Name a Movie Rate a Movie

One person states a movie, and the next person rates it (and can even give a mini-review if they want). And then that person states another movie.

OK, I go first. Forrest Gump.

7.5/10

What i really like about Forrest gump is that the despite the fact he accomplished so many things he never turned into an assh*le. Tom hanks did but Forrest didn't.

Super troopers.

How is Tom Hanks an asshole? I always got the impression he was nice.

This movie gets a couple points for what went into making it since it was such a grassroots indie movie. But I don't think I laughed even once while watching it.

North By Northwest

**Frownland** · 04-28-2016, 04:08 PM

North by Northwest is pretty great, but there's some more slow burning bits of the film that don't quite deliver. Still, an 8/10.

Not half as good as Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and I Saw the Devil, but still pretty damn good. 7/10.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

**Frownland** · 04-28-2016, 05:00 PM

We all know that Thirst is his best one anyway.

It was because of Fear & Loathing that I started carrying around a briefcase where I'd stash my drugs and CDs in high school, and it sparked my journalistic pursuits. Depp does a pretty great Thompson, although I think that Bill Murray did it better in Where the Buffalo Roam. 10/10 easily.

Mr. Vengeance is one of my favourite films ever. Sorry.

Also, Depp > Murray. Fear and Loathing is Depp's best performance imo.

Daniel Day Lewis is hard to go wrong with. An easy 8/10.

La Haine

**Frownland** · 04-28-2016, 05:15 PM

(Haven't seen La Haine). I think Depp's performance is better in terms of acting and being entertaining, yes, but as far as being true to Thompson, Bill Murray takes the cake. Depp took a lot of liberties with his personality and mannerisms imo, but I agree that it's his best performance.

Haven't seen La haine either.

Supposedly he's one the nicest guy in Hollywood but i remember hearing he is hard work with because he's very strict.

Well, somebody watch La Haine! Or, in the event that the thread goes 24 hours without an answer, another user can pick a movie. How's that?
