Films you love..

basically every "your favorite movies" thread ends in a imdb top 250 reshuffle, not that it's illegitimate or something but i'd like to see something more geeky and personal, movies everyone dislikes but you !

a bonus if it's panned by rottentomatoes and metacritic as well..or any other reputable review source

i actually can't think of anything right now myself, will come up with something later..

Secret Window

i hate that imdb is always taken as a reference. but the actually the top 250 is not that bad. people still have some good conscience when it comes to rating a movie.

the list lacks some tarkovsky tho. specially nostalghia.

IMBd is shit. Some movies I like under 7.0... Blissfully Yours & Tropical Malady (ok, they have just 7.0) from Apichatpong, Eli Eli lema sabachthani directed by Shinji Aoyama and A Nest of Gentry directed by Andrey Konchalovskiy (for curious ones: this is an adaptation of the Ivan Turgenev's novel and the cinematographer is the same person who worked with Tarkovsky on The Mirror or Stalker. Pretty good movie)

Godzilla: Final Wars

 

good thing you are wearing the flame suit

i just looked and william friedkins 'cruising' only averages 6.1/10 and that film is completely amazing. a very complex piece of work.

...well shit, his film 'the hunted' averages at 5.8 and i love really love that one too. basically almost everything hes done besides 'the exorcist' and 'the french connection' is underrated.

i personally think lynch is very hard to criticize because it's so subjective. but its not impossible.

6.9 folks, hence why I posted it.

yeah I fail'd

But I thought the whole of Twin Peaks was excellent

Dobermann - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118996/

Buffalo Bill and The Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson. I'm a big fan of Robert Altman, and I love this. Plus Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster and Harvey Keitel all in the same film, ffs.

I'm also a fan of Spielberg, but I think I'm the only person on the face of the planet that loved War Of The Worlds.

apropos buffalo:

That is twin peaks the movie, not the tv show.

and we all know the consequences of making a movie out of a successful tv show.
