Very good - 8.5

Usual Suspect got a better screenplay
BOOM!!!
And Saw is not the mother of twist, bitch, maybe you need to watch Hitchcock's Psycho

dude just go check imdb top 250 movies, half of the movies in top 100 are really old and got top in list due to old voters. Take for example Rear Window (1954) making 40th at the list where Memento (2000), Django Unchained (2012), The Prestige (2006), Gladiator (2000), Heat (1995) and many more, which i found more interesting than Rear Window and The Usual Suspects, are underrated imo.
Ever consider the possibility that those films got higher votes because the people voting just simply liked them more? Also, Heat and The Usual Suspects were released in the same year.

Movies released in "old times" don't have more votes and 8.6 is just about right. Or maybe you're right and everyone else is wrong.

i am not saying " because i am young i should like new movies ".. definitely not
I never suggested that you were saying that. But you ARE saying that people vote for old movies because they're old themselves. In that case, I could just as well argue that you vote for newer movies because you are young.
Just that movies being released in old times have more votes compared to new ones, so ratings are unfair for new movies..
No, they're not. It's not like people have been able to vote for movies on IMDb since the 1950s. And you're wrong, a movie like The Prestige (2006) has 854.717 votes, while Rear Window (1954) only has 319.746 votes. If anything, I'd argue that the ratings are unfair because older movies have less votes than newer movies.

Okay, dude. Just know the being young is okay and so is being old. A person can be both.

Why so you say that had you seen The Usual Suspects in 1995 you'd have liked it more? Just wondering. Which movies are better in your opinion?

i am 22 and my age has nothing to do with my liking lol.
If i watched it back in 1995, i would have definitely liked it more. But after a number of good movies have released i think it's kinda unfair for this movie to have such high rating. i'd give it around 8, but 8.6 is kinda high beats many good movies stuck at 8.5. idk i am just making a point.

How old are you? Maybe when you're older you'll see the movie differently.

"SAW (2004), the mother of twists."
Good lord. Saw's is the most anemic plot twist not written by Shyamalan I know. It does exactly nothing to make you reconsider the events of the movie, and demonstrates better than any of Saw's other failings that the writers didn't know what they were doing.

Not high for the greatest movie ever made.

Gigli
(2003) is a lot better than this movie. It was just goddamn boring!
There's something wrong with Esther.

Ermno. As great as the Prestige, Departed, and even Saw actually are, Usual Suspects IS better
The Departed isn't even an original film - If you didn't know, it is a remake of Infernal Affairs

Imagine watching this movie in 1995 you didnt have this kind of ending at that time, after that the twist ending was very fashionable, maybe us those who had watched this movie at that time rate this movie very high.

Movies are subjective. /end thread

I don't take the rating system here all that seriously. I tend to reward films I liked and punish those that I hated. In 50 years no one will care.

I was entertained so much more by The Usual Suspects than by the other two named. So many little touches. It's a lot of fun and I rarely miss it if it's on.
I think films made before 1990 don't get the attention here that they should. But it isn't anything I lose sleep over.

This says that it's better than The Prestige (2006) and The Departed (2006)
It is. Simple as that. It is also better than those massively overrated Nolan Bat flicks which have no right in any top ten, but that's another argument.
SPIRAL OUT!..KEEP GOING!

Watched it twice in theaters in the fall of 1995.
Bought the widescreen format VHS when it became available.
Bought the DVD when I was able to watch movies on DVD.

Voted on this movie, gave it a 9/10 at the first opportunity. Likewise, I gave The Departed an 8/10, but The Prestige got a 6/10. I could see that movie being well made/acted and all that sh!t, but I didn't really like it all that much.
It don't matter who you hear it from. It's the same story.

You compared this movie to saw. Stopjust stop

You may have stumbled upon the truth in that The Usual Suspects pre-dated the films you mentioned. The fact is that it had an impact on most of the 'twist' films that followed it, one way or another, and so deserves credit for that. And as for 'the mother of twists' (SAW), I hate to say it, but I knew
the body on the floor was going to be significant the moment it first appeared on the screen.
In addition, knowing the twist in SAW doesn't make any difference to watching the film a second time, whereas with TUS, you start picking up on all the things that didn't quite add up the first time.
