Hell yes.

And no, they weren't anywhere near as good as the books, but they were a better adaptation than I ever thought someone could possibly do in 9 hours.

I thought that the Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me movies were better than the book. Of course that's cheating because they were from novellas and didn't have to cram near as much content into the standard length.

Hey, I also said Citizen Kane wasn't one of my favorites either, aren't you going to compliment me for my lack of pretensions?

I figured you would be too busy reading translated books to augment your pseudo-intellectual material for other discussions to bother further with such a pedestrian topic such as film.

As a movie meant to entertain, it's also not one of my favorites. To deny the fact that it was an amazing technical achievement for its day, and brought much new life to the medium as a whole, is just ignorant.

Ignorance is bliss. Celebrate it while you can, for only the fortunate among us are able to preserve it for a lifetime.

Army of Darkness is good but not the best. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail is better. So many great lines in that movie.

Princess Mononoke is a very, very good movie that I personally like.
Shawshank Redemption is amazing.
Gotta like Citizen Kane.

And sadly, I haven't watched enough 1337 movies to list others...
