To me, the only way to see Avatar is in an Imax theatre in 3D with surround sound and a screen that is about six stories high



Unfortunately they recently closed the one downtown here in Winnipeg (by the way I did like Avatar too - I saw it twice)

I'm not sure. I remember the 3D effects when they where flying the dragon and so on. They did that way too long, just to play with the 3D toys. It was if the makers had told the audience, OK we take a break here so we can play with our new technical toy, the movie will start soon again. They were impressive effects but they slowed the story down. But is always the same when discover new effects. they use them way too much and the story suffers. Sometimes they even make movies without storys and just cram in a lot of effects. Plain borinng. Avatar had a story, even if it breaks now and then.

Denver
Jaws (the greatest film ever made in my opinion)
The Lord of the Rings Series
Now the Hobbit Series
King Kong by Peter Jackson
Any Stephen King adaptation
Almost anything with Clint involved (exclude such wastes of time as the Bridges of Madison County)
Star Wars (yes, even the prequels)
Star Trek (All of them)
Pretty much action and effects for me. It must also be fiction. If I want some reality, I'll go to work.

..........no matter how many times you have seen them?

One of mine would be John Carpenter's The Thing.
Definitely The Thing.

All the "Halloween" movies both J. Carpenter and Zombie versions.

Godfather series
Bull Durham
[after Spicoli wrecks Jefferson's car]

Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill us! He's gonna kill you and he's gonna kill me, he's gonna kill us!

Jeff Spicoli: Hey man, just be glad I had fast reflexes!

Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna sh*t!

Jeff Spicoli: Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna sh*t or is he gonna kill us?

Jefferson's Brother: First he's gonna sh*t, then he's gonna kill us!

Jeff Spicoli: Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

"If you don't shut up I'm going to kick 100% of your ass mister!"
Lol that movie is a classic.

It certainly looked and sounded authentic, but from what I understand he was an actual DI in the USMC.
Yes he was,back in the Vietnam era..I have a friend who went through Parris Island in the early eighties,and I asked him if it was as rough as it shows.He paled and said "Worse",this is a guy who kids constantly about everything,happy go lucky,but he didn't find anything humorous about the Island..
