Slacky McSlackAss Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 LOTR was a great movie, even though I saw it for the first time last month. But The Departed was such an amazing film I had to give it my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Jam Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Who else voted Slumdog? We're in the minority. It's not that I necessarily think it was better than all of the others. I simply enjoyed it more. I'm STILL trying to figure out why. Maybe I like a good, cheesy, happy ending every once in a while.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Glad someone else thinks so. Based on these votes I was worried maybe I watched a different version of Gladiator lol. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 bc your gf is Indian and you're biased I wouldnt say that per se MissU. Slumdog is a wonderful film and I can see why TJ thought it was the best of these films. I truly enjoyed the film, and even though I'm Indian I did not show it any Bias. Needless to say, I would rank it third behind The Departed and LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Slumdog....but I don't think I would watch it again. I wouldn't watch The Departed again, either. I've seen some movies that I thought were great, but I never want to watch again. Mostly because of the depressing aspects of them. LOTR- I have seen many times. Love love love it. All of them. I don't think the ending was too slow, but I know I was like, "DAMNIT, FRODO! Throw the freakin' ring into the fire!!!!" Mad impatient. Gladiator- I have seen a few times. I love it though. I never thought I would like it, bc it's not my type of movie. The music is great, Russell Crow is a fantastic actor, and just very well made. The Departed- I watched it and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I haven't seen it in like a year though, so I don't really remember it, but I do remember liking it. Crash I didn't like. I hate movies that try and send a message. I haven't seen the rest of them.

Touchdown Redskins Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Honestly, for me it was Slumdog. Looking back at that list (and I've seen them all), none of them had as much emotional impact for me. Now, that could be because I'm Indian....

You know, if you ask me, I still think Bollywood makes a mockery of Indian culture. I wonder if she feels the same way about Slumdog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing. She was adopted when she was less than two years old. She has no idea who her real parents are. The only info she has is that she was born in the slums and quickly adopted. She's only just now learning about Indian culture. I saw pictures of her when she first came over here. They are sad and depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
