Love - Ivan's Childhood

Hate - Violent Cop

[Sycophant]

Someone who says this...


Hate - Violent Cop

Doesn't get to say this...


How can you hate 3-iron or Alphaville? I mean meh them if necessary but hate, yipes.

And I love 3-Iron.

[Rowland]

Someone who says this...
Doesn't get to say this...
And I love 3-Iron.I liked Violent Cop, but I can understand hating it. Is the movie really anything more than unmitigated nihilism?

[Barty]

I need about 30 more films...so keep them coming...:pritch:

[Kurosawa Fan]

Hate - Violent Cop

:eek:

What do you have against Violent Cop? That would have made my "Love" category.

Love: Birth
Meh: The Sixth Sense
Hate: The Amityville Horror (2006)

[Qrazy]

Someone who says this...



Doesn't get to say this...



And I love 3-Iron.

Well I meant to say 'one' not 'you' ... or rather I meant you in the sense of one... because both were on peoples hate lists.

KF, I guess if I were being fair I would have put it in the meh category but I just barely watched it and since I've felt consistently let down by Kitano I'm feeling a little reactionary. I hated Sonatine, disliked this, thought Fireworks was only adequate, and I could swear I've seen Boiling Point but for the love of me I can't remember anything about it. The new Zatoichi was the only film of his I've enjoyed so far and even that had it's problems.

[Qrazy]

Love - The Sweet Smell of Success
Meh - Laura

[Barty]

14 more peoples...:pritch::pritch::pri tch:

[Spinal]

By the same token:
Love - King Kong - 76
Meh - King Kong - 33
Hate - King Kong - 05



I don't love any of them, but I too feel best about the 70's version. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that I saw it at the youngest age.

[Duncan]

At this point, can I ask the point?

[MadMan]

Love: The Third Man
Meh: Wag the Dog
Sucks: Bad Company

[jenniferofthejungle]

Love : Night of the Living Dead
Meh : Land of the Dead
Hate : Cabin Fever

[Barty]

At this point, can I ask the point?

Yes. It's sort of an experiment in odds. I've noticed some peoples worst movies are peoples favorites, no surprise. However, I'm going to seed all 128 of these movies by tomatometer in a 128, one round elimination bracket and then eliminate till we get one movie left. All this will be decided by:

Rock-Paper-Scissor

[Spinal]

I still don't get it.

[Barty]

I still don't get it.

I don't either. That's why Rock Paper Scissor will decide.

[jenniferofthejungle]

Teh Suck: My Life Without Me

I thought you would choose Arsenic and Old Lace for this position.

[origami_mustache]

Love: Rain (Joris Ivens, 1929)
Meh: Rain Man (Barry Levinson, 1988)
Not a fan: Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952)

[Kurosawa Fan]

I thought you would choose Arsenic and Old Lace for this position.

Oh how I missed a golden opportunity. I'll be in the corner sulking if anyone needs me.

[Bosco B Thug]

Rock-Paper-Scissor Hmm, interesting. Thought it was just a fun way to share our cinematic agendas until you revealed you had a quota to reach.

Ahhhh. I could "meh" The Sixth Sense all day long!

[Kurosawa Fan]

It's going to be a bit tough to get accurate Tomatometers on films made before 1990.

[Spinal]

It's going to be a bit tough to get accurate Tomatometers on films made before 1990.

There goes the scientific nature of this project. :|

[Kurosawa Fan]

There goes the scientific nature of this project. :|

:lol:

I'll stop pooping on the party.

[MadMan]

Barty is just crazy. Heh.

Love: The Wizard of Oz
Meh: Beauty and the Beast
Hate: The Sound of Music

[chrisnu]

Love: Psycho
Meh: Jurassic Park
Sucks: Day of the Dead

[Barty]

It's going to be a bit tough to get accurate Tomatometers on films made before 1990.

Rock/Paper/Scissor knows all, and it will take that into account.

Sucks: It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World

[lovejuice]

love: moulin rouge
meh: across the universe
hate: rent (i generally enjoy musicals, so hate is a strong word. it's one of those productions i have no intension of revisitng.)

[Raiders]

Loving: While You Were Sleeping


A perennial holiday favorite at my house. I can't explain this film's appeal, but damn is it ever one of the most cute, charming and "huggable" movies I have ever seen.

[Sven]

A perennial holiday favorite at my house. I can't explain this film's appeal, but damn is it ever one of the most cute, charming and "huggable" movies I have ever seen.

It's Pullman. Trust me.

[Raiders]

It's Pullman. Trust me.

He is very good here. I think it is the whole cast, though. Such pros as Boyle and Warden are superb here. Plus, it is one of the few romantic comedies that is made without a whiff of pretense and actually downplays the love story. It is actually more about the family than anything else.

[Sycophant]

It's Pullman. Trust me.
:lol:

Pullman is a good deal of the appeal for me on this film. But then, so is Bullock, who's never been cuter or sexier than she is here. Also, ultimately, it's formula done well, without the irritating, winking-kinda-but-not-really irony of many more recent romantic comedies.

[Rowland]

While You Were Sleeping... with Sandra Bullock? My mom loves that movie. I've always just assumed that it's crap, for that very reason. Maybe I'll watch it the next time she does.

[Raiders]

It is interesting to me that the two guys who wrote the movie have never written anything else. I guess their cynic-free style doesn't jive with Hollywood.

[MadMan]

Love: Blazing Saddles
Meh: High Anxiety
Sucks: Dracula: Dead and Loving It

[Cult]

Love: Ghost World
Meh: Great World of Sound
Hate: War of the Worlds

[Derek]

Love: L'Atalante
Meh: Planet Terror
Hate: Arsenic & Old Lace (for KF and because it's wretched)

[DavidSeven]

Are we really bringing up Bill Pullman and "appeal" in the same sentence?

[dreamdead]

Meh: High Anxiety


:crazy: Too high.

[Lester Burnham]

Love - Polanski's The Pianist
Meh - Frankenheimer's Ronin (as Full Metal Jacket was already mentioned)
Hate - Mann's Collateral

[lovejuice]

Meh: Great World of Sound


ha! i'm getting *this* close to hate it.

[Lester Burnham]

Can I change my mind about the movie I hate?

If possible, I'm changing Collateral with Van Sant's Good Will Hunting. I just remembered how much I hated it, from the very first scene to the very last. I only loved Minnie Driver, but that doesn't count.

[Ezee E]

Love: Children of Men
Meh: Shoot 'Em Up
Hate: Gosford Park (not really, but I like it less then any other of this particular theme)

[DSNT]

Love: Picnic at Hanging Rock
Meh: The Paper
Hate: Running with Scissors

Too easy.

[Derek]

Too easy.

I still don't get it, but fortunately I've stopped caring.

[megladon8]

Yes. It's sort of an experiment in odds. I've noticed some peoples worst movies are peoples favorites, no surprise. However, I'm going to seed all 128 of these movies by tomatometer in a 128, one round elimination bracket and then eliminate till we get one movie left. All this will be decided by:

Rock-Paper-Scissor


How can there be repeats if you asked on the first post for there to be no duplicates?

[DSNT]

I still don't get it, but fortunately I've stopped caring.
My theme was rock, paper, scissors.

As for the contest rules .. uhh .. same answer.

[MadMan]

:crazy: Too high.For now its what I think. A revisit is in order soon.

[Ivan Drago]

I did not see this one coming.

Are you being serious or sarcastic?

[Spinal]

Are you being serious or sarcastic?

Serious. I did not expect you to love it.

[rocus]

Love - Se7en
Meh - Friday the 13th
Hate - Saw

[Cult]

ha! i'm getting *this* close to hate it.

It's one of those movies that I almost feel bad for. It's so harmless, I couldn't hate it. But it's not very good.

[Fezzik]

Love: Searching for Bobby Fischer
Meh: Children of Men
Sucks: Cool World

[Qrazy]

Love: The Thief of Bagdad '24
Meh: Silent Movie
Sucks: It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World

I didn't hate It's a mad, etc but it sure is clunky and stupid.

[rocus]

Love - The Iron Giant
Meh - Little Giants
Hate - My Giant

[Torgo]

Love: Paris, Texas
Meh: Stardust
Sucks: Laserblast

[Scar]

Love: Predator
Meh: Predator 2
Fucking Hate: Escape from the Blood Plantation

[lovejuice]

It's one of those movies that I almost feel bad for. It's so harmless, I couldn't hate it. But it's not very good.

it's the movie that dies because of its own cleverness. imo, its weakest link is all those amaturish, reality-based performances. those people are non-talented, or at least the film-makers don't try to help them.

[amberlita]

Love: Fargo (hard to choose b/w this and Blood Simple)
Meh: O Brother Where Art Thou
Hate: The Big Lebowski

[Sycophant]

Hate: The Big LebowskiThey make people like you?

[Boner M]

Love: The Man Who Wasn't There
Meh: Raising Arizona
Hate: Haven't seen it.

[Spinal]

Hate: Haven't seen it.

Have you seen The Ladykillers? I actually wouldn't say I hate it, but it's pretty weak.

[Spinal]

Meh: Raising Arizona


Oh, and boo-urns to this.

[Boner M]

Have you seen The Ladykillers? I actually wouldn't say I hate it, but it's pretty weak.
I've been put off by the universally negative words. Well, Armond White called it 'brilliant', though that's generally a testament to universal negativity elsewhere.

I find Raising Arizona only mildly enjoyable. Hudsucker is better as far as their zany comedies go, I reckon.

[Biff Justice]

Love: Runaway Train
Meh: Howl's Moving Castle
Sucks: From Dusk 'Til Dawn

What do these have in common? They're films I figured no one else has mentioned yet since I didn't have the time to read and note every single entry. :P

[Spinal]

I find Raising Arizona only mildly enjoyable.

Ah well. Nobody's perfect.

[Sven]

Love: Runaway Train
Meh: Howl's Moving Castle

Thumbs way up.

And The Ladykillers is pretty awesome, though I wouldn't call it a superior remake.

[Adam]

You haven't even seen them, you cheeky bastard.:D

[MadMan]

Love: Fargo (hard to choose b/w this and Blood Simple)
Meh: O Brother Where Art Thou
Hate: The Big LebowskiO Brother Where Art Thou? is quite funny, and The Big Lebowski is one of their best movies and a huge favorite of mine. So aside from finding Fargo great, this post does not compute :P

Love: Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Meh: Swimming Pool
Sucks: Faces of Death

I tried to come up with a theme, but it didn't work.
