Both good films too-I feel like he's been fabulous in everything but none of his films have been the sort that I would consider to be a cut above. Good movies but not knocking my socks off yet. Hopefully his next one...BillyB wrote: I forgot about blood diamond - one of DiCaprio's finer efforts along with the Departed.
Gangs of new york, body of lies, shutter island. He's got much better since he was that fresh faced little turd in titanic!! I actually think he chooses some really good scripts to work on now....poodlek wrote:Both good films too-I feel like he's been fabulous in everything but none of his films have been the sort that I would consider to be a cut above.

And snatch of course - he played a great pikey!!Tigerslayer wrote:haha I loved Jurassic Park... I read the book and watched the movie countless times... At the time the effect blew me away.... Same as the Matrix effects when that came out...
As for 12 Monkeys I think Brad Pitt is great. He is very versatile and 12 Monkeys is a great example of some of the quirky roles he takes.
Both safely deserve to be on my favorite movie list for me
Gangs of New York almost made it to my list, it's just a little long (and dare I say self indulgent) for my taste. I do love DDL like crazy. I feel that way about most Scorsese, actually, although I did love The Last Temptation of Christ and The Last Waltz. Should have put those on my first list!BillyB wrote:Gangs of new york, body of lies, shutter island. He's got much better since he was that fresh faced little turd in titanic!!

Is that the Oz soap? We never got that back home so I can't say that I do.BillyB wrote:Chris Nolan usually makes a decent movie but can you remember Guy Pearce in his neighbours days??!nakatago wrote:I just remembered Memento!

Leo's been in some great films, and I love him, but I just haven't been blown away yet.
Yep, I can't remember who he played in Neighbours.nakatago wrote:Is that the Oz soap? We never got that back home so I can't say that I do.BillyB wrote:Chris Nolan usually makes a decent movie but can you remember Guy Pearce in his neighbours days??!nakatago wrote:I just remembered Memento!
Anyway, another guy classic: Fight Club.
Maybe I should get around to reading the book.
I like Leslie Nielsen too but actually these are the directors (Trio: Abrahams and Zuckers). They are behind all the Airplanes, Top Secret and the Naked Guns. They created/promoted LN as majority knows him. Unfortunately they, and later some others, exploited this gender (absurd/parody and background action comedy) a bit too much and it lost a lot from its charm. Airplane 2 has literally nothing to offer comparing to the part one.Tigerslayer wrote:leslie nielsen was a legend, you are definitely correct waaaaay too many films to try and fit them all into a top 15. I think most of his films would be in my full list of favorites.taxico wrote:ah... me thinks favorite film, not favorite films. too many to list... : )x9200 wrote: If Airplane then I am surprised "Top secret" is not on the list.
