  • Re: Most Overrated Best Picture Winners

    How sad that people are trashing masterpieces like Gone with the Wind and Titanic, which I watched ever so many times so that I could cry into my handkerchief. There is just no comparing these to Godfather, etc.

      If you can use the phrase "ever so many times" without irony, you're Titanic's target audience.

        This is what I hate about threads like this; people with a chip on their shoulder, insulting others based on something as individual as movie opinions and tastes.

            If you're truly without sin, go ahead and cast stones.

            Or, you know -- if you just have a very short memory.

Which is fine on the one hand; I'm not against hearing a countering point of view (I went to film school, so I'm sure I've heard 'em all anyway....) but too often these threads turn into "I'm right, you're wrong" debates which I'd just rather avoid.

              But if you're clamoring to know the name of a film I consider a "masterpiece," just so you can tell where I'm coming from, I'd offer THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.
              Shawshank is a masterpiece but not The Godfather? Let me ask you a question...what color is the sky on your planet?

                F'in classic, man.
                Just one more reason to get hammered tonight.

                  It's been a fun ride, but 20 pages pretty much maxes out this thread.
