Great work Clowny!! Well done.
Anyway
- It's sad to see Brazil slipping so much.
- Rocky entering the list
- The Godfather still in the Top 10, kick that out!!!!
- Amelie, City of God and ED 2 slipping so much.
- Goodfellas higher than The Godfather, finally the world is coming to it's senses.
- Alien The Thing moved nowhere in the list, great.
- Blade Runner in the Top 10
- THE GODFATHER STILL IN THIS LIST!!!!!
- A Clockwork Orange exiting the list.
- Raging Bull and Apocalypse Now- Why so low in the list and why the slip???? *rhethorical question*
- Pan's Labyrinth coming in the list, and so high.
- A silent in the list, Sunrise!!!!!!
- The Wild Bunch
- Take The Godfather off the list, it doesn't deserve more love.
- Where, for the love of God, is Dead Man's Shoes?
why do you dislike the godfather so much?
I'd guess that he watched it and didn't like it.
Yeah but surely when you watch a film which you dont like, you know what elements of the film you didnt like.
It's a very stupid reason, I never got the Greatest Film Ever praise. I saw it, thought it was good, and everything worked well, but simply it left me unsatisfied, it can be a powerful film(but for the Sonny death scene, it seemed to rip off Bonnie and Clyde, and not as powerful, but simply, I didn't involve me. IT IS A GOOD FILM, but it seemed proplounged, not that good, not THAT groundbreakingly good, and never really felt engaged. For the exception of Marlon Brando performance, I don't remember much of the film. It felt too long. There are some great scenes(the Baptism scene), but from most of it left me cold. I liked it, but felt very disappointed. It failed to capture my interest, and watching it so high annoys me. It's a character film in which I couldn't care for the characters.
Cheers for the reply Deviation. I do agree that when i watched the film, although i though it was good i just couldnt connect with the characters and felt that it was probably praised a little too highly. That said i still thinking the performance by Brando is astonishing and although it is a very slow pace it does have some incredible moments. I did actually find that i also couldnt instantly remember that much of the film except for a few key points and as such i do mean to rewatch it. Did this film then put you off watching the second film? The second i felt was amuch more satisfying experience as the film was not as slow paced and the performances as a whole were better IMO.
Part 2 in my opinion was on the same quality of The Godfather, so wasn't that impressed either. But, it did make me feel some thing for the characters. Some scenes are certainly more haunting( Don telling a still baby Micheal not to follow on his footsteps, but we all know it will happen, strikingly beautiful and poignant, A young Don, looking at the statue of liberty, the ending), but it still had some of the features that annoyed me from Godfather, and less drama.
