That's actually how I feel about -
Milk
300
Slumdog Millionaire
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
So Wormraper isn't nuts, this movie just isn't for him and I think the rest of us should respect that.

Way to thread , .

Definite top 10.

LynxFX · 12-02-2009, 06:09 PM

Top 10. I don't have a definitive #1. It is my favorite wrongly accused prison drama by far.

If someone described a movie like this, most people's definition would be that the movie sucked. If it looks like a duck then its a duck! Why own a movie u felt this badly about?

Got Em!!

He is not thread . This thread is THE place to voice your opinion, good or bad.

Q? · 12-02-2009, 06:12 PM

I voted in the 51-100 top, depends on my mood really.
I consider this to be in my 250 though

Yea I wouldnt consider it thread since its about 1 movie in peticular. Highly disagree but he has the right to voice what he feels. He should sell or trash the blu-ray he owns though.

Got Em!!

It's just his opinion and it should be respected, even if you vehemently disagree. It would be like me saying that you are crazy and should see more films if you list it as a "definite top 10" (which would not be warranted, even if I think it).

Yeah, but doesn't a persons negative opinion of a movie deserve some scrutiny when that person actually owns said movie? Just seems weird to me.

Red Hood · 12-02-2009, 06:38 PM

Could have been a blind buy.

I never seen the movie, I don't have a desire too.

Although in my Flickchart it is ranked at #10. Can't seem to quite get that list to align exactly with my tastes, but it's getting there.

I think it's a good movie, and like I said, I think the performances are outstanding...but in 100+ years of filmmaking, there are several other movies that would make my list first

I usually sell or trade the movies I don't like, as you can tell by my trade rating. The only knock I have on this movie is it's in a digibook and not a regular case.

So u keep movies that are terrible? U dont try to sell or trade them? Got Em!!

toef · 12-02-2009, 06:51 PM

I hit the wrong button. I meant to hit 31-40, but hit 21-30 by accident. Oh well.

After thinking about it more, maybe I'd bump it back a bit more. It's definitely somewhere in my top 100, but I can't really say where unless I had a pile of hundreds of movies that I could arrange on the floor.
