Isn’t that a fairly mediocre movie?

Re: Movies, Actors & Directors Tournament: Ello Sailor's Pic
I think there are hundreds of 90s movies I would pick ahead of it.
If you look at reviews or scores around the web, they mostly seem low.
Don’t see what Avatar has to do with it?

7,0 (87000 votes) on imdb, vs 7,8 (1100000)
74% audience score vs 82%
But again it’s got nothing to do with Avatar. Just nowhere near the best 90s movie.

Re: Movies, Actors & Directors Tournament: Ello Sailor's Pic
The audience score is from rt, the other score is from imdb. I always look at the audience score over the professional critics.tragabigzanda wrote:Your numbers make no sense without more info attached. And it is very easily a top-tier 90s film. It obliterates most of the popular and Oscar shit from that decade.
Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Forrest Gump, The Silence Of The Lambs, Unforgiven, Fargo, The Shawshank Redemption, LA Confidential, Seven, The Matrix, Schindler’s List, Terminator 2, Fight Club etc. A great decade for movies.

Six times, and it’s a good movie. It wouldn’t be my pick of the 2000s, not even close.tragabigzanda wrote:No but it’s a movie that anders had seen almost ten times and it sucks!
