Middle Class Caveman

Looking to take the kid to Lapland in November this year. Anyone got any tips or hints?

Yeh I agree with that about Harry Potter - lots of feels in the last one for sure

Pulp Fiction! How could i forget that film?
 
It definitely makes it into my top 10 but not sure if it quite makes top 3.
 
Grand Budapest Hotel was a brilliant film, i love that style of film. It reminds me of Only Murderers in the Building.
 
A top 3 of each genre would be good, action, romance, animation, Xmas films. Then i can put Die Hard as number one Xmas film and have an extra spot in action films haha

I think my list always changes depending on my mood, but first that come to mind would be:
 
1: Pulp Fiction
2: Interstellar 
3: Grand Budapest Hotel
 
I could probs make a top 100 and still be sad to miss films out
 
 

Condensing it down to just 3 films is difficult and there are some great ones above. For me I have gone with -
 
Top Gun Maverick, I think this just pips the original for me as it just hits all the right feels
Ready player one - This is just a personal favourite of mine, I really loved the recent release of this.
And I am doing it, Star Wars the empire strikes back! I love the Star Wars Universe and have played most of the games etc. I think for me it was the world building that really does it for me for the series.
 
 
I am not sure how you can compare Star Wars with Gladiator if i'm being honest... Yes the characters could have been better in Star Wars and the story has probably been done before if you look back far enough but they are two entirely different films, set in entirely different locations, one being of fiction and one having history to utilise, one filmed 20 years after the other... Some of the creativity that went into those films, they probably pushed film making forwards faster than any other film (maybe with the exception of Avatar and it's use of CGI?), dykstraflex (one of the earliest forms of computer controlled camera's) was used on it, the films somewhat started off CGI as we know it with it's 3d Wireframe animation in fact even Return of the Jedi brought in THX which is one of the assurances for audio in cinema and we won't forget about the prelude to greenscreen (blue).
 
Gladiator is an immense film in it's own right but it's just a different kettle of fish in my eye's. A film is not just about the characters, it is about the audio, the visuals, the experience, it's why I love cinema (admittedly I don't get to go so often these days) but as much tech as you put in your own home it is difficult to recreate a cinema experience. Empire Strikes back made almost 25 times it's original budget back (22 million budget and brought in 549 million, compared to Gladiator which had a budget of 103 million and brought in 5 times at 503 million) so even from a success point of view the original Star Wars film was far more successful. Admittedly recent films and tv series have been somewhat hit and miss.
 
Some honorable mentions from me as well -

This was harder than I thought I was so close to putting these in
Trainspotting

This is england

Surely favourite doesn't necessarily mean best? I think just down to the amount of times I've watched them they should go down as some of my favourites.

I love GTA single player, I don't mind how big the map is, not something I've ever thought about. But yeah agree online is for FG race nights 🤗

Ever since San Andreas or Liberty City, I just feel like these games have got 'too big'...does that make sense? Obviously some of them in the past have just had poor story lines etc but for me GTA5 was just fucking massive and I really struggled to follow the story line of the three characters. Like is it a sandbox or not etc. They always make a good game to be fair but for me I just can't get behind the hype anymore because it just feels like the game has to be huge with lots of complicated mechanics now to warrant the dev time. 
 
I'm an old man, I like my old fashioned top down original GTA where the most pressing thing I had to do in a game was run over the Hari Krishna's at the start of each level 😀

100% agree!

Would you really put Star Wars or Harry Potter up there? I really enjoy both franchises and their respective other content etc but in terms of actual 'films' I think both franchises are mediocre at best - I think the stories are interesting enough but the big win is the character buy in. And I don't mean execution, I mean we can all relate/empathise with Luke or Harry. However, the execution of those characters is rather clunky and hap hazard. 
 
If you think about Gladiator on your list, it is excellent on so many levels. Russel Crowe is stoic and firm, Joaqiun Phoenix is horrid and cruel. The story is compelling yet relatable. The sets are true to the time period and not over done. The costumes look realistic, the fighting is well choreographed and have great flow.....That is a high quality film with very few things to really criticise. Star Wars on the other hand starts with the shittiest hallway scene known to man (as proven by the do over in Rogue One) 😀
 
In fact, compare the opening scene in Gladiator to that of A New Hope or Scorcers Stone......wow.

100% agree!

Hateful 8 is good but I think it’s a bit cheesy in some places. I’ve never seen black hawk down

Life of Brian is so quotable!

For me it’s:
 
1. Aliens
2. The 13th Warrior
3. Django Unchained
 
 
tell me yours!
