I said this in my review, but I'll say it again here for posterity's sake.

State of Grace is better than Goodfellas. And City of God is better than State of Grace. And that is the modern gangster movie order. The Departed is in there before Goodfellas somewhere.

Before as in better than Goodfellas, or worse?

Better than.

The Departed is in there before Goodfellas somewhere.

So then where does the superior original, Infernal Affairs fit in?

It doesn't. Only movies in English count.

I've never seen Goodfellas, but I really like The Departed. I really like Infernal Affairs too. I own both on DVD.

Jurassic Park 3 > Jurassic Park 2.

Neither spectacular nor that unpopular but as long as it revives this thread...
I'll take it a step further:

Jurassic Park 2 > Jurassic Park

I always thought Jurassic Park was always a tad bit on the slow side and those damn kids were freakin' annoying. It's also kinda got this sappy thing going on with the kids that just makes me cringe at parts. 2 is a faster paced, slicker film that only has on kid that isn't annoying. Plus it has some really interesting supporting characters throughout. The hunter in particular is a favorite.

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but it's from a scene from a very unpopular film:  Rush Hour 3

As much as I hated that film, I really, really, really did enjoy Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan singing "The Closer I Get To You".  Jackie can sing.

Oh my gosh, thank god there was someone else who liked that scene. Jackie's singing is adorable!  :D

I think schindlers list is overrated. And satr wars. And i despise mean girls.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

My boyfriend would be sad that you dislike Satr Wars.

Star Wars I'm less a fan of, although I would defend in for its use of special effects. Very impressive in 1977, in addition to the fact that it spawned a few Lucas companies that specialize in effects today.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.
