^ Guilty pleasures maybe. Forrest Gump I actually don't mind, but yeah top ten is pushing it.

3. AKA "let's NOT follow the book which would have made for a perfect nonsensical comedy, and instead replace the entire second half of it with sappy drivel".

7. AKA the only bad movie Tim Burton ever made.

 

[The Hoov]

I enjoy both of those films. Is Forrest Gump a faithful adaptation? No. Is it a good stand-alone movie? Yes. Tom Hanks is wonderful as Forrest and the movie is a perfect feel-good movie and just shows that good things can happen to good people.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is actually my favorite Burton film because he doesn't try to be overly-gothic and quirky and it doesn't have Johnny Depp. Don't get me wrong I love Johnny Depp but being in EVERY SINGLE Tim Burton film is a bit much. Besides, I love the Pee-Wee Herman character. Paul Reubens is genius for creating him. He's a cultural icon in every sense of the word. Not to mention the writing of this film just calls for great jokes and set-ups.

Don't attack me for my opinions. I never questioned your lists or made fun.

 

[Pete]

Fair enough I did consider not saying anything.

Fair points as well, although I disagree.

You shouldn't be so senstive the point of a forum of this kind is exchange views and debate stuff, as long as people don't go overboard or hostile there is nothing wrong with it.

 

[Pete]

Nah, he's right actually. This is a personal sort of topic, it's people's personal lists. I should have respected that.

One would think a thread that says "Your Top 10 movies" and not the "what do you think is the top ten movies?" list would leave the debate out of this.

 

[The Hoov]

I didn't mean to cause any waves around here. I was just defending my opinions. Everyone has their own opinions.

 

[Pete]

Sure Hoov. Everyone, again, I shouldn't have done what I did. Let's move on.
