Donnie Darko

meh. didn't impress me much, left me kind of unaffected.
almost like a long "what if..", without any real
consequence.

Butterfly Effect

haven't seen that one.

Blade runner

excellent.

Fear and Loating in las vegas

excellent.

Fire walk with me

very excellent! but can be a pretty serious mindfuck - I
thought it was the scariest Lynch I had seen.

Mulholland drive

oh yes. exxyexcellent.

Bladerunner is very overrated I think

it to be.

could you actually specify what you don't like about the
film?

Could you actually specify what you think makes it so great?
I'm just saying it was an OK film, but nothing special in my
opinion.

why do you feel the need to be so defensive when I simply
ask you to give one or more arguments behind an opinion you
have stated?

Hey? Its not about defensive at all. I don't have to answer
your questioning, who do you think you are? Accept my
response with face value. I simply don't think it is a great
film. Period.

Blade Runner is a film about guy, that chases the androids.
nothing more.

Blade Runner is a classic, its a shame how Ridley Scott went
from this and Alien to GI Jane and Gladiator.

because after 20 years or so its still regarded as one of
the best sci-fi films ever made... i guess that makes it a
classic.

best sci-fi films ever.
i ask - why its one of the best ?

its pointless arguing about Blade Runner, everyone knows why
it is so highly rated, even if they don't like it
themselves.

funny, but i dont really know why it is supposed to be so
great.
maybe i cant understand it, but saying that something is
perfect for 20 years, without explaining why it is so
perfect, is more pointless than arguing about some film,
where dirty guy chases dirty androids.

I've just seen a trailer from butterfly effect; not my kind
of movie i guess, but maybe it's good afterall
Mulholland Drive is some kind of a triller? I didn't like
twin peak, so i'll prob don't like this movie either

yeah its a thriller, and very dark. if you didnt liked twin
peaks, you will waste time watching mulholland drive.

Kurosawa's - 'Red Beard', the last film he made with Toshiro
Mifune. I'm about to watch it.

yes i watched it, but for me Toshiro Mifune has his moments
in earlier films. which means that the earlier are better,
imo.
but "Red Beard " is good too, heh, really, i couldnt find
bad Kurosawa films
