Good Will Hunting is about a Flawless dude? That is a pretty ridiculous statement as Will Hunting in that film is anything but flawless. He's pretty much the definition of flawed.

I know it comes off as pretentious when someone says that you can't be a true film fan if you don't like Shawshank Redemption, but I feel pretty comfortable in saying that. I just don't get it.

[SLAM!]

I haven't seen many 1997 films but this was my list of ten films:

 

1) Princess Mononoke

2) Good Will Hunting

3) Gattaca

4) Amistad

5) Titanic

6) Anaconda

My high school biology teacher showed us this film, actually. I appreciated it for what it was and thought it could use the support on a list like this.

I'll try to catch up on a lot of stuff before I submit my list but it will be very likely be my number one or at least two.

yes. good movie.

 

Gattaca is a shitload better

I'm somewhat expecting Anastasia to show up in the top 15 lol. I can't complain though, it's a great movie (and much better than Disney's Hercules, which is only alright, don't @ me Disney fanatics).

I suppose it's my turn to be a contrarian, because I just saw this one and thought it was bad. It definitely won't be making my list.

I like you, Baumer. Your posts amuse me.

I was so excited for 1997 as the film adaptation of one of the best books I have ever read was coming to theaters and it was being directed by Clint Eastwood and was starring two terrific actors at the time - John Cusack and Kevin Spacey. I attended an opening day screening of Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil and I was disappointed. The film itself is fine and I enjoyed it; but it nowhere as monumentally entertaining as the book. Hopefully someone will remake the film, perhaps as a six episode TV series, as the book is an absolute masterpiece from the 20th century.
