Fight Club is not overrated. its only overrated now cause all these silly little kids are finally seeing it and they are dumb.
ReplyDeleteDistrict 9 and Inglourious Basterds havn't even been out for 2 months and they're on your top 15, interesting
ReplyDeleteI'm tired so I'll give you a quick top 5 from me since you asked
Fight Club(sorry, it really is, not just trying to piss you off :P)
Shawshank Redemption
V for Vendetta
The Departed
American Beauty
on the topic of movies, here are my little funfacts
Best actors: Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton
Most underated movie: Austin Powers(first and second, 3rd, meh)
Best screenplays ever: Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting
Most overated actor/director: KEVIN COSTNER! >:( (Goodfellas was such a better movie, screw you Academy awards, don't know your ass from your elbow!)
You have to see District 9 and Inglorious Basterds. You would put them there too lol. Nice top 5 though. I like all of those except Fight Club. Lol there's nothing wrong with Fight Club, it's cool if you like it, I just think people build it up to be better than it was. It was a good movie. You're right about Austin Powers, Screenplays, and Kevin Costner lol. And Goodfellas was the shit! Amazing! Thanks for the posts guys!
ReplyDeleteI did see District 9 and Inglourious Basterds
ReplyDeleteboth of them exceeded my expectations, which really hasn't happened at theatres since like, the Dark Knight, and they came out within weeks of each other, which is also incredible
They were both FANTASML (yes I just made up a word). I'm a huge Tarantino fan. Minus the Kill Bill movies. Again, they were overrated lol. Not his best work that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Kill Bill (atleast the first one, I didn't bother with the second because the first one dissapointed) and I also loathe Death Proof (the other one from grindhouse too)
ReplyDeleteI was actually surprised with Grindhouse too. I thought I would have enjoyed Death Proof a hell of a lot more than Planet Terror but I actually liked Planet Terror more. I just watched American Beauty again tonight lol. It reminded me just how much of a great actor Kevin Spacey is. I understand why you like him so much.
