OMG, Ebert likes …
OMG, Ebert likes really crappy films. And he’s a movie critic, WTH.
Fargo Pulp fiction, good movies but not even close to being the best. I just lost all respect for this man. And hoop dreams nr.1, give me a break.

Ebert thinks Pulp Fiction is better than Goodfellas?

it’s quite funny …
it’s quite funny because I wouldn’t trust the film recommendation of two of the greatest and most innovative directors of our time, tarantino and scorsese. But maybe the reason they have such strange taste is because their minds work differently to ours, and that’s why their great directors

Scorsese’s list is …
Scorsese’s list is just weird. ‘Bottle Rocket’? ‘Bad Lieutenant’? are you kidding me? ‘Crash’???? The only two films on Marty’s list I even like were ‘Fargo’ and ‘The Thin Red Line’…the others were just ok. Actually, ‘Crash’ and ‘Bottle Rocket’ sucked.

I think the number …
I think the number 1. Movie of the 1990s should of been “The Shawshank Redemption”, I think it’s one of the best films ever made, no doubt!

You can tell Ebert …
You can tell Ebert has popping a big erection having Scorsese there.

I think that, yes, …
I think that, yes, being a Kubrick film, it had to be inescapably praised. They couldn’t taint the last movie of his life, it would be grossly unfair to the master. My two favorite 90s film would definitely have to be Heat and The Usual Suspects.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Eyes Wide Shut was …
Eyes Wide Shut was TERRIBLE!
October 14th, 2009 at 9:20 am

4. Seven
5. Terminator 2: Judgement Day

I suppose he just …
I suppose he just found these other ten films to be better. Perhaps if he made a Top 15 or 20, Dark City would make that list.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:20 am
I fully agree on …
I fully agree on The Thin Red Line. Malick is the American equivalent of Tarkovsky. His movies are slow, meditative, feel like they’re “about nothing”, but still leave you questioning the inner workings of human souls…
