What do you consider to be real four star movies? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

marcopolo · 07-23-2003, 02:56 PM

What movies come to mind when you think " four star film? " I'm curious to see how ideas compare between what are considered four star films by viewers, as opposed to critics.

My short list:

2001
Full Metal Jacket
Young Frankenstein
Gangs of New York
Dr Strangelove

Also, what, to you, makes a four star movie?

lurkette · 07-23-2003, 03:19 PM

Fight Club
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Lord of the Rings (FOTR)
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
Babe (yes, the talking pig movie)

leon2345 · 07-23-2003, 03:52 PM

Lawrence of Arabia
Seven Samurai
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

and just for kicks...Drunken Master 2

For me, a 4 star flick has to make me (I realize it sounds corney) care about the characters. Most movies nowadays I don't feel anything remotely close to that.

docbungle · 07-23-2003, 05:17 PM

A Clockwork Orange
Apocalypse Now
Blade Runner
The Godfather 1,2
One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest
Angel Heart
Dog Day Afternoon

Conclamo Ludus · 07-23-2003, 06:40 PM

Almost everything mentioned and,

The Royal Tenenbaums
Amelie
Sexy Beast

For a few newer ones.

Brazil
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
12 Monkeys

I'm a Terry Gilliam fan.

Casablanca
Key Largo
Rope
Citizen Kane
The Manchurian Candidate

For some classics.

Princess Mononoke
The Animatrix
Spirited Away
and of course Akira

For some anime.

There are many more, but those roll off the top of my head as movies that are four star simply because I can watch them a hundred times and still find something new every time.

Michael Collins. He was a great man

TRPF · 08-12-2003, 01:32 PM

I say there is typically only one true 4 star movie per year. For this year it's Pirates of the Caribbean. Last years pick would be Catch Me If You Can.

To be given the fourth star, a film should be head and shoulders above it's competition. I think it should be weighed against the films of the day, so as to compare apples to apple (Like trying to compare The Matrix v. Gone With the Wind)...

BigGov · 08-12-2003, 01:38 PM

Scarface
Snatch
The Silence of the Lambs
Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
Dogma
Training Day
Das Boot
Forrest Gump

only movies I could think of off the top of my head, but not my fave movies.

JumpinJesus · 08-16-2003, 06:51 AM

I'm not so sure that just comparing a movie to others of that year to determine whether it merits 4 stars is the best way. Apparently that's how they decide the Oscars and some of those movies blow. But that's another subject.

For me, a 4 star movie has to be one in which I don't check my watch to see how long it's been on. One in which I can see characters, not actors, and stories, not hastily constructed plots.

A 4 star movie has to get me either thinking, talking, or reacting in some way afterward. It has to be one I'm willing to tell friends, "You have GOT to see this film." It can be social commentary, comedy, or any other genre.

It also has to be timeless. That is, it doesn't lose it's flavor as the years pass. It remains relevant, even if its predictions falter, like in 2001.To that end, some of my 4 star movies:

Magnolia
This is Spinal Tap
12 Angry Men
Vertigo
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Dances with Wolves
Life is Beautiful
Cinema Paradiso
The Right Stuff
and just about every other movie mentioned here as well.

What is wrong with Kevin Smith?

Sure, they aren't going to be timeless classics, but I think they are pretty damned funny!

Regziever · 08-16-2003, 10:08 AM

Hmm...

Lost and Delirious
Akira
Ghost in the Shell

Ah, the superior movie Starship Troopers! This movie alone introduced me into the world of Heinlein and for this I will be forever grateful!

QuasiMojo · 08-17-2003, 12:11 AM

I think that a four star movie is a movie that continues to play in your mind as you pour out into the parking lot. And continues to play in your mind on the way home. And you can't help but to talk about it for days. A four star movie is a movie that lingers...sticks in your craw...asking questions...A Meal. You feel full after a four star movie.

What is wrong with Eyes Wide Shut?

Speed_Gibson · 08-19-2003, 07:30 PM

top of my head:
0) The Big Sleep (1946)
1) The Birth of the Nation (1915) - ground breaking film and powerfull compelling story
2) The Road films with Hope, Crosby, and Lamour - quick easy humour, fantastic music/singing, Dorothy is oh so easy on the eyes, and Bob and Bing played so well off of each other.
3) Whales of August (1987) - The only time you can see Lillian Gush (93 at the time), Bette Davis (one year before her death), and Vincent Price (two years before he died) together onscreen.
