Which of the top 250 rated movies on IMDB would you disagree with?

TNT

8/13/18 8:15am

Never been a LOTR fan

Dillinger

8/13/18 8:16am

I've fallen asleep every time I've tried to watch those. And I'm not a napper

Slim

8/13/18 8:24am

What are you talking about? You get like 3 hours of sleep a day

TNT

8/13/18 8:24am

Are you stalking me?

Slim

8/13/18 8:39am

He only stalks DodgerMike, Superkid and Bernard. Get in line.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:43am

It depends on if you appreciate fantasy. That genre is unappealing for

Archaea

8/13/18 8:27am

You used fantasy way too much there. Reported!

TNT

8/13/18 8:29am

My bad. Fans who believe in the fantasy of their football team

Archaea

8/13/18 8:31am

I love fantasy. I've read so much high fantasy. I just can't even with those movies.

Slim

8/13/18 8:32am

Some of the best battle scenes ever take place in these movies.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:34am

does that mean you have 250 movies you'd put in front of them?

Cougarclaw

8/13/18 8:41am

Maybe like 200

Dillinger

8/13/18 8:41am

Never even seen them

Mr. Belding

8/13/18 9:08am

I was not a fan of Se7en

Jesse Pinkman

8/13/18 8:22am

Young Brad Pitt and peak Morgan Freeman? Yes please.

BigT801

8/13/18 8:26am

Plus Gweneth

8/13/18 8:27am

Infinity War is way too high at #30 all-time. Jaws should be ranked much higher

Faceman

8/13/18 8:24am

Probably a good call

TNT

8/13/18 8:25am

Have you re-watched it? The CGI is not good on that one.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:32am

Infinity War shouldn't even be on the list.

scootsy

8/13/18 8:47am

Dark Knight was a great movie, but 40 mins too long

BigT801

8/13/18 8:25am

Interstellar

BYUheaven

8/13/18 8:29am

Godfather, Schindler's List, It's a Wonderful Life, Casablanca. All overrated

Nikomedes

8/13/18 8:30am

Tough critic. I would agree with Godfather, but those others are classics.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:31am

Wait. Godfather is overrated? Wuh?

TNT

8/13/18 8:32am

Go back to sleep. It shouldn't be in the top 250.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:41am

I love Shawshank but Godfather should be #1.

Natedog916

8/13/18 8:42am

What? Godfather is drudgery. Some good acting but pure drudgery. It's chloroform

Archaea

8/13/18 8:44am

It’s a masterpiece. We’ll have to agree to disagree.

Natedog916

8/13/18 8:45am

Define masterpiece. Is it the scope of material? Is it the directing?

Archaea

8/13/18 8:49am

I love everything about it. Story, pacing, cinematography, acting. In my opinion

Natedog916

8/13/18 8:59am

I can't stand all those dark rooms.

Archaea

8/13/18 9:55am

You have terrible opinions and should feel bad.

Sid Vicious

8/13/18 9:58am

I feel bad for you and your choice of music. Fortunately, I am magnanimous

Archaea

8/13/18 10:06am

You also dislike Sacramento, which just shows your taste is questionable 😂

Natedog916

8/13/18 10:23am

My dislike of Sacramento only confirms the righteousness of my judgment. Case

Archaea

RexIdaCoug

8/13/18 8:48am

Disagree with the toy stories, Wall-E and monsters Inc. Fun kid movies but not greats.

Slim

8/13/18 8:31am

Skewed way too heavily toward interests of teenage and 20-something males

Gustav

8/13/18 8:33am

TNT can respect this argument

TNT

8/13/18 8:33am

Pulp Fiction is terrible. And let me clarify before I get a bunch of red thumbs

Odysseus

8/13/18 8:33am

And the first Terminator should be a lot higher

Odysseus

8/13/18 8:36am

Tarantino is amazing. All of his movies are great

Natedog916

8/13/18 8:41am

RE: Tarantino is amazing. All of his movies are great

Odysseus

8/13/18 8:45am

I have yet to see a Tarintino movie I don't love. One of the great film makers

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:28am

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad!

Jezza

8/13/18 9:52am

Cinema Paraiso and Diabolique are ranked too low.

El Careeb

8/13/18 8:33am

The list is made up of all voters. So essentially mass opinion

TNT

8/13/18 8:34am

I know. We (people) are morons sometimes.

El Careeb

8/13/18 8:35am

THAT'S A LIE. SO HELP TNTT HE IS QUITE ANGRY NOW

TNT

8/13/18 8:38am

LA LA Land is not a top 250 movie of all time. Unforgiven should also be higher.

Natedog916

8/13/18 8:34am

Agreed.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:34am

The Bourne Ultimatum and not the Bourne Identity? Doesn’t make sense

man-at-arms

8/13/18 8:35am

Ultimatum > Identity >>>>> Supremacy

Dissenter

8/13/18 9:13am

RE: Ultimatum > Identity >>>>> Supremacy

man-at-arms

8/13/18 10:25am

Wall-E is a surprise. Been among my least favorite pixar ventures

Sir_Ten

8/13/18 8:36am

TNT never saw that one but wasn't it super environmental preachy?

TNT

8/13/18 8:38am

Maybe a little bit. But really just a weird non-talking robot love story

Sir_Ten

8/13/18 8:42am

Not a lousy film at all.

Archaea

8/13/18 8:45am

Yeah, #62 all-time greatest movie?? That's crazy.

rocker

8/13/18 8:57am

My least favorite Pixar movie.

King of Y

8/14/18 10:30pm

Was surprised to see Apocalypse Now at #59

bluegato

8/13/18 8:41am

Shawshank no. 1? C'mon.

byujdmba

8/13/18 8:43am

How in the world is 2001: A Space Odyssey so low? Where's the Kubrick respect?

Fin

8/13/18 8:44am

not as popular I suppose but I thought Less Than Zero should crack that list

boxydutch

8/13/18 8:48am

The bridge over the river kwai is so boring

RexIdaCoug

8/13/18 8:49am

Wow looks like I'll need to watch 12 Angry Men

Crush4

8/13/18 8:50am

It's great, obviously.

Dillinger

8/13/18 8:52am

Excellent movie

RexIdaCoug

8/13/18 9:03am

Notice how Aliens wasn't far behind Alien

Crush4

8/13/18 8:51am

Pulp fiction is way too high.

RalphWiggam

8/13/18 8:54am

Overrated. Patina of "cool" masking a void.

Gustav

8/13/18 10:27am

Too many of those are just recent movies. There are a LOT of classic movies which should be on that list

Blue Print

8/13/18 9:12am

What are your favorite classics that aren't on there?

GOR

8/13/18 9:46am

Don't know about "classic" but old movie that comes to mind is Spellbound.

rocker

8/13/18 9:53am

High Noon, Duck Soup, The Agony and the Ecstasy, The Big Sleep, Sgt. York, The Philadelphia Story, Shot in the Dark.

Blue Print

8/13/18 10:10am

It looks like the list is entirely based on fan ratings so not surprising

Colorado

8/13/18 12:02pm

Yeah. Rotten Tomatoes is probably a better list.

GOR

8/13/18 12:12pm

12 Angry Men is good, but top 5? No way! Same with City of God. Decent movie but

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:25am

12 Angry Men and City of God are both up there for me

GOR

8/13/18 9:37am

Top 5 and top 20? Really? I'm not saying they aren't good movies and don't

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:38am

Fight Club????? No way is that near the top 10 or top 100.

pink22

8/13/18 9:29am

Absolutely it is! One of the greats

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:30am

No way

pink22

8/13/18 9:31am

Yes way

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:37am

Then you haven't seen most of the other movies on that list.

pink22

8/13/18 9:42am

Actually I have seen all but 10-15. I'm a huge movie buff. Any other theories?

CougarBacker

8/13/18 9:55am

It tried too hard. I've seen it 3 times and each time didn't love it.

pink22

8/13/18 10:04am

Sounds like you have bad taste in movies. LOL

CougarBacker

8/13/18 10:05am

Fight Club is a very good movie.

Thrill

8/13/18 10:44am

"Spirited Away" is way too high. If you are going to put in a dramatic

Cougarclaw

8/13/18 9:31am

Unpopular opinion - I didn't enjoy spirited away

yahtzee

8/13/18 9:33am

Inception is the first on on the list I've seen that I didn't like much

Colorado

8/13/18 9:53am

I would only move some up. Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Apocalypse Now

Jezza

8/13/18 9:55am

I saw Citizen Kane and was confused why it was so highly rated an in AFI top 💯.

Narfin'Coug

8/13/18 9:31pm

Good but rated too high: Dark Knight, LOTR, Forrest Gump

Thrill

8/13/18 10:44am

Infinity War is rated too highly, I agree.

Archaea

8/13/18 10:49am

Master and Commander not on the list = stupid list

bennerc

8/13/18 10:52am

I disagree with 2001 A Space Odyssey. Ranked too high. Shouldn't be on the list.

byuluvr

8/13/18 12:01pm

There's a lot that are overrated because of college film students

Sumguy

8/13/18 12:50pm

That list is totally absurd; basically contrived clickbait

BlackBart

8/13/18 10:28pm

Fight club is the most over rated movie of all time.

CougarWildcat

8/14/18 3:42am

Don't blame Jr high for your poor taste in movies
