I don't like depressing movies and this was one of the darkest, most depressing I've seen. However, maybe it gave the right vibes for the whole Vietnam experience.

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

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 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

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
