Why does this bother you?

It was a spirtual ritual of a tribal people if i remember correctly.

Unless of course you're a vegetarian in which case i can understand not liking the scene.

however it shouldn't make you hesitate in liking one of the greatest films of all time.
 
You'll know. The next time you throw out 'You are lacking the judgement to know what a good film is" I promise.

- Now back to our regualry scheduled program -

This list rocks. There are some notable films I can't do:

Buffalo '66, Jacob's Ladder and a small handful of films I have not seen such as Leolo, Songs from the Second Floor and The Cement Garden but this list is closer to what I like than expected. I'd say close to a 28% of your films are on my best ever list ( as others I am sure):


Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lawrence of Arabia
The Godfather II
Closer Encounters of the Third Kind
The Godfather
Taxi Driver
The Road Warrior
The Deer Hunter
Alien (make my choice Aliens)
Schinder's List
The Exorcist
American Beauty
The Planet of the Apes (Original I pray)
The Empire Strikes Back
Reservoir Dogs

Apocalypse Now (I hesitate to put this because of the animal abuse/death)
Huh ? But the human abuse death is okay ? Or maybe you make reference of actual and not 'fake'. Are you a vegetarian ?

The Shining
Reservoir Dogs
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings films
Jaws

That being said:

Where do comment's like "You guy's like crap" come from ? Why I oughta .... !
 
Apocalpyse Now is a great film but when an animal is actually abused or killed for a movie, that's just wrong and there's no need for it. Yeah, I'm a vegan (please don't attack me for it!! LOL).

My sister-in-law to be is a Vegan. At Thanksgiving she ate Tukey Tofu or whatever it's called. I cannot imagine a world without meat.

Burton makes hit and miss for me and when he misses it's by leaps and bounds.
 
I don't believe the animal was killed specifically for the film.

As i recall it was something that was going on amongst the locals and Coppola caught it on film and used it.

Was this discussed in Hearts of Darkness?

My memory is hazy on this story.
 
I own 26 of the movies on your list. As was the case with John, there are several I haven't seen. And then there are some I have seen but didn't care for. There are a couple there that have been praised by critics but I personally found to be overrated.

These are on my top 100 list
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lawrence of Arabia
The Godfather
Bladerunner
Chinatown
Fargo
Alien
Schinder's List
The Exorcist
The Wizard of Oz
Apocalypse Now
Reservoir Dogs
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings films
Jaws
Cool Hand Luke

While not on my top 100 list, these are also good
The Godfather II
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Graduate
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Bonnie and Clyde
The Road Warrior
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Deer Hunter
Blood Simple
The Planet of the Apes
The Empire Strikes Back
Badlands
The Shining
Forest Gump
The Machinist

It's called Tofurkey. Good stuff. If you like meat, any type of meat, you can get it's equivalent in vegan form (but I won't turn this into a vegan thread).:)

I like Burton's BeetleJuice (and some parts of Ed Wood and Scissorhands), that's about it really.
 
Or misses by Apes and Oompas as the case may be.

Touche


Ed Wood is in my 100 but aside from that not too much Burton.

Although i find myself a little sentimental to Big Fish.


And i had some vegan friends who for their sake I'd try the meat substitutes. I tried several. And while they were tasty none could match a superbly marinated NY strip or half a BBQ chicken.

I'm a vegetarian and it doesn't bother me at all.

I'm just saying you're lacking what it takes to know what a good film is IMO. You can't help it. You like crap -- I'm not holding that against you, just saying that the majority has bad taste usually.

I could take a number of the films on your list and say, "You have a lack of what it takes to recognize a good film.". You're acting like you have some pretentious position that lets you judge what is good and what is bad. However, I mostly agree with what is on your list. To each their own. I think the LOTR's movies were sappy and overly melodramatic, but the MAJORITY of people seem to like them. That's fine. I don't think their overall taste is any worse or better than mine.

if it was bad then why isnt solaris on most of people minds. QT made a movie and it was great. for an epic I love it. I mean what else do I got, LOTR? not my cup of tea. Solaris is a different movie and how did this even get invovled. For what it is it is an ok film, I mean there has been better. for what KB, is it s a great film taking the ideas from asia cinema and remixing it. I loved it and I can tell you not many people like either films. Just which one had an appear more than the other? I can watch KB any day to solaris.

I wouldn't say you'd be getting the equivalent. Now that statement is missing by leaps and oompas !

I tried this Turkofokoo. I found it needed to be dipped in the meat gravy we had in order to enjoy it.

A deserted Island ? yes. Survival food ? sure. Meat substitute ? Oompa D Day.

I have the ultimate idea for a modern day retelling of it. Even though people will jump on me and call it timeless. I don't care.
