Top 50 movies...

But this is the same people who had Tarantino's films in the top ten for a while and now they've slipped out. The same thing will happen to the Matrix.
Bullet time is becoming really boring and cliched and the Matrix doesn't have anything else to back it up.

It's entirely possible. It certainly won't have Star Wars' longevity, but I suspect it will stay up there for longer than Tarantino, especially considering that Pulp Fiction stayed.

I just noticed Spice World is not on the list, this is a travesty 😂

Oooh-kay. Where to start. The list is not a bad one. It has most of my favorite movies, allthough not in the order I would have put them in. I could go on about the individual movies, but I won't.

Now, your comments. Gladiator is not over-rated in the visual area. It is absolutely spectacular, and I can't think of any movies that look better. However, as far as the plot goes, it is way too pompous and clichéd for my taste. Especially at the end. And thus, not on my favorite list. I don't see why you call it a rip off of Braveheart, can you guys elaborate that a bit? I would understand it if you said Spartacus, but Braveheart? There was sword fighting, and the hero died at the end, but what else do you have?

The Matrix is much in the same class. Nice visually, but stupid plot. I was never very impressed with the bullet/shootout scenes (slow-motion is boring and cliché), but I loved the kung-fu. The fist-fight scenes were spectacular, and done with a smile. And agent Smith was great.

To Macco, in what way exactly is the end scene in Fight Club laughable? And you don't like how the fight club turned into a cult? Um, that was the whole concept of the movie. Would you prefer a straight fighting movie, no surprises, no originality, like we've seen countless times before? Pft. No thanks.

And Magnolia. Frogs were raining because the contents of a lake or something had been sucked up by a tornado and dropped over the city. This has actually happened. People in the movie were NOT passing it off, they were all shocked and unbelieving. It was a movie about weird coincidences, and the frog raining concluded it all.

I've not seen From Dusk Til Dawn, but it's quite obvious that it's a vampire move, so your surprise with the vampire appearance is quite puzzling. I think you just have a problem understanding the premises of a lot of movies.

Jurassic Park was an important movie, a milestone in the special effects area. And quite enjoyable. Those kids were painfully annoying though, as was Jeff Goldblum's character (as usual).

Pulp Fiction is a great movie. It's complex, cool, exciting, funny and original. One of my best cinema experiences ever. Tarantino's other movies are good too, though not in the same class.

That 'll be all. For now.

The plot of Gladiator is a rip off of Braveheart which of course copied things from other films but anyway -

BRAVEHEART -
When Wallace is a kid his family are betrayed and murdered forcing him to run away from his country.

GLADIATOR -
Maximus is betrayed by his second in command and Commodus and forced to run away.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace's wife is killed and he seeks revenge.

GLADIATOR- Maximus wife and son are killed and he seeks revenge.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace rallies a small group of men to fight back.

GLADIATOR - Maximus does the same with the slaves.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace is romanticaly involved with the Princess who is supposed to on the side of the King.

GLADIATOR - Maximus is romantically involved with Connie Neilsons character who is supposed to be on the side of Ceaser.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace dies a heroic death in front of his enemies.

GLADIATOR - Maximus dies a heroic death in front of his enemies.

BRAVEHEART - Whilst he's dying he see's his wife.

GLADIATOR - Whilst he's dying he sees his wife and heaven.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace carries a piece of cloth that belonged to his wife.

GLADIATOR - Maximus carries a carved figure of his wife and son.

BRAVEHEART - All Wallace really wanted was to live a peacfull life with his family.

GLADIATOR - All Maximus really wanted was to live a peacfull life with his family.

BRAVEHEART - The King (badguy) is brutal to his family.

GLADIATOR - Ceasor (badguy) is brutal to his family and kills his own father.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace has a best freind who lives at the end. He throws Wallaces sword at the end to show respect for him.

BRAVEHEART - Wallace has an older man who guides him (his freinds dad), he dies.

There is a site about this and I'll try and find it as I've forgot a lot.

Gladiator suxs!!!! Braveheart is kewl!!! 😮‍💨

I can't find that site!!!! 😠

But if you look for Gladiator reveiws you'll see that Braveheart is mentioned in nearly all of them because of the similarities between the two.

There are obvious similarities, some were inevitable, somne less so.

I wouldn't go QUITE so far as to say it was an actual rip-off, though.

I would. But it's still a good film.

OK, firstly:
next year, i hope requiem for a dream enters the list, it's one of the best films i've ever seen.

secondly: there is nothing to understand about From dusk till dawn; it sucked.

Wow! 😱

For the first time since I joined this place, I think everyone agrees with me on something: From Dust Til Dawn sucked a fat one!

Gladiator may not be a RIP OFF of Braveheart, but the two films are very similar. I couldn't beleive that the Oscar went to Gladiator, just six years after Braveheart.

Oscar Nominated films last year:
Gladiator
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Chocolat
Traffic
Erin Brocovich

MY NOMINATIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN:
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Chocolat
Cast Away
Traffic
Almost Famous

And I think the best film of the year (without question) was Traffic. It was a fascinating story of drugs and drug trafficing. It really made me think. For those who havn't seen this movie, I'd suggest you see it ASAP. A lot of my friends said it was too slow. But that's because a lot of my pals don't have the patients for a good story to unfold. Too many people are contempt with fast cars, explosions and some titties. I outgrew that years ago (although some action films are still entertaining).

Requiem for a Dream should be on the list! If it wasn't for it's NC-17 rating, it would of been more commercially received.

Of course, anyone who enjoyed Traffic (something that is very easy to do) should also watch the tv series it was based on, which was even better.

I never saw the TV show. It was pretty good?

I don't really care for that much television. I can't stand all the comercial interuptions. I would like to see (Traffik, wasn't it spelled?)

17, huh? well, in norway it was 15, so even school-classes watched it.

Yes, it was very good, that;s why they madw a film out of it.

The drug chain in the original was Pakistan/Germany/UK, though, each country forming one of the three stories.

And where is Everybody Famous????

I actually liked From Dusk Til Dawn, I thought it was good. Different, but good. And Almost Famous is one of the worst movies of all time. Jason Lee was the only good part of that movie.

I was talking about the Flemish version, the original one, mind you and me, and all the others

I like dark depressing dramas, but Traffic was one of the most boaring movies I have ever seen!!! It was good, but my God it was so hard to stay awake. Drugs are boaring!
