I'm playing this on Facebook, but this annoys me. I don't understand what the difference between these two is.

Duke, Army of Darkness is such a great movie.

I missed it at the theaters, somehow, and years later I walked into a video store and they had it playing on a crappy busted up 19" tv. Browsing around, I kept listening to the dialogue and finally went up front to watch (it was right at the beginning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLUi_20Nrg)).

I stood there for like 15 minutes before I asked the guy if they had a copy.

PS: Your first video link there doesn't seem to work.

[Ezee E]

YuyhQ7D3bHM

Not too much different, other then two shots, and a strange focus on someone that I don't even think is in the movie. Otherwise, I like the quick cut at the end more then the actual ending.

It was the first rated-R movie I've ever seen, and the only reason my father let me watch it was because he knew it was a soft R and it fit my personality and style of humor.

Day 1: Favorite Film
Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson, 1999)

Full of engrossing stories and great performances from everyone in it, Magnolia is a film that turns a single day in the lives of 9 people into a spectacle.

Great pick. Interesting to see the alt clip. I think there's different music at the closing too (is that The Clash?).

That is The Clash. And you're correct in there being different music as well. The normal version uses Sid Vicious. Both are fitting.

Thing I like about that clip isn't the dialogue (which is great), but that it subtlety underlines a major theme of the movie: That Roy, despite being artificial, is more human than Deckard.

Yeah, I always forget Blade Runner when thinking of the best directed movies. That and Alien are reasons why I always try out new Ridley Scott movies, even if most end up as shit, he's still made masterpieces. I really hope this prequel (or whatever it is) works out.

Holy shit, EXACTLY. I'm not a fan of the guy by any measure, but I'll always check out his movies just because of those two.

Btw, just came across this Brit documentary from 2000, "On the Edge of Blade Runner." I think it's on one of the DVD sets, but it's not something I've seen before. Interesting behind the scenes stuff, and it opens with a short rumination on the book:

Interesting that that one's your favorite, it kinda gets a bad rap around here. I liked it, but it was my first Kiarostami film (I saw it a good ten years ago). It definitely needs a rewatch, but I can't see it elevating over any of his Koker Trilogy films or Close Up for that matter.

It's the only one I've seen more than once, though. Except Ten, which is also fantastic. Both shot up in my esteem on 2nd viewing, so...

Edit: By the way, The Set-Up is awesome.

Favorite film: Persona



I often rail against shot/reverse-shot dialogue sequences. They're not inherently bad, the problem is that they're the most basic and so frequently the least interesting possible way to cover a scene; well, here's basically the most interesting way I've come across to cut between two actors talking in close-up:

[Ivan Drago]

Least Favorite Movie:
Selena (Who Gives A Shit, 1997)

14gyU53hMJk

It would kill some of the actors to show an emotion, the writing/dialogue is horrid, and there is little to no conflict in the movie whatsoever. The latter is a definite quality of something that would be the worst narrative film ever made.

[Kiusagi]

Day 2: Least Favorite Film

Rollerball (John McTiernan)

I'm not sure this is the worst film I've ever seen, but it holds a special place in my heart. I saw it in theaters and it's the first movie I truly detested. Back then I had no interest in films and had seen very few, so I wasn't exactly picky either. I've heard good things about the original and I should probably see it, but I fear this one may have ruined it for me.

NWyK5eFRKMg

[Ivan Drago]

^ Before I saw Selena, that was my least favorite movie ever. Chris Klein is a terrible actor, and a scene was shot with a fucking nightvision camera.

[Kiusagi]

I liked Klein in Election and that's about it. But him as a leading man? Hell no.

I completely forgot about the night vision scene. I must have undergone a procedure to have it removed from my memories. And I just read that Slipknot was digitally inserted into the film. I find that hilarious.

[MadMan]

Day 2: Least Favorite Film

tRcGukCdr3c

For the record, I have not seen MSTK mocking this movie. Nope, I watched a copy of it without the commentary thanks to my local community college, which has their very own cable channel. This and I Spit On Your Grave are the two worst movies I've ever seen. Despite "Grave" being morally repulsive garbage, at least its a movie, and something of note happens on screen. Manos manages to be confusing, boring, beyond crazy, and also a complete waste of film strip. I also keep hearing that the guy who played Torgo after seeing the movie committed suicide. Even if that's not true, it only adds to the film's overall legend as being beyond terrible.

[TripZone]

Possibly Glory, by that one guy.

[StanleyK]

Least favorite film: A Walk to Remember

I may have personal reasons for disliking this film (ex-GF's favorite, watched it while going through the break-up), but I refuse to believe that I would be so petty. No, this is just a terrible film, a product coldly calculated by studio hacks, populated by emotional zombies, gross caricatures of how actual human beings might behave and feel, rendered in an artless and intelligence-insultingly obvious manner. I don't even feel like finding a Youtube link or image; suffice to say, shit like this is the opposite of what I look for in art.

[Mysterious Dude]

Least favorite: Godard's Weekend. Hey, I found the sandwich scene!

Where's the fun in that?

[Melville]

Whoa, really? Heard that it's merely a dry-run for Dogtooth but the idea that films of such disparate quality from the same filmmaker exist seems bizarre.
I don't remember it very well, but I definitely don't remember it as a dry-run for Dogtooth. It doesn't have a cohesive narrative, let alone one with obvious potency like Dogtooth's; it's essentially just the images from the trailer repeated for the entire runtime—imagine people tripping each other, the guy accosting women, and the guy driving on a motorcycle on an infinite loop. Those images strike me as dull and often rather shoddy, with nothing of sufficient interest to warrant a whole movie of them. I also don't remember any humor or any distinct visual strategy akin to Dogtooth's. However, I won't stand by any of those assessments, since it's been 6 years since I saw it and my viewing might have been dampened by the mood in the theater (most of the audience walked out).


Wow, really? How come?
Grating songs celebrating grating behavior. Seems pretty easy to hate.

Interesting pick. I didn't hate it but along with Cracker and .. that other movie .. the one he did with Norton (!) .. it just seems oddly forgettable.

Like Lee was coasting and not really invested in the movie he was making.

So much wrong in so few words.

I'm not even a fan of ESOTSM, but no way would I consider it even close to being the worst film I've seen.

[Irish]

So much wrong in so few words.

:lol: I wrote "Cracker" when I meant "Clocker." Shit, that's embarrassing.

[Spinal]

I think it's natural that someone's least favorite film would be something that's otherwise highly regarded. Because not only do you dislike it but you have to hear others go on and on about how great it is.

[Boner M]

:lol: I wrote "Cracker" when I meant "Clocker." Shit, that's embarrassing.
Actually I almost though Lee made a film called Cracker.

But seriously, the idea that Lee was coasting on such obviously passionate, energetic films like 25th Hour and SoS is absurd.

[Russ]

I'm not even a fan of ESOTSM, but no way would I consider it even close to being the worst film I've seen.
Who said worst?

[elixir]

Who said worst?

You're right. But still my point stands.

EDIT: I mean, I could have put Dancer in the Dark or Elephant or Easy Rider, but those aren't truly my least favorite films...I'm not sure if ESOTSM truly is your least favorite or not (don't want to doubt your sincerity or anything!).

EDIT 2: I guess I admit the reactions to 300 may partially affect my opinion of it.

[Watashi]

I think it's natural that someone's least favorite film would be something that's otherwise highly regarded. Because not only do you dislike it but you have to hear others go on and on about how great it is.
Yeah. I mean, there's tons of shit I could have put down from my childhood on there, but it's more fun to put a movie that most people happen to like.

I almost put Breathless over Waking Life.

[DavidSeven]

I love 25th Hour and generally like Spike Lee's work. SoS, however, is like a 2.5 hour compilation of the handful of things I occasionally hate about his filmmaking.

[Ezee E]

I adore 25th Hour.

And the dog scene, and a few others are just so dumb and laughable that it shows off Lee's weaknesses in that he occassionally tries to put too much into a movie. She Hate Me being an even bigger example of that.

Wow, really? How come?

No, really, why? What is it that you didn't like?

No, really, why? What is it that you didn't like?

I thought it was poorly assembled as a film and it seemed to drown itself by parading its cheapness and stupidity with awful music.

[MadMan]

Grease is annoying, cloy, and really lame. I hate most of the musical numbers, too.

Love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, though. I guess in this case I broke my own rules and posted for least favorite a movie I think is the worst of all time.

[Spinal]

I guess in this case I broke my own rules and posted for least favorite a movie I think is the worst of all time.

Easy mistake to make.

[Skitch]

I fucking loathe Grease. My sister watched it three times a day for years. She memorized all the songs and dances, and danced along. If it ever comes on in my house, I'm leaving. I would chew through my arm to escape seeing it again.

I'm leaning towards choosing Catwoman.

[Fezzik]

Least Favorite Film is tough for me because any movie I think I'll dislike, I really go out of my way to avoid.

that said, I've been dragged to some stinkers, including this one that may be the only movie I've ever walked out of truly angry, so it wins:

Its really sad, too, because I usually like Garner. A lot.

It's definitely one of the most painful "chick flicks" I've seen.

[megladon8]

While not too great, I think Revenge of the Sith is undoubtedly the "best" of the prequels.

[transmogrifier]

Grease, ESOTSM and Summer of Sam are all great movies. People be trippin'.

I always degrade this movie, but whenever I rewatch, I realize how it might just be the best comedy around. It perfectly blends just about every type of comedy possible, and plays it straight that you'll always laugh at something different, no matter the mood you're in.

[Watashi]

j3-Y6UdDNWU

[StanleyK]

OK, probably that one.

Indeed. I'll also back endingcredits on the Grease hate, a truly wretched film with despicable morals; I might go with it if there is a 'most overrated film' category. The Mirror is also an excellent pick for favorite film.

[Thirdmango]

Day 1: My favorite movie is Wizard People Dear Reader. My favorite line begins at 2:24 of this clip.

If you don't consider that to qualify as a movie then my second favorite movie of all time is.

Day 2: Least Favorite Film: Chinese Roulette

http://mubi.com/films/chinese-roulette

Watch that trailer and tell me it doesn't look like a bad daytime soap opera. The film was all phony posturing and silly melodrama.

Jesus.

Favourite Comedy...also Punch-Drunk Love? Let's say Playtime instead.

[Boner M]

Is the whole movie like that Boner? That was amazing.
Yup.

Day 2: Again this is least-favorite and not necessarily worst. The content of this movie killed me, and I still can't handle thinking about it. No enjoyment came from me watching this movie.

Tough category. I chose to go for a straight comedy, and even then its tough to peg which one would be most deserving. I'd have to say that Big Business (http://www.livevideo.com/video/46CF55C267024D1FA32268A3D9BCDD 23/big-business.aspx) is probably funnier, but L&H were covered above with the also amazing The Music Box.

Is the whole movie like that Boner? That was amazing.Oh yes. House is completely bizarre, funny, creepy, weird, outrageous, and completely engaging. Good movie.


Easy mistake to make.Well in that case, really least favorite and "Worst movie" can be considered interchangeable, I suppose.

Oh and funny enough Derek actually posted the best scene from The Boondock Saints.

The Life Aquatic, The Big Lebowski, Duck Soup, Dr. Strangelove, Raising Arizona, all amazing and hilarious, although I really consider The Life Aquatic to be a drama with comedy in it. Which is what Wes Anderson's movies truly are. I also love Office Space and Young Frankenstein, of course. Dragnet is rather underrated. Ghostbusters rules, of course. I love comedies. This calls for a new thread soon.

I know someone already listed it, but it is my favorite comedy of all time.

FAVORITE DRAMA

A lot can be debated on what's just a "drama." I'm also going to avoid repeats just to keep things fresh.

I pick Boogie Nights. I don't know if there's a movie where there's so many characters and I love each and every one. It hits when it needs to be funny. It hits when it needs to be emotional. And, the amount of tension that's developed and executed in the Jesse's Girl scene is simply masterful. I can watch that scene again and again and again.

Also, each character seems to get their own fancy intro. I liked that.

That's such a broad category (after all, every narrative movie contains drama) that I just consider any movie which isn't explicitly part of any other genre to be a drama.

I've mentioned it before, but I'll do it again. T2 is the perfect action movie. James Cameron is the master of setting up an action movie. Rarely can anyone else set up the geography, uniqueness of sequences, and also tell a separate story to each action scene in the movie.

In Terminator 2, he keeps building the suspense, what's at stake, and destruction. Here, early in the movie, is something that's better then in probably 70% of most action movies. The building tension of the two Terminators getting closer to John Connors in its own rather good search scene (with an excellent score)... Only for it to progress into a chase scene.

Aliens is also along these lines. Too bad Avatar doesn't really follow suit
