What is the greatest movie ever made?

Off topic, but don't go too far overboard - after all, we are watching...heh.

Broke out of the mold?! I don't think so.

The BASIC story premise is that computers control the world.

Can you say Terminator?

There are other previous movies that have a similar concept, but this one movie is enough to make my point.

The only thing NEW about the movie was its cinematics.

This being said, I LOVED THE MOVIE! :)

Only cool stuff of Starwars II was the fighting scene of that creature. How did he called again??
Starwars sucks because:
-you have episode 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
- there is no fun if you see great special effects, and in 4,5,6 special-effects with wires around there waste
-the storie sucks in 1 and 2
- what is the movie about??
-I don't see the point of showing us how Darth Vater becoame evil. Show us better action! Something like how the son of Luke Skywalker become also evil (or something like that)
-Did I mention the storie sucks?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Nobody's Fool
The Hustler
The Sting
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

(Just great films with Newman)

Doesn't have to have nonstop action to be a great flick IMO.

Cool Hand Luke

Road to Perdition

Slap Shot

The Color of Money

Also good newman films :D (I've tried to duplicate some of those shots in "Color of Money"... Jesus! They look pretty simple at first, but getting them to work is a real bitch! I would never try them in a game I was trying to win, though...)

I like the fights,, exploding cars, etc but I have to agree with you, the film is really boring taking 2 hours, the had to put the final cut where NEO shows that fancy rays against the sentries to show you the truth about matrix and end the movie:D

I think it's time for me then to make a Matrix 4: Upgraded. Where we find out that part 1, 2 and 3 only was a dream. But Mr. Anderson keeps believing that it really happened. His friends and neighbours thinks he has gone crazy, so my movie ends in a locked ward in the hospital. Above his bed hangs a poster of a white rabbit. So Mr. Anderson did after all followed the white rabbit :D

Good plot but that shows like a film that another person would write just to keep the story alive and make a few bucks.
