Classic films you don't rate.

Recommended Posts

All famous musicals

 

Surely no "Singin' in the Rain" AMAZING film!?

 

Had a fall out with the missus over 'Crash'.  She said how amazing it is & how it makes you think?  Absolute shite.  You need to watch more films!!

 

And anything by Quentin Tarantino

Bladerunner

2001; A Space Odyssey

Dr. Strangelove et. al

A Clockwork Orange

Manhattan

Brazil

Blue Velvet

The French Connection

Don't Look now

 

And ANYTHING by Terence Malick

Might upset a few people here but I've seen 5 or 6 Bond films and they do nothing for me at all. I knew exactly how the plot was going to develop in each and that kills a film for me.

Look beyond all the style and there's next to no substance there imho.

Matrix is a good shout btw. Boring as shit I thought.

Does anyone think of Bond films as 'classic'?

Never seen Avatar because I thought it would be shit so if anyone ever mentions it to me I say 'yeah, didn't like it', that ends that.

 

Titanic.

Slumdog Millionaire

Gladiator

Slumdog millionaire I liked, the other 2 flipping chronic.

The Russian roulette scenes are good entertainment in the Deer Hunter but the first hour of the film is mind-numbing. It would be much better if it was an hour shorter.

 

Totally agree with that. In fact the Russian roulette scenes are utterly brilliant. But the rest of it is just boring.

 

I'd also go with the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, any of that geeky crap. Stupid, comic book stories jazzed up with fancy special effects. Yawn.

 

I didn't think much to The Good The Bad and The Ugly. None of the characters are likeable and none of them have an ounce of depth, the story is hardly imaginative or interesting, some scenes are seemingly thrown in randomly in a half hearted attempt to add something more to it, and pretty much the whole thing just feels like a forced build up to the end scene.

 

Great soundtrack though, maybe that's why it's so popular.
