    Quote from dux

    I watched rambo 2 the other night. Not as good as I remember it

    And I watched Rocky a few weeks ago and It's still phenomenal movies.

    Quote from Buddy

    I watched Rambo 1 sometime ago and i dont know why its perceived as dumb action movie tbh.Action was merely playing part in the movie.

    I don't think First Blood was intentionally perceived as a dumb action movie. At least by people who watched it. Just Rambo 2 and 3 generated that perception and 1 got strung along with it I guess.

    Quote from dux

    Yeah, rambo 1 was awesome; really great movie. Although... rambo 4... pretty decent Tossup between 1 and 4, really for me!

    Rambo 4 for me, just because the end is like eating a big piece of chocolate cake. So if u dont like cake, u dont like rambo j/k but I really enjoyed 4.

    Man I re-watched Inception again last night in blu-ray glory, what a well polished gem!

    Chris Nolan is the Steven Spielberg of this decade.

    I watched The Postman Always Rings Twice last night. It has one of the best femme fatale scenes in film noir. What a bitch

    216. 8.0 Låt den rätte komma in (2008)

    everything else on the imdb top 250 list i either like or i recognize it as being "known to be good by everyone" and is there for not worth mentioning !

    Sweet, never heard of that, but from the title alone it's clearly Lovecraft inspired which instantly appeals to me! I'll seek it out.

    Warby i completely disagree with you on many of them. Bolded are films that i consider to be great. At least there are some overlaps with the ones that you like so our tastes are only like 90% different Ingmar Bergman is my favourite director btw. I have seen almost his entire filmography.

    had some good fun again with anders thomas jensen:

    the green butchers is one of the best danish movies ever! everyone should see it, it's awesome

    also i just finished season 3 of supernatural. a little bad acting aside, it kicks ass.
