I do like the shining (I admit i forgot he made that) and i never saw FMJ. I was too little when it came out and i never got around to it yet.

Sorry, but that's crazy talk.
You kids...raised on MTV and commericals, you don't have any attention span beyond 3 minutes. Some films lose a lot on a TV, no matter how big it may be. This film like many others, can NEVER be truely appreciated unless you see it on the big screen. Plus you have to put it in the context WHEN it was made. This was years before Star Wars, The Matrix, LOTR etc. It is Not a mindless action film but one where you have to pay attention and engage it.
I am not a plain M&M, I am a milk chocolate M&M.
Naw. I say Back to the Future is way better than 2001. It's entertaining, the story is about something, it's flawlessly written, has a classic musical score, doesn't rely on visuals of mountains to tell it's story and it has a lot of replay value.
A plain M&M is milk chocolate.

Hahaha that's the funniest thing I've read all year.
Thanks Jeyl! Unless you mean that, and then well that's even funnier.
Duncan Jones' "Moon" just won the Hugo Award. :sleep
Just thought I'd toss that out there. :love

Barry Lyndon is one of my favourite films.
It is just pure Kubrick (so it is also technically brilliant).

Anyone who thinks Kubrick didn't know how to do character after watching '2001' needs to watch his early films. A good one to start with would be 'The Killing' - a totally electric heist thriller, with incredibly vivid performances. Also 'Dr. Strangelove' and 'Lolita'. The incredibly intense dialogue and characters of his early films prove he was deliberately up to something with their absence in '2001'.
As for 'BTTF', the trailer sucked so bad when it came out that I didn't go to see it. So I can't comment on whether it's better than '2001' or not. However, the GF assures me that saying 'BTTF' is way better than '2001' is like saying 'High School Musical' is way better than 'The Dekalog' by Kieslowski. Think I can trust her on that.

Yeah, and I was quoting from an M&M commercial when the company announced they would no longer be calling plain M&Ms plain anymore, but milk chocolate. Yep, they made a commercial out of that. :lol
Film, movie. Who gives a crap what you call it?
