But there isn't: it all boils down to personal preferences.</div> I think you are wrong. I believe there is an objective standard for good, and i outlined them above. Something has to be creative and original, while maintaining solid diologue and storytelling. Something of course can be totally off the wall and still be good, but you can't say a movie was good because u liked it. Thats just ridiculous. You liked it because you liked it, thats fine, but there are criteria that class movies better then others. I can't say that Battlefield earth was a good movie cause i liked it. It was terribly acted, written and directed. I can say I liked it because i'm a douche, but thats different.
I don't think the purpose of the thread was to list your top all time movie lists. I approached it as a thread to recommend movies I've recently watched, or some uncommon movies most people never heard of. I'm not saying Click is award worthy, but it's a movie I watched a few days ago, and it was decent enough to recommend. Same goes for the Break Up. They were good for a few laughs and the underlying message in Click is admirable.
Well, Rush Hour 1 and Rush Hour 2 are both great movies. If you want to have a good laugh mixed with some action, these movies are perfect

Check out In The Heat Of The Night you would like it
I love movies man. They portray so much. Little movies like Click to complex movies like Momento, if it's a good movie, I'll probably love it. I've always been into movies though, it's strange. Nobody else in my family watches movies like me, just the more popular ones. I'll be sure to check that movie out.

Nice. List . Those would be on mine as well, you seem like a movie buff. Some others movies I suggest you check out: - Apocalypse Now - City Of God (VERY good movie) - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Lawrence Of Arabia (Oh, I wish I could this on 70mm) - Chinatown - Requiem for a Dream - Taxi Driver
