The All-Movie Channel is doing a tribute to Jack Nicholson this month, and today they played One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. I'd never seen it before. What a great movie.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is as important to watch for film fans as reading Watchmen is to comic fans.
Just sayin'.
No it's not. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is as important to watch for film fans as reading action comics 1# (even if it's a reprint) for comic fans.

That's a horrible analogy.
So was yours and yes i got your point.
Wait are you saying action comics 1# is less important that Watchmen ?

No.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is analagous to Watchmen due to quality, not importance.
Action Comics 1 would be more analagous to Birth Of A Nation or something.
:roll: Whatever dude.
The fact is that was your watchmen comment was a dig at me (again) and I just pointed out right then and there are more important comics than it. E.g Action comics 1# could possibly be THE most important comic ever.
and I'm done with as there is no point arguing over comics in this thread. Even more so considering that movie we both agreed was fantastic.

Let me draw you a map (I'm not good at drawing maps):
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest = film
Watchmen = comic
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest = among the greatest films of all time
Watchmen = among the greatest comics of all time
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest = if you're a movie buff, then this better be on your top ten films
Watchmen = if you're a comic book fan, then this better be on your top ten comics
Thus, OFOTCN is to movie buffs as Watchmen is to comic book fans.
I think there may have been an easier way of explaining that.
I noticed the OFOTCN marathon the other day.

Hey new guy let it go. I just said
I got his point , I made my own as well.
Oh and neither are in my top ten. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is 14th (It's 28 on your list so it's not in your top ten either) and Watchmmen I don't want to read.
ok is that clear for you?

I counted 'em up and it turns out I've seen 42 of the Top 100 films on IMDb but only 30 of the new AFI Top 100.
Then again, I don't think I said "yeah, but this film was pretty much crap" once, let alone 3 times, when reading the AFI list, which is more than I can say about the IMDb one.

I would be interested in what you thought of our lists.

Action Comics is an extremely important comic, but not a very good comic. But lets not get back into that.
I want to rework my list a little...
Out of the IMDB top 250 i've seen 103... but only 36 of the AFI Movies... But I'm working on watching the rest of the 100 Films with my friends... (we watch too many movies)

Star wars going higher up?

Just went through the entire Top 250 and I've seen 94 of them. I'd so love to set something up with my friends where we have a movie night every week and watch dozens more, but they're always busy. I need more movie buff friends.

Imdb - 113, Afi - 45

He Sees You When You're Sleeping. He Knows When Yo
Luckily my best friend, The sometimes not a lurker, but usually a lurker, Shade, has virtually the same taste in movies as I do, and we watch a lot of stuff together.

He Sees You When You're Sleeping. He Knows When Yo
I've seen all of those save Amadeus, Being There, Dog Day Afternoon, and the Shawshank Redemption (I want to read the book before I see the movie), but let me just tell you that Lost Boys is horrendously overrated... It isn't a fun bad movie... It isn't a fun vampire movie... its not even a remotely good movie... It was the biggest disapointment I've had in movies i've watched in the last year.
Otherwise that's a fantastic list of movies. I hope you enjoy them.
