It's a tie between "Citizen Kane" and "Annie Hall"

The absolute only good answers given are Titanic and Avatar.

Downvote me to death idgaf, but the easy answer for me is It's a Wonderful Life. Tried watching it three times in the past and fell asleep all three times. By far and away the most boring movie I've ever watched. It just is.

Interstellar

Didn't' know if it wanted to be a movie with a dmenson twist or a space exploration movie. 30 minutes too long. A lot of the science didn't make sense.

Great visuals and sound but the rest was just ok.

I agree about the science and the length. Nolan does do a good job of building tension and intense moments. And IMO he did that well in Interstellar.

The Godfather. Marlon Brando is like a cartoon character, Pacino crosses his leg and just sits there, somehow white James Caan is supposed to be super Italian, and Diane Keaton is the least fetching leading lady I've ever seen. The sound is terrible and the actual picture is so bad I can't tell if it's night day Christmas or July 4th

I don't blame Nolan. I think what he wanted and what the studio wanted were 2 different things. Hence why it was 30 minutes too long. I think he wanted a twist of dimensions and the concept of space time. They didn't want to have a massive risk financially on that type of movie so pushed the space exploration angle. So it did a little of both but wasn't super great at either one. Just my opinion.

Casablanca for me

It was enjoyable, I just didn’t have an orgasm after watching it like most people seem to have had

Same here. Rented it almost 40 years ago when I was stationed in England.

However, I really like The African Queen.

Still haven't seen Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Dude,

You have to be a sociopath with no soul to not like Forrest Gump and to not feel any emotion when watching it. He goes through so many sorrowful situations and sufferings that are very relatable to the sorrows and sufferings that we all go through in our lives. However, he never becomes bitter or hateful and doesn’t resent the people who caused his sufferings. It’s very meaningful and touching.

You must not be an empathetic person at all. It makes me cry every time.

I’ll get downvoted like crazy, but The Departed is so overrated in my opinion. Thought it was really boring


Best review of The Departed was from this board (i think):

I didn't think a movie could make me sick of watching people get shot in the head, but that movie made me sick of watching people get shot in the head.

I also thing Shawshank Redemption is overrated. Sure it's a great movie, but it's not some kind of masterpiece people make it out to be


I agree. It’s a fine movie. Perfectly made for a Sunday afternoon TNT movie. Nothing special.

I don’t care for Taken. Just a straight forward plot. Liam Neeson who plays the same character in every movie. Cheesy cartoonish characters. Bunch of unbelievable but ok action scenes. Happy ending.

It’s ok, but not memorable and not anything new.
