A lesson without pain is meaningless. That's because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart. A fullmetal heart.

apparently A Beautiful Mind was critically acclaimed but I hadn't heard of it before I watched it in Psychology.

I've seen all the ones in the poll except for Monsters Inc, Shrek, Ali, and Moulin Rouge.

I love Vanilla Sky and I... think... I... love Mulholland Dr. I like it as much as you can like a David Lynch movie that isn't Blue Velvet, anyway.

Training Day and Tenenbaums were great too.

Moulin Rouge is my second favorite movie of all time.

I just really like Ewan McGregor okay, that might be why he starred in my two favorite movies.

Roughly tiered:

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Vanilla Sky
Ocean's Eleven
Memento

Black Hawk Down
Monsters, Inc.
Shrek

Donnie Darko
Gosford Park
Ali
I Am Sam
Pearl Harbor


LOTR is my favorite etc. Vanilla Sky I watched last year and absolutely loved it. It saddens me that it's hated on so much but I SUPPOSE I can see why. I guess you have to be in the mood for a movie like that. Ocean's Eleven is fun and Memento is very much my type of movie

Black Hawk Down was really well made and has a great cast. Monster's Inc and Shrek are about even for me. Both very good

The bottom five I haven't seen for a long time or have a foggy memory of despite seeing recently

I haven't watched Donnie Darko in a long time. Might be time for a re-watch sometime soon, but I was definitely a fan of it back when.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: An awesome classic.
Shrek: I can pretty much quote this movie word for word.
Ali: I've seen this at least once.
Moulin Rouge: A fairly good jukebox musical.
Pearl Harbor : 's good.
Monsters, Inc.: One of my fave pixar movies.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Probably one of my least favourite HP movies. But it's mostly due to the way it was scripted and the child actors.
Spirited Away: An AMAZING Ghibli film. Very highly recommended. This movie won best animated movie at the Oscars that year.
Donnie Darko: A very trippy film. Quite memorable.

Quite a few movies I need to see from that list and here I am watching Snowpiercer

I'm most ashamed of having never seen Training Day or Ocean's Eleven. I kind of feel bad about not ever watching Moulin Rouge too. Haven't seen Vanilla Sky either. I plan on watching The Royal Tenenbaums soon. I really liked Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest Hotel, I assume I should like that. I did see The Darjeeling Limited a long time ago but don't remember much about it, how is that usually ranked among his works?

Why oh why is Pearl Harbor among those other films that seem to range from ok to great?
