I just can't fathom this, Star Wars is crap, and Terminator which was 98 should have been higher up (at least above Titanic), but when the reviewer raved about the humanisation of the machine and how you could actually like Arnie as the terminator I realised something was wrong, but there was some good stuff in there like Gladiator, Shawshank Redemption and Casablanca,

Anyone who thinks Star Wars is crap just wouldn't understand.

The Matrix? You can't be serious? Apart from the special FX there was nothing good about it.

[Macca]

look at the story - can you get more original
look at the special effects - mmmm...bullet time
look at the acting - excellent

The Matrix was awesome. The plot development and storyline were the best, the special effects were just added stuff but thats not what makes it such a good movie.

I love the part when he walks throught the metal detector and the guard starts asking him to remove any metallic objects, then he opens his coat. That was hillarious.

[Macca]

"Could you please remove any mettalic items such as keys or loose change"

"Holy Shit!" :devil:


Best lines in a movie for a long time :D

I thought the story was pretty crap actually. The whole 'the world u are living in isnt real' has been done many time before. It was really just your average 'u are the greatest person ever and now must save the world'

As i said the special fx were great.

Are you serious? Keanu Reeves acting? The only good actor was Laurence Fishburne.

[DuDe]

I think Matrix rocked... Had a great story IMHO, and the coolest fighting sequences in ages. though i think that Lock Stock should have been at least in the top 10, it was friggin hilarious.

I think Matrix is one of the better movies I've seen. I might not be smart enough, but I thought the story was cool. The special effects were awesome, bullet time owned.

But as Raging Fuel says, Keanu Reeves is anything but a good actor. Laurence Fishburne, however, that's a man who knows how to act. The other actors were good as well. The "head" agent was damn cool :) :D :devil:

The 'head' agent was aussie Hugo Weaving. He kicks ass:)

BTW: Lock Stock rocked:D

And remember you need to add me to staff. You can't expect me to lower myself to these commoners ;)

My favourite part in "Lock Stock" was when this dude talked about the "Butthole ticklers" (or whatever was the name, i can`t remember it) as a way to get money. When the other guy told him that getting the money in a month is too late, and he said: "oh well, but that`s still a good idea", I almost wet my pants.

Pulp Fiction was only 10? It`s totally one of my most favourite movies, a specially the part when Travolta blew the black guys head in the car. He was like "oh man, i blew Marvin`s head off", and Samuel Jackson tells him "Why the fuck did you do that for?" Man, that`s one of the funniest phrases ever

[Macca]

lock stock is good but snatch is better!

gotta love those f*ckin pikies!:devil:

LOL my problem with Star Wars stems from the Ewoks, they kicked the Empires arse. and not with guns oh no, with wood and stone,, they spent two films building the empire up as an near undefeatable force with them just snatching a victory over the first DeathStar, and then the Ewoks turn up and kick arse, the stories are completely crap too, I loved it when I was little but now it's just silly

Pulp Fiction was good and I was damm impressed with it, since it's filmed by three directors in three parts it can confuse you but it all makes sense in the end.

The Matrix was a very close copy of The Invisibles but since the Invisibles lacked a sense of fun like THe Matrix then your damm right it should have been higher, it pushed the special effects boundary, and pushed a lazy actor (well Keanu ran at least ;) )

I prefer Lock Stock to Snatch, since they're basically the same but Lock Stock just feels more raw and less manicured

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was in there, which is a good film, but there are better martial arts films, however I doubt any of those films have yet capture the same imagery as CTHD did, plus Zhang Ziyi is hot :colgate:

It twernt the stones that beat them, it was the element of surprise. Besides, thats Return Of The Jedi, not Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back :p

I know :p it's still the same thing, you can't consider one film and then not the other two ;)

Still it would have been even more surprising to the Empire if the Ewoks had turned up in space. ;)

The one thing i didn`t like in the Star Wars movies was how Darth Vader looked in the end... I mean, he was this scary dude for like 2 and a half films, and in the end of the third one (sixth one, if you count the prequels?) he looks like some old geezer... And he is a damn traitor too, killing his own emperor like that...

I haven't seen the other two, but I was just about to suggest Memento and Arlington Road. Those two movies have the best endings ever.

[DuDe]

I think that Silence of the lambs should be in one of the top 10 as well.
