Kung Fu Hustle seems rather out of place on that list.

If you haven't seen it, check out Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. It was directed by Chow.

I approve of your approval.

I love how Alien has two meanings in the movie, it's also about segregation folks. In case you didn't get it.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

Yeah. That's why it's one of my favorite movies.

The man from Earth is the biggest disappointment you'll ever watch. $400 budget, 90min of one man who cant stfu. Christians, downvote away!

You may not have understood the movie

If you had watched the movie, you would probably know that Christians might UPVOTE your comment, not downvote :P

So you can literally throw any random amount of movies onto a list and get front page?

The Man From Earth is truly amazing. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

The image above isn't from that movie though. Is it? I have watched it multiple times but don't remember this scene...

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I just reversed image searched it and I don't think it appears in the movie. I believe that it's just a photo of the cast post-filming.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's also a play, so it is probably a shot of the cast from that rather than the movie.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Amazing how interesting it gets considering its just 7 or 8 people in a room. than again 12 angry men....

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

The movie is so much better though if you leave out the ending reveal... so much better...

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

*Spoilers* I thought it was a double plot twist where he just didn't want to admit that it was all true due to the negative feedback.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Help me understand why so many people think it's great. I think it's the worst movie I've ever seen.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Agreed. It feels like it tries so hard to be smart and philosophical but hearing about all of the historical people he was felt so fake.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I didn't really get it either.

The man from Earth is the biggest disappointment you will ever watch. $400 budgeted 90mins of one man who can't stfu.

The budget was 200 grand

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Well none of that surely went into the film! What a joke!

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 11

You do realize that the budget includes wages, rental locations, equipment, etc.. Just because you don't understand where the money goes 1/

I had the pleasure of working with David Lee Smith on a film I wrote with some friends. He was phenomenal.

Oh really? That's pretty cool. I'm always glad when actors I like are actually cool in real life, not just in film.

Yea it was swanky, film was called Crimson Winter, vampire film some friends and I filmed in Montana. David was super fun to hang out with.

What do christians have to do with him finding the movie boring?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Love that it was shot mostly in one room. Kind of like Glengarry Glen Ross, relied on exceptional performances from the actors.

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 3

Exceptional performances? Did we watch the same movie? The acting was absolutely AWFUL.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Guess not :) exceptional might have overstated but we'll agree to disagree of you really thought it was awful
