i hate the fact that you don\'t know the difference between a film and a movie.

i liked all 3 lotr\'s, but to put them among the best films is stupid


Fact: Your opinion is wrong. Always.

you don\'t "watch" a film.  it involves you without forcing the story down your throat.

How does a movie force the story down your throat and not a film? :confused:

It\'s not the fact that you identify a difference in quality or significance between the LOTR movies and other works like "Taxi Driver" or "The Grand Illusion."  I agree with you on that.  LOTR doesn\'t quite meet that standard.
 
HOWEVER, it\'s the fact that that you identify that difference by labeling one a "movie" and the other a "film" that makes you a snob.  It is foolish to imagine a firm boundary between those two categories.  There are numerous pictures that fall into a grey area between the two extremes.
 
How would you classify the recent film by David Cronenberg, "A History of Violence" ?  Cronenberg is famous for various exploitative horror films like "Videodrome" and "The Fly," yet "A History of Violence" is one of his occasional projects that might rise above that standard.  To me it definitely falls into the middle ground between mass market horror thriller and contemplative character drama.  That doesn\'t bother me because I don\'t feel a need to label it either "film" or "movie."

The fact that you even care about who likes the shit you like makes your argument biased.

So whatever your favorite movie is... If you found out Gman liked it, would you like it less?

Some people are just impossible to please......

Let mm have his opinion, the majority of movie goers and critics would be on the side of those that loved the LOTR series, three of the best movies or films (or fail to see the difference, never knew they had different definition) I\'ve seen. I hope Jackson does as good as a job with this as he did with those.

To say that LOTR didnt have character development is just being ignorant, just so you can try and make yourself seem above everyone else.
