Hmm.. funny I've never caught this topic before. Guess I should give credit to the topic-bumping newb. :b I'm kinda with Young_Jedi, there's usually whole sets of movies I really enjoy, as opposed to just single movies, not counting those are just single movies, of course. That's not to mention I like a lot of movies, but get in moods for certain ones from time to time.

With that said, here's a current top-ten list, some my all time faves, and some I've enjoyed most lately. I almost guarantee 30-50% of this would change within a month. :roll: Anyway..

1. RoboCop  (Well you know that already)
2. Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (Always on the list)
3. Star Wars - Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (Recently gotten back into Star Wars)
4. Ghostbusters (Almost always in top ten)
5. RoboCop 2 (Plenty enjoyable most of the time)
6. Terminator (The original is always good)
7. Dirty Harry (Ain't seen it in a while, almost forgot how great it was)
8. Full Metal Jacket (A good showing a Vietnam in a nutshell)
9. Men At Work (Absolutely fucking hilarious film)
10. Predator (Arnie's best, not counting maybe Terminator)

Wow, I don't think there are many that agree with you there.

Personally I wouldn't even call it a Bond movie; more like a "Bourne" copy. None of the humor or finesse that goes into a classic Bond, just a bunch of loud action tied together by a paper thin plot with no memorable scenes or bad guys. (and the title song is rubbish...)

Ok action movie but I hope they put some more effort in it for the next one.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I liked it. Previous Bond efforts have been slow-paced with hammy acting and thin, often ridiculous, plots.

The new Bond series breaks away from the archaic traditions of the prior Bond's and has brutal action, decent stories and reasonably believable characters. No more invisible cars and melting ice palaces (WTF?), now a gritter, more realistic Bond, which is just what the series needs.

I never really like the Bond series until Casino Royale came about, and welcome the change.

You do mean bond 1-21 right?,

You're nuts, Quantum was the BEST Bond film to date.

Actually Im not, Im not trying to sound big headed but I know alot about bond seen all of the movies at least 10 times, not including the dire film that is QoS, I know what comes naturally to a bond film, and QoS had none of it, there was no charm, no big adventure, Bond to me was a thug, and fighting some small time bad guys over a water supply. 

The bond I know would save the world and have the girl, this had neither. The inclusion in the other bond girl who is supposed to bring him back to England and he sleeps with her and she gets killed, WTF!!!! no back story and the scene is a rip off of goldfinger.

Bond flicks arent supposed to be like Bourne flicks, there meant to be over the top and escapesim like, I loved casino royale since it established the James Bond legend, and this didnt progress anything about bond, no trademark line "bond, james bond", which im really pissed at, no gadgets apart from a phone. Gun barrel sequence at the end of the movie, poor song and poor choice of singers.

Bond can be serious and have emotions Ala Living daylights (one of the best bond films), but this time around daniel craig looks forced into stuff, he does play a good bond but they have to give him better material to work with, though bond has went the other way and been completely OTT ala Die another Day, I enjoyed it alot, since Brosnan is my fav Bond. 

But in no way is this film the best bond flick and you said casino royale got you into bond? So does that mean you havent seen the other 20?

So does that mean you havent seen the other 20?

No, I've seen a good chunk of the original films, probably 11 or 12 and me and my father have gone to see them all in theaters since The World is Not Enough. But they never captured my attention to want to go back and re-watch them. Some I liked more then others, but never felt engrossed in the series, and I never really believed James Bond as a character.

Then Casino Royale came about, and I was like "Hey, this is something new" And better. Yeah, it doesn't have the classic trademarks of James Bond. Good I say. The series is cheesy and corny and unbelievable anymore.

James Bond isnt based on real life, so there allowed to be corny, roger moore's bond was funny as hell and I couldnt take him seriously yet I still loved the films and the chessy villians, I mean I could argue that Robocop is unbelievable, but its not meant to be serious, hence movies are about fun, if bond was based on a true story then I'd understand

-----------------------------------

QoS was such a mess. Flimsy and transparent plot that was nothing more than a ploy to have people get shot at, and absolutely no resolution to anything. Bad CGI. Bond kept taking responsibility for shit he didn't do. 

Bond can do "serious" and still be Bond. But when you strip away his humor and nonchalance, his gadgetry, his villains, and the rapport between himself and the others in MI6, you no longer have Bond.

People are free to enjoy QoS, but it is a Bond film in name only.

It's sad, after the craptastic Die Another Day and the fantastic Casino Royale, Bond's gone all the way around to the other side of the scale, from fantastical crap to realistic crap.

Man, this is really getting off topic.

with this whole james bond argument, i like all 22 james bond movies. all for different reasons. i don't really care if quantum of solace had the same editing as the bourne movies, i can see it but its not a big issue for me. i enjoyed it. anyway, a lot of the other bond movies are unoriginal in parts too! i just think its funny how quickly people turned against the new bond movie. it reminds me of the license to kill days.

Mon Aug 11, 2014 3:41 pm



-----------------------------------

^ Oh yeah, I forgot about the new Conan.. how discourteous of me. :b 

I was looking about that and thinking on it, I might change merely an entry or two at most (changes might be heavier if I did two lists like yours, might actually wanna think up separate 'serious' and 'geek/awesome' lists like you). Anyway, ten's kinda that magical number where I always seem to have one or two that can be a bit nebulous, they may change depending on my mood or a particular period and such.

So that said, I might bump off R2 (horrible, I know) and replace it with something on the dramatic side, probably Silence of the Lambs. Maybe put Patton in place of T2 or TESB. Otherwise, the rest stays as is.

Thought it might be time to update mine. Won't be too different, but still:

   Batman (1989) / Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
   RoboCop
   Transformers: The Movie (1986)
   Terminator 2: Judgement Day
   Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie
   Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
   Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
   Flash Gordon (1980) / Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All
   Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
   Pacific Rim

Ofcourse, the list changes all the time, as there are waaaaaaaaaay more than 10 movies that I REALLY REALLY love. I will say this though, off the top of my head, "Pacific Rim" is the only relatively new live-action movie that's become an absolute favourite of mine.

I think Pacific Rim is the only movie you listed that I can't get behind.

Although I'm more of a Last Crusade guy over Temple Of Doom.

And while I am a huge Power Rangers fan, and I do like the movies for what they are. There are just so many episodes that trump those movies.

I like you dude. I like that we like similar things, but yet we're completely different.

Oh, and thanks Stan  :D

Your welcome. I'm actually with you (Crusade > Temple), but that matters not - Raiders always get the top spot between the lot for me, as it should. Even if it isn't in my top ten (or wasn't at the time of that list, anyway). 

Bah, I can't be limited to just ten in these things.. movies? Need a library. Music? Need a, uh, library. Cars? Need Jay Leno's garage. Guns? Need the construct program. Magazines? Need a newsstand. Porn? Need the internet. :b

Pacific Rim is probably the only movie I've seen in YEARS that actually couldn't leave my head for days after seeing it in the theatre. I really really enjoyed it. Oh, man, and that theme song!!
It does have problems, mainly the Kaiju designs I think are somewhat uninspired, but as a whole, it made me feel like a 5-year-old kid again. And I like that! 

Although I'm more of a Last Crusade guy over Temple Of Doom.

I know I'm kind of a minority on Temple. I'm not really sure why it's my favourite of the bunch. It just has a lot of my favourite elements in the Indy movies - Mola Ram, Short Round and the March of the Slave Children.


And while I am a huge Power Rangers fan, and I do like the movies for what they are. There are just so many episodes that trump those movies.

I agree, there are plenty of episodes that absolutely trump both movies. The thing is, back in the 90s, we didn't have the show on TV (it started airing here somewhat regularly with season 11). We had very few episodes of MMPR on VHS and it was great luck if you could find them at the video store. The movie however, was a different story. I used to rent it all the time when I was visiting my grandparents and I still remember the night my mom actually bought the VHS for me. I would watch it all the time, clutching my "Ninja Megazord" in hand (which at the time was the only PR toy I had,  and I was thrilled it's the same Megazord from the Movie). 


I like you dude. I like that we like similar things, but yet we're completely different.


Same here, man. Same here! :)

Dredd 2012 rules pretty damn hard.

But yeah, I like all the original Indiana Jones movies. Temple is still really solid in its own right, there was just something about Last Crusade as a kid and even now that I always gravitated too. ALthough as Stan said, Raiders is just kind of flawless.

Pacific Rim- Like, I don't know. I didn't see it in theaters, and i knew absolutely nothing about it going in. But I went in wanting to enjoy it. I found a lot of it(characters, dialogue, story, situations, etc) to be really cliche, predictable, cheesy, and quite boring. Cause It's a pretty long movie, and I had a hard time sitting through it and staying involved in what was happening. I found the cheesiness I mentioned bothersome as that's not what i think they were going for. The movie from start to end seemed pretty serious, but for me it just lacked the depth for me to take it seriously. I didn't have any problems with the music though. The designs for the Kaiju I thought were decent enough. I was disappointed more with the Jaegers. I remember first seeing Crimson Typhoon and being stoked for it to fight.....then it got annihilated really quickly and I was bummed out. And unlike most movies I watched as a kid, I just can't enjoy CGI special effects. I know 99% of that movie would be impossible or too expensive to do any other way, but a lot of it looked kinda dumb to me. So while it wasn't the worst movie ever, I certainly am in no hurry to re-watch it anytime soon.

Power Rangers- Now those movies(even with all the bad things about them) I can still appreciate them as if I were a kid again, cause my opinions there are pretty much exactly the same. And like with Turbo the series and movie, as a kid and even now: I hated/hate the character of Justin with a burning passion. Aside from that, the only stuff that bums me out is the production problems they had. Anywhere from funding to the script and everything in between. Or just little things like Ernie being cut from the MMPR movie, and it was just one little cameo scene!

I'm with you there, all the way, dude. Crusade was always my no 2. Indy film, was then and still is now. Don't get me wrong, Temple is plenty awesome, but it too never grabs me quite the same as Crusade. Tough to explain though.. I think perhaps, for me anyway, the tone to the music (much of it with a 'sun setting' feel to it, fitting since it was pretty much the last film in the set) and the father-son element (with Sean Connery especially), always was something that spoke to me more. I think I might not be the only one who feels that way.

It's interesting since The Last Crusade is almost a cookie-cutter sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark - it takes place after Raiders, returns the Judeo-Christian mythos, Nazis, Sallah and Brody, pretty much most of everything from Raiders. Temple of Doom, by contrast, was a prequel that took place before the other films (Though not by much), and more than that was actually different - differing story/mythos, none of those returning characters, and so forth. Many of those same elements are there, but almost all are in totally different wrappers. It was/is refreshing, but perhaps a bit too much so. 

Plus some people found Temple a bit too graphic compared to the other stuff - I never did so much, hell Raiders had a guy's face melt off - But I can sorta see what was meant by that. The violence, and indeed much of the atmosphere of that film is rather sinister and dark, not quite the same as the other movies. I can see how that put people off a bit. I myself find it a nice contrast and enjoy it, but still, not exactly as much as Crusade.

All-told, I like both The Last Crusade and Temple of Doom about the same, though in different ways - I enjoy Temple because it's different from Raiders, and I enjoy Crusade because it's, well, kinda not. But in some way, Crusade always got the edge for me between the two.

But Raiders is always best, fools! :b

Batman (1989) / Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
   RoboCop
   Transformers: The Movie (1986)
   Terminator 2: Judgement Day
   Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie
   Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
   Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
   Flash Gordon (1980) / Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All
   Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
   Pacific Rim

I absolutely adore Pacific Rim. I just hesitate about putting very recent films in my top 10...I feel like I have to give it time first, no matter how much I like it. Same goes for Dredd, which was my favourite film of 2012 by a long way.

If you'd asked me this when I was a kid I would've had Batman & Robin in my list, so what do I know? What have I EVER known?
