I believe the Star Wars movies are all dubbed for technical reasons. You don't want the real sound Artoo makes anyway. Normally I don't like it when dialogue is dubbed. ----------------- Alex Cremers

Yeah, but nobody saw it. It was a major flop. And like Blade Runner it used a city as a character. The steam and lighting plus the voice-over is also very Blade Runner. It borrowed too much from Blade Runner's "sci-fi/film noir" concept. ---------------- Alex Cremers

That's easy. The soundtrack, of course, since John is personally handing over the price. That's an experience that will last much longer than 1000 bucks. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Get 'm boys, take no prisoners! ----------------- Alex Cremers

Okay, the list has its flaws. But I've seen The Matrix three times now and still enjoyed it very much, unlike most movies which I can't bear watching more than 2 times. And, what's important, it probably IS a classic. It has raised the bar and, like classics tend to do, it sets new standards of excellence. New standards that will and are already copied by many, many others. Sorry for "the others" but The Matrix was first. It's doing just what Star Wars did back in 1977. Everything else was trying to do Star Wars. The same is happening now. Too bad the Wachowski brothers are messing it up. I thought others were going to do that for them. Lucas also messed up his own creation. History repeats itself. All will become parody. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Damn, Melange, you just lost your title as a true connaisseur. I can understand your mistake, though. It's Saturn 3 with Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, Harvey Keitel, not Silent Running. ----------------- Alex Cremers

If you are almost alone to think BR, Alien are so shamelessly overrated, then why is the list rediculous? Don't answer that, I will answer it for you. You think every list that doesn't match yours is rediculous. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Star Wars (the one and only, if you care about sound.) E.T. Superman The Movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind The Towering Inferno ----------------- Alex Cremers

E.T.

Damn, Melange, you're a true connaisseur! The beach bal scene is indeed a forerunner of what is to become Alien. The scene is brilliant. It displays the power of good cinema like I haven't seen anywhere else yet. ----------------- Alex Cremers

Ahum, ahum! ---------------- Alex Cremers

Hey, I've posted this before Andreas' accident but it was gone. Here it is again. Like I said, this poll makes a lot more sense then the results of those awful massive radio polls. Not that it's perfect, of course. http://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/or...50563193280.xml Wow, look at my number of posts. (edit: 666)

Haha, it was late. I forgot to name its title. Okay, guess the movie!!! No, don't guess, it was Pitch Black.

On paper this should've been a bad movie indeed, but it turned out to be a enjoyable pop corn movie after all. ---------------- Alex Cremers

John Williams really loves trees.

I'm not a fantasy fan. I kinda liked the first one even though it was merely marching from one battlefield to another. In the second one the pacing was all wrong and character development became suddenly non-existing. The magic that now and then surfaced in the first movie was already lost. Pete! Pete! Pete! How did you managed to do that? (Even George maintained or exceeded the magic in his second Star Wars film. Is he a wunderkind after all?) I'm no Potter fan either, who could be after the age of ten? And the Matrix series also stranded immensely with their number two. I think the signs are clear. May a new Wonderkind arise swiftly from the boredom that is manifesting in Hollywood but now also New Zealand. ----------------- Alex Cremers

But if K.M. has no plans for changing his entire legit CD collection into CDRs then it's okay. ----------------- Alex Cremers

I really can't make out, it's a dubious statement. Especially this part:

Stefancos is right. Mark, listen to yourself, if everybody thinks like you then recording artists have no more future. Is that what you want, King? ---------------- Alex Cremers

Listen to what my crystal ball told me. In ten years Lucas will reveal the Luke isn't the one bringing balance to the force after all. And the audience will go: "OH MY GOD!" Danny Elfman will be candidate to score all three films Eventually, the honor will go to Hans Zimmer. Who will say: "You need a real composer for this one, Mr McCallum. McCallum will reply with: "I know, Hans, but all the good composers are dead. Midichlorians will give birth to an entity more powerful than even the emperor could've had imagined ---------------- Alex Cremers PS. Somebody else with a crystal ball here, please feel free.

Can't you just let them bid? ----------------- Alex Cremers

Boy, I don't know which story is the saddest, yours or mine. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Rogue Leader wrote: Aah yes, those awful Ewoks, now THEY are almost on the same level as that legendary Chewbacca TV-special. Almost, but not completely there. Lucas invented the Ewoks to charm the children or the very young. He did it out of greed, greed for building...power. He wanted a share of the kids market and that's were he went wrong. No doubt, strategically, it's a smart move but from a artistic point of view, Lucas was digging his own grave. He should've saved them up for the Ewoks films exclusively. Even that was destined to become a failure. They are boring and immeasurable fake-looking. Kids didn't want them. They wanted Vader! No kid wants to be Jar Jar. They are more fascinated with those knights swinging their lightsabers or bountyhunters with their hi-tech toys. They want a world that looks cool and dangerous. Watching a kindergarden on screen is not what makes them tick. Here's a reason why Lucas went...Lucas. Lucas needed funds for his own private empire. His independency was more important to him than anything. No Hollywood executive was gonna tell him what to do. He was going to outsmart them all. Merchandizing puppets and bears was THE way to Lucasland, POWER, FREEDOM. Nobody controlling him and he being in control of everything and everybody. Suddenly, in the middle of the process, Lucas lost what he once was. Lucas was no longer a movie maker. ----------------- Alex Cremers

When exactly did Lucas go...Lucas? In the beginning he makes good movies and then suddenly, BOOMMM, ...gone Lucas, just like that. When and how and why did that happen? ---------------- Alex Cremers

How much work can it be?
