Aaaand yeah... that's all I can come up with for now... I have more though that I definetly think people should see! heh

Oldboy
Anything with Bruce Lee in. Really, I think it's important for people to be educated in hilarious kung fu movies.

The Green Mile.

'Pride and Prejudice'

All six hundred and seventy-eight remakes/adaptations.

The Fox and the Hound

*weeps silently*

Can't think of anymore, though.

Many of these were considered classics-to-be in their day, but have been all but forgotten by now. Others are little-known cult classics. Some are sneered at by small-minded people. Some I just really like. Just films you should see before you die. I tried to leave out the obvious more recent blockbusters.

In no particular order:

Office Space
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Reservoir Dogs
The Magnificent Seven
The Seven Samurai
The Usual Suspects
American Beauty
BladeRunner
Alien
Carolina Skeletons
Citizen Kane
Leon
The Thing
Highlander
Jaws
Bad Taste
Equilibrium
Desperado
The Deer Hunter
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
The Shawshank Redemption
Goonies
Lost Boys
Ferris Bulers Day Off
Monster Squad
Evil Dead/Evil Dead II ( Basically the same film, just updated )
Army of Darkness
Predator
Commando
Enter the Dragon
The Big Boss
Fist of Fury
Kickboxer
Cyborg
Terminator
Grosse Point Blank
The Sponge Bob Square Pants Movie ( shut up )
Cowboy Bebop The Movie
Battle Royale

There are a lot more films I could list, but I think people would get bored and stop reading.

Watch them. You'll thank me.

The only thing I've seen on your list is the Terminator. But only the second and the third one. :3

So that would be none, then

I thought maybe you meant the terminator series?

Sponge bob Owns! ... but his movie, sad to say, sucked...

anyway...

Donny Darco
KillBill: Volume I
KillBill: Volume II
All monty Python
At least a few Alfered hitchcock movies... like the lady vanishes *cough* flight plan is a complete rip off of this movie... and not even a good ripp-off*cough*... and spellbound...
Spirited away
Howl's moving catsle

Thats all i can think of for now...

Oh yeah, if you enjoy stupid films. I mean come on, a guitar case rocket launcher? A sweaty mexican sex scene that just went on and ON and ON and ON?

Quentin's joke made me laught though.

You arent seriously trying to tell me that that was the "stupidest" film you could find in my list?

And everything has a reason. The gentleman carrying that particular case was included in the film as he played the lead in the original movie. Desperado is actually a remake of an earlier film by Rodriguez entitled "El Mariachi". They probably just knocked it up for something a little different. Both Tarantino and Rodriguez have strange taste when it comes to weaponry. The Pneumatic-Drill-Stake and Crotch-Cannon in From Dusk Till Dawn ( also featured but not used in Desperado ). Butch's "Decisions, decisions.." moment in the shop in Pulp Fiction.

Its just a trademark. And a lack of realism does not a bad movie make.

In a film that spends most of the time trying to be realistic, yes it does! Some bits just seemed amateur - At the end when antonia and the typical attractice spanish lady are driving off in the 4x4 and reverse to get the guitar case, he leans slightly over the side and picks it up off the road. Presumably he was using his extendable arm for that bit?

I didn't enjoy it. The whole thing was cliched and dull. Oh look, he's going to kiss the girl and then do something heroic, like jump backwards off a building and land comfortably. I think the ending was possibly better than that of matrix revolutions, but i still found it dismal.

And no I wasn't trying to tell you that was the stupidest film on your list, what gave you that impression?

Now a film like commando. THAT'S an idiotic film. Countless continuity errors, a lack of realism, a stupid jamaican steel drum soundtrack that is completely inappropriate and Sully. But it didnt try to be something serious and cool.

The impression I got from desperado was that someone tried to combine action, love and general coolness in the sweltering heat of mexico, and ended up looking like some film student's debut project.

what about Unforgiven?

You seriously believe this is supposed to be a realistic film? Its an action movie. Which particular part made you think this?

Each to his own. I happen to think it one of the best action movies Ive ever seen. Superbly choreographed and excellently shot fight scenes. Passable back story. Fantastic sound track. Excellent casting. It is as cliched as an action movie generally is, but I fail to see this as a problem. Cliches are part of cinema. Its how they are performed that makes the difference. The cliches in Desperado were wonderfully cliched.

The thing that makes this movie great are the shoot outs. They are fantastic. They are stupendous. They have yet to be rivalled by any other film I have seen to date. There have been bigger battles with bigger guns and far more explosions, but none have had the same atmosphere. The rest of the film is just backdrop.
