I have suffered in silence for years about my inability to make it through THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, but now I feel I'm in safe company.

I only made it halfway through the Big Lebowski before going "Meh" and turning it off.

I hated big lebowski the first time I watched it. Completely disappointed after all the hype. The humor flew right over my head.

Then, one time I watched it with friends and was drinking beer, just generally in a better mood and BOOM. One of my favorite movies since then.

Maybe I'll watch it again this week while I'm wasting precious study time :unsure:

I think The Big Lebowski needs to be watched twice to really get into it. The Coens play by a different set of rules from other movie makers so the first time I see one of their movies my reaction is "what's going on? :blink:

" and then on repeat viewings I can actually appreciate the movie because the logic of what happens is more apparent. Wes Anderson movies are like that too.

I've seen it like four times and yeah I laugh but it's one of those movies greatly ruined by douchebags who quote it 8x an hour.

I was about to go on a rant about how Wes Anderson makes movies that seem to drag on forever and relies on ensemble casts too much, then I realised that was P.T Anderson :unsure:

I didn't know he made that movie :ph34r:

I've always avoided watching because I don't like Daniel Day-Lewis all that much.

Boogie Nights I liked, but I disliked Magnolia quite a lot.

The Rite - Avoid it, I like speculative stuff, but that one was awful.

I think you and I have complete opposite tastes in everything.

I don't like his whole method acting thing. Takes it too far. Also, he won some award around the time Heath Ledger died, and dedicated it to him, despite never having met the guy! :huh:

I even liked the Coens' remake of The Ladykillers, which was hilarious.

what the fuck

Also just read his reasons for dedicating the award to Heath Ledger and they're perfectly good.

Pretty much.

Also, I wanna watch The Passion Of Joan Of Arc again. That movie is so fucking haunting.

I've never taken much of interest into his other movies, but There Will Be Blood is decidedly worth watching. If you've ever liked a Kubrick film you should definitely watch it.

I like all the Kubrick I've seen, from Strangelove onwards, except Eyes Wide Shut. Decent idea fucked over by Tom and Nicole.
