You have to be able to recognize the difference between movies like "Epic Movie" or "Date Movie" or "From Justin To Kelley" and Lord of the Rings, no? Do you know what goes in to actually making a movie?
One of my favorite movies ever is Groundhog Day. So, because it's my [b]favorite
does that mean I think it's the single greatest movie ever made? No, there's a difference. If you can't recognize the difference between something you don't like and something that has no value at all you have no right to consider yourself a film/movie fan.Or, you're just another person that says things like that to be a contrarian.

Wow...I have zero credibility with a junior member with a total of 16 posts...Should i feel hurt or should i just not give a shit?
Given that there isn't really a way of objectively saying what are great and what are terrible films then everything is subjective. So my opinion that those films are the worst ever stands because they are the worst to me. The acting, for the most part, is shit (with the exception of Ian Mckellen, The cinematography is horrid for reasons i've stated on this board before (long sweeping battlefield shots do not, a good film, make)
If you'd like to know what i consider to be the two greatest films ever then they are "Life is beautiful" and "Garden State"...again...for subjective reasons.
As for movies like "date movie" etc...A lot of people list them, along with the likes of "battlefield earth" and "gigli" as the worst films ever...Not because they've actually gone out and watched them for themselves but because a bunch of critics (who are only using their subjective opinion) say they are the worst.
So you say i've no right to call myself a movie fan...I'd say someone who simply regurgitates the opinions of others has far less of a right to call themselves a movie fan than someone who actually makes up their own mind about a movie rather than being swayed by hype and the opinions of supposed "experts"
