Sorry for the delay in creation, my iPad was not cooperating with the formatting today. I'll go back to the laptop next time.

Out of these movies, the only one I've seen is the Harry Potter one but I wasn't very interested in seeing it anyway. It was either part 1 or 2 that was completely black except for one scene.

Out of the choices though, the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang one looks the most interesting. Has anyone seen it? And what did you think of it?

 

[regawdless]

My love for strong female leads is well documented, so my vote goes to Kill Bill.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 if only for the soundtrack.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Life of Brian has so many great and memorable scenes, but watching it again recently it also has some slower and less interesting sections. I'm voting Kill Bill for now but I might change my mind. Haven't seen the others but I heard good stuff about Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

 

[Ascend]

I didn't like Kill Bill at first. It actually took me becoming a parent and maturing a bit to appreciate the movie. It is now one of my favorite movies. So that gets my vote.

 

[GreyHorace]

Voted for Life of Brian. Quite possibly the funniest film ever made and the Monty Python troupe's magnum opus. Every one of the movie's gags is memorable, such as the improptu Latin grammar lesson.



Only seen Kill Bill Vol.1 and The Deathly Hallows part 2 among the rest. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is okay but way overrated for me among Tarantino's films. I much prefer Vol. 2 with it's more emotionally charged story plus Gordon Liu's fantastic turn as Pai Mei.



The Deathly Hallows part 2 is above average as a Harry Potter film but I didn't think they needed two films to end the final chapter. Though seeing cast bid their final farewells in that epilogue was moving in a way.



EDIT: Should include that TDP part 2 has the late great Alan Rickman's final turn as Severus Snape. And he gives a moving performance that really adds layers to the character beyond the typical nasty professor we know him as.

I don't know what to vote here.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang had some fun banter I think but it's been ages since I watched it.

I dislike Kill Bill more and more on every rewatch even though I enjoyed it back in the day. Worst Tarantino film.

Harry Potter is godawful.

 

[HE1NZ]

Zombie movies has more color than this.

Zombie movies has more color than this.

I think after the 4th movie they just decided to go darker and darker until there was no colour anymore. I can't believe they released movies like that and that people actually enjoyed watching it. If it was black and white, at least it would be clearer.

 

[Arkam]

Life of Brian is too funny. So may lines are quotably witty. It gets my vote for sure.


Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is good fun too. But It definitely looses a bit upon repeating viewing. But the banter between Kilmer and Downey is fantastic.

Kill Bill has its moments for sure. As a package it is B tier for me. Feels very choppy and inconsistent. But some of the scenes and plot elements are excellent.

The last HP film? Really? Who voted for that dehydrated turd? All the HP films after Goblet of Fire are super meh, with Deathly Hallows 1&2 being the worst.

Didnt see the other two films.

 

[HariSeldon]

Life Of Brian is quite simply the funniest film ever made. In an era where comedy no longer exists, I appreciate that more than ever.

 

[Mickmrly]

Life of Brian wins this round. Also welcome back @HariSeldon , it's good to see you again.
