Well this is hard 'cause I love movies...

Secondhand Lions, I watched it today. Very cute movie...I even liked the ending.
Kill Bill Vol. 1, 'cause it was a first date sort of thing with my boyfriend (now of six months.)
The Sleepers, it was...gripping. I didn't even see the beginning and I ended up staying awake two hours past my usual bedtime watching it. Good stuff.

They're just the top three movies that come to mind.

[size=1][color=red] Yisan and Tony, that is fine. It is, as always, my opinion. I would hope that's understood.

Moore [i]does[/i] make some points in the movie. But anyway, yes, it is for the watcher to interpret--as Tony said. If you want to single me out just because I like Moore and just because I stated my opinions, that is fine. That is what it's all about apparently. :p

I would also like to point out, Tony, that many movies and many people will misconstrue things. Look at Bush. Look at almost any person who's gone to power, and they've at least twisted things to their ways. There's innumerable examples. It's not just Moore that does this.

Tony, I would like you to see this movie, then tell me what you think. Do you think the same? Did it actually teach you anything? What did it to for you? I mean, you at least can't just write something off this easily. You have to give it a chance. It's kind of assumptuous just to not see the movie just because you have some inbred hatred. Be more openminded. Don't just write things off. Don't just not see this movie because "you don't like Micheal Moore."

Rather than that, see the movie so you actually have something to justify your saying what this movie is. What you say of Moore may be correct--but it's not like there's other people who are like this.

What of Bush's "God" sayings all the time. What of so many other things.

Ah well. I doubt that did a thing, heh.

There is something to learn from everything, and this documentary is included. Would you agree, Tony? At least at that part? Isn't that enough reason to see it? And if that isn't, then see it just so you can give reason to what you say of Moore even more. But in the end, I'm the one that's saying this movie is worth seeing. . .so you don't have to listen to me at all.

And Yisan, it is a documentary. If it wasn't, then why did it win the "best documentary" award at the Oscars? Exactly. [/size][/color]

[QUOTE=Yisan]well, because they were wrong. I know, it's hard to believe. [i]THE OSCARS WERE WRONG!!!!!![/i] *GASP*

documentary's a fact based. More spliced video together to make what he wanted to be true to seem true to people watching it, aka not fact.[/QUOTE]

[size=1][color=red] Whatever you want to say.

There is people interviewed in this movie--factual information based upon a source saying what they believe. He uses factual information. He just doesn't pull crap out of nowhere that isn't a fact and say, "This is how I see things! Not how they see it, or some see it!"

Moore interviewed actual people from the Columbine area. He talked to a spokesperson for K-mart, for that one Leed or Heed or whatever weapons make that gives many of Columbine's residents a job, who in turn have students. He interviewed Marilyn Manson. He talked about things America has done because we didn't like somoene, just like Dylan and his buddy did (but he did not mean to say that that makes what Dylan did justified, and nor did he even point to this point [i]at all[/i]). He talked to that movie actor that is the head of the NRA.

He talked to many people, and he just didn't put together some piece of **** work that isn't even a documentary.

To have any sort of relevancy, something has to be factual, even if it twists the facts. That is what Moore did. If he made a vision that is his own, that is fine and you simply either agree with it or not.

It's a documentary. Say what you will, but it has factual information in it, it has factual sources and people. Albeit he may have twisted things, but that is besides the point.

Because the main point here is that it is a documentary.

You're the one who's wrong, my friend.[/size][/color]

Though I don't feel like getting drawn into this, Bowling For Columbine is a [i]mockumentary[/i], a piece of filmmaking that has the qualities of a documentary but skews them in a way as to make fun of the subject matter.

That's Moore's entire point of it. Mitch, you can't argue with that. You can't argue that he made Bowling For Columbine to make fun of others. I mean, the whole, "create a bank account and get a gun" scene? That's making fun of people.

Don't be fooled by Moore interviewing real people. Real people or not, the tone of the piece is parody. Much like how This Is Spinal Tap was thought to be a [i]real[/i] documentary, that's what's happening with Bowling For Columbine.

It's far from a documentary, lol. It's a mockumentary.

[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial Narrow]The 3 best films ever in my eyes are probably Bad Boys 1+ 2 (if they count as one), The Matrix (all of them) and Finding Nemo.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial Narrow]The reasons:
[B]Bad Boys[/B] because i find them so funny and different as you have comedy and action mixed together which most people including me normally see as a bad mix but it works great in these films.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial Narrow][B]The Matrix[/B] is the weirdest set of films i have ever seen that i can remember anyway and its just one big story around aload of stories in side it, its just so clever *hats of to the Wachowski Bros.* maybe there will be nother one to follow on?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=DarkRed][FONT=Arial Narrow][B]Finding Nemo[/B] yes i know its a Disney film and yes i no Disney is associated with Kids but WOW it so amazing how they done it if you have the DVD watch the extras your see why i like it (they made it to real) its a great story and its so cute and funny i haven't laughed at a Disney film so much[/FONT][/COLOR]

I would have to go with Mitch on this one guys.

I have seen it and while he does do some splicing; the interviews with Charleton Heston and etc. were authentic.

Favorite movies;
this changes constantly but the ones usually up in there are

1. Suicide Kings
This movie has so many plot twists and turns it has to make the list. All the actors were superb and half weren't even paid. They just wanted the chance to work with christopher walken.

2. Dragonheart
I am in love with dragons and this movie made me cry.
I am also a huge fan of sean connery so that was just perfect.

3.First Knight
Another one of sean connery's movies; he plays king Arthur.
This is such a good movie i can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it.
By next week number three will change, it always does.

[quote name='wrist cutter][b]Three Amigos![/b'] - All I have to do is say the three cast member: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase. All in one movie.[/quote]

The sight gags alone make Three Amigos! worth watching. Some of the funniest sight gags I've ever seen are in this movie. Plus, it's worth it to see Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase in their prime years in this movie.

It's hard for me to think up three movies that really stand out, but I'll give it a shot.

1. [b]Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back[/b]: The movie has it all. Action, adventure, suspense and I even managed to see it without having the famous plot twist spoiled for me beforehand, which made me enjoy the movie that much more. Plus, Darth Vader just kicks ***, no questions asked.

2. [b]Monty Python and the Holy Grail:[/b] Almost thirty years after the fact and the movie is still immensely hilarious and quotable. The movie is just so damn random, yet it all makes sense somehow.

3. [b]Pulp Fiction[/b]: The first of Tarantino's movies that I've seen and still my favorite. The movie has a great sense of flow, even though the events that happen bounce around everywhere within the span of a couple days. It's unflinchingly adult, but it wouldn't work any other way, heh.
