Gone With The Wind is the finest movie that I think is not excellent. Really wanted to like this movie. Have fallen asleep two or three times.

The Dark Night ... apparently the 10th best rated movie of all time according to IMDB (and the second highest number of votes into the bargain). Don't get me wrong ... it's a good movie ... but that is just silly. I fell asleep near the end first time I saw it. Way overrated IMO. -
Saving Private Ryan. People hold it up as if it's a cinematic classic and I don't even think it's Top 5 of it's on genre.
Of course, I have an irrational dislike of the formulaic Steven Speilberg pulling on your heartstrings moment that has to be in every film. (The waving flag, the red rose - etc.)Comment

Sorry, I disagree, that opening scene of the storming of Normandy alone propels this movie into the best-ever discussion. That it lost out to Shakespeare in Love for best picture was a complete joke.Originally posted by Stephen View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.

I'm not sure how many people actually consider it an excellent movie, but somehow Crash won best picture, and I thought it was awful.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

Obviously not top-10 all-time but The Dark Knight was an excellent movie IMO.Originally posted by johnnya24 View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Yeah ... I have never felt compelled to watch it again. It was a good movie, but best picture? ... here are the 4 movies it beat to the statuette:Originally posted by DMT View Post
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Good Night, and Good Luck (I think this is an excellent little movie)
Munich
I would say all 4 of the other movies were better. But best picture at the Oscars doesn't really mean anything does it? Pulp Fiction, Shawshank etc.
I thought The Dark Night was an excellent movie for its genre ... and still a good movie overall ... I enjoyed it (if a bit bored by the end ... hence the nodding off). But I personally feel it was overrated and overhyped.Comment

the one with James Spader and Holly Hunter is a lot better....Originally posted by DMT View Post"You know what's wrong with America?

Actually that was my first thought when I saw 'Crash'... then I saw 'oscar' and realised. Can't think what might have made me think of the Cronenberg movie ... hmmm.Originally posted by Fresno Bob View PostComment
