I know story is a rip off but the experience you get in definitely one of a Kind.

This is not a slam and I aint trying to start an arguement, but I actually thought the CGI was weak. A lot of the animals and Navi's motions and movements looked unrealistic. It didnt look any more advanced than a lot of other good CGI work that I have seen. Thats Just my OPINION and I am happy that you enjoyed it.

im not gonna agrue with you. I respect your words just as i hope you would respect mine. But it is your opinion and no one can change that. I can say that i wish you had an experience like i did but you didnt O well there's millions of other movies to watch

Yeah, cool. I'll probably see Avatar 2 just to give it a chance. He's gotta try something new with the story, so I am open to it.

movie heaven

hahah Yea this is a great film. But that is usual from Alfred. I agree with you on those points 100%

What do you think is his 2nd best?

his 2nd best? whatever is the most recent I've watched of Psycho and Vertigo I'm always prejudiced/biased toward anything I've recently watched.

NBNW is great, but the ending was a little too cliche for Hitchcock IMO. Its probably my #5, with Rope #4

what's your #2? edit: nevermind, u already gave your top 3

EDIT: My favorite moment of RW is when

[Show spoiler]Stewart answers the phone and goes "Lisa! Get back here! Thorwold's on the move!!...(LONG PAUSE)...(BREATHING IN THE RECEIVER)... (STEWART SLOWLY TURNS TO LOOK AT THE RECEIVER) "

It doesn't get any better than that!

Make him an offer he can't refuse, get your own TV.

Yea I tend to be that way also.

I would say as of right now NBNW. Psycho is #1 with Vertigo #4

[Show spoiler]the boys said he was a ship pilot, which essentially means he was one of the ship's captains. The inclusion of the abandoned ship was specifically included to make you question whether he was on the island.

Ah, guess I missed that part. Thanks

I can certainly respect that, The Fountain is indeed awesome, but maybe it's because I'm so young that Requiem speaks stronger to me

Bad news bro. I received it today but it didnt have any artwork so im sending it back for a replacement. I know im picky as hell but i cant stand looking at it with artwork. I am tempted to break the seal and watch it though lol.
