Re: Okay here goes... Best movie ever
I have to agree with SCO, The Road Warrior is a good entertaining movie.<br /><br />I feel there are movies that are great movies that are definitely well made classics.<br /><br />There are bad movies that are bad in every sense of the word even if they had a lot of money poured into them.<br /><br />Then there are the movies that are just plain fun. They will never be considered great, they would never be called works of art, but they are fun to watch. These vary between people. I watch a lot of movies over and over again, just because they are fun. Repo Man and Revenge of the Nerds, will never be classics, and a lot of people may not even like them, but they are fun movies to watch.<br /><br />I put the Road Warrior, The Road Warrior Beyond Thunderdome, and Galaxy Quest in with that group also. <br /><br />The original Highlander movie is in this group for me. Yeah, if I was a critic, I could rip the movie to shreds. I could say that the camera work is too "MTV" in some instances and trying to be too artsy in the others, but it works. The story is not deep, the acting is not great, but the movie is fun.<br /><br />To me, movies are like photos. They elicit emotional responses and take us to a place we want to be and make us feel relaxed, excited, etc. They evoke thoughts and feelings. OK, maybe I'm being too "unmanly", but next time you go to a movie like Saving Private Ryan, really think about how you feel when you get out of the movie.<br />It was an experience that was shared by everyone that went to that movie. My wife never wants to se it again and cried all the way home. I am glad I experienced the movie on the big screen and own it on DVD to be watched once a year. I am glad movie are again being made for the theater environment, but come out on DVD later.
