How many people have said one flew over the cuckoo's nest, which you've continually ignored and refused to add. The whole premise of this thread is bullshit, with a dictatorial thread hoster who refuses to budge on what he has created his list of favourite films.
wait, I'm waiting for the results of the poll so we can form the list, one flew over the cuckoos nest is one movie that i consider very good and I forgot at the moment I was making the draft.
BTW, I just watched for the first time Apocalypse Now! and it was a long time of quality, a good treatment of a topic that is part of american history and thought.
I ask you guys now, how do you decide whether a movie makes the list or not? Is it personal? Do we take it as a whole and like it no matter what others say about technicalities? Or does it have to come up good on most of the aesthetic rules the critics consider?
For instance, and with the justified anger of nagerous, he says he liked Requiem for a Dream, I did find some quality in the movie, good direction, a topic interesting and central to our times, yet I consider it disgusting. It was a pain to me to watch it, it touch me in the guts if you may say it, and thats why I don't like it.
The same is the case of Great Expectations. I know most of you think of it to be an average movie, but I enjoy it every time I watch it. It would made my top ten but this list is democratic, even though nagerous thinks is not.
) and most of the movies you mentioned are very good. Perhaps we need a bigger list. I'm actually watching the movies you guys mention that I haven't watched before.
