103 Movies You Have To See or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Poll

[Mrs. Dick Courier]

Children of Men is a great movie, but one I don't think about often.  I second it.

[LucasM]

...I think if you took out the boobs and the f-words, it could have been rated PG.

Yeah... but where would the fun be in that?

Sometimes less is more. I'll give you an example. Remember that movie Time after time? These cops are trying to rescue this woman, they break into her apartment and the cops see something that makes one of them instantly vomit. The camera pans over and we see what appears to be a severed hand on the floor... but no other signs of any other body parts. It's pretty frickin' eerie, it's really gritty but it's not strictly gory or bloody. I find that horror is much more effective when you are forced to use your imagination.

True with horror... but this comment was just about boobs and the f-word.    Eliminating the latter would put Sam Jackson out of a job.  [I mean really: "I am sick and tired of these gosh-darned snakes on this gosh-darned plane!" really doesn't do it. ]

Duck Soup

Quite possibly the funniest film of all time.

That one's a winner, although if I may speak blasphemy for a moment, A Night in Casablanca is my favorite Marx Brothers film.
