The OFFICIAL Pass Judgement on Everyone Else's Choice Of Best Films of the 90's Thread

I hate SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. It had already been done, better, in MANHUNTER; and, the heroine is an idiot.

Oh them's fighting words, you double chinned whore! Manhunter is a great film too. And Clarice is meant to be a little naive. And coming from someone who listed the deeply flawed Sixth Sense as his favourite film of the 90's, you got a lot of cheek. Bring it!

how can you not like the films I like??? It diminishes me! I ned validation and your inability to give it to me is racist. Or Sexist. Or something.

All I know is that when you poop on my favorite movie it's like you poop on me!

LOL. There are no flaws in THE SIXTH SENSE. THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was no better than any number of stupid films where the girl goes off into the dark with a candle. Only thing was, this idiot was too stupid to bring a candle!

Don't talk about being pooped on. Baddadnpa will get in here and this thread will go to hell in a handbasket quicker than you can say "Trainspotting is crap".

You don't seem to know that Sixth Sense is deeply flawed, entirely hamstrung and undone by its twist ending.

Forrest Gump and The Sixth Sense (except for Toni Collette's wonderful performance) are two of the worst films EVER.

this from someone who's favorite film is ludicrous, and derivative of a film that had already been done. Limey biotch!

Well, it's from a novel with some of the same characters by the same author, so a similarity to Manhunter was inescapable really. As for Sixth Sense, it's my own fault for doing a Film Studies degree. But the flaw is fundamental and obvious and I will happily explain it to you if you like.

I will agree that Toni Collette's performance in Sixth Sense is glorious, particularly the final scene in the car when she says "the question was 'do I make you proud?'". Tremendous.

And Beav, you're right. This thread is for bitchslapping.

When isn't Toni Collette glorious?

She can transcend anything.

I love the Silence of the Lambs...

But Sixth Sense was just stupid. And that kid got on my nerves.

Am I to enjoy a film on the basis of your film class? All I want to be is entertained. I was that, with THE SIXTH SENSE. I wasn't with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. All of you, consider yourselves slapped! Bitches!!

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
