Movies that were ahead of there time.

the Matrix

 

you _are_ joking, right?

 

No joke there. Matrix is one of the best movies in the last 10 years. Way ahead of its time. IMO

[kevbone]

Bone, you're lovably full of shit on this one. Red Dawn came out in 84. Taxi Driver, which made Red Dawn look like the Muppet Show, came out 8 years before it. Sheeit, even Road Warrior came out 3 years prior. And the God Father in 72? The horse head scene? The list is endless.

 

In any case, it was Sam Peckinpah's westerns that first started spraying blood all over the camera lens, starting the year Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

 

Red Dawn

 

Red Dawn was the first movie to be released with a Motion Picture Association of America PG-13 rating.[1] At one time, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records and The National Coalition on Television Violence, with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute.[2]

 

That's an assinine measure of violence. Level of violence is measured by the explicit nature of the scenes in the film and their emotional impact, not some dumbfuck number of times per hour somebody gets beaned on the head with a wiffle bat. Shit, Tom and Jerry has more acts of violence than Red Dawn, by that measure. It's a C grade kid's film. Of course, you read it on the web, so it must be so.

 

Watch the final scene in Taxi Driver, which was made by a real director, with real actors, and tell me which movie leaves a more lasting impression.

 

 

I agree with you. I was just quoting what wiki was stating. I grew up with red dawn.....

 

 

I do love the road warrior.

I think when Kirk Douglas said "Bury me deep" he fucked up his line by substituting "me" for "it".

[tvashtarkatena]

OMG, who could forget "2001"? It accurately predicted so many things, like how fucking boring the future would be.

"Don't be a Menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood" was a spoof on all the "growing up in the hood" movies and a precursor to every Scary/Epic/Date movie that makes fun of successful movies

[pink]

i'd say star wars is up there.

Star Wars accurately predicted how full of big budget no plot animated movies the future would be.

Omega Man!

What would be great would be to remake Tron by adding the MS Clippy as a sidekick.

i heard clippy is mean with a disc

[tvashtarkatena]

I guess we'd have to shoehorn in some zombies, then. The budget's starting to bloat, but I'll bet we could get FW to play the part for some wall butteflies and a pair of retreads.
