Thread: The Prestige's Prestigious films to immerse you

I definitely think Sin City should be higher on the list (what a shock, right? ), definitely higher than things like Casino Royale and *gasp* X-Men 2.

Nevertheless good list so far.

I think that The Ice Storm is much worse than Pieces of April, but that's because even though I think The Ice Storm perfectly fits into Lee's oeurve and it has that cool upside-down car scene, it basically is just a crappy BS variation on the crappy Ordinary People.

^ Ditto Mark, ditto.

Saving Private Ryan was a 1998 film, not 1999.

Also, nice work again Prestige. The Matrix was my favourite film when I was about eleven and even then I didn't grasp everything about it that I now do. A rather rewarding film.

I haven't heard of Nil By Mouth, either. Sounds interesting. Nice list!

The Dark Knight is definitely top 10 worthy, at least it is for me. I've seen it on a lot of other people's top 10 here, too. Anyways, I remember that he is a big Nolan fan.

Yeah, i'm holding off finishing my list till i fill the last 2 spots and think Jesse James currently in main contention with another surprising film (to me as well) for those spots. Or Pee-Wee's Big Adventure

I was pointing out that it's not a film about male friendship which is something anyone should be able to see clearly. One of the central themes of this film is homophobia and its impact on the lives of these two men. Not sure how you could explain that by looking at it as a film about male companionship. It's a film with a specific theme and a very clear, anti-homophobic message which is why I take umbrage when someone completely misses the point and tries to sell it as something it's not.

But hey, if that gets Pyro here to watch it, be my guest, call it a horror film about knitting. I'd still be willing to bet he'd flinch at some "tenderness" exchanged between these two "buds"...

So Jesse James might be your number 1 or 2 then? I'm curious about your suprising film now...is it a recent film?

Lol and were you joking about that Pee Wee film?

Yes, thanks for second guessing me once again, shows how well you think you know me. Two of the 'gay' films i've seen- Mysterious Skin and Bad Education- are actually on my Top Movies List.
