Oh yes. I'd like to live in that one.
2000s: Your favourite films, albums & books
- Thread starter R.N7
- Start date
I remember hesitating between Up! and Wall-E, love both. I think Up! works better for me, especially on an emotional level (which you don't have obviously) but I can understand people preferring Wall-E.
Post your fecking list you dickhead, and it better not be 10 quotes out of The Room spoken in Wall-E's voice.
Wall-E's definitely my favourite animated film from the time period.
Ok you and Cina can make out now.
Feck you, the space scene with the fire extinguisher, it don't get no more emotional than that yo
I don't really have an order, so
Internal Affairs
Hero
Oldboy
There will be Blood
Zodiac
One of the LotR films
Spirited Away
Wall-E
City of God
Mystic River
Honorable mentions to Downfall, The Pianist, Million Dollar Baby and some others
Wall-E is Pixar's best one.
Urgh, Million Dollar Baby Cina... urgh.
Oh and I disagree, the first 10 minutes of Up!, ffs!
Hero is very good indeed.
what's wrong with MDB? it's a great film, no idea why it's acquired such hate over the years.
i'm not married like you you pansy, lol
Way too many amazing albums in those years. Doing a top 50 is almost impossible let alone a top 10.
ffs, read up.
I'm not sure why it's gained hate over the years (I wasn't even aware of it, I thought it had a lot of love to be honest), but I hated it the minute I saw it. I think Eastwood has to be one of the less subtle directors out there, and I found the film incredibly dull. I have very little time for Eastwood, I find his films very mediocre most of the time, good once in a while, and sometimes really awful (Hereafter, my God...).
LOL KHALEESI
vs. House of Flying Daggers?
there's nothing subtle about Eastwood, sure, and I dislike a lot of his films, but I think Mystic River and MDB are great.
Mystic River is the only one of his I really enjoy with Unforgiven.
Also, the "bad" champion fighter is a ridiculous caricature for a "serious" boxing movie... she's so EEEEEVIL... and I never understood why she isn't DQ'd and the fight awarded to Swank.
Oh, and also, I really dislike Hilary Swank.
2009*
Me too! She seems to have disappeared these days, it's nice. And one point she seemed to be in all films made by Hollywood. Which wasn't so nice.
Distinctly average film.

I disagree, mainly due to that amazing female 1 vs 1 fight scene. Wouldn't have it in my top 10 though, as the love story element let it down for me.

Spider-Man 3?! Really? I know it's all about opinions but surely that's a WUM.
Didn't watch many films from that era, it's just to fill the last place. It wasn't terrible, though.
Fixed it up a bit.
Fight Club is from 1999, I demand that you redraft.
feck I thought it was 2000. Everything is ruined.
Off the top of my head....
