Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

A long time ago, I barely remember it, but I do remember that I wasn't all that impressed by it.

 

I don't give a **** what Spielberg or Coppola would say.

I'm not making a list of most influential, I'm making a list of favorites, I love Kurosawa's films deeply, like I said I love everyone's films in my Top 40 or 50, but gun to my head if I had to be stranded on a desert island watching one director's films ad infinitum, I'd easily pick Spielberg's and Coppola's over Kurosawa's. And you would too.

Tarantino is a derivative director, and he admits that, something 99% of the rest of director's are unwilling to admit. But guess what, his films are all solid as a rock, and stand on their own two legs, with his collage like style stamped all over them. No matter how derivative he may be, Tarantino has his stylistic trademark, you know within seconds when your watching a Quentin flms, and that alone proves he's got his own unique vision. Saying he has no unique vision is like saying Romero who was influenced by Bergman, or Carpenter who was influenced by Hawks both lacked a unique vision, no one and I mean no one who's made movies over the last 50 years hasn't been slightly influenced by all that came before them.

So judging Quentin on the most important criteria of all..... "Are his movies great and fun to watch?" Yeah, every ****ing one of them. And that ultimately is the only thing that matters, and should matter.

 

What are you laughing about? Which Kurosawa films are you absolutely madly in love with, which can you NOT do without? I'm calling you out here. You're trying to be an elitist. Well back that **** up!

 

Not really, Fargo is one of the most overrated movie of the modern era alongside Trainspotting and Memento. Of the Coen brothers films, I did enjoy O Brother Where Are Thou?, True Grit, Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski, but I thought No Country For Old Men was incredibly overrated, and the rest of their films are hit and miss.

 

Bull****. Kurosawa's films are brilliant I have him in 20th place, like I said, I had a hard time splitting the top 40, but if speaking sheer enjoyment and rewatchability, there's no contest. Yojimbo, Dreams, Ran, Kagemusha, Dersu Uzala, Hidden Fortress, Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne Of Blood and obviously Seven Samurai are wonderful films, everyone of them, but like I said earlier, you'd commit suicide if forced to only watch his films ad infinitum.

You loved Quentin when you were younger, until like with Cameron it became uncool to like him, so you abandon him, so trendy.
