Co.Down Hibee Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's a good film but the opening 20 minutes is pretty much what you remember it for more than anything, brilliantly made but relies too heavily on sentiment IMO. Trails off a little in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Goal is to have this finished by very early March as I'm sure you'd all agree, it's beginning to drag! Anyways: 15. Terminator 2: Judgement Day Terminator is a great film. Arnie plays the bad role excellently, but Robert Patrick is simply better. His turn as the T-1000 is spectacular and he goes a long way to making this the best film in the series. That being said, Arnie as the 'good guy' just feels right as well. Classic Arnie, in a great action film. I won't spoil it if you haven't seen it (If you haven't, wtf?!) but the ending has to go down as one of those iconic film scenes that you just will never forget. Great film. Points Received: 36.

Ira Gaines Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The ending is wonderful stuff. This movie is just incredible though, from the soundtrack to the movie itself, and some incredible iconic scenes. Let's not forget the dream scene with the nuke going off. Robert Patrick as well as one of my favourite movie baddies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Stunning, seminal film. Another that rocked my world when I saw it as a teen, remember being mesmerised by the effects. One the critics can be quite snooty about, but easily worth it's high placing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 One of those I would usually be snobbish about but it really is era defining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 T2 wouldn't be high on my list of films of the decade, but 25 years ago its (very expensive) CGI and special effects were a landmark- the technical breakthrough this film made was the gateway to a new era.

AberdeenBud Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Got to be up there for best sequel of all time as well imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Terminator 2 only reached 15th spot? That's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 14. True Romance. Another well deserving placement. Cracking film, great cast, (Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in that scene are simply superb). Points Received: 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Let's not forget an absolutely sensational performance from Chris Penn, which is probably one of the worst Oscar snubs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I completely forgot about Terminator films - had them down as 80s movies in my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 14. True Romance. 1. Life is Beautiful 2. True Romance 3. 4. Leon 5. 6. Good Will Hunting 7. The Truman Show 8. Toy Story 9. 10. Going to have to watch this clip again now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 True Romance is not even my favourite Tony Scott film of the 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm guessing it's not The Fan (Fantastic and underrated film that it is) as that doesn't strike me as your type of film for some reason so it has to be Crimson Tide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm hoping that's what it is as well. To be fair, Crimson Tide is brilliant. But I'm biased because it's got Denzel in it, and I'm a total fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Watched it a couple of times and enjoyed but never really entered my thoughts for this. An 8/10 film for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 13. Fargo. Genuine question, how does the series compare? Steve Buscemi is sensational in this film and never 'shuts the f**k up'. As Coen films go, this is considered as one of their best. Quirky thriller eh. Points Received: 40.

Ira Gaines Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Aye. "Total fucking silence" from Buscemi. My #8 movie, and an absolutely incredible piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
