There's the science-nerd/gadget/inventor kid, the introspective kid who is too sensitive but can see things others can't, and the tough scary outcast kid who ends up doing the heavy lifting. I actually never thought of them that way and now I have a reason to watch this movie again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then it showed up and I was like "oh not only does it still exist but people think about it enough to list it in their Top 100 films." ....I just watched Blazing Saddles last week for the first time. It's tremendous. What the fuck do people even like about Bridge Over River Kwai? It's an okay movie, but what about it really scratches your itch? The total number of people that will have voted for Shawshank is going to be outrageous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has certainly proven to be the most correct and accurate thing I've said on this board in many years.

I need to watch it again. I watched it on this bizarre DVD copy I have that plays the entire movie, then replays the entire first half again after the film has ended. So when I was watching it for the first time I was going "This feels like the beginning of the end, how much time is left? Wait, how is there still two and a half hours? How long is this!?" 5 hours ago, RIPPA said: 31) PSYCHO (1960) Director: Alfred Hitchcock 620 Points (12 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: Raziel (#8) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Execproducer, DFA, Z, Ed, JT, Hobo Joe, Sublime, Caley, JH, Jae, Natural IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (96%) Criterion Collection: NO Previous DVDVR Poll Placement: #10 (60s) My #28.

J.T. Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Shawshank will potentially crack the Top 40? Holy fuck. I know it did on my ballot, but I expected a lot more hate from everyone else. I was the highest vote for Wizard of Oz and OFOTCN, but I wasn't the high vote for Psycho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it did on my ballot, but I expected a lot more hate from everyone else. Because I was braindead trying to quickly throw my ballot together (it definitely shows), I regrettably put it on my ballot with the only logic being that I do watch 10-15 minutes of it when it's on cable. I watch a lot of lesser films like that on cable, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to give it unfair bonus points because it is one of the few film conversions of material by Stephen King that is pretty good and is fairly faithful to the source. I love The Shining as a movie, but it blows goats as an adaptation of the novel. Don't get me started on Nicholson's casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I thought about trying to put together an answer, about Guiness' wonderfully one-dimensional performance, maybe the most vivid of its kind ever on the screen, of the way the movie balances a drama focusing on how humanity both buckles and perseveres under the weight of captive oppression and a daring action movie with Holden's roguish heroic American contrasting with Guiness' stubborn mule British stiff upper lip, about how it's shot and how the jungle becomes a character unto itself, etc. etc., but I probably wouldn't do the thing justice.
