I was told to watch City of God, and I did, and I thouht it was a pretty worthwhile and original movie. Not in my best of all-time but really really good.
It's hard to list the best of all-times, and a lot of good ones have already been said, so I'll try and list a few that aren't on here. -Ronin -Predator -A Man Apart -Heat -Reservoir Dogs And a funny-ass movie that surprised me with it's laughs was that "Soul Plane"! But I'm weird. |

Bad movies do not belong here.

I just was reminded, that the Big Lebowski is the most overrated comedy of all times, IMHO.
I heard all about it,t that it was a hilarious movie, especially for a stoner like me, and I just wanted to say that I watched the whole movie with an open-mind...I wanted to like it! But it just sucked IMHO. The Big Lebowski is a crappy comedy, and an even worse stoner movie, IMHO. The only bright spot is John Goodman with his sub-machine gun! |

How is the Big Lebowski not funny? It is one of the few comedies I actually own since its humor is timeless and doesnt get old after the first viewing.
A movie that is excellent but never mentioned except by me is Leaving Las Vegas. Good Stuff. -------------

Boyz In The Hood. Probably one of the best movies of all time. |

People that don't like one Coen Bros. movie tend not to like them all. It's just something about them you have to understand I think. People don't get the dark repetitive dry comedy out of movies like Fargo, O Brother, and the Big Lebowski. Those who do, love their movies. Shomer shabbos! |

I honestly am into all sorts of movies, but a stoner-comedy is one that is actually made for me! What are some parts you thought were funny? I honestly gave it a 3 out of 10, maximum. I remember the dude pissing on his carpet, which is mildly amusing, John Goodman is a bright spot throughout the whole movie, earnign it an extra whole point(up from 2), they smoke weed, which counts for a star or 2 by itself, I remember the weird(**edited**) bowler Jesus, and I thought it was kinda funny when the dude meets that chicks husband..,.the old dude. But overall, I just don't even think the movie was funny enough to float as a comedy, and there aren't enough aspects to keep it in the running as a quality movie for me. I actually liked fargo and Brother where art thou better than the Big Lebowski, but you're right, I don't like any of them all too much. |

I personally think Menace II Society is a lot better than Boyz in the hood
I remember when I was little, I used to love that movie "Legend" with Tom Cruise! I swear, when I see it nowadays, i wonder how I didn't have nightmares off that trippy ish! I think that's a quality movie though. |

American Beauty! Nice pick!
They could have benefited from the addition of a marijuana expert on the editing team, they kinda blew the G13 out of porportion, but that is honestly a great, original movie! You've got class. |

Menace II Society is definitely good, but I think Boyz in the Hood didn't glamorize life in LA like Menace did. |

Scenes that were funny in The Big Lebowski? Nearly all of them. Umm....
Nearly all scenes with The Dude were funny. John Goodman was also a riot. Steve Buscemi had a few scenes that were funny as well. How is it not comical to try and dump your buddies ashes of a sea cliff only to have the wind blow it back and cover the person standing next to you? To each there own I guess.  -------------

I thought the big fight scene was one of the best fight scenes of all time. Bowling ball vs. samurai sword. :) (For another great fight scene, check out Bridget Jones' Diary - seriously)
And while we are on bowling, we have to mention Kingpin. I laugh just thinking about that movie. |

I guess it is just difference in taste, because I just didn't find the Big lebowski that funny. It's an okay movie, I guess I just went in expecting too much! By the time the movie was ending, I was kinda disappointed that I didn't really have any major laughs. I guess the biggest thing I would say is the movie is "quirky" and unique, but almost everything it tried to pull off like that didn't really hit me correctly. I don't know, but I would say the final scene was a prime example. I could see why someone would think it's funny, but to me it just was too 'forced".
I must give props to Clark kent, as it seems his taste is a lot different than mine, but he is the first to mention a Terminator movie! Terminator and part 2 are absolute classics....you jus wish your Governor was as hard as mine! |
