I can't narrow it down to just five, so I'll list a few more...
1. Braveheart 2. Gladiator 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. Aliens 1, 2, and 3 5. Hannibal 6. The Matrix 7. LOTR (the first two, still waiting on the third) 8. Fight Club 9. Se7en 10. Event Horizon
There are plenty others, but these are the absolute essentials...😁
steelcanyon92 said:Is it just me, or is the sound in theaters way too loud lately? The last few times I went, it took me at least fifteen minutes just to adjust to the volume...
I suppose... though I don't mind it. A bit more volume is fine by me. I go to the cinema specifically for the visuals and the audio... nothing is worse than thin, weak sound...😉
Adam Wright56 said:Sure, you have to give them credit for a solid lineup. 😁
But what does a good selection matter if you're going to be completely catatonic in your seat by the credits... thanks to that earlier screening that day...😁 😁 😁
Well... first off... I enjoy all kinds of movies... and I view cinema primarily as entertainment... and since I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to sound quality and comfort... I don't bother with those tiny local theaters at all...
AMC Theatres is my favorite... mainly because of the comfort, the sound, and the picture... plus they have three different auditoriums... so there isn't always a massive crowd... I like it...
My second choice would be downtown Washington, D.C.... though I have a soft spot for that theater, I haven't been there in quite a while... before the big renovation near the National Cathedral, I used to spend a lot of time there...
The absolute worst place is Kustošija... and I mean that sincerely, it's the worst theater I've ever stepped foot in... I honestly don't know who even called that junk a cinema...
As for the others I don't care for, there's the one on Broadway... which I dislike quite a bit... the seats were awkward... the sound was off... things like that...
Over at the mall, it's just as bad... I really don't like that theater... I won't go back there unless they're playing something that isn't showing anywhere else...
And yes, the Cinema of my youth was the local Cinema... and I remember with some nostalgia going there with my old man to watch movies and cartoons...

What about the classics? Moby, Sash!, or Robert Miles?
Moby is just a sellout...😉 Sash! is a hack I wouldn't give a dime to perform...😉
And Robert Miles is just trance for the weak-minded...🙄
frozenrider112 said:Comparing this to Jackie Chan isn't quite right... though I don't see anything special about this movie other than it being set in New York City and touching on that American history people are so proud of... It’ll probably rake in massive amounts of money, Academy Awards, and everything else... because Americans love buying back what they lack—their sense of identity, culture, sophistication... and so on.
Maybe just try to relax and watch it without any preconceived notions about Americans...😉 😁
Look, I know how Americans can be... honestly, some of it is repulsive...
But I haven't seen the film yet... since I live in the middle of nowhere outside of a small Midwestern town... Once it arrives... I'll give it a watch...
Metallica said:I’d love to weigh in on this movie, but I really can't. It's rare to see someone capture something this ridiculous.
I’m not sure if you caught it... but his MTV special was pretty much the same thing as this film. Just constant nonsense... honestly, he's a complete moron.😉 😁
Alex Martinez4 said:I honestly can't wrap my head around how anyone finds this funny... our friend here claims he laughed because it was just mindless stupidity (not you, of course... I'm talking about Tom Green)... which makes me wonder if I should start reading more classic literature instead... 🙄 🙄 🙄 ...I just don't get this modern sense of humor... Jackass, The Tom Green Show, and the rest of those idiots... oh, and one more thing... if you actually find it hilarious when some guy tries to perform an act with an elephant, by all means, go ahead and watch it... if you don't, well, watch it anyway... it might make you appreciate the wit you usually enjoy even more...
Best regards...
Well, fair enough... you laugh at the sheer number of morons out there... you laugh at how ridiculous people can be... that's about it...
To be honest, I prefer actual wit over this... but then again...😁
First off, I’m just sitting here wondering if I’ll even live to see it... Event Horizon 2... I caught a rumor that filming might have kicked off, but there hasn't been any official word from the studio yet... if anyone has some actual intel, please pass it along...😉
I'm also keeping an eye out for Lord of the Rings and those New York gangs...😁
