Mad Max: Fury Road

[Khev]

I watched it for the first time last night. I enjoyed it, but no chance this is the 12th greatest movie of all time, not even close.

Who the heck said it was?

 

[jye4ever]

I see you at least edited it from 75 to 50.

I'm being generous tonight.

Better than just copy and pasting AFI's even more generic Top 40 just for the sake of trying to impress people. More than half of his list are certified classics, regardless of what decade they were released or how much money they made.

EDIT: Just noticed Trank FF.

According to Rotten Tomatoes ratings. It is 12th for all time. Wizard of Oz is number 1

Yeah, movies from Fellini, Wilder, Wyler, Ford, Jewison, Fleming, Lean, Huston and Truffaut show up much farther down the list.

Toxic Avenger 1 > Dr. Zhivago

 

[Khev]

AFI's list is ridiculously biased against anything that came out after the the 70's. Of their top *100* only 12 films of the last 35 years made the cut:

Schindler's List
Raging Bull
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Amadeus
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Tootsie
The Silence of the Lambs
Forrest Gump
Dances with Wolves
Platoon
Fargo
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction

No Unforgiven, Braveheart, Shawshank (yes I know we're all sick of it but it deserves to be up there,) or Fellowship of the Ring? Come on.

 

[jye4ever]

Well, I get it, not everyone can be as cool and hip as us.

Old farts are allowed to choose Great Expectations over Predator.

But look what they're missing out on:

 

[Prime Clone]

Only really liked 1,2,3 is all.

2>4>3

Haven't decided where 1 fits in yet, it's such a different movie to the others. But it's ahead of 3.

 

[jye4ever]

I enjoyed Transformers 1.

Transformers 3 skydiving scene I just use as a 3D tech demo.

Getting back to FR, I will be buying on bluray, I just feel that it hasn't earned being in my top 40-50.

Just because it used practical stunts doesn't automatically make it a classic.

It has nothing to do with the guitar dude, I still feel that while IJ was cool looking he was under utilized, he could've been fleshed out more to be a better villain.

As is he's more MCU than RW quality.

Can't wait to check out the black and white version of the movie.

I will try this at the next home theater installation I do for some Wall Street exec.

Hopefully they like it.

Hmmmmm

But all that pretty fake orange.

Well that's a good idea, but take some care. If their heads explode from the awesomeness, you'll lose a potential customer, and possibly be convicted of murder.

 

[jye4ever]

Nah, no one cares when one of them dies.

If you thump a little harder you can do a precordial fist defibrillation equivalent to 5 joules.
