I knew there was another one I wanted to list! Thanks, how many times do you quote the movie throughout your life?

And some other Frank Darabont movies, like The Green Mile...

I watched this movie (non-American, so I had no exposure to it) a few months ago. Then I watched it again. And again. Such a brilliant film!

100% agree.

This film was so good. Not fun to watch but a good film and important to see that story/bit of history.

Just watching the movies was very confusing for me; a lot of things didn't make sense. It wasn't until I read the books that I was able to truly enjoy the story.

CGI is overused and over relied upon. They rely so much on it that now movies are kind of crap.

My favorite movie...it was funny, while managing to teach high school kids about diversity and inclusiveness. Powerful stuff!

As someone who both saw the film and read the book, I would better recommend the book (the movie is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the book has much more extra topics that are not shown in the movie)

Unpopular opinion. Dorothy was the Villian. Did not listen to her aunt. Killed a woman just standing there. Stole her shoes. Refused to return the shoes to the rightful heir. Murdered said heir. Exposed the person the land has pinned their hopes and dreams on as a fraud. She literally ruined the lives of everyone she encountered. Horrible person

But whatever happened to the lawsuits as memorialized in the Simpsons episode where Homer gets kicked out of so called "All You Can Eat" fish restaurant: Lionel Hutz- "This is the greatest case of false advertising since I sued "The Neverending Story!" Homer : "So, do you think I have a case?" Lionel Hutz : "Mr. Simpson, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history."

"And don't call me Sherly."

That movie ROCKS!!!!

Zu Zu's petals

I love this movie! "You remind me of the babe!" "What babe?" "The babe with the power!" "What power?" "The power of voodoo." "Who do?" "You do!" "Do what?!" "Remind me of the babe!"

As a 9-year-old, I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly in this. My first crush. Still have a soft spot for her now, if I'm honest.

Phenomenal choice

while the movie was based on a real family it was given the hollywood treatment and its a very loose dramatization.

Love it! But what is in the briefcase? It’s still bugging me after all these years..

I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former room mate!

Especially I and II...

Wasn't Nurse Ratchet one empathetic babe!

One of my top 10 movies of all times!!!!

i still need to see that and read the book

Classic

This one pressed the 'nostalgia' button in me big-time. Being a kid and having adventures with your friends on BMXs. Pure gold.

"Gentlemen, you can not fight here. This is the War Room."

By Graphtar`s hammer!

Watch it with some fava beans and a nice chianti.....

Good one. I liked Toy Story 2 even better.

The truffle shuffle!

love that movie bro

If people could upvote this film, that'd be greeeaat.

So true - the 3 movies of the Star Was Saga are a must have. Too bad they never made any more wonderful movies based on it. (Note the word 'wonderful')

"But this one goes to 11"

Predicted the Trump precidency.

Frankly, my dear...

"It's Franken-steen, not Franken-stein!"

A beautiful movie. So moving. And a little bit of magic too. Loved it. 10/10 would recommend.

"IT'S PEEEEEEOPLE!"

Yesssssssss

A great movie for the whole family, especially the toddlers! (This is a joke dont smite me)

This is definitely a must see, since it defined many of the aesthetics still used in cyberpunk nowadays. If there is a perfect sci-fi movie, it's this one. Shame that there are so many cuts.

Thank you! I strongly urge people to view this movie. It is certainly slow moving and dated in parts, and you will be asking yourself "what on earth did I just see?!" on multiple occasions. But put your thinking cap on and keep an open mind, and I promise it will be a thrilling film viewing experience that will reward your effort. I hate that this movie is so polarizing! It seems that people divide it into either the "you're stupid for not liking it" or the "soooooooo booooring and pretentious" camps. When honestly, it can be enjoyed on so may levels. If you have not seen it, please watch it and then read an analysis from a reputable film critic that will help explain the movie. And if you have already seen it, now would be a good time to see it again. So let's all watch it this week and meet up here at Bored Panda to discus! And I am sorry, I know this is a TL;DR post for sure. I just love this movie so much and want others to experience its joy and wonder.

but the movies weren't true at all to the books!

LOVE this movie! But, beware the f-word count...

What is a yout?

The book is even better (as always)

We're on a mission...FROM GOD!!!!

Same advice I gave To Kill a Mockingbird. Read the book and watch the movie. They are perfect partners.

Yes. Most impressive war film. The book is very thrilling as well.

OMG THATS LIKE MY FAVORITE MOVIE

Ah, yes my bedtime movie when I was kid. I was a strange child.

um...it was Actually released in 1960. great movie though!

"Let's do the time warp again!" But it's even better when you think you're watching the American version, but wind up watching the UK version instead my middle school self was traumatized. Yet, I watched horror movies at a very young age and it was this movie that scarred me. I love the movie, now though.

I agree. It's perfect. Some claim that Citizen Kane is the greatest film of all time, but it's full of unpleasant people.

Not a fun ride, but one that I think more of us need to see.

Watched over again I can't even count and laugh my @$$ off every time. Dispersing the ashes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and so on.

And I reason that Harold McGee wrote On Food and Cooking...

This movie is an underrated comedy gem. It is so beautifully understated as it is played with such a straight bat. These guys understand comedy

Classic. "And in the mornin', I'm making waffles."

Nosferatu 1922
