What is wrong with you people?


I just could never get into mafia movies regardless of fine acting and directing and writing. I think "Brother" was the only mafia or mob movie that ever got me interested. But when it's all over I just still didn't care.

Yep, all 4 vols of the VIZ release. Much more storyline than the movie and Miyazaki's drawings are fantastic. If you really like his drawings, there were Japanese import books of his complete storyboards (movie by movie) at Kinokuniya (by Uwajimaya's). Don't know if they are still available, but they were very nice.

Sorry for the sidetrack, back to the thread...

Much, much love, but when you're restricted to 10, and aren't necessarily taking the time to really think out your list ... :-)

I don't think there's such a thing as "the best movie ever made" because even when there's consensus, it's subjective, but when people say "The Godfather" is the best movie ever made, I don't see much point in disagreeing.

Too bad about The Godfather III, especially the nepotistic casting of Sophia the Bad Actress, but it's got some great unintentionally campy moments.
