Dementeleus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) 10. Woody Allen movies Yep. I've never really gotten into him or them. Even the ones I've liked I don't feel any passion or love towards, and honestly at this point the skeezyness of his personal life has also tainted my opinion.

Noctis Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Christina Vicky Barcelona, and Blue Jasmine are the only Woody Allen films I like. Funny story. My World History teacher in Boston knows Woody Allen. Her husband is his cousin. Apparently, he was at a funeral and someone referred to him as Woody and he literally stormed off. Creep.

Jake Gittes Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I still want to see Zelig and The Purple Rose of Cairo. Those seem like the most promising of his films I haven't seen yet, but among his most celebrated classics (Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters) I don't have any film I love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Put together baumer's, chassimi's and Tele's list and you have all films ever made that this forum likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Can I make a list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 And you really should edit the thread title to "top 250 films..." at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Disney movies, Rocky movies, Woody Allen movies... Tele obviously wants to win this "how many people you pissed" competition so bad that he decided, instead of playing it fairly and just naming one film each time like the title suggested, he will just list as many movies as he can in one post.

Dementeleus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Disney movies, Rocky movies, Woody Allen movies... Tele obviously wants to win this "how many people you pissed" competition so bad that he decided, instead of playing it fairly and just naming one film each time like the title suggested, he will just list as many movies as he can in one post. They're homogenous and generally praised (even just on brand name alone), so why not include them as one? I could list one specific example for each, but that's too narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Agree about Potter, it could have (should have) been one fucking amazing film. We got one good film and one almost great instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Id love to see Noctis' list. It would probably say "every film baumer loves except Perks of Bwing a Wallflower is over rated trash" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have no idea whos going next. But tele and chas arent done yet....so at least wait for them to finish. Snoopy and me are next. But since Tele is making his list at the same time as Chas, we might run alongside each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) 9. Transformers 1 What can I say? Michael Bay set loose in a Hasbro toy universe is a match made in heaven... or more accurately, hell. Aside from Bay's typical (and constant) "cool" shots, there's little to recommend here -- the human characters quickly conform to typical one-dimensional stereotypes, the robot characters are basically non-existant, the plot exists basically to connect each 90-sec insta-scene to the next one with little concern for a cohesive story, and even the big fights between the Autobots and Decepticons -- something you might think Bay would nail -- end up being a bland mashup of 10,000 gray metal parts flashing around connecting with 10,000 other gray metal parts. This is the movie that signaled the beginning of Bay giving up on any effort at big-boy smart adult action and becoming basically the kid of giant-budgeted toy commercials.

BadAtGender Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I've only ever seen one Woody Allen film: Everyone Says I Love You. I don't really remember it, either. I know I only watched it because Natalie Portman is in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 9. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl People like to dump on the sequels, but all their problems are evident in the first movie (just buried a bit more under the novelty of the story, since it's the first one). The plot is way too convoluted for its own good, Bloom and Knightley are pretty but their characters are bland as hell, Depp minces around and gets all the one-liners, and the film generally has that typical corporate approach of generic contemporary "period" action: 21st-century sensibilities smashed anachronistically into older times. None of these things are inherently terrible problems, but while the movie has a lot of action, little of it really stands out, so for the most part its noise and fury to little effect. The first sequel actually improves on PEARL: it embraces a Looney Tune-esque attitude toward action (where the first was far too determined to have "realistic" action), it takes its characters in more interesting directions, it has a truly fascinating villain with some meaningful motivation... but the first movie is praised as one of the greatest adventures of its generation. Not even close. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Transformers is not on the list bud. Theyre some of my favourite films. That was a joke. LOL, I just stopped reading there. Now, that makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Pirates 1 is probably a top 5 blockbuster to me since 2000, Im heartbroken. Edited January 23, 2015 by Jay Hollywood 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
