So I can infer that you enjoy watching people shoot each other?

If you'd like.  I've seen a number of westerns with not one drop of blood visible.

Quote:
Take I Spit on Your Grave for example. I really like this film yet it has an incredibly difficult scene (rape) to watch. The violent revenge IS entertaining but the film plays with your emotions.

It's difficult to watch, but you really like it?    Whatever...

So pretend violence is okay? Oh, wait...

The sad part is you see no difference between a bloodless gunfight from a '30s western and the graphic violence from todays "horror" genre.

Quote:
a statement insinuating that there is something wrong morally with people who enjoy the horror genre (among other genres) is about as ignorant as you can get.

I was talking specifically about people who enjoy watching scenes depicting extremely graphic violence, and I don't think I mentioned morals.

But I obviously hit a raw nerve and so I guess it's time to end this discussion.

That's usually a good idea when you make a blanket insinuation that's pretty retarded.

Raw indeed.

Relax and have a nice day.

After all, I don't imagine that there are very many people in the entire world who are conversant enough in all of those languages to be able to do a very adequate job of it, and I can't imagine reading subtitles for thousands of foreign films would be anyone's first choice.

In my collection, I have 80 % of my movies which are not French, with some from Russia, Denmark, Netherlands, Korea, Mexico, not speaking of  other bigger countries for movies. I have no problem to see them, with or without dubbing, and can rate as easily "Män Som Hatar Kvinnor" than "Wo hu cang long" or "True Grit". The problem I have with that list is not that it has not movies from all countries (there are probably many excellent movies I never saw...), but that there are strictly none outside English language.

Awwww, poor baby, always looking to be offended and insulted. Yves, did you bother to read the letter on his website, he explains why chose to keep it to English Language films.

Skip

Well, I didn't interpret Surfeur's comments as being offended or insulted. And I do understand his position. If someone really loves film it would seem strange to me to limit a best-of list in such a way that it eliminates the likes of Kurosawa, Fellini and Bergman. It would seem (to me, at least) more logical to make some other limitations if international films would make the selection too big to handle.

That said, I accept his decision and I'm awed that anyone would have the tenacity to make a list that long.

Of course, I saw that, and that is the point that is the more laughable. To choose to make a list of movies only in English shows how the author's mind is opened. His list appears to be the longest of the most trifling of all.

So, because it doesn't meet your standards, the list is not worth considering?  Wow...just...wow.

Have you even seen, say, any of the Saw films, or films similar to it?

No.  I've read synopses of some (and similar films) and have concluded that I'm not interested, but I don't see any need for you to get offended that I don't share your fascination with the macabre.

---------------

I don't find the fact you're not interested offensive but the fact that you judge people on liking movies you haven't actually seen. 

Agreed...especially when he owns films like Jurassic Park, which contains more violence and suffering than Saw does. 

Yeah but the argument don't apply to lawyers being eaten alive 

Also i think hal is big on jeus and well you know these ppl just want everyone to live by there rules and don't respect freedom of choice.
