Best Movie of the Year Discussion

[Cyrus Riddle]

Everyone has their specific tastes...I think a Beautiful Mind is a great movie, but I know a lot of people that can't bear to sit and watch a movie that long, especially when it is all dialogue, no action.

A Beautiful Mind was pretty good for what it was. I think one factor in determining great films is how long they feel vs. how long they actually are. For example, The Godfather is a three hour movie that feels like two, while Scarface is a three hour movie that feels like five. The longer it feels, the worse it gets. Just my thoughts on the matter.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

Good point, I never looked at it that way. It makes perfect sense, because when I feel a movie is dragging I tend to find other things to occupy my time and I become uninterested.

I feel this way, if I have to get up and go to the bathroom, im bored...

Though at the same time its important to remember that there is a certain type of film that exists solely so you can do other stuff while they're on and not miss anything. I feel this way about every Adam Sandler film except Punch Drunk Love.

As I am sitting here watching Rio with my daughter, I feel this should be added to the list. It was a pretty good movie albeit predictable. I think it had the greatness of any Disney movie with some funny comedy mixed in.

Off the top of my head, Super 8 & Rise of the Planet of the Apes, although I'm probably forgetting something really obvious.

Yes, you're forgetting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. How you could forget that one is beyond me.

 

[Postman Dave]

Haven't seen it yet, for some bizarre reason.

I wasn't sure how people felt about Super 8, I liked it too!

 

[Postman Dave]

A fun throwback to Speilberg's early films. Bad Robot can do no wrong.

 

[Castiel]

Let's be honest, robots are simply awesome so anything with them is automatically good. I'm pretty sure that's how it works, right? I mean the movie Robots was pretty sweet. Speaking of animated films, I still haven't seen Rango but want to, someone must've seen it around here! Good?

I kind of disliked Super 8 a good amount.

I think my expectations were really high and that movie did not meet them at all. I left feeling disappointed. Oh well. Can't wait for Cloverfield 2 in like 5 years.

Fixed.
