The first time I saw it I thought it was stupid, but it stuck with me. the second time I saw it, I understood. |

I still think it's stupid, have yet to finish it. I find it boring and moronic and never understood the cult following. But I'm not a brain dead doper, so that might be the explanation. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Quite a few critics have changed their tune on this movie. Some movies are like a fine wine, just need to age a bit and be reseen to be appreciated. I was like that with Goodfellas. Did not like it on 1st viewing because the gangsters were not noble like the Godfather. Grown to really appreciate Goodfellas and now love it.

Well jeez, Bob, I’m not either. But it’s okay to not like the same movie! Some we agree, some we don’t, and the sun comes up. |

I see a pattern with 4 of those, but not the fifth. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Saw Apoc Now in the theater when it came out. You had to like it or you were not American. Haven't been able to watch it all since. Never saw the others all the way through, boring and pretentious. The Big Lebowski Goodfellas A Passage to India Gandhi Out of Africa Goodfellas is a guy movie, I loved it. Out of Africa is a chick flick, the others put me to sleep. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I don't think I was able to sit thru Out of Africa. Isak Dennison was a strange writer always dealing with fate and I have my doubts as to her meriting the reputation she had for courage during the German occupation. Saving Private Ryan... all those clean uniforms and clean rifles. Couldn't finish it at all. And it was a no big deal situation. What about all those brothers who died on the same battle ship and then their mother was forced to go on war bond drives. |
