    I think I saw a bit of that. But I liked Gollum's Acceptance speach. It should have gone to Andy Sirkus but that Gollum he took it and cursed at Peter Jackson! I SO LOVE Gollum now.

    Worst Movie Ever: Original Sin

    Best Comedy: Bringing Down the House

    Best Movie Ever: Scarface

    Best Romance Movie: Two Weeks Notice

    Best Animated Movie: Spirited Away (I really like how she goes from being an annoying scared little brat to a brave hero. It's so subtle you'll almost miss it.)

    Best Acceptance Speech: Jim Carey when he dressed like some hippy and had a that huge beard. I think had he and his wife had recently gotten divorced. It was at the MTV movie awards...

    I disagree.

    Most Ridiculous Movie: It (Evil clowns?!)
    Best Comedy of ALL TIME: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    Best Romance Movie: All romance movies suck and follow the same stupid plot. Oh wait, that's also EVERY OTHER MOVIE MADE SINCE 1980!
  15. Best...(In the Movies)

    #15
    I disagree! The Graduate is a good romantic film (one of the few I will admit) if only for the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack.

    Most unlikely line-up: Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.

    Best acceptance speech: Spike Milligan, when he called Prince Charles a grovelling b*stard.

    Best period film: The Elephant Man, filmed in crackly black and white to give it that 1920s feel.

    Best horror film: Silence of the Lambs, the only film I've seen which actually looks how I had imagined it should from reading the book.

    Most tense and distressed actor: Harrison Ford in just about anything.

    ephe!

    Most Horror movies are not horror. They are jumpy. thats it. 'IT' was NOT scary. I like the ones where you have to stop it in the middle of the movie for a few hours of break. Even tho it is daytime. Those are scary. I like the ones that play on the psycological parts of human life. the ones about an insomniac or a person with OCD. And the things that COULD happen in real life. Find me a good horror movie I call you a friend for life.
  17. Best...(In the Movies)

    IT wasn't scary all that scary, but it was a darn good movie. Well, the ending was disappointing, but it was still good despite that! Besides, IT is listed under the horror genre, so that's where I put it.

    Evil clowns rule!

    Best obscure movie that's only funny once: Rosencratz and Gildenstern are dead.

    Worst movie ever: Pee Wee's big adventure.

    Best movie to bludgeon someone to death with: Cool as Ice

    How exactly does Bringing down the house beat out Bruce Almighty, or for that matter, Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

    Best Fight Sequence: The Diva Dance/Leeloo Kicking All and Major Ass from The Fifth Element Honorable mention to Johnny Cage vs Goro in Mortal Kombat and Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung from the same movie.

    Best Horror Actor: Vincent Price. Oh my GOD, that man could be scary.

    Best Suspense Movie: Signs and Sixth Sense are tied for it.

    Coolest Actor: Harrison Ford. Between Indiana Jones and Han Solo, he's got it. Actually, there's a tie, because Sean Connery is a damn cool man himself.

    Biggest Letdown: The Dungeons and Dragons movie. WHAT WAS THAT?

    Most Recognizable Line: Again, a tie. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die." And "Luke, I am your father."

    Most Unexpected Scene: The swordfight in Die Another Day.

    Biggest Understatement Ever Made: "Oh my God." - Rick O'Connel, The Mummy

    The Most Overdone Series of Movies: The Land Before Time. Why oh why didn't they stop after the first one? Followed closely by Power Rangers. Only nobody cares about those.

    Most Irritating Movie: Mortal Kombat Annhilation. They tried to cram too many characters in, and the really cool ones only had a few minutes of screentime. But the annoying ones had way too much. And they killed Johnny Cage within the first five minutes. Bastards.

    Biggest Badass: Blade
  24. Best...(In the Movies)

    Signs was a stupid movie. I thought it was going to be scary, but it really wasn't. Now Nightmare on Elm Street was scary. Of course, I was only 6 years old when I first saw it.

    Best Movie Twist: The Others

    Weirdest Movie: Barbarella

    Worst Actress: Tara Reid

    Most Over-rated Actress: Halle Berry (she isn't all that good in my opinion)

    Best Actor Ever: Christopher Walken

    Best Bad Guy Actor: John Travolta

    Best Good Guy Actor: Bruce Willis

    Best Action Movie: Die Hard 2

    Best Tear Jerker: Tie between Titantic and Imitation of Life (I cried and I cried).

    Most ridiculous move: Bad Taste
    Scariest Movie: The Shining
    Funniest Movie: Happy Gilmore (there are probably about 3 ties here but that is my fav)
    Movie Twist: Have to agree, The Others
    Best Actor: Have to go with Edward Norton. That guy does some cool stuff. Harrison Ford as a close second.

    Best actor: Sean Connery

    I'm a big Godzilla fan too. *screams* Oh no! Godzilla!

    Godzilla is kinda like Highlander. There should have been only one. For Godzilla, however, there should have been only one style. Both american versions (if you youngsters CAN remember the earlier one) were pale imitations of the original. It's like updating the godfather by replacing the actors with teletubbies. But that would be funnier.

    My favorite Movie: The Princess Bride

    Best Movie Ever: Casablanca. If you ever get a chance to see this in a theater, do it. You will find it a suprising experience, as this tense drama is actually fairly funny (we are all just too selfconcious to chuckle in smaller groups).

    Best SciFi Film: Fantastic Journey

    Best Horror Movie of All Time: Seven. I know no actual monsters. However, at the end of this movie there were people weeping, speachless and screaming incoheriently. If you have to go with Monsters, Alien. If you don't like Pigeons, The Birds... because you never know if there really is a malevolence behind them.

    Best Monster Movie: American Werewolf in London. It edges out the original Dracula and the most recent remake, just barely.

    Best ScienceFantasy: Star Wars, the first and truly the best of the set.

    Best Comedy: Soemthing funny happened on the way to the Forum

    Best Romance Movie: Sabrina. The Remake is almost as good at the Katherine Hepburn and Bogart film. Followed by "An affair to Remember" (original or any of the remakes).

    Best Animated Movie: Wizards. Strange but so cool.

    Best Swashbucking Movie: Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. This is the movie that set the standards and created the cliches for action movies.

    Best Kung Fu: Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. The best MA film done without wires and special effects. With special effects, Matrix II wins.

    Best Western: Rio Lobos. Don't go Booooo. Go see it. Then tell me it is bad. You won't be able to.

    Best Date Flick: Undercover Blues, Romantic and action. Runners up, Romancing the Stone and Grose Pointe Blank.

    Best Koji Monster Movie: Godzilla and Godzilla. The original was a great dramatic film.
    The second, the US one, was a great action flick with a realistic monster that was not a force of nature.
    Two very different kinds of movies. As different as Alien and Aliens
    Best Monster Movie: Original Dracula, but the most recent remake gets high marks.

    Best Actor in an action series: Harrison Ford
    Best Actor: Jimmy Stuart, with Bogart, Hanks, and Ford coming in close.

    Best Actressin an action series: Segorney Weaver
    Best Actress: nah... I just can't bring myself to that rant.

    Best Robot: Gort from Day the Earth Stood Still.



    Agar, you obviously do not have little kids. But, ...
    Most annoying children's tv show : Barney. Hack programing.
    Teletubbies are incomprehensible to anyone over 5, but under five crowd loves it. And the Wiggles are GODS!!!!!

    Worst war movie: Pearl Harbor. It gets props for having Ben Afleck and Josh Heartnett in one film, but it is more sappy than good old war. plus It has more of the relationship triangle than anything.

    Best War movie: I really like Black Hawk down but that might be because it has Orlando Bloom and Ewan McGreggor in it. :D
  33. Best...(In the Movies)

    The American Godzilla is crap. Japanese Godzilla is great.
    I didn't think anyone else had seen Wizards!
    And what's the problem with .hack?

    Hey, I like the teletubbies! Have you ever noticed their house looks exactly like a military bunker?

    I was at my grandmas house a few years ago (She lives in Seattle) and she was watching Teletubbies and we watched it with her. I also played the accordian then. And we watched 'Farris Buler' one too many times

    "Beuler. Beuler. Beuler. Beuler. Beuler."
    "Excuse me, sir. He's sick today."
    "Mmm-hmm. Fry?"
    (no answer)
    "Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry. Fry."

    Oh, but I do have kids. Two. Oldest boy is 7 and the other is 18 months. I have to admit trying to get the babies first words to be "Redrum" was probally not the best way to start out, but they're doing allright. He still won't say redrum, stubborn tyke.

    I believe that the only good childrens television programming is the shows that raise diturbing questions that never entered out minds when we were kids. Like the Muppets. Was Kermit really that thrilled doing an hour long show with some guys arm crammed up his @$$? Or the Smurfs. Were they really commies and why, oh WHY, was there only ONE Smurfette? And GI Joe. At the end of every show, they spouted out some public saftey message. The only one I remember was these two kids getting ready to go swimming when a thunder storm rolled in and one of the GI Joes jumps out of the bushes and warns them off. What, EXACTLY, was the guy doing hiding in some bushes watching these young boys swim for? Huh!?! And the PowerPuff Girls. Why the HECK is Professor Utonium making LITTLE GIRLS in his BASEMENT?!? What's up with that?!?

    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Start 'em young. :twisted:

    Or Bugs Bunny!

    When you're young, you just don't realize how much racial and sexual innuendo is in Bugs Bunny. It's also very violent, if not the bloody "look-at-this" violence of the modern age.

    I have noticed when I watch the kids is that the little girl loves 3ninjas and I was watching it with her and it was like ultra violent so I went out to the living room with the boy and watched him play "Lord of the rings: the Two Towers" on playstation. Violent also!
