I usually hate musicals but Blues Brothers is undeniably awesome.

Reply to comment by MovieMike007 in What are the best scenes from movies, without any dialogue? by hoginlly
The first half of the movie has no dialog. That was such a gutsy thing to do for a kids movie. Best Pixar movie IMO.

Reply to In your opinion, which is better? The original Star Wars Trilogy, or Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy? by Absuridity_Octogon
For me Star Wars and it isn't even close. Star Wars is more enjoyable and you can't exaggerate how big of a leap forward it was for special effects. I was only three when New Hope came out so I don't think I saw it in the theater but I remember seeing Empire Strikes back in the movie theater. The scene with with the AT-AT's walkers on Hoth blew my mind. I'd never seen anything so cool in my life. I wish Disney plus would bring back the original films without the late 90's CGI addons. Last time I watched the movies I was struck by how the only scenes that felt dated were the ones with CGI. I think the lack of CGI is what will make the movie timeless where as LOTR is already starting to look dated.
I also not a fan of the pacing or the editing of the LOTR movies. To many scenes of Orcs running. Also feel there is to much reliance on CGI. I remember going to a party after watching Fellowship of the Rings in the theater and saying I thought it was OK. I was practically attacked. It was like I was at a Radiohead fan club meeting and said OK Computer was overrated (which it isn't Radiohead fans don't attack me). Anyway at that moment I realized my opinion was clearly in the minority and I might be full of it. For whatever reason those movies just didn't connect with me the way Star Wars did.

Reply to What is your favorite Adam Sandler comedy from the 90s, and why? by AndyKaufmanSentMe
For me it is Happy Gilmore with The Wedding singer a close second. A steep drop off after that. Not that the other movies are bad. There just no where near the level of my top two.
