What are some good arguments about movies that people still get riled up about and what are your opinions?

Here are some to start this thread off:

Was Deckard a replicant?
Was Total Recall a dream?
Did Patrick Bateman really kill all those people?
Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose?
Inception - Did the top fall?
Did Ofelia actually perform magic in Pan's Labyrinth or was it her imagination to escape the war and her stepfather?
Whats in the case in Pulp Fiction?

GO!!!

Did Han Solo shoot first?


how is this even an argument? In the original prints, Han was the only one that shot. When Lucus redid them in the late 90's, he went PC puss and had Gredo shot first so it was "justified" for Han to kill him. That's what happened. It would be like arguing did the FBI guys in ET have guns or walkie talkies?

now these are legit arguments, I'd add did the Usual Suspects ending make the movie pointless.

ETA: H-Town beat me


Was Total Recall a dream?

I like to think it is not, but let's be real, it is.

Did Patrick Bateman really kill all those people?

Yes

Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose?



girls will say yes, guys will say no (generally)

No, I haven't. I have seen the movies multiple times though.

I'm looking for something to read. You recommend I pick them up?

Was Shane dead?

Was Teddy Daniels really crazy?
Follow up: how did the movie end and why?

My brother thinks there's a debate about whether Russell Crowe's character escaped at the end of 3:10 to Yuma but I tell him he's stupid.

Top fell in Inception, btw.

Okay, okay technically it didn't.

But it was going to fall.

Did it matter?

It wouldn't fall or even wobble in a dream. Just spin and spin and spin.

one of the best MTV threads ever was the multiple page Dottie dropping the ball thread. really brought out the anger, pitted brother against brother in a pitched battle of the wills...

also, she did.

How did Neo have his powers out in the real world? Was still in the Matrix?
