The Greatest Movie of All Time

[Jughead]

If I had to pick just one, it would be The Searchers (1956) with John Wayne. Outstanding movie!

Don't get out much do you? Gatsby is right on target. Fifteen year olds probably like R movies more than adults do. The movie rating system is shot, as long as a fifteen year old has a parent with them, they can watch R films in the theatre.

That's not the issue.

He was putting down my top 10 by inferring the movies are juvenile.

And my response was that the movies were not made for 15 year olds.

Does this look like a movie made for a 15 year old?

 

[Billo_Really]

LMAO. Those movies are very much made for 15-year-old boys. They are definitely part of the demo.

15 year olds are into Fast and Furious, Real Steal and Thor; not movies about ass-fuck twins, sports teams called The Beers and movies about gangsters and drugs doing things they haven't even experienced or know anything about.

So, you're saying you're a higher class of 15-year-old.

When I was 15, I was into Billy Jack, Vanishing Point and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I was not into Easy Rider, Clockwork Orange or Five Easy Pieces.

Lord of the Rings, hands down. Avatar.

Just off the top of my head.

If you like dopey movies that are mildly funny on a juvenile level, you'll be delighted. Actually, I saw it once or twice and liked it somewhat at the time. But seeing it on a top ten list for all-time great movies is nothing short of ridiculous.

What we have here, is a failure to COMMUNICATE!

Excellent movie.

My favorite movies of all time are;
Shakespeare in Love
The Piano
Remains of the Day
Infamous
Apollo 13
Rocky horror picture show
Immortal Beloved
Romeo and Juliet
Fur
Kinky Boots
The Rose
The Wizard of Oz

I remember watching The Rose when it first came out and what a tremendous emotional ride it was.

Maybe the movie is a little too deep for you grasp?

If it makes you feel better; I'm cynical of movies in general. I rarely watch them, and even the ones I enjoy at the time, I can criticize plenty in hindsight. LOL I just have really high standards for what makes a great movie.

Hoosiers, The Natural, Memento, Bridge Over The River Kwai, Animal House, Back To The Future, etc. Those are the types of movies that belong in the discussion for me.

A bunch of kids find an alien and hide him in the closet. There's a few 'cute moments' and 'touching moments' including ET using his healing hand. And then the govt condemn the house, the kids break him out and make a dramatic bike ride, and ET goes home on his spaceship. It's a movie that could be condensed to ten to fifteen minutes. It was just a hit at the time cos of the groundbreaking effects.

Back to the Future! Now that was a movie made for 15 year olds.

Baseketball has the most thought-provoking perspective towards professional sports more than any movie ever made. The only movie that even comes close, was North Dallas Forty.

Back To The Future is made for all ages though. It's not just something that an emotionally stunted male wanker is heavily into.

Mmm...I recall some though provoking concepts in baseketball. But it's hardly a mature movie on the whole.

That's your opinion.

But I think it's a pretty mature concept to think this country would get so sick of excessive commercialism in sports, that a bullshit street game would rise up and become the national pastime.
