He’s actually talking about a character from a book by Hermann Hesse, not Buddha...

Jamie Ruiz5 said:It’s honestly unbelievable—they actually expect us to sit there and swallow this nonsense... It's a disgrace, really. Just think about how much less impactful Rambo would have been if Sylvester Stallone hadn't been a Green Beret... Or, for that matter, how mediocre Commandos would have felt if Arnold Schwarzenegger hadn't actually served as a commando himself. Jab... they've essentially banned all truth, just twisting facts for the sake of the screen.

Chuck Norris fought, Bruce Lee fought, Steven Seagal fought, but this guy? Not even close.

At that rate, you aren't learning anything—nor are you actually finding any joy in what you do, like settling into a good book...

I don't really watch movies in the background—what’s the point of that? Am I supposed to be watching a film while simultaneously reading a book?
I find myself flipping through channels from time to time, but it's different. For instance, the other day I had *Lethal Weapon* playing in the background while I was making dinner—though, honestly, that was only because I’ve seen it a dozen times already. I just wanted to see Joe Pesci; he always manages to crack me up... Still, when you're actually cooking, you really ought to give the food your full attention if you want it to turn out right.

I just finished watching Training Day again, and now I’m honestly kicking myself for not including Denzel Washington on my list...

And when does he actually leave town? I honestly don't even dare step foot outside my apartment...

Donnie Darko is fundamentally different from the Butterfly Effect—you really could have brought up something like Run Lola Run instead...

Where on earth is Michelle Pfeiffer, and what is Natalie Portman even doing here?

The papers are claiming he never even stepped foot in a tournament ring. What a complete joke... such a soft, delicate little dancer...

That’s a fair point, but that chase sequence in Ronin is genuinely top-tier. Besides, you have John Frankenheimer behind the camera—a true veteran of the craft.
Here is the first
and the second, so enjoy...

Well, you all have a point there... Anyone who hasn't seen the films yet really ought to start with the originals first...
But personally, I think watching them in chronological order would be the way to go.

Then the second 3, followed by the first 3

Start with 5, then move to 1, followed by 6, then 2... ignore 4 for now, and finally, wrap things up with 3

The movie is alright—but that car chase? Man, it just doesn't quite hit the mark, you know...

Enigma - Matrix theme
Mick Jagger - Sweet thing, God gave me everything
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Honestly, I always get them mixed up.....

And looking at Skeet Ulrich, he reminds me of the guy who played opposite Uma Thurman—I can't quite recall his name... 😕

I typed Pfeifer instead of Pfeiffer, and now I can't seem to fix it... Will that mess up the poll results at all?

Sam Neill and Bill Paxton
