bleh, same song repeats over and over in that movie, worst soundtrack ever. I see the cult appeal of Taxi Driver, but I still think The Departed is better. I was bored watching Robert De Niro play Robert De Niro for 2 hrs.

Funny that the same movies keep getting mentioned over and over.

I pick The Departed, out of the movies I have watched on Blu-ray so far. Sure, the dialogue is stupid, F this F that, and also, it is a lousy that *Spoiler Alert*

no one lives, but I liked the story from beginning to end. Pretty good work.

Is Bridge to Teribithia good for adults with no children?

Yes. Story is a bit adult for children. I don't think anyone under the age of 10 would like it really.

coachD · 01-14-2008, 03:37 AM

I have a odd choices for best storyline:

a. Die Hard
b. Big Fish
c. Spider-Man 2
d. Blade Runner
e. The Host

sj001 · 01-14-2008, 03:48 AM

Figuring strictly the story, and not any tech features, and not acting abilities, I would have to say:
The Departed
The Prestige
First Blood
Kingdom of Heaven
Rocky Balboa
Casino Royale
Blade Runner

AbsentAbe · 01-14-2008, 04:33 AM

Casino Royale
Ratatouille
Meet the Robinsons
Spider-Man 2.1

Chicago (maybe not for the story, but for the production with really good songs and dancing)

Probably the only reason why I own and like this movie is for that scene alone. Classic.

venusiansky · 01-14-2008, 01:42 PM

To only pick a few...

A Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket
GoodFellas

...but there are so many more

Mystique · 01-14-2008, 03:14 PM

Bridge to Terabithia really took me by surprised. Die Hard is probably one of the best action movies I've seen in a while. Gridiron Gang is a good football movie. I bought Into the Blue as a blind buy, and I really enjoyed the story. Memento was pretty interesting since I've never seen a movie like that before and it kept me interested through out. The Patriot was a good movie, I enjoyed that and The Prestige was a good movie, the twist in the end was shocking! I also enjoyed Stranger Than Fiction!

I'm glad you mentioned Black Snake Moan, Blu - I would've forgotten it if I didn't see your post. That title was a huge surprise to me. I would rank Departed ahead of that, w/ Unforgiven at the top.

ground chuck · 01-14-2008, 04:06 PM

the prestige, what can i say i like magic and scarlett isn't half bad to watch either.

ZeeMan84 · 01-14-2008, 06:54 PM

Story wise: The Fountain.

But other equally great movies: Oldboy, Unforgiven, The Blade Runner & Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that I currently own.

LUkassZ · 01-14-2008, 06:55 PM

blade runner
big fish
2001

MasterXeus · 01-14-2008, 07:21 PM

Bridge to Terabithia
The Fountain (Not a movie for everyone)
We Were Soldiers
Kingdom of Heaven: Director’s Cut (Big improvement over the Theatrical Cut)

Rentals

broganreynik · 01-14-2008, 10:48 PM

I would say purely movie-wise these are my faves:
