It's ranked higher than all time classics. Only 2 away from Psycho!! It's crazy.
shareI agree with OP, the fact this movie has reached so high in the list shows how crappy the general public's gauge on cinema has become.
shareIt's hard to be shocked with anything in a higher degree than Shawshank being number 1 film in the list.
Might be over-rated, yes, but by far not the worst problem we have around here.
Now it's #37
I don't think it deserves to be quite #37, but it's a #250 material.
I'm not surprised that so many people liked this movie. It's a feel-good movie with a great sense of humor, but deeply touching at the same time. The chemistry between two leading actors is what brings this movie on the best movies list.
I agree.. compared to some other film in the top 250, this film was great. It's basically a better version of Me Before You. I tend to rate films according to how much I like them so I know that some of my ratings will be unpopular - for example, I really didn't like Metropolis.. I thought it was good for being an original, but I thought the plot was dull and nowadays, the film would need to cover a lot more however I really enjoyed this film despite knowing it's not as original.
shareI rate movies the same way so I know what you mean.
I haven't seen Me Before You but I think that one (the same as this one) is based on a true story? That just shows that life isn't original. Important thing is how well the story is told, despite not being original. And this story was told well. I also liked the use of music in this movie, it was uplifting.
I agree.. you watch a movie to be entertained but I'm aware that the most entertaining film won't always be the most technically brilliant.
shareIts an average movie, definitely doesn't deserve to be in the top 250.
shareIt's an accesible, feel good movie. A soap opera condensed into 2 hours. I'm not surprised it's popular.
