Yeah, I must be missing something because the majority of people like Drive.

 

If I'm gonna watch a movie for style > substance I'll watch John Wick or even Prometheus (garbage movie but good lord it's pretty and I love how lived in Ridley Scott's worlds are). Drive? Puts me to sleep. But hey, that's just like, my opinion man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Cuaron's Potter is a solid Cuaron movie and a pretty underwhelming Potter adaptation.

 

I know I'm alone in this but my top Potter film is Deathly Hollows pt1. Loved almost everything about it, esp the artwork during the story telling of Deathly Hollows story.

 

Same. It's not like Drive had any action or anything to keep you interested, just non talking characters and no driving lol. John Wick and the sequel are so fantastic.

 

Man. I fuckin loved Part 1. I know it's the "boring" one, but I really enjoyed it.

 

I just love all the story beats of it. The teacher dying above the villain table in the opening. the harry clone chase, escaping the wedding and the fight in the café right after, sneaking into the Ministry, I love it all. Its shot so beautifully.

 

Not ashamed to admit that I like the Revenant for purely superficial reasons.

 

depends on what room im in but... you couldnt pay me to watch the revenant again

 

I've seen three Inarritu films and didn't like any of them at all. He is talented. His films are flashy nonsense.

 

Babel is amazing. The Revenant is very good. Birdman is solid. Amores Perros is a bit of a snooze.

 

You have missed little. Amores Perros is okay, but the other five I have seen are various levels of bad. Babel will probably always be his worst, while the other ones are just silly.

 

Drive is style over substance, but it's still a great movie. Only God Forgives is even better.

American Psycho is hysterical and a classic.

The Prestige is great and is Nolan's best work for sure and the rest are okay to pretty good.

 

Sorry for the post you were quoting. I was being a petulant child. No defense for it.

 

I don't feel like this should be as unpopular an opinion as it is, but Inception is hands down one of the best movies of the 21st Century and should be regarded as such. I suppose if you saw it once or only three times, you could accuse the movie of having thin characters or being convoluted in all the exposition (the main faults I read about). But having seen it now about 12 times, it is unbelievable how consistent the world Nolan creates is and how layered Cobb is written on top of Leo's super underrated performance. Obviously the movie looks freaking awesome, but it's also a movie with remarkable depth and it's a shame that few people recognize that. At least the people I talk to.

 

HAHAHA!! Oh man, that's perfect.

I should've clarified I was blown away by Inception the first time I watched it. But there's so much to dissect in that movie it took me a few watches before the character development and acting hit me.

I totally set myself up for that reference though.

 

If you loved it the first time, how can you suggest such a sadistic regiment for others when it was not needed for you? Once was more than enough.

 

I think the Sandlot is the only movie I've seen near 12 times, because I was a kid. Maybe It's a Wonderful Life, since we've watched it as a family multiple Christmases.

 

Haha. I wasn't suggesting people watch the film 12 times. Just suggesting there's more depth than you can possibly get on first watch. And I get something new with each watch, hence the 12 times.

There are far more sadistic regimens.

 

This magic moment...

 

I don't think I've ever seen It's a Wonderful Life all the way through.

 

The most I've seen of this and Miracle on 34th Street is walking by the television when it's on cable. At this point, I feel like it would be like watching Scream after growing up on Scary Movie

 

It's a very good movie, as a lot of Frank Capra movies are.

 

It's a Wonderful Life is my #1 of all time. Always will be
