A lot of the movies on his list are overrated/only liked by Oscar snobs. Like I said, very generic, could have been ripped directly from any number of imdb lists.


I mean of course. There are alotnof great movies on thag list. Of course it would resemble a generic list.

I was just making a blanket statement about forrest gump because i thought it was a dumb movie. Primarily bc it was in his top 10.

Well to be fair he did say his favorite and not best.

With that being said I wouldn't put any of his top 10 in my own top 10 or even top 20 lol.

My top 10 would be something like :

The Departed
Aliens
There Will Be Blood
No Country for Old Men
Mad Max Fury Road
The Empire Strikes Back
LotR The Return of the King
The Usual Suspects
Reservoir Dogs
Fargo


Those are off the top of my head I'm probably forgetting about some.

I actually agree.

There are some good titles on here, and plenty of others that I like, but calling most of these "Favorites" "Best" or anything like that is a pretty big reach.

It's all opinion based ofc, but a lot of these do suffer from horribad overacting that drops them down to enjoyable but mid-tier movies

Return of the King (extended edition) is such a good movie. Definitely in my top 10.

I remember reading how Peter Jackson filmed parts of the extended edition after he already won Best Picture. Pretty funny to think he kept improving a film already recognized as the best film that year.
