Let's talk about the best movie ever

[Toto'sDad]

It's a little-known fact (as far as you know) that there were only about seventy-five actual Vikings. That's the reason they couldn't make 300 over again, and call it 300 Vikings, not even a hundred and fifty exist, seventy-five, that's it. The reason there SEEMS to be so many Vikings is that they were constantly running around complaining and groaning about this and that, making it seem there were far more of them than there actually were.

The Northman? Meh. 1 star. No guitars.

But it has bjork.

But it has bjork.

It also has fjords. No cjevys, though

 

[HoodieMcFoodie]

You can thank Slartibartfast for the fjords.

Doctor Zhivago and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly tie for first in my book. Both are just epic. Runners up include Pulp Fiction, Rebecca, the Big Lebowski, The Princess Bride and Casablanca. YMMV.

OK, let's talk about John Carpenter's "The Thing"!

he shoulda stuck to those earlier characters. the action hero thing...he's lame at it. I get that he's made a career out of that bad schtick, but those earlier comedic performances were so much more enjoyable, from this nephew of someone actually important

 

[redhouse_ca]

Two comedies that may not be the greatest but way up there on my list: Spinal Tap (or is it Spinal Pap?) and Kung Fu Hustle.

Oh. They didn't like great music, from 1939? sucks to be them , I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

War, war, ALS, war...

Yeah, it did suck to be them.

 

[blowtorch]

I don't even recall what you're going on about

 

[Old Deaf Roadie]

I thought this thread was going to be about Animal House or Blues Bros.
