The crow. Why? Because I didn't see it. And I'd like to keep it that way. I don't care, you see? It's a movie that I won't need to see to have something to talk about. Or I can talk about what I didn't see, which is better, because I just don't want to see the crow.
 
Most movies are accesable for anyone, only the corw is one of those movies you are supposed to have seen when you are a Gothic, and I can't relate in anything to Gothic, even though my ex-girlfriend was one, partially.
 
All the other movie series are okay, although I think the chronologically first 3 star wars movies lacked virtually anything that made the real first (actually the last off course, epp 4,5,6) star wars movies cool. The oldie Star Wars movies bring back memory and flavours of an oldere Era. The other 3 are just... "the other 3" I don't like them a bit. There is hardly any scene without special effects and the actors aren't that great at all. I only liked number 3. Why? Because it has Darth Vader. Darth Vader owns big time. Darth Vader rocks. Darth Vader is awesome, shan de ro!  
 
I liked lord of the rings. Probably because I like new zealand. And I like the fantasy thing. Maybe I am somewhat related to gothics, but fantasy existed before gothicism, so mlèh. I liked the book better. I can tell a whole lot about the LotR serie, but I have negative thoughts about Harry Potter.  
 
As for Harry Potter. I don't really know. I don't really like the Harry Potter-fellow. He's a schmuck. Hermoine is becoming quite a foxy one, but who cares. She's an actor. I don't like actors. (I am not going to call them by their rael names, simply because I am to lazy to look them up). I also don't like witches. Because they suck. And I happen to know that the writer "what's her name" is a witch-like someone. Great books though, and the movies are pretty entertaining. I've seen em all (not read them all, because I am reading the bible right now, which is a pretty big bone to crush, it's like trying to read a library), except the last one. Meh, in time, I say.  
 
I'm not saying you are a schmuck, watching these movies. I only think you should keep in mind that books are always better. Why? Movies are productions to make money. Books are the writers feelings and thoughts. Money will never equal feelings and thoughts. So if you think I call you a schmuck watching these movies, then I'm a schmuck as well, because I also have seen most of them.  
 
That was my little rant. Thanks for reading, if you went trough all the trouble. 'preciate it.
 
And screw typo's.

ok i decided to post which one i think sucked the most..that would be Harry Potter... horrible horrible movies.. they just sucked. The actors werent that good and the graphics and stuff were bad... in the 4th movie.. i almost couldnt follow the plot and I used to be a fanatic.. seriously.. very very bad!! so Harry Potter is the one I hated the most...  
 
next comes the older star wars.. just cause they were so old and I think the guy who plays Luke is kinda ugly..
 
I dont feel like commenting on the rest cause they were pretty good.. so there..  
 
I dont get what you mean with the Crow being gothic Broomaster.... I didnt think it was at all.. you have to have actually seen it to make that assumption... I thought it was a particularly endearing movie.. it was cute...

I watched The Crow. I think it did seem gothic. I'm not particularly interested in gothic things, but I thought the movie was alright. Brandon Lee was great eyecandy even with the make-up on.

Wow how is there any debate about The Crow being a gothic movie.

Are you trying to make a point that you are so entrenched in goth culture that you are immune and can't accurately decipher what goth is because it's the norm and you even have the ability to find it cute?  
Ok point taken.
And just because something is "goth" doesn't mean it can't be endearing.

im not gothic.. far from it.. im not prep either.. uhh stereotypes.. im a neutral weird person.. just cause the guys face is all done up.. his face is that way so people dont recognize him...plus.. a little crow told him to.. you wouldnt disobey a crow now would you? and I thought whats his name was sexy.. someone can wear black and not be gothic...and besides hes a dead guy... it was probably looking that way so the guy didnt look all dead and gross and stuff... the entire movie is about this guy trying to kill the guys who raped and killed his girlfriend and himself and help the little girl who was kidnapped and is his girlfriends sister...now isnt that such a lovely story?

uhh stereotypes..

I didn't stereotype anything, to stereotype would be to say: all goths act like this. Or that. Plus it was a question that you could have confirmed or denied. As far as labeling something or someone, I don't see a problem with that, it's when you pass judgement on that label that it becomes a problem.

and besides hes a dead guy...

Does it get any more gothic then that?
 
It's not just the face paint, the whole movie was dark undertones and filled with gothic visuals. At this point the word itself gothic can be used to describe anything "dark" but it also has other very specific definitions too.
 
Anyhow I might even pick the Crow for the weakest series. I remember seeing it and not disliking it or liking it. Just remember not being super impressed, and I'm into dark imagery, movies, and music. Maybe I need to watch it again, I may even like it more now but I never saw the sequels nor do I have any desire too.

you wouldnt disobey a crow now would you?

(REP: I have my doubts. Did you know that crows might be smarter then Chimps? So if someone had trained that crow to tell someone something, well...)

someone can wear black and not be gothic...

(REP: Touché, I wear black, and I sure ain't Gothic.)

and besides hes a dead guy...

(REP: Getting warmer to Gothic, or should I say colder?)

it was probably looking that way so the guy didnt look all dead and gross and stuff...

(REP: If they want to make someone look dead in a movie, don't worry, they'll try to convince you.)

the entire movie is about this guy trying to kill the guys who raped and killed his girlfriend and himself and help the little girl who was kidnapped and is his girlfriends sister...now isnt that such a lovely story?

(REP: Yes, that is definately cute.)


 
Litheless, you might as well think of the Brothers in Arms series as cute.  
 
Cute, I can tell cute from not cute.

Osaka from Azumanga Daioh is cute.

Audrey Tautou is cute.

And a Chocobo is cute.
 
So explain cuteness to me, because I might be wrong.
 
And NO, I'm not going to watch the Crow. Because I don't feel like it. Just like I wish I didn't watch Titanic.

No matter how much I dislike the other options, The Crow series definitely sucked the most, the first film was entertaining but the others were just bad.
*edit* and they all had the same damn story.
 
Talk about tarnishing the memory of Brandon Lee.
 
Speaking of Lees, has anyone here seen Game of Death two? Is it bad?

(the video IS kinda cute... but I think it's more like "sexy-cute" in a way)
 
@ TomJohn
 
Hey hey, don't talk bad about Lees
 
Remember Bruce "Whackaaaaa!!!" Lee!
 
I guess this has turned into another "talk-about-movies-thread" heh heh...
 
 
But as TomJohn said:
 
the first film was entertaining but the others were just bad.
*edit* and they all had the same damn story.
 
They actually did the same with Jaws. The one's that come after the first movie, are mostly made to get as much out of the fanbase as possible. Just like a lot of expansions with games. I don't like them doing that, so usually I get my games at discounts, or somewhere else, heh heh. I bought "Codename: Panzers" for 10 euro's yesterday, which is a bargain. GO DISCOUNTS!
 
Anyway, let's head back to topics.

Alright since it wasn't in the choices listed above I am going to have to take you all back a few years to movie "series" that really sucked......ok maybe they didnt suck but since they weren't included in the choices I thought I would bring up a few that were over looked.
 
How about the "Karate Kid" series with Ralph Macchio and the late great Pat Morita.  The first movie was pretty good but the follow-ons pushed the envelope a bit too far, especially when they supposedly came to Okinawa....that was a historic joke.
 
Next what about the Exorcist series with Linda Blair...left more than a little to be desired.
 
Back to the Future....hmmmmm..Michael J.Fox and Christopher Lloyd.....fun for kids, but...hmmmmmm
 
What about the more recent ones that only had two movies in the series like Angela Jolie in Tomb Raider...besides Angela being sexy as hell....sorry once again hmmmmmm
 
and what about the Mummy and The Mummy Returns...I thought that Rachel Weisz who plays Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell and Princess Nefertiri were ......ok here is where Hachiro starts drooling.....sorry folks....I just loved how she looked and her character in these films Tongue Grin
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120616/
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209163/
 
I just think that the options included in the poll above were a bit limited.  Anyone else with any others that they could add, besides what's listed in the poll?
 
OK Bruce Lee movies are acceptable as well....

I think so too. I think there are two types of cute. There is cute like a puppy and there is cute like a cute guy or girl. Sexy and cute are on a continuum when it comes to describing people. I think that it's good to have a balance between the two, but leaning towards cute is better.
