareThat hurts Stratego lol!
But unlike the other thread we were posting in I'll use this category to throw a little shade at De Niro and say I was always bored to tears with Taxi Driver.
LOL!😝
Nothing personal, Mark! I only mention it because it's number 1 in the IMDb top 250 and it really doesn't do much for me.
I saw Taxi Driver a long time ago. As far as I remember, it wasn't the worst I ever saw, but simply not my kind of movie.
Haha all good!
Taxi Driver is regarded as a masterpiece by many and I could just never get into it.

Fully agree on the ring lord movies...
Felt as much when I saw it in cinema and thought so having rewatched them a few years ago at the recommendation and pleading of several friends...

I'm 0 for 2 with you Mich...I love both Shawshank and Silence of the Lambs lol.

I've never been into westerns very much but I'm with you all the way on the original Star Wars.

I've heard that before and I think Star Wars was so successful because they took the greatest aspects from a variety of genres and turned it all into something truly special. Han Solo is as cool as any gunslinger from the old west and the Cantina at Mos Eisley was a saloon where a gun fight could break out at any time. The empire were reminiscent of nazis from WWII epics. Light saber battles were like the duels in old pirate films (as was walking the plank over the Scarlac pit in RotJ). Jabba was a crime lord operating above the law like an old gangsta flick. And the Ewoks...well say what you will but they did give us yub nub!
I did like Once Upon a Time in the West so I probably would like others as well.
Egg wetter gree! 'Silence of the Lambs' was just an ordinary serial killer movie that was elevated by the performances of Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, and nothing else.
I’m going to get a lot of heat but I just don’t get the hype. I have watched and rewatched these films.
Inception
Blade runner
Indy franchise (yes I said it)
Wall-e
Shutter island
Pirates of the Caribbean (all of them)
Anything where they break out in song (except west side story and little shop of horrors)

Interstellar comes to mind. It was billed like it's the BEST scifi movie of all time, and that it was a second coming of 2001. All the rave reviews from critics and even real scientists, etc. It ends with "love is the only thing that transcends space and time." Ass.
Schindler's List. But, I understand this one. If you don't like it, you're anti-semitic. It's not a bad movie at all, really. Just like Wonder Woman and Get Out.
