Star Wars (All 6 of them, definitely classics.)
The Lord of the Rings (All 3, though TTT was changed too much)
Indiana Jones (1 & 3, 2 was a little lame in parts; haven't see 4 yet)
Pirates of the Caribbean (All 3, though the 2nd was a bit slow)
Patton (Greatest war movie ever)
The Battle of Britain (Second greatest war movie)
Tora, Tora, Tora! (Pure WW2 awesomeness)
Iron Man (Great movie, though I didn't like the anti-war propaganda)
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (Great movie.)
The Matrix (Only the 1st, kind of weird, but awesome once you figure out what's happening.)
The Mummy (Awesome movie. Good mix of story, action, and horror.)

You all liked Iron Man? Interesting, I thought it was quite slow and boring.

Don't see the 4th, it's a mess of a movie. It shouldn't have been made imo.

Kingdom of Heaven was good because it was surprisingly historically accurate, had a great score, had a great cast who performed very well, a great director, and overall a very well made and entertaining film.



Really? I mean, I haven't seen it, but from what I had read about it (which was written, BTW, mostly by various historians....) it wasn't historically accurate at all.
I've heard both. It's not 100% accurate (what movie is?) but it's truer to the tale than most.

not really, they completely reversed the girl's character from real life to the movie. and the only reason for it was so that she could have sex with orlando bloom. lame.

Allthough I liked the scene where Liam Neeson hits Orlando -somehow that can't be done enough- the whole story was totally unbelieveble. 1 guy saves the day, not an ordinary guy...well actually the most ordinary of all. That is cool, when you have a superhero movie, not when you try to make an historic and epic movie....I guess

Especially as he defeats Saladin, one of the greatest leaders of the Islamic armies during the Crusades... ludicrous!

I have to say, that the whole story is very complicated in history. A lot of contigents appear and dissappear. Besides the great crusades, their were a great number of other wars during 2 centuries. Even the first one can be divided in three main parts - so, which history would you like to hear? Do not forget that all decisions are influenced by each other. You can hardly decide to show just a little part of this topic.

People get involved in more fates, then a movie can show in such a short time. I think the movie shows some problems and some facts. The remaining part is movie additional.

Indiana Jones (1 & 3, 2 was a little lame in parts; haven't see 4 yet)

Don't see the 4th, it's a mess of a movie. It shouldn't have been made imo.

I think people have kind of overeacted in their criticism of Indy 4. Although I wasn't all that keen on the ending I found the rest of it to be good old traditional Indy fare. I thought it was really entertaining. People have gone over the top in how bad they say it is.

well in one and 3 we have angelic forces and such, invisible bridges, in the second one we have demonic forces, so alien forces seemed to be the logical next step.

I found the movie to be corny and unbelievable. The others had some feeling of realism to them, this just felt...rushed and badly done. The only character I liked was Indy and his son, the rest were just too plastic, even Cate blanchett.
