That the husband guy is a vegetarian

Re Tom Hanks movies- you have to include first 30 minutes of Captain Phillips.

"I am the captain now"

That scene is so gripping.

 

[vast]

the whole film

I dont really remember the specifics other than her meeting that guy and getting married. So Im just not sure where the tragedy is?

Ah yes that is a tragedy.

TBH thats the only part of the movie ive seen.

I've watched the entire movie and can only remember that scene tbh.

First one isnt that hot.

First point of the second isnt that hot (although i disagree).

The remainder are hot, good gear.

Yes this is just a popularity vote not to be taken to serioulsy but I also remember Pulp winning best movie on Bigfooty about 10 years ago.

 

[Shell]

Oh god the ****ing Shawshank Redemption.

Great film, but seen it way too many times. The thought of watching it again makes me wanna spew tbh.

I would put that list in this order: Godfather II > Godfather I > Schindlers List > Pulp Fiction > Shawshank > Dark Knight

DNQ: LOTR and 12 Angry Men.

12 Angry Men should be at the top of the list, or Commando and im not even really joking that much, because if you consider movies entertainment then no movie has entertained me more than Commando!

LOTR not in the top 100 let alone 10.

At least there is no Star Wars there.

Lets not do Star Wars shit in here. One fan gets a sniff and the thread will be spammed into the stone age

I've never seen it.

The former not the latter. I freaken loved the latter as a kid.


Re. Star Wars, when it came back out at the movies when I worked at Hoyts, I honestly didn't mind it. But just lost interest and forgot to see the other two.

Any movie over 2.5 hours is too long.

 

[Shell]

Trying to think of a TV show but can't.

Suppose it's not like you are going to sit thru multiple episodes of TV you can't stand, compared to a one off movie.

Any? Godfather included?

Bring back the intermission.

(I thought it was quite cute when it came up on the DVD.)

yes with run times these days please do this

Cinemas would probably hate it cause it'd cut into their time... but yeah 15 minute bang on, that's all you'd need.

they 100% will have dropped it to get more screenings in a day

 

[Gralin]

live theatre still does it though
its great to just stretch your legs for a few minutes even if you don't need the toilet or the candy bar

 

[phantom13]

I can see the appeal but also giving idiots two opportunities to come in late, shine their phones around like clowns to find their seat numbers, block the screen and generally behave like entitled shitheels is a no from me.

Godfather is incredible but I believe it could've been equally as good with a shorter run time.

It just seems to be a current trend that longer is better/important. I personally feel if it takes that long to tell the story, they've got too much fluff in there.

I cant even... I dont think I've been to live theatre in Melbourne, except for some plays at the Playhouse when I was in Year 12.


Have only ever been to shows in New York and London.

Would've thought the opposite. More people likely to buy extra drinks/popcorn during the middle of a movie.

Im suprised this clip is 1 minute because the scene felt like it went on for 10.
