I was there 2 weeks ago - have just set up a Serbian co - I liked it . My mate lives in the new waterfront development - nice bars and restaurants and the older district around republic square was canny as well . But each to their own

I was thinking the vistas of all the really flat scrublands and communist high rise flats as far as the eye can see all around and the only car being the Yugo

Got pelters for this before but I thought Hacksaw Ridge was shite

 

[rapscallion]

It's supposed to be ridiculous. It's a satire on the excesses of Hollywood.

They all thought Scarface was a serious gangsta documentary I think, Jarv.

still waiting on explanation from @cluffy the silly bully boy

Never understood the praise that Donnie Darko gets, it’s absolutely shite

I misread your post at first thought it said Donnie Brasco ! , Agree that Donnie Darko is shite.

Godfather is garbage. Could send a glass eye to sleep.

Nonsense, absolutely brilliant.

 

[FootballFan]

Nonsense, absolutely brilliant.

opinions will differ

I disagree, you could say something wasn't for you but dismissing it as garbage is ridiculous.

Scarface is not one of DePalma’s best maybe but it’s not bad. Carlitos Way is better imo gangster wise.

Most "Classics" are classed that way for a reason. Cinematography, Acting, Ground breakingstories etc.
I get why the ones I don't like are still popular, and probably brilliant in there own way, but they're just not my thing.
Very few films classed as classic, are actually garbage.

The Usual Suspects and Natural Born Killers come to mind. Utter bilge.

I still don’t get The Usual Suspects. How does Gabriel Byrne recognise him as Keyser Soze all of a sudden before he’s shot in the heed at the start?

A Clockwork Orange

Star Wars

all shite

I used to like A Clockwork Orange when I was a young un but it really is terrible

He’s calling him Keyser Soze sorta ironically as he’s finally put two and two together and realised that the gonk was Keyser Soze all along. Whether the alleged cold blooded assassin / master criminal ever properly existed or whether it was all just a myth built up by Spacey playing the long game is not fully examined but the bloke in hospital recognised Spacey as KS.

A Bronx Story. Boring.

 

[Georgewhitt]

Yeah, my thumb would have got bored pressing the button anarl marra.
Ridiculous statement.

He just pissed on his flames, walked normally and sparked up a woodbine casually with his pretzel hand that was no use before

 

[Georgewhitt]

Thought this thread was about classics though.
Usual Suspects is not even close to that category.
Just a filum.
