very true

I don't think movies really aired on television after being in the theater until the advent of cable in the 80's/HBO.

Destor 08-18-2017 09:41 AM

Holds up too

Destor 08-18-2017 09:42 AM

I think the score is the only thing that has really aged poorly

Destor 08-18-2017 09:42 AM

YOU SHOULD SEE IT IS ALL

Lock Jaw 08-18-2017 09:43 AM

I've never seen it either. Maybe we should have a movie night at the office, slik......

slik 08-18-2017 09:46 AM

I have never seen Doctor Zhivago either but I have seen the rest of the top ten. Only film out of those I don't care for is "The Sound of Music" via my intense disliking of most movie musicals.

Lock Jaw 08-18-2017 10:56 AM

I have only seen 4 of the top 10......

Destor 08-18-2017 11:09 AM

tragic

Lock Jaw 08-18-2017 11:33 AM

Not many of them interest me, tbh

Hope Wonder woman breaks the record so DC fans have something to compete with. The Marvel side is so 1 sided atm.

Ruien 08-18-2017 01:16 PM

I don't give a shit about Des goes fake inflation money either.

Inflation is theft

I've seen all except for Dr Zhivago and The Sound of Music.

Swiss Ultimate 10-03-2017 05:34 PM

I figured Avatar would make a shitload of money.

I guess it's too much competition.

JimmyMess 10-04-2017 05:31 PM

I'm curious why/how the inflation changed so drastically in the 50's... because Ben Hur made $74 million in 1959 which is $871 million today and the Ten Commandments made $65 million in 1956 yet thats 1.164 billion today...

I'm not good at the numbers

Destor 10-04-2017 06:12 PM

The federal reserve ruined the currency

Watched this again on DVD, feel like it was the same movie as Man of Steel only with Wonder Woman. Didn't get that feeling the first time seeing it but couldn't help it this time. Both focused on young versions early and had parents that didn't really motivate them to be heros they are. Both had to figure out who they really were. The villians were also similar as they both come from the heros orgin in a way. Not a bad thing as I enjoyed both movies but just noticed it in my second viewing and thought it was kind of odd.

Lock Jaw 10-06-2017 07:23 PM

Except for the fact that Wonder Woman was all "I'm gonna go help people because it is the right thing to do. Now I'm going to lead these soldiers into battle while inspiring them"

While Superman was all "I don't know what to do, oh some aliens are here calling me out, I guess I'll help out. Now I'm going to go help these soldiers enact their plan to save the day"

Agree, that's probably the biggest bash on Man of Steel as well. Superman wasn't really represented how he should have been character wise.

They tried to "modernize" him forgetting the fact that him being a good natured farm boy from kansas is part of what make him Superman. It wasn't Superman, it was someone with superpowers like Superman but it wasn't Superman. Clark was lacking one person in his life to make him the one true Superman and i think that was the one true Jonathan Kent and he wasn't in Man of Steel. Costner might as well have been playing his mirror universe version. I did enjoy the movie but after meeting Pa Kent for the first time I realized that this was not going to be anywhere close to a Christopher Reeve Superman. Man of Steel was like reading an elseworlds title, yeah it was Superman but not OUR Superman.

Swiss Ultimate 10-06-2017 09:20 PM

The point is that Chris was really great in this movie.

Blonde Moment 10-07-2017 01:59 AM

The only bad thing about Wonder Woman is that its sequel wasn't filmed back to back

Lock Jaw 10-07-2017 02:27 AM

Why would it need to be?

Kalyx triaD 10-08-2017 01:56 AM

Teared up during the No Man's Land scene. Not sure why. Something about it hit home. I dunno.

Damian Rey 2.0 10-08-2017 04:13 PM

You and both, KT. Her coming up out of that trench is, imo, is one of the best comic book film scenes I've seen.
