[Maximus Rex]

You misunderstood what I said. Of course I do, but when people talk about Kubrick greatest films, that 2001 is regarded as some sort of fucking masterpiece.

Really nigga 2001 is better, than T2? Better than Alien? Better than Aliens? Better than Episode V which everybody knows is better than a A New Hope which they have listed as number 2. The only people feeling 2001 are people that are in the industry or want to be in the industry, Kubrick stans, or muthafuckas who watched that bullshit off hella acid.

 

[allied]

I would have to say Scarface even though I still like it a lot. Carlito's Way>>>Scarface.

 

[Maximus Rex]

Carlito's Way>>>Scarface.

Rex isn't mad at that and sees why you would say that.

 

[LUClEN]

the movie was released in 68. Shit was way ahead of it's time.

 

[jono]

Blade Runner is shit. It's the only movie i fell asleep on in film class.

 

[atribecalledgabi]

INB4 certified classics like psycho, taxi driver, gone with the wind, godfather trilogy, etc...

anyway, idk what the consensus was on that bullshit tree of life movie, but if it was nominated for oscars then i assume a lot of people liked it & thought it was great. i thought that movie fucking sucked & was the worst movie i've ever seen in my life.

 

[Sour-Cream]

I fell asleep on scarface 3x, that's a boring ass movie. 2nd time I tried to watch it cause I thought it was just me but that shit is wack as fuck bruh.

I'd have to add prometheus.

 

[Young Gunner]

I wasn't impressed with ET and Casablanca was aight. They were only regarded as classics because of when they were released

I don't fuck with the Back To The Future series because trying to understand time travel and make sense of everything isn't worth it

 

[Will Munny]

scarface wasnt good but it was really cool

 

[CitySojourner]

Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino.

 

[LUClEN]

Scarface starts off great and around halfway it gets boring imo. Starts feeling too long and shit. Same with American Gangster

 

[focus]

Skyfall. Way overrrated. Its not even fucking with Casino Royale.

The original Lord of the Rings trilogy. Nothing happens in those movies. 9 hours of niggas walking back and forth.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Mayn Citizen Kane is a hype.

 

[LUClEN]

The original Lord of the Rings trilogy. Nothing happens in those movies. 9 hours of niggas walking back and forth.

 

[rip.dilla]

Carlito's Way>>>Scarface.

I think I'll have to disagree .. .

I watched Carlito's Way and it hasn't moved me like 'Face did even today. Scarface feels rawer than CW ... . plus all the pop culture references

My very own answer to the OP?

 

[Ghost Leopard]

Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino.

Grand Torino all the insults and racial slurs.

=youtube_gdata_player

Jeezus Crust shit was hilarious.

 

[zombie]

Space: 2001 is a REAL science fiction movie.

Movies like T2, STARWARS and ALIENS are action, fantasy and horror movies.

You ever hear about certain movies that are deemed by the critics and general population as classics, but you've never actually gotten around to seeing them; however when upon seeing the flick, you're like, "This shit is ass, straight, garbage, and I wasted time out of my life that I will never get back." Well, your boy had this experience the other day with this pile of hot streaming pile of bullshit garbage:

I thought this shit was going to be about HAL malfunctioning or be coming sentient, taking over the space station and the astronauts having to figure out a way of beating HAL or not beating HAL and dying. Nigga, was I ever wrong. First the screen is black as for like two minutes. I knew nothing was wrong with the DVD because I could see the time elapsing with that annoying as hum. Finally, the movie comes on epic as fuck with that shot of moon, the earth, and the sun while of course that all familiar hella tight theme music.

The shit goes to the days of prehistoric man and shows some pre-ass "Fred Flintstone," niggas doing some pre "Fred Flintstone," shit. They get into some funk with another group of man-ape niggas behind a watering hole. One of the pre-ass "Fred Flintstone," niggas discovers that with a bone he can smash shit and puts the rest of his potnas up on game, now pre-ass "Fred Flintstone" are eating meat and when they get into with the other of primal muthafuckas again, (I'm assuming it's the alpha male of the group,) kills one of the other group with the bone. Then there's this mysterious shit that made zero sense to me:

And ^^^^ appears throughout the film. I'm all for realism for in films, but the nigga Kubrick took this shit in a literally sense. Taking FIVE FUCKING MINUTES TO SHOW THE SPACE SHIP DOCK WITH THE SPACE STATION! WITH NO FUCKING DIALOGUE! REALLY NIGGA? And this happens several times in the film where there's no fucking dialogue. I can understand if the something interesting was going on, (like in Silence of the Lambs where Claresse was in dude's house in the dark, that was interesting,) but there would be no dialogue and niggas were doing some hella mundane shit, especially concerning the deactivation of HAL, that was tedious anti-climatic shit.

And what what up with that shit at the end when potna was at his older self's crib on Jupiter? Where the fuck did that shit come from? Dude is progressively getting older, then he ends up as this shit:

What the fuck? Clearly, this movie was made for muthafuckas who are into the art of film making and the Kubrick stans who hyped this shit to death. Rex is first to admit that he's not into abstract, avant garde, or surreal shit; however, to proclaim 2001: A Space Odyssey the greatest sci-fi movie of all time, FOH. Hell, 2001 isn't Rex's opinion that 2001 isn't even Kubrick best film:

and

HELLA >>>> 2001

Really T/S??? I like to think that there would be no Star Wars, Alien, & etc. had it not been for 2001!!!
