We all had to.

He just can't give up on The Godfather 3 ... I mean ... the horror

 

of course, I do like that film, it's just not the greatness that the first two are.

And also, they films should honestly be judged as a whole because it's totally gestalt. The sum is greater than its individual parts because you really gain an appreciation for the story arc that you can't really incorporate into your judgement when looking at the individual constituent parts.

But when looking from the perspective of the whole 3 film story-arc, it does contribute to a certain extent.

At least you have SW ric other than that your list blows lol

Of the stuff I've seen ... Ric has some great choices ... it's just a list filled with films I've never seen, so it seems horrible and foreign to me.  Not the movies themselves existence, but their individual greatness.

Citizen Kane is not a masterpiece.  You are told it is so you say it is.  They have brainwashed you to think that.  It's one of the most boring films ever made and it has some of the worst dialogue and acting of any film ever made.  

 

Tinker Tailor was good but top 100?  Naaa

 

You have Jaws and ET, so that's good.  

 

Amour I understand.

 

Tree of Life?  WTF? 

 

You also have Goodfellas and Raiders and that's good as well.

 

We Need to Talk about Kevin was a horrible experience.  But it also gets me to understand the kind of film you like.  

 

Dude, Thin Red Line?  Come on.

I've never seen Citizen Kane and have ZERO interest in seeing it. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Go fuck your own piece of shit. My piece is amazing. Chariots is a masterpiece. Emotionally resonant without being overly sappy. 

When I post my list. I respect an apology. .

Oh, you have to see it.  You have to see the film that has brainwashed the world into thinking it is something that it is not.

I was enthralled with Citizen Kane. The way te story was told was not only revolutionary, but also captivating. I loved the experience. And after the movie is over and you digest the influence it had on every single film that proceeded, you can't help but stand in awe of it. Everything about the film is great and masterful.

The only time you can speak of a trilogy as a single unique whole is if it's planned as such from the get-go (and preferably as a single production). LOTR and IVAN THE TERRIBLE (well, that's 2.1 movies, I guess)? Yes. THREE COLORS? Maybe. GODFATHER, STAR WARS, etc? No. IMO, of course.

 

Oh yeah, and CITIZEN KANE is a great movie. It's engaging, funnier than people give it credit, and still holds up, over 60 years after it was made. That's staying power.
