Is American Beauty still great or is it not OK to like that now because Kevin Spacey?

Not great but a good movie with alot of funny moments. I RULE

Right wing fools are ruining terms quicker than ever.

"woke" IS NOT "Disney ruined Star Wars through a combination of lazy recycling and turning them into Marvel 'hahaha?' movies"

Go on, say Liberal party or News Corp...I know you want to.

I get you aren't very bright, but there's nothing 'woke' about rehashing Episode IV (with elements of V/VI) and calling it Episode VII. People enjoyed that, derivative as it was. People hated the next one for a reason. Token minority characters, side arcs that added nothing, introducing crap about child labour and saving fuel. It's a sci fi franchise not a Ted talk.

 

[Scotland]

Good but overrated film when you rewatch it.

I can't enjoy it as much because I had to watch it for year 12 English and pick it apart. Still a great movie IMO. Love the family dynamic of the highly strung image conscious wife, husband who has given up caring and teenage daughter stuck in the middle.

You're slow.

That token black guy Lando in the Return of the Jedi 83 was a joke!

 

[Jobe Watson]

American Beauty is as close to being a perfect movie as anything I can think of.

 

[raskolnikov]

The only reason I hate Forrest Gump is they gave it best picture over Pulp Fiction. Just get f’ed 'the academy'.

That's why I love it. Pulp Fiction is so overrated.

 

[FRUMPY]

Most movies that you hear are awesome rarely live up to the high expectations other people give you. Even more so when you decide to watch them 10 years later, as the movie has likely aged or the type of films you like has changed in that time.

That and The Green Mile.

 

[Billy ray]

Trading Places is as close to being a perfect movie as anything I can think of.

[Bomberboyokay]

You can like movies and songs by 'exposed' people but ditch the fake confusion about not understanding why they're no longer on TV and Gold FM.

It’s fine to like it. I still think it’s a great movie but if you don’t kind of tug at your collar the first time Spacey comes on screen I’d be shocked.

I went through a phase a few months back of watching 90s Oscar films and a bunch of them were Weinstein productions.

Yeah im creeped out af whenever i see his name come up, but I won't not watch the film.

 

[Kram]

Have you seen The Pianist yet Art Vandelay_ ?

 

[Plugger35]

Hard to avoid Weinstein's films, he's produced some of the most popular films of the last couple of decades including several Scorsese and Tarantino films.

 

[Neese]

That and The Green Mile.

and Blues Brothers

 

[drd23]

No, mochas have coffee and hot chocolates don’t have coffee or vanilla.

Yeah but the order you mentioned was also decaf, so its barely a coffee anyway

A while back I sought to fill in a few historic classic movie gaps from my viewing.

The Caine Mutiny gave me so many "Ohhhhh, that's where that come from" moments.

Cuckoo was so brilliant and funny and desperately sad.

And I found Easy Rider to be disappointingly boring.
