I recently watched LA confidential again..and at the time it was an amazing movie..ground breaking action scenes..good plot. After seeing it NOW though, i didnt think it stood the test of time. Thats kind of a true marker of a classic. Boogie Nights Fits the bill. Its Timeless..even now its good.
I completely agree. -

I agree with some of these. Disagrees with others. Like Aliens for example, are you serious? That is like the magnum opus of Sci-Fi Action Thrillers. Far better than Alien which feels a bit outdated, but is still good.

Return of the Jedi is a great movie? Really? Star Wars with muppets? The only saving grace in that film is the Emperor. Without him, that movie is nothing.
Also, saying Barry Lyndon is a better movie than Boogie Nights is really a matter of opinion. It's like comparing apples and oranges. I for one would rather watch Boogie Nights any day as I barely was able to make it through one sitting of the excruciatingly slow Barry Lyndon. -

Well, yes. As is everything else we're discussing on here (including your comments about Return of the Jedi). That goes without saying! -

Boogie Nights belongs in the top 10, granted, but your list of supposed atrocities could be improved. Listing Barry Lyndon in particular equates to a red herring. Toy Story and Jurassic Park are also very worthy.

I don't agree. Barry Lyndon is riveting. Toy Story and Jurassic Park are exceptionally well made films. I don't know if they would make my personal list, but I can definitely understand their place on that list in general.

Barry Lyndon
Ehr What the hell? Paul Thomas Anderson himself would probably be quite impressed with that statement. The critical reception of Barry Lyndon goes way beyond anything PTA has ever done. Now that doesn't dictate that it's better but I'm just saying (perhaps it's not the best movie too choose for such a thread).
And whats wrong with Return of the Jedi (I mean you listed that and not the 2 others)?
Toy Story is a damn good animation movie and I think the first big feature 3d animation film.
Jurasic Park is really good aswell. The dinos were the entire premise but it worked, can't blame the movie for that.
The Dark Knight is problematic yeah.
But I don't get why you pick theese films. I mean films like Platoon, The Green Mile, The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers are up there.
You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were and I say Why not? -

Jurassic Park is pure Hollywood with totally inaccurate dinosaurs - raptors were only the size of a medium sized dog in real life. T Rex' were way smaller too. After reading all the inaccuracies about it, the film really lost a lot of respect from me. Oh yeah, there were also no venomous or poison spitting dinosaurs. But either way, I chose to use these films as examples because for me, they're not nearly in the same league as Boogie Nights.
