  1. A terrible jumbled up movie, like every other movie made by Ridley Scott.

    • Best movie ever made.

      • gator69 says:

        IMHO the best movies are those that make me laugh the most, and for my dollar ‘Animal House’ may be the greatest ever. Tough choice though when you have ‘Caddy Shack’, ‘Airplane’, ‘Young Frankenstein’, ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, and ‘Blazing Saddles’ tickling my funny bone.

        Life is serious enough on its own.

        • Brian says:

          I never liked Ferris. Even as a kid I wanted to choke that pretentious character.

        • gator69 says:

          I guess it helped seeing it as an adult, no peer issues. My girlfriend and I both agreed we had never laughed as long and hard, as when we saw Ferris at the theater. It was a novel movie, very cleverly written and executed. But it does not have the return appeal of the others I listed.

      • Well if you judge a movie’s greatness by the confused plot line you’ll truly consider Prometheus a masterpiece.

    • Brian says:

      Alien and Blade Runner are good films. After that, it gets questionable.

    Who made Aliens?
    Master and Commander
    Black Hawk Down?
    Bladerunner?
    Kingdom of Heaven?
    Thelma and Louise?
    G.I. Jane?

    He he…

    • Brian says:

      James Cameron made Aliens… He made Aliens.

      • Brian says:

        Alien.

        • Eric Barnes says:

          Definitely Alien. Sigourney Weavers part was overwritten/overacted in Aliens.

        • Brian says:

          It’s a trade off for me. It’s not like the characters in the original are the deepest. The original provides more scares and the sequel provides more action and colorful characters. So it just depends on the mood.

          Same way with the first two Terminator movies for me.

  4. Olaf Koenders says:

    Then there’s Prometheus, which obviously had CAGWist Cameron involved, going by all the misinformation and diatribe about CO2..

  5. Edmonton Al says:

    When I was 10, I thought “Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein” was the best.

    • Yes, we reveal ourselves by our preferences in such polls. I have seen too many really good movies, at every stage of my life, to have just one favorite now. What strikes me now, more often than not, is the number of movies or movie stars that I DON’T like, that others think are the best. I am probably the only person in the world who thinks “Forest Gump” is a grating, false film, or that “Titanic” was a remake really not worth making.

  6. There Is No Substitute for Victory says:

    It would be interesting to see if there was an up tick in child birth among Chicks in the Titanic demographic age group starting 9 months after Titanic was screened for the first time.
