It's also a true story and apparently sticks closely to the actual events |

Yeah think there was only a couple of differences between what actually happened and the film, I know they had a different ending just to make it a bit more dramatic for the film. But the majority of the film sticks closely to the story he told. |

On previous best film threads I remember a lot of people were mentioning oldboy so I watched the new one and the original both excellent but there really is to many to pick a favourite

| Quote: The Avenger "Impossible to genuinely name just one film IMO
I'm going to avoid multi film series like LotR etc
Shawshank Redemption is a masterpiece
Schindlers List is the least enjoyable but most captivating and emotionally stirring movie I've ever experienced'"
I watched Schindler's List again recently. Wouldn't necessarily call it the best film ever, but I'd forgotten just what a masterpiece of cinema it is.
Shawshank Redemption, Silence of the Lambs and American History X are three of my personal favourites, but it's difficult to quantify what "Best Film" even means, never mind to pick one.
On the flip side I always felt the Pulp Fiction is probably the most overrated film ever made. I didn't hate it, it has some pretty iconic moments, but I've never quite understood why it's such a mainstay of people's top film lists. Style over substance. |

I would agree that 'best' film is pretty much impossible to quantify, in any terms other than your own personal, very subjective opinion.
For example - I love Pulp Fiction; I guess I was the right age to feel that QT was making cinema that was aimed at me - shamelessly geeky and reverent of the past, but modern, edgy and lacking any respect for structure or convention. I would suggest that Pulp Fiction is a triumph of style *and* substance! |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.

Most of Kubrick's work, if I had to pick one, then I'd go for Barry Lyndon.

Kubrick was a master. Spartacus, The Shining and a Clockwork Orange for me.
