We seem to have the exact opposite taste in movies! That's kinda neat actually, it's happened several times on this thread. However my "all time favorite" list might be more compatible. I don't think I can put these in order, I like them all equally: The Unforgiven Goodfellas Apocalypse Now The Shining A Clockwork Orange The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Pulp Fiction Up there, but not quite in that class: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Snatch The Crow Fight Club Trainspotting | |

 I'm sorry but The Shining and Clockwork Orange above the LOTR series? Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. However, it might be that I'm also looking at the moral values from a different point of view compared to either the writer or producer of the story. That happens to be one of the reasons why I will not go to see the Passion, Mel said something during his interview about the movie that 100% completely revolted me with ever wanting to see the movie. | |

| Finally got a chance to go see "The Passion". I'm a VERY VERY VERY big LOTR fan, but I have to say, within the last year "The Passion" was the most important and impacting film I have seen (or ever seen).

In The Shining, there's a pretty broad implication that Jack Torrance isn't a very moral person to begin with but has never contemplated murder. The hotel just nudges him a little bit to push him over the edge. At first he is repulsed by the thought, but begins to accept it. A Clockwork Orange is even better in terms of examining morals. Essentially the question is - does one do good if one is forced to do it? The answer seems to be that you must CHOOSE good in order for it to be good! Very, very interesting, and true. LOTR is good but not on that level...the deeper meanings are out there for all to see. They lost a lot of Tolkien's subtlety. Did you mean Kubrick's moral values? I don't know much about his personal life except that his moviemaking was brilliant. I just found it interesting that you singled out the two movies that dealt the most with moral values. | |

A paragraph of CS Lewis is like a chapter of RJ Rushdoony. A sentence of CS Lewis is more than a whole book by Stephen King.  Then again, a chapter of RC Sproul is even more than a whole book by Stephen King.  Sorry, Fraoch. | |

RJ Rushdoony is the name. Reading his stuff might show how strong I'm into a certain Reformed theological belief and hence my attitude to Mel with the Passion. | |

   If you're referring to The Shining, the book and the movie are very, very different. Kubrick took it to a whole other plane of existence. (In fact, he attempted to turn it into a satire of the genre! He failed at making a satire but instead made a masterpiece. Such is the curse of genius I guess. ) Stephen King apparently HATED the movie, which makes me like it even more.Although King's early books are interesting (The Shining, The Dead Zone) most of his other stuff is pulp. | |
