Baumer's ridiculous, uninformed, stupid list of MY BEST 105 FILMS EVER , FULL LIST PG 42

[The Futurist]

Nonsense, it's way too bourgeois.

The only thing I know about Battleship Potemkin is that the last scene with the baby in the stairs in De Palma s Untouchables is a rip off from a scene from this movie.

No no, I know you guys already know all that.

I don't. But just as I don't like my country's history (even though I love Europe's history in general), I also don't like movie history. There are some things that should only be associated with the present. Films only got better and better with time. Animation on the other hand...

I couldn't disagree more. But that's okay, carry on.

Oh my goodness. lol

So is battleship potemkin not on your list at all, baumer?

What rating do you give it?

[baumer]

I agree with this to a point.  Films have gotten better over the years, but not in every way.  If you don't even give films a chance, how are supposed to know?  Have you even seen Jaws?

 

Anyway, you are entitled to your opinions, even if they are wrong.

James, now I see why you were given such have a pretty face.

Classic film but boring as hell.

[Dementeleus]

The funny thing is that in thirty years James will be bitching about how the kids don't appreciate awesome great movies like JUPITER ASCENDING and TRANSFORMERS and THE HOBBITes.

[Avatree]

I don't. But just as I don't like my country's history (even though I love Europe's history in general), I also don't like movie history. There are some things that should only be associated with the present. Films only got better and better with time. Animation on the other hand... 

I agree that history can be boring. Today's films are flashier, maybe a little easier to watch. Certainly to most people today if they have to pick between watching an old black and white movie and a present day one, they'd choose the present one.

I agree that films have generally improved over time; imo, as more and more films have been made, the understanding of what makes a good film has gotten better.

 

But neither of those things mean you should just write off the entire history of cinema. You don't need to understand it to judge today's movies, but it seems pretty ignorant to just throw it away. The fact that movies have "got better and better" doesn't mean all old movies are worse than today's. Ask most people what their favourite movie ever is, and it's probably going to be older than you are.

This isn't true at all. If you're talking on a sheer technical level, then yes. Otherwise, not at all.

History was always my favorite subject in school, the knowledge to the future lies in the past. 

[James]

Umm, yes. Old acting sucks. It's corny as hell. Staying 2 hrs to atch A flight Over the Cuckoo's Nest in english class was the worst torture of my life.

[Noctis]

This isn't true at all. If you're talking on a sheer technical level, then yes. Otherwise, not at all.

 

Oh, god, here comes Dumbledore defending films that were released in his time.

That's really deep, Jay. Please enlighten us with some more of your thought-provoking statements.

Great job baumer. We have a ton of the same movies on the list, shocking I know. Our top 10 is, at least, 50% the same
