How old are you?

>Boyhood and Civil War

I would be embarrassed.

Old enough to recognise good cinema when I see it.

I know everything about movies, no seriously.

Did you like the use of that Soulja Boy track in Boyhood?
True cinema right

The only five star movie on this list in Citizen Kane.

'Boyhood' is a modern day epic. Not in terms of thousands of extras or elaborate set pieces. Instead it was filmed across a 12 year period. Something just completely unheard of, especially these days. It was a huge chance taken by Richard Linklater, but it has most definitely come off.

Telling the story of Mason Evans and his family, we start with Mason at 6 years old and follow his childhood. His relationship with his mother, his sister, various stepfathers, his actual father, school friends. We watch as these grow or deteriorate, as new people come into their lives and people fall away. This is no way feels like you're watching a movie or a story. Instead it feels completely real. Like you're watching someone's life in a way you never have before. It truly is an experience.

The performances by the cast are outstanding on all fronts. Ellar Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater grant us the privilege of actually letting us watch them grow up on screen. In this way when you watch the movie the second time it is so very different because you can see them as children knowing what they will grow up to become. Unlike other films where a different actor will play a character as a child and you know that, this time you actually do watch them grow up. It really is something.

Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke put in Oscar nominee worthy performances as their parents. Hawke in particular would be a strong contender to win had he not been unfortunate enough to come up against JK Simmons in 'Whiplash'. But these are magnificent performances, and their characters change and develop just as much as their children. In some ways you expect, and some ways you don't.

'Boyhood' is a film that must be seen by all film lovers. In an age of greenscreen and CGI and franchises, a film that you can really connect with the whole way is rare these days. This does all that in ways you may not have seen for a long time. This will stand the test of time. This is an all time great.

Not bad at all, but might I suggest 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'. Old films are the best films. Death to greenscreen.

Also. Errol Flynn. Damn son.

Give her the straff

>Civil War

I really like Titanic too.

The accents are complete shit and not all the performances are great but I love all the set pieces and how painstakingly every thing was reconstructed.

Every time I start to watch it I get sucked ALL the way in and finish it.

I do disagree with Civil War being perfect and Logan being 41/2 stars. Haven't seen Boyhood or The Wizard of Oz.

Not a huge fan of the Godfather films, I think Apocalypse Now and The Conversation are both better, but I understand the placement.

And everything else on the list is great.

Overall, thumbs up.
