Actually it has all the more merit cause you have to imagine it all in your head and make it look good when the footage is edited and complemented with additional re-creation footage. It's all make believe. It's the magic of cinema. The perfect example of that is The Lord of the Rings, masterpiece at its purest. I will fight anyone to the ground who even suggests it was not brilliantly made, acted and directed.
As for Top 10 lists, I have taken History of Film and there's a few titles that have to be on that list regardless of anyone's personal opinion. I probably wouldn't place Citizen Kane on mine but I understand why it deserves to be there.
Just for the record,
1- Pulp Fiction
2- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
3- A History of Violence
4- American Beauty
5- The Departed
6- The Godfather
7- Forrest Gump
8- Requiem for a Dream
9- Saving Private Ryan
10- Fight Club
Myk, are you studying something film-related? |
There comes the cinema lady
I like your list Suki.
Plup Fiction at 1 wow! Bold^^
Saving Private Ryan must be in the top 3 War Movies with Thin The Red Line and Platoon. Never understood whats so great about Apocalypse Now to be honest with ya.
but, I could never put the Lord of the Rings in there. But thats just my personal dislike against these Fantasy trilogy's I guess..
Also whats so remarkable about The Godfather??
American Beauty was excellent!
Also with the Computer Crap.. I will always remember Shiua LaBeouf only acting in front of green wall when he did Transformers.. I don't see the point in making movies like that. I agree with you, thats not the norm at all.. however, it does get more and more these days.
Also all these Special effect which are being used these days.. makes Cinema less for me, especially this 3-D crap.

I have to disagree here with both of ya. I don't think Departed should be in there just because to many things have been stolen from the original Infernal Affairs from China.
But other then that the acting was excellent and the whole cast just amazing.
Also myk, I have to add another one which should have been in my top 10 instead of The Game.
Apocalypto
An absolut Masterpiece in my eyes!!!
Also you will Love U-Turn, the cast is outstanding and it's from Oliver Stone.
