Well, we haven't had one of these random "what do you like" threads for a few weeks so I thought I'd start one on movies since we have a music one. The topic is: List some of your favorite films: I'll go first, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Pulp Fiction Star Wars Episode VI (yes I'm a nerd, get over it) Silence of the Lambs Terminator II Raiders of the Lost Ark Shawshank Redemption Planet of the Apes (Original of course) Back to the Future Forrest Gump |

Of those TV shows that I know, I generally like, especially Futurama (I was just watching the pilot on TV, probably the best episode), Simpsons and South Park. I also grew quite fond of the show "Arrested Development", but they don't show that anymore. We also seem to have a consensus that Forrest Gump is a pretty damn good movie.

I was suprised how good the first AVP was, considering it's based on a video game. |

I think I'll go movie-watching at either Dominik's, or Zanalan's. Although I'm not really a big fan of the later Star Wars movies (Star Wars: The Money-Hungry Egotist Attacks Theaters Everywhere part 3) Please put me down as the first party member who found Forrest Gump just too saccharine. Show me adventure movies, modestly intelligent end-of-the-worlders, old film noir movies, an occassional western, and every once and awhile, something with a gladiator. I don't "do" TV. |

I think we all feel the same way about the Star Wars prequels- but, putting it into perspective, they really weren't all that bad. Nowhere near the originals, but it could have been worse. The second half of Revenge of the Sith was actually almost on par with the OT. I do see your point with Gump- them adding all the stuff with Jenny and Forrest's mother dying that wasn't in the book. But the funny parts are good and the idea of 1950s-1970s US through the eyes of an idiot was pretty fun. TV isn't that bad- I barely watch it myself, but you must at least like the classics- Simpsons for example. |

We have reached the downfall of modern society when the Simpsons are considered "classic" television! |

I've watched one Simpsons episode from start to finish in my entire life. Growing up, my sibs and I were only allowed to watch half an hour of TV show a day, down at Gramma's place - with us older kids having to acquiesce to the Barney needs of the younger ones. This does not instill a great love for TV. As we got older, we were permitted to watch such things as the discovery channel, but always had to "fit in" our TV time around a very early supper, my gramma's addiction to the Young and the Restless, and enforced play time in a basement room. (as well as homework, of course.) I watched far, far too many A and E detective shows during my teenage hood for "normal social development" as a result. Magnum PI, I hope one day to be able to forget you... My unusual TV pattern in childhood has left me with little desire to watch TV shows. It's not that I think TV is necessarily dumb, or wasteful of energies or anything, it was just never really an enjoyable past=time in my "formative years," so when I want to goof off and enjoy myself, watching a TV show simply dosen't occur to me. I do however, turn into a couch potato during the World Series. And I'll watch the odd hockey game. I am, after all, Canadian. |

"We have reached the downfall of modern society when the Simpsons are considered "classic" television!" Well, maybe "classic" isn't the correct word, more like a "universal" show that is enjoyed by multiple demographics. What would you consider a classic TV show? The thing about TV is that different generations will consider different shows to be classic, because shows on television don't become "timeless" like movies do. They just go until it stops being profitable (or until the main cast quits, dies etc.), then it gets cancelled. Then future generations won't even hear about what you considered a "classic" when you were a kid. |

Nah, Zombies make me hungry. I love films where robots become evil though. ![]() Oh, and I want to add KPAX to the list of films that I like, it's really insightful. And Van Helsing was good too now that I think about it. Edited by David Eastcorner, Dec 28 2008, 02:12 PM.
