Couldn't have said it better myself. I have the same opinion of Tarantino. The word "homage" is thrown around too much when it comes to his movies. It stops being an homage when you steal a lengthy scene shot for shot from an HK movie and then act as if the movie you stole from doesn't exist. Just recently in Bad Boys 2 I saw where Michael Bay stole the village destruction scene from Jackie Chan's Police Story. Same camera angles and everything. It wasn't as long as Tarantino's plagiarized "City on Fire" ripoff but I couldn't help but notice it and be disgusted by it because the average moviegoer knows nothing about the HK genre these hacks are stealing their ideas from. Just once in the credits I would like to see a line like "Special thanks to ------- for inspiring the making of this movie".
The best movies and no one enters anything but a lot of crap
Ok to start off you have too take movies by genre
The best movie of all times bar none
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE
true it is and has religious implements to it
but over all the movie tells a genuine tale of human struggle and the ability to see what you actually posses as to what you don't and do need

dennis hopper? your not a keanau fan are you? coz the matrix was just a copy of all the jet li films. Although ill have a look at that film. And besides ive only registered today i havent been on here for a week, im just a baby
matrix isnt a copy of jet li.. maybe some action but matrix is more about the story and what they did for FX shots.. if you go to imdb the godfather is rated the highest of any movie all time and thats thousands of votes so i suppose it wins might not be your favorite though
Impossible question to answer, really. There are so many things to account for. Genre, popularity, story, acting, camerawork, originality, etc, etc........Far too many factors to take in to even begin to make a reasonable decision
