I want honest opinions


Let me start off by saying that I love movies like this, ones where the average everyday person is the hero that brings down thugs. Anyway I still haven't seen this movie and I was wondering whether or not you people thought it was better than the Principal? Which by the way is another cool movie.

I didn't want to buy it right away because I knew nothing about it. Everyone that I've talked to about it has said nothing but good things about it.

reply

Its one of those movie's you put on and immediatly realize its a stone cold classic 10/10 movie. The next feeling you get is utter regret you hadn't found it earlier. Buy it and love it!

reply

Yeah I really should get off my ass and buy it because movie stop told me that they would order it for me for $10.

reply

Go for it. Money well spent

reply

Just need to make sure its the right one because the guy told me that their is a certain version that I should really buy. I'm guessing it was some sort of special edition.

reply

It's on half.com for like 6-10 bucks all the time.

While i like the principal this is one of my fave movies.

reply

this is probobly my favorite movie of all time, much better than the Principal. i went out and bought it the first day they released it. i've loved it since high school and have probobly watched it at least 200 times.

reply

i hear that. first time i saw it was about 3 or 4 years ago and seen it 100's of times since then but at 22 that means i was an 84 virgin for the majority of my life, very shameful.

hey fallon you wanna check out this merchandise?

I think both "The Principal" and "Class of 1984" are equally great films. However, I like "Class of 1984" just a tad bit more because it's so harsh and nasty.

"CLASS.." definitely leaves stronger and deeper impressions.
I will not,however,say that the other one is bad.
It has good moments.

reply

I agree, Class of 1984 was able to tell a good story and be gritty at the same time.

reply

The Principal is a good film of its type, very good even. Class of 1984, however, is a great one. If you have any interest at all in 'that kind of movie' then you owe it to yourself to check this one out. Definitely an 80's cult classic, and personally, one of my fave films.

Thanks for the suggestion but I bought a copy of it in April of 2008. And in case you were wondering I highly enjoyed it.

I was hoping for a little bit of cold calculated revenge. I wanted to see Mr. Norris ambush these kids one by one over the course of a week or a month, just so that they'd know that they were dead men walking.

It was a little bit of a let down that he killed them each out of sudden rage and, in fact, most of the deaths were happy accidents rather than willful murder. Only the immolation was planned out.

> spending too much time on his plans to kill them and wouldn't have been as good of a music teacher anymore.

Was he really that good of a music teacher? I never saw do much in that area. He got them to the level where they could perform a school concert, but any music teacher is required to do that.

both cool. prefer this one.

reply

I'd say it gets the nod over "The Principal" because it features the scorchingly hot Lisa Langlois.

reply

this is way way better than the principal

reply

This is way better than "The Principal," though I also love that film. Better fashions, also! These kids could appear in the "Thriller" video.
