Greatest Movie of All Time - Group 2

[Misanthrope]

The Shawshank Redemption: The runaway winner of the last two LU's Top 50 movies, and a arguably the greatest adaptation of at Steven King story.

The Great Escape: A beloved classic that features one of the most memorable moments in cinema history.

Full Metal Jacket: Kubrick's cerebral, brutal look at the Vietnam War - this wartime piece of genius is a perennial favourite.

Toy Story: Making animation cool again, the story of Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody was a hit with children and adults alike.

Glory: One I've not seen, so I can't provide much insight. A 1989 film about one of the first all African-American units in the United States Civil War. Denzel was in it, so I don't doubt it was moving and epic.

I'm a Kubrick fan (Full Metal Jacket)

 

[Skeletor]

So close between Shawshank and Full Metal Jacket. Had to go with Shawshank though.

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

If you don't go with Full Metal Jacket here you need a lobotomy.

 

[Misanthrope]

The second half of Full Metal Jacket always bugged me. The first 'movie' was wonderful - the second felt just a little bit like a cheeseball action movie at points.

 

[Samwise]

Shawshank is so friggin overrated. Goddamn cliche of a movie. I hate it.

FMJ FTW TBH

 

[God-King Dean]

The second half of Full Metal Jacket always bugged me. The first 'movie' was wonderful - the second felt just a little bit like a cheeseball action movie at points.

That's what I was gonna say. The drill instructor made that movie.

Another tough one. Give it to The Great Escape over Shawshank just.

[Keeper of the Light]

That's what I was gonna say. The drill instructor made that movie.

The Drill Instructor was really wild. Haven't seen the movie in years, but will always remember that bloke.

 

[Misanthrope]

And we've got our winners. The Shawshank Redemption and Full Metal Jacket progress.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

geez i missed this.

Toy Story.

I was the right age when it came out.

great movie. had some fantastic one liners in it that i still laugh at ..10 years on?

 

[2 True Blues]

I can't believe GLORY got no votes. this was the only pole where I had to hesitate. The great escape is a classic movie too, though the American bullsh*t in the movie makes it third. Glory a close second to Shawshank though.
