I also went to film school in the 90s. I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater and thought it was funny, but every male classmate of mine started imitating Tarantino and it got old really fast. I think we’re on the same wavelength as far as all of these movies are concerned.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorites.. The main reason is there's so many different stories in it but as the movie goes on all of the stories come together.

It's sad we've gotten to a point where every video like this has to explain what an opinion is and why it shouldn't enrage you.

The Matrix for me was groundbreaking story-wise. Saw it as a senior in H.S. at the theaters. But hasn’t aged well in all areas. Pretty much agree with your entire list…except for the Big Lebowski. I put certain movies into my “sleepy movie” category. These are movies that I’ve seen a million times, have likable characters, the themes never get too crazy, and has a sound mix that is very easy on the ears. Basically movies that I can put on and fall asleep to. I put The Shining in the same category. Even though it’s a classic horror with some genuinely terrifying scenes, something about the sound mix and the setting of the Overlook puts me at ease. Maybe I’m some kind of psychopath. Anyways, great video as always!

I catch something new with every viewing of Big Lebowski, whether it's from a comment in the background or another subtle plot device that is easily missed. It's not the greatest film ever made, but it is hilarious and gets funnier with each viewing and new discovery

I am a HUGE old movie buff, so people who know me automatically assume I LOVE CK. They are shocked to find out I don’t. Out of Welles oeuvre, I much prefer The Magnificent Ambersons (even though that was butchered during editing).

The one movie that I never understood was Risky Business. People consider it Tom Cruise’s breakout movie but I consider Top Gun (which came out a couple years later) to be his breakout movie. And the plot of the movie is also really weird.

I don't think anyone really cares about that movie anymore. Sure the visuals were amazing for its time, but that's the only thing it really had going for it. Everything else about it was incredibly dull and generic. It was little more than a long tech demo that showcased how far VFX have come. It lived and died by hype. Visuals aren't enough for a movie to be placed among the greatest movies *of all time*, when the technologies used to make them become obsolete so quickly

@agonleed3841

@@Darticus42 see...thatndoest really make sense. I mean..the reason it's considered the greatest of all times is for the reason that you stated..in it's time it was awesome. Of course people found things better as time went along...but those movies mostly have duplicates. Other movies that incorporates the same ideas within the same time. Matrix came with a plot and visuals that were great and no one else did it that way. Like...the ps1 is considered the greatest console of all time...even though ps2, 3 and Xbox 360 and one does what it did and better. That doesn't take away from the fact that in its time it was innovative, creative, unique. All that earned it it's title. And people..like me who honestly thought we could never get anything better than the quality that ps1 games got....i don't even play those games much anymore. I play them...but I can admit that we have better quality now. That I may play them in passing and from nostalgia...but...i .ca enjoy it for...the time it was created. A time when it was the greatest. There are boxers who could beat Ali today. And there are dancers who can outdance Michael Jackson and basketball players who can probably break down Jordan, but we still call those people the greatest. That's because in their time...they were. And they brought something then that no one saw before. A quality that was innovative, new, or unique. And everything afterwards seems to be built upon their ideas. And so...maybe if it weren't for them...we wouldn't have the quality of games, movies, fighters, players, etc...today. You need to understand what makes something the greatest of all time. It's found in the concept.
