Raiders of the Lost Ark
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/a8/07/74dc124128a01b808e79b010.L.jpg
Payed homage to the pulp novels long before Pulp Fiction came around. No pretense about story or anything artsy here. Just action and thrills for the sake of action and thrills. And a solid performance on the part of Ford.
VS
Young Frankenstein
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000G6BLWE.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Another Mel Brooks classic, this time a send-up of old Universal horror films. Gene Wilder is, as usual, great, and the late Peter Boyle is unexpectedly hilarious as the unusual casting choice for the monster.

Wow, are you serious? Fuck off with that pompous shit man. Miyazaki is second only to Takashi Miike as far as japanese movies go, imo.

I like fantasy and all, but it's a cartoon.
Dominion
03-05-2007, 10:45 PM
Man, I respect opinions and all, but saying that voting for Miyazaki over anything, especially American Psycho, is a DISGRACE is a bit strong and overboard for just an opinion. If you don't like it, fine. But that was a bit harsh.
edit: What's it being a cartoon got to do with it being a bad movie or not? Piss poor way to say you don't like something.

I loved The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and it was incredible but I can't just pop it in and watch it like I can Back to the Future. I can watch Back to the Future in almost any mood I'm in no matter what I'm doing with anybody and that's why it won out in the end. I feel that both movies achieved their goals with tremendous success.

Platoon.
Saving Private Ryan had one or two cool war scenes (like the one on the beach), the rest was basically a drama. It tried to touch the emotional content, but Spielberg concentrated more on war, and less on emotions. (Except the one really unnerving scene where the German soldier keeps saying "Shhh" as he drives the knife deeper into the Allied soldier...)
But Platoon...the Stone touch, the raw, edgy gritty approach to the NAM, Willem Dafoe(Elias) and Tom Berenger(Barnes)'s brilliance, excellent pace and awesome cinematography, the visuals...once they etch into your memory, you can never forget the experience...ever.

I'm shocked that there's anyone out there that hasn't seen Pulp Fiction. But I'm also kinda jealous of you because you still have a lot of AWESOME movies that you get to experience for the 1st time. (And nothing beats that!)
If memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't always) you are fairly young and have fairly strict parents that wouldn't let you see alot of stuff for a while, right? What other awesome movies havent you seen? (And if I'm thinking of someone else, sorry. No offense intended by calling you young.)
