I fell asleep during Taxi Driver and Citizen Kane

Also OG Star Wars never really got my attention like that, only Empire I found interesting

denno if they're considered "classics" but can't really fukk with Disney's animated efforts after 94 (non pixar/CGI shyt).

Jaws

Just stay out the fukking water

Been awhile since I seen it but wasn't the beach a tourist location for the town?

The Deer Hunter

 

[kingdarius]

all the indiana jones movies
Godfather (probably cuz i waited too long to see it. By then scorcese improved the genre by miles imo)
Blade runner

See. I agree Goodfellas is the better film, but talking about Casino like it's Diet Goodfellas ain't a good comparison either. They only thing both have in common are 2 actors and the fact it's a mob movie.

It’s the same basic movie with the same basic themes tho. It’s a lesser version of it by that definition alone.

What's an all time great film though? The Birds? Star Wars? Taxi Driver? "Children Of Men"?

Yeah I’d say those would be “all time greats”...the idea being if you looked at a list of classic movies you’d see one of those.

The Deer Hunter

EXTREMELY slow movie. It's unbelievable.

Some people hold Mean Streets in high regard but that movie was 2 hours of absolutely nothing. It's like when a famous rapper's demo tape leaks to me, meaning that it mainly gets props due to what came after (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, etc), and you can start to see the development of style, but on it's own, it's terrible.

Blade Runner is another one that nearly put me to sleep. Couldn't finish it.

It is. And the mayor didn’t tell anyone it was a shark. Brody wanted to make a big announcement and mayor mccheese was like “let’s not fukk up our money during the Fourth of July” so it wasn’t until the shyt hit the fan did he then decide to close the beach. Once Brody called him the mayor of shark city

Stop talking shyt about mean streets. It is a movie about nothing, just dudes doing low level street shyt. Wasn't supposed to be some epic crime tale. Movie is pretty damn hilarious if you pay attention.
