Iconic central performance or not, it's a pretty terrible film. Edited September 9, 2013 by Angelica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's like if Bridgette Jones Diary made the list. is there anywhere you can buy these movies in bulk? Or do you have to go on amazon and spend 1,500 $ollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconic central performance or not, it's a pretty terrible film.I wouldn't go so far as to call it terrible - it's a beautiful movie, but it suffers from a few issues )Rooney being the most obvious). I only mentioned it in jest anyway - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is the real heavyweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The Good the Bad and the Ugly got awful reviews when it was released. Often things like that turn out to be a load of bollocks but then at the same time, often those early reviews have a clarity in their assessment that is lost once a movie is like...canonized. The people made Good the Bad and the Ugly, not critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) What, no Transformers 2? I often hold a lot of skepticism regarding these kinds of lists since art is a very arbitrary commodity. I've taken some film classes and seen many of those movies listed, but even with a greater understanding (than what I would have without the courses) I still find most of them boring as hell. A lot has to do with how you see movies in the first place. I don't necessarily buy into the notion that films or movies are a higher art form like literature, music or painted art. A lot would disagree with me on that, but I can't accept this notion of film as an elevated art form that many (who's lives often depend on movies being seen as a serious art form) attempt to make it. It's one of the many reasons why I won't watch the Oscars - I can't stand for the self-indulgent circle-jerk that everyone gives themselves over something that shouldn't be given so much praise in our society. For me, films are often about having a good time; I leave learning for books. Of course, to each their own.My top ten:1. The Big Lebowski2. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind3. Dr. Strangelove4. Casablanca5. Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back6. Dumb and Dumber7. Annie Hall8. The Godfather (Parts 1&2 - yes, I'm counting them as one film)9. Batman (1989 - first movie with Michael Keaton as Batman)10. True Lies Edited September 12, 2013 by downzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect performances really. Leone knew how to utilise the range of even the most limited of actors to get the most of em. Lee Van Cleef for example isn't the greatest actor in the purest sense ever born but he does juuuuuuuuuuust the right things, dialogue-wise and physically, to suit the role he was playing and nail it perfectly.

He was atrocious in the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
