Quite a good movie with trapper Bronson being hunted by Marvin in his role of a tough-as-nails canadian mountie. Good movie. No modern actors can touch actors like Bronson and Marvin for raw appeal. Modern movies are just too woke for actors such as they. IMO it's just a matter of time before we watch virtual reality movies on personal headsets with computer generated actors and surrounds. Avatar shows how real unreality can be. Perhaps we will be able to give the computer an outline of a story we want to see and it'll invent one for us. I wouldn't be investing in cinemas now.

Fargo is a 1996 movie that I don't even remember. Only thing a thread like this proves is that everyone has a different list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argo also a great movie, but I think he was correct with Fargo, a classic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Fargo from the Coen brothers - great movie, like al Coen brothers movies (the Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, Oh Brother where are Thou, Barton Fink, etc.). By the way, the 5 mentions for Fargo were probably given for the more recent TV-series with the same name and also directed by the Coen brothers. There are 3 seasons till now and all 3 follow somewhat same broad story-line as the original 1996 Fargo movie. But the TV-series are actually BETTER! Especially series 1 with the chilling performance by Billy-Bob Thornton as the deranged killer and Martin Freeman 'breaking bad' under his influence. Must see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 To be a top movie for me it has to leave me feeling upbeat and not depressed, so not many movies now fit that criteria. However, I include most of the Studio Ghibli movies in the upbeat category, despite having an underlying sadness at their core, perhaps because they are Japanese. I do not include Graveyard of the Fireflies, given that it is so sad I won't even watch it again. However, well made movies that I consider high end would be such as The Cruel Sea, Das Boot, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Lawrence of Arabia, Ryan's Daughter, Two for the Road, My Fair Lady, Saving Ryan. Many more like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaver Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I liked the movie, "Seven" with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. Didn't seem to get a mention thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
