Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty awesome - uses a lot of older style comedy. Also has a surprise after the credits.

I can see how most people didn't like Transcendence as most people don't even know what points they're playing at in the movie with Singularity and what not so i'm still gonna watch that one myself. As for Lucy, I just wanna see Scarlet >.<

Marvel movies are like the only things i dont walk out of after the credits start rolling. Its quite blasphemy when i see people get up and leave...sacrilege even!

Im REALLY interested in Dracula Untold. I love actual vampire and zombie movies :~

I watched Chef last night and in my honest opinion it's one of the best movies i've seen all year. Has an all-star cast and very funny. I highly recommend watching it.

Lucy was just stupid, stupid stupid stupid. Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman were their usual great selves, but the story itself was ridiculous and utterly pointless. I was hoping for another Fifth Element, but Luc Besson dropped the ball.

Mel Gibson is a great actor. His off-screen antics, ramblings and beliefs cause many to turn on him, but he's always been a great actor.

Johnny Depp is a great actor as well.

If we really have to have a "greatest ever" discussion I'm going to go with some older guys, though. Christopher Lee comes to mind. Others including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Kenneth Branagh, Jeremy Irons; John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Steve Martin, and Gene Wilder get props too. Sometimes people don't give comedians the proper credit in these "greatest ever" talks, but they do more for us entertainment-wise than many of the "serious" actors.

Edit: And, specifically, actors that insist on trying to "go serious" to "validate" their careers sort of piss me off. Tom Hanks and Jim Carey, for instance, have made some decent "serious" movies...but they have almost completely left behind greatness in other venues, wich is sad to me.

And Eddie Murphey has straight-up betrayed himself at this point, I don't care how he tries to justify it. Granted, he gets piles of money for doing essentially whatever movies he wants, so in that vein I won't necessarily judge him...but c'mon, man. Go back to what made you great.

True, John Leguizamo is a great actor/comedian himself as well. Always enjoyed his movies.

Best movie ever ?:

Oh. Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton. Though the later, I admit, is because the man essentially starred in my childhood between Batman, Beetlejuice, The Paper, The Dream Team, etc.

I think that Tom Hanks's "serious movies" were much better than his comedies.

Have you ever seen "Saving Mr. Banks"?

That made my gums hurt....


I have yet to see that one, but Captain Philips was great (Although it was one of those nichey "LETS PROFIT OFF A NEWS STORY!" movies) and all of his non- comedy movies arent totally bad.

There isn't a single character he's ever played that will top Detective Pep Streebek.

Not. One.

Edit: To answer your question, no.

Edit2: P.L. Travers despised her interaction with Disney, so I can't imagine the movie goes very well.

Edit3: He's done some marvellous serious movies, don't get me wrong. Forest Gump was good, Apollo 13 was great, The Green Mile is really good. I want to see Road to Perdition some day, but I never seem to get around to it.

But...The Burbs, Dragnet...no way he's ever topping those.

Never seen Dragnet Movie tbh.

Captain Phillips is a great movie too.

Saving Mr. Banks was a real tear-jerker for me, and I usually don't cry at movies.

I guess you didn't watch the movie either, cause that was basically what it was about.

Oh, no. I didn't. You're right. The trailers I saw for it seemed to paint roses and sunshine though. If it actually paints Disney in the appropriate light, it could be worth a watch.

P.L. Travers detested what Disney did to the original stories of great classical stories, designed to teach people moral lessons, among other things, such as ripping people off, and the general way he conducted business.

It was in this particular case, that Disney seemed to royally kiss *** for the rights to tell the story of Mary Poppins.

Which, by the way, was a great film, that co-starred *** Van Dyke.

Same with Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Is it appropriate that we keep coming back to Disney in this thread, the wonderous anti-semite that he was?

So true.

As for Jim Carey, he's going back to Dumb and Dumber I've seen, was pretty happy to see a sequel from one of the big movies with him back when I was still little (Ace Ventura etc).

Bunch of jewish actors were mentioned, it's just par condicio.

I despise Dumb and Dumber.

There are a lot of reasons for that though, not all of them having to do with the actors or movie itself. Social situations come into play. And the amount of friends I have that go apeshit for that movie. It's like catnip for drummers or something, I don't know. But I've seen it so many times on bus trips that I took to put headphones on, listening to Slayer and not acknowledging the world until it was over.

Ace Ventura is a masterpiece.

I miss this kind of stuff.

I'll give you the first one, the rest were dumb and after Jim Carrey started to be quite annoying. But masterpiece? Maybe classic.

Yes Man was also a pretty good Jim Carey movie.

There are some legitimate complaints to elements in the films he's starred in.

Adam Sandler has done some pretty awesome movies, and some really terrible ones.

All his movies are *** terrible.

But sometimes, *** terrible movies are necessary in life. And some of his *** terrible movies are magnanimously wonderful for it.

Billy Madison has to be my favorite, followed by Happy Gilmore.

For me, Super Troopers remains the gold standard of movies that just ridiculous, but amazing for it.

Have you not seen Funny People or 8 Crazy Nights?

Legitimately horrible, but again, wonderful for the absolute horridness of them.

Like he trolled the movie industry hard, and they fell for it.

Jack and Jill, as well as That's my Boy! were just... awful. Not a saving grace in either movie.
