Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Best Movie Ever Now In Theaters

anything LOTF is too boring to claim best movie ever. Pulp Fiction was pretty good...but its stupid style of presentation and rather shortness of the individual stories because of it is its downfall
 
I just saw and was amazed at how bad it was.

CONTAINS SPOILERS

HIGHLIGHT TO SEE

First of all the plot was everywhere. There was the Davy Jones heart and love story plot. There was the goddess plot. There was the William and Elizabeth plot. There was the Free William's father plot. There was the Pirates vs. the Englishmen plot and a few others.

I did enjoy the first hour or so from the Singapore start until the end of rescueing Jack but then it went down hill. I just did not enjoy the movie. The music often obsured the talking and I got confused thourout a lot of the film. I was really really dissapointed. However despite my better judgement I still am looking forward to the next one.

yeah, i do like that movie. face/off.

pirates is a movie that you enjoy because you like fun movies. you like hanging out with your friends and watching it. you're captivated with all the simultaneous plot lines. you love seeing kiera knightley. i know i do. you're always surprised by wacky plot twists that you never see coming. you think you're in one boat then you find out you're in another. and the movie is funny and exciting all that the same time.

it's not critically acclaimed. it's no godfather or taxi driver. it's no 300. it's no Incredibles. but still a great movie in its own right.

oh and i hear this is supposed to be the last one. but the ending sorta opened it up for another one, didnt it? or am i the only one who thinks there could be another sequel.
 
It was slightly better than the second one, I'll say that; but I doubt I'll be watching it again any time soon.

If you're in the mood for a "fun" movie, may I suggest Dog Soldiers. Not quite as much spectacle as Curse of The Black Pearl, but it's definitely one of the funniest films I've ever seen (whist also being a thriller/horror/action movie).

As for the best movie ever... City of God, American Beauty, Lost in Translation, Battle Royale, Chopper, Annie Hall, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, The Godfather, Trainspotting and dare I say Chasing Amy and Easy Rider all have their place.
 
I loved it. Just saying.

Better than 2nd.

And best movie ever is The Godfather and The Godfather: Part Deuce (that's what it's called, right? Can't remember). Basically 3/4 of the lists by decent critics you'll ever see have those two movies in their 1) and 2) slots.

those are the movies in your list that i watched and enjoyed. i havent watched trainspotting yet. though i hear it's really good.
 
Back to the future, Citizen Kane, Duel, Gandi, The Green Mile, The Manchurian Candidate (the original non or this re-make tripe!), North by North West, The Italian Job (again the original), Rear Window, On The Beach, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shawhank Redemption, To Kill a Mockingbird, Unbreakable, Pulp Fiction, Silence of the Lambs, Godfather II, Schindlers list, Raiders of the lost ark, The Shining, 2001: Space Odessy, The Elephant Man, Arsenic and Old Lace, Dial M for Murder, Death of a Salesman.

In particular though Back to the future, it's one of the most watchable films I can think of.
 
I happened to love Pirates of the Carribbean 3. At the beggining it was a tad confusing, but it is still the best dang movie ever in my opinion.

Thanks; I feel ashamed I forgot about that one. It deserves far more attention than it seems to get.

Yeah, it's a true classic. Book and Film.

You can add Grapes of Wroth to my list now that I think of it.

The point is theres no best film, lol.
 
Lol @ The Elephant Man.
I honestly didn't like the book or the movie very much, even though the acting was well done. I just couldn't get into it.

To Kill a Mockingbird, however, was amazing, easily the best book we've read in school and one of the best book to movie translations I've seen.

I want to see City of God, as it sounds like a great plot and storyline for a movie.

And I can't wait to see Pirates 3. ;x
 
I saw it last weekend. Easily the best of the trilogy. I could see this become the Star Wars of my generation. By Star Wars, I mean it would have the same impact on my generation as Star Wars did on our fathers, uncles, etc.

Jack the Monkey stole the show for me. :D
