Dr. Zhivago (I thought it would never end)
Casablanca (And to the PP who said it's on the top of movie lovers' lists....we'll have to agree to disagree)
Lost in Translation
Napoleon Dynamite
Black Swan -- Natalie Portman's performance (the movie was ok as was Mila Kunis)


Could not disagree more with Princess Bride! Love, love.

And no more spoilers (PPs posting about Shawshank I'm looking at you!)

The novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" was published in 1982. The film "The Shawshank Redemption" was released in 1982. Hardly spoiler material.

Correction:

I'll never understand why they killed off the crooked warden. Wouldn't it have been much better to let him live out his days under the awful prison conditions he created?

Disagree with the first poster. This is in my top 5 favorite movies.

Alrighty then.

Yup. It's unlikely that I'm going to see eye-to-eye with anyone who thinks that Jim Carrey is worth quoting. Talk about overrated. And juvenile.

Couldn't stand Ghost, Napolean Dynamite, or A Fish called Wanda.

Was meh about Titanic and the Bodyguard. And really disappointed by Zero Dark Thirty.

Won't admit it publicly, but liked the American Pie series and Love Actually.

Love Actually is fantastic!!!!! And I'm looking forward to the one that comes out Nov 22nd with Rachel McAdams.

I die a little inside when I read posts like this. You don't like cinema. You like mass media, test marketed pulp, turned into a motion picture to make you feel good.

I am not a snob. I promise. I loved Bridesmaids. But I saw it for what it was.

Oh, bite me.

The fact that you see that as a Jim Carrey quotation is telling.

Agree!

Are you both insane?

I must be insane as well. My husband loves this movie. I can't watch it. (And I actually love all most movies, pretty much everything people love and hate on this thread.)

The big lebowski is brilliant.

I still can't get over people hating A Fish called Wanda.

Some aweseome lines in it that still run through my head:

Oh you English are soooo superior . . .well you know where you'd be with out the good ol' United states. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire.

I don't care who you are, Mr Manfrenjensen, but you need to leave this instant!

You also stepped into a dark place, whoever mentioned they hated Best in Show. That thing is funny from start to finish. Example,

"We met in Starbucks. Actually, I was at one Starbucks, and I saw her at another Starbucks across the street."

Next someone will be saying they hated Fletch.

+1000 for English Patient -- so terrible and slow moving, real torture, saw it because Oscar winner but wish I could get those hours of my life back.

+1 on wishing I could get those hours of my life back. Love the Seinfeld episode where Elaine feels the same.

No, it wasn't. But half of Oscar winners for a full-length feature are mediocre, to say the least.
