The Film Room GOAT list #3- Minority Report

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

Those are your reasons why you can’t put this as an all time great?

All of those films are better imo and I love Minority Report. its not a top 3 anything.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Aliens
The The Thing
Aliens
hell even Strange Days

Aliens is the Goat

Aliens is the Goat

Breh every time they try to make shyt deep i make it simple. Aliens. Terminator 2. Predator. The Thing, When something matches any of those we can talk. Minority Report is Great. One of my fav films. hell. Children of Men as well. but its second tier. When these second tier films spawn gaming culture, movie culture, and pop culture like those films get back to me. And we can discuss greatness.

I agree.

I gotta throw Terminator on that list tho. The trifecta for me is

T1/T2
Aliens
Predator


All the very best of the best. No doubt the Thing is top ten. Alien as well.

when I think of GOAT films, I look for influence, changing of creating a genre, or top notch in all technical aspects. Minority Report is an interesting film from that aspect because in film, I wouldn't say it is that influential but for the themes involved in the movie and what we see in the real world, it can't be denied. You look at the whole "arresting people before they commit crimes" that was a clever way of discussing cops' biases towards black people and minorities and how you're seen as guilty before doing anything. You also have all the aspects of government surveillance for the so called "freedom of the people", ads made for specific people, and the danger tech poses in the wrong hands (Russians and social media spamming). So one can connect the dots with some of the themes to real life but does all this make it a GOAT film

I'mma say no, in just the sense of a film, it's good but not up there with some of the GOAT sci-fi films

Speak that shyt fam.

 

[HHR]

Hell yes

 

[Taadow]

I don't be in here a lot, but absolutely yes.

It takes a handful of things I don't particularly care for:

- Sci-Fi
- law enforcement
- Tom Cruise
- Colin Farrell

and still manages to make it palatable and tell a great story.

I’m torn on this one. It’s prescient as hell, and dope neo noir. There are so many little things it does well to build the world around the characters and Tom cruise goes through a lot of shyt. The material was done justice. It’s not my fav cruise and Spielberg collab nor do I think it’s one of his top 10 movies.

Off the top of my head:

Raiders
Jaws
ET
Close encounters
Color purple
Schindler’s list
Jurassic Park
Catch me if you can
Duel
War of the worlds

So I’m not a complete no but I’m not a yes either. @FlyRy sway me homie.

Niccas that dinner table scene one of the top 5 moments in cinema history

Just slowly being led to slaughter

Just slowly being led to slaughter

Lol nah. It’s from the filmspotting podcast. They have these things called “sacred cows” and these are the untouchable movies. Like godfather or apocalypse now.

They do something on filmspotting I’m thinking of stealing for the board. Every March they do their own version of March madness with movies. This year it’s 90s movies.

 

[the cool]

This is one of my favorite movies of all-time.

To this day I see things and automatically think Minority Report.

But when I see people talk about Spielberg's best this gets dismissed. It's somehow underrated even with the talent involved. ( word to Catch Me if you Can).

What say you film brehs?

one of my favorite movies of all time

After really thinking about it, I'm gonna say YES. It's on the cusp, in that it's looks beautiful, the world is captivating, keeps you entertained and memorable enough characters, as well as having style. It really is a modern Blade Runner. However, one of the knocks against it is that it's Blade Runner-lite. Everything in the movie is a homage/ripoff of things we've seen by this point. But it'll be like that for a lot of movies, so I can't hold that against it too much.

But every time it's on, I'll watch it. And it randomly pops in my head as something I want to watch.
