: : Which is the better movie? : : Spielberg : : RAIDERS or SCHINDLER : Technically and emotionally? Schindler. Viscerally, and enjoyment-wise, Raiders. : : : Scorsese : : GOODFELLAS or TAXI DRIVER : Goodfellas doesn't resonate as much but it was much more well-made, well-acted, well-told and captivating to watch. Taxi Driver was dull for long stretches. : : Zemeckis : : BACK TO THE FUTURE or FORREST GUMP : Gump plays with your emotions more and shows more technical prowess, but Back to the Future is so much more fun. : : Tarantino : : PULP FICTION or KILL BILL : Hmm...without seeing the second half of Bill, it's hard to say overall, but I loved Pulp Fiction like nothing I'd seen before it. Although I felt like that with Kill Bill to a degree, too, but Pulp is better all around. Although I prefer Bill-era Uma. : : Pixar : : MONSTER'S INC or FINDING NEMO : Nemo. : : Columbus : : HOME ALONE or HARRY POTTER (any of them) : Ugh...I suppose the second Potter. Well, both Potters look great, but they left me a little cold somehow. And the second Home Alone was just sadistic. Can I possibly be picking the first Home Alone here? I think I am. Although "None of the above" seems to be the best response. : : Kubrick : : FULL METAL JACKET or THE SHINING : I love love love the first half of Jacket, but something about the cold tone of The Shining works for me top to bottom. That and the old woman nudity. : : Anderson : : BOOGIE NIGHTS or MAGNOLIA : Boogie Nights, I guess, but both were way too long. : : Dante : : GREMLINS or GREMLINS 2 : Phoebe's much cuter in the first one, and the overall first movie's cuter all around, but the second one is a little...ahh, hell, the first one. : : Jeunet : : AMELIE or THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN : City is more impressive but Amelie's the only one I've watched more than once. Nice, including him. : : Smith : : CLERKS or DOGMA : Dogma's still probably the best-written, as in deepest, movie Kevin's made but you always remember your first time more findly, you know? : : That's all for now. Have fun kids. And no fighting. : I hope I have fun kids someday.
