a "2001" wannabe that fails at pretty much everything it tries. made me write this list. will undoubtetly fall in ratings, but will undoubtetly remain overrated. - DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsTom HanksRobin WrightGary SiniseThe history of the United States from the 1950s to the '70s unfolds from the perspective of an Alabama man with an IQ of 75, who yearns to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart.#15 with 8.7

my rating: 6/10
a slightly above-average movie that is basically remembered for a plot twist that shocked people back in the nineties, but which is seen from a mile ahead by every cineast nowadays. just goes to show how much more ambitious movies got. - 19641h 35mPG8.3 (519K)97MetascoreDirectorStanley KubrickStarsPeter SellersGeorge C.

not bad, but lets face it: mccormack's novels work better as books, and this was mainly pointless and boring. - DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongAfter being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days.#71 with 8.4
my rating: 6/10
not bad, but overrated like most korean movies, from people that think everything that comes from korea/japan instead of hollywood is automatically good. copies heavily from 20 different blockbusters. ends up as having a couple of great scenes, but doesnt really stitch them together that well, and ends up not really making much sense. - DirectorOlivier NakacheÉric ToledanoStarsFrançois CluzetOmar SyAnne Le NyAfter he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver.#38 with 8.5
my rating: 7/10
a decent feelgood movie, but definitely not top 50 material. will probably fall out of there anyways
