captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'm tempted to give The Irishman an 11. Even with it being 3 and a half hours long I've already watched it several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This odd piece of cinema runs 8 1/2 hours - what you see is about all you get (from what I have heard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both movies are sooooo good though.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks is one of my favorite older Disney movies, and most people I know haven't seen it. As kids, my siblings and I probably watched this movie a dozen times! I thought Angela Lansbury did well in it - and I always personally liked it way more than Mary Poppins. I've seen most of the others on your list - but maybe a handful - I'll have to check em out! That’s a great one, one of my favorites along with Darby O’Gill and the Little People, Swiss Family Robinson, and The Apple Dumpling gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably the most obscure of the live action Disney films - I don't know if it ever made it to DVD - I have a laserdisc of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themisfit138 | 523 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Lots of good movies already listed. I will add. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Arc Young Frankenstein Aliens T2 Disney’s The Blackhole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralSoul | 502 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm a terrible judge at these kinds of things. The kinds of movies I love are the kind everyone else seems to hate. But here goes... Toy Story Back to the Future Jurassic Park E.T. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Office Space Forrest Gump Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Se7en Spider-Man (2002) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were mostly very successful and popular movies (Office Space and Eternal Sunshine are a little more niche), so unless you mean from some snobby critical standpoint I would say everyone loves them. Forrest Gump and Jurassic Park dominated headlines for months. Toy Story was groundbreaking as the first all-CGI feature. Spider-Man was the first “Marvel movie” (successful) and revolutionized the superhero genre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I was trying to think of movies I objectively think are perfect not necessarily my favorite movies of all time. Also popular doesn't necessarily mean good. But yeah. If I listed movies I love the most I think most people would disagree movies like Billy Madison and The Cable Guy are 11/10 movies lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that is the point of this thread. 3 hours ago, AstralSoul64 said: Also popular doesn't necessarily mean good. True. But I think it is more applicable to music than it is to movies. I feel like I can enjoy a movie or TV show when I dislike an actor, more than I can enjoy a song when I dislike the musician. Because music is a personal expression, while acting is often an expression of someone else. [/tangent] Like @Californication said, talk about the movies that are the best to you personally. It shouldn’t be a guessing game. If we want the so-called “objective” best, we can look at and discuss the top end of numerous ‘100 best films ever’ from AFI, BBC, iMDB, ETC.

Brickman | 3,983 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Some great mentions so far. Mulholland Drive and The Road would be my two stand out 11/10 films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
