How good is your taste in movies?
 

Compared to the average viewer, how good do you think your taste in movies is? 1=horrible - 10=impeccable

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

This is OOT, dude. Tens all around.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

if by "have good taste" you mean get really annoyed when the dialogue doesn't ring true or there is bad cinematography, acting, or plot, then I give myself about an 8 or 9.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

"Compared to the average viewer"

we're all 8 and above

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I put me down as a 9. Compared to the average "Da Vinci code was so cool" clown out there I'm way ahead, but there is certainly a small percentage of bigger movie fanatics than me. Comparing myself to OOTers I'd put myself down as an 8, there's a fairly large amounts of serious movie freaks around here.

I'm a snob and getting snobbier, but I watch porn so I gave myself an 8.

I'm snobby about my porn though.

Come on, could I be anything BUT a 10?

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

it's funny how in all these questions (how smart are you, etc), nearly everyone considers themselves above average.

zeebo,

Do you have any idea how dumb the average person is?

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I have impeccable taste in movies. 11 out of 10. Seriously.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

Compared to the average person my age I'm probably a 5, but the average movie goer is an 8th grade girl so that has to put me up to at least an 8.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

Compared to the average person I am an 8. However, compared to OOT I'm probably around a 4.

So far there are two respondents that I would give scores of ten; DieBitter and WillMagic. If anyone else is curious what my opinion of their movie taste is I will offer my services starting now.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?

my top 3:
Cruel Intentions
Resident Evil
Final Destination

i voted myself a 2, maybe too harsh

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

Blue: based on the three movies you list a 2 seems pretty appropriate.

I'd say I have good but not excellent taste. Some of my favorites:

The Princess Bride, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, There's Something About Mary, Seven Samurai, Fargo, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lost in Translation, Do the Right Thing, Memento, Dr. Strangelove, Magnolia, This is Spinal Tap, Kill Bill, etc.

(EDIT: Forgot Shawshank. I can watch it over and over.

And Bloodsport.)

I like some old, foreign and obscure stuff, but I haven't really seen a ton of it. I voted myself an 8: better taste than the average person but not as good as the film buffs around here.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I gave myself a 9. I'm arrogant enough to make it so that I'm in a very top percentage, but not the highest percentage

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I'm actually a pretty easy audience, I won't really hate something unless it's truly bad and I won't love it unless it does something for me. I can appreciate a good artsy fartsy film and I can recognize most cinematic flaws, but I put more emphasis on whether a movie connects with me personally and keeps me interested/entertained than on it's qualities as a film.

My 3 favorite movies of the past five years are Sin City, Troy, and Big Fish. All time I'd go with American Beauty, Shawshank, and the Last of the Mohicans.

I'd say that everyone's taste is perfect for them, but my best friend has seen Steel 5 times and Garfield 4, by choice, so I can't really be completely pluralist about this.

My favorite movies are Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, and Schindler's List. How do I rank?

Re: How good is your taste in movies?

An 8 means you liked "Kazaam." A 10 means you loved it.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I gave my taste in movies a 10. Why would a care what other people think of movies when I am rating the ones I like the most?

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

"WTF is the difference in a 10 and an 8?"

An 8 is obviously somewhere between horrible and impeccable. learn to [censored] read.

Oddly enough, the resulting graph also displays the number of chicks slept with by OOTers in the past week.

Re: How good is your taste in movies?
 

I gave myself a '1', mostly because I like just about everything ... provided I can eat popcorn during it.
