I'm not sure which one I prefer. 2010 is more entertaining and has more wow factor, but I'm just glad both movies got made.
Dirty Harry
The good, the bad and the Ugly
Firefox
Who's Beth?
He was the funniest thing in this movie. I read his character was based on John Milius.
Jim Morrison.
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and Little Shop of Horrors.
Star Wars (1977)
Alien (1979)
Not quite the best, but close. I think there are better movies:
The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Amadeus
Robocop
Die Hard
His role in Batman Begins was perfect for him.
Zero times. I was interested in seeing it, but was afraid it would turn out to be as miserable experience as Pulp Fiction was. Latest movies from Tarantino haven't been very good either (with exception of The Hateful Eight). I'll catch it on blu-ray when the price drops.
People who praise OUATIH seem to like also Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction, which I think are his weaker films, so its not very encouraging...
Worth mentioning:
Back to the Future
Contact
Romancing the Stone
Forrest Gump
Spectre is definately worse. Quantum had some great moments, but editing was a mess. Quantum seemed an interesting criminal organization and bond could have fought them for several movies. But no, they got the rights to spectre unfortunately and ruined the whole story line. Also it was the last bond movie before Sam Mendes came in and brought his supporting shitty cast (Moneypenny, Q, the new M). Now they don't seem to be able to get rid of them, because they're stuck with continuity (which didn't seem to be a factor with Bond franchice before).
1. Casino Royale
and the rest in no particular order
Moonraker
From Russia with Love
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (drama parts still work today, but rear projection stuff and action is pretty dated)
Eh, can't decide the last one... maybe Goldeneye or The Spy Who Loved Me or Thunderball or Quantum of Solace...
I thought for a moment they're making Scarface tv-series with a black dude in the lead...
I don't hate it. It was unintentionally funny which is quite rare in Hollywood films. I'd say it was a real camp movie, not some intentionally designed campiness like Toxic Avengers, etc. Its second to only Batman Returns in the Burton-Schumacher batman films. Those who hate it are probably same people who think Burton's first Batman is the best of the series.
I rank the films:
1. Batman Returns
2. Batman & Robin
3. Batman
4. Batman Forever
3 ja 4 are quite bad and I have no desire to see them again. Danny Elfman's score for the first film deserves honorable mention, though.
I'm no telepath, so wouldn't be able to tell.
In reality, haven't watched any Star Wars movies in theater after The Force Awakens.
The King of Comedy
After Hours
The Aviator
I can't stand his overrated gangster movies.
1. The Dead Zone
2. The Fly
3. Dead Ringers
4. Videodrome
5. Scanners
Basically all his 80's movies...
Yea, sure. WW2 never happened.
Casino Royale was a star maker. Quantum of solace was ok, except for bad editing. Skyfall and especially Spectre were downhill with bad choices by the director.
