IRON GIANT

OK, time to go to bed and sober up.

Isn't Vin Diesel in this?

Yup, does the voice.

SUPER FUCKING WICKED AWESOME

OTM!!!

One of the best films ever!

Sadly I had to pick I HAVE'NT SEEN THIS, AND IN THIS WAY I HAVE WASTED MY LIFE. And I suspect this is true.

I like the Ted Hughes book tho.

Great.

I wd marry the beatnik.

I like the Ted Hughes book tho.

It bears little relation, aside from the fact that they're both really really good.

this is the only thing jennifer aniston has ever been in that has been good. actually i will say the same thing about vin diesel as well.

Pitch Black is watchable. IG towers over it, obviously.

I'll vote for anything with Vin Diesel in it, duh. Pitch Black RULEZ.

this movie makes me cry every time.

Pitch Black may very well be good, but Chronicles of Riddick was the dumbest damn thing I've ever seen. My date got mad at me for laughing during it.

it is wicked sad

I finally saw this a month or so ago. Pretty great - but it made me cry. I also enjoyed my daughter's summary of it before I watched: "First the robot is BAD, then he's GOOD, then he's BAD, then he's GOOD!!!"

Your daughter is learning a lot about robots. This should be classified as an educational film.

guys I never saw this ;_;

O_O

WAHT

BAD DAN IS V BAD

ok so now you have a third movie you have to watch asap, this movie is so amazing

guess which one I picked :D

When I saw it in the cinema, a kid behind me went "is da iron giant going to be alright?" at that bit near the end, and it just about broke my heart.

john im confused: all the wicked awesomes in yr poll would imply formative years in eastern new england. but the super fucking part just doesnt jibe. what the deal?

I'm a man of the world.

plus i know u from hastingz

HSTNGS R COSMOPOLITAN.

DO YOU SEE?

(also, photo of rarely seen recluse gbx on upper right quadrant)

this movie has one of the best payoff feelgood endings ever

I doubt any other movie I've ever seen moves me as much as this one, and I'm pretty sure I truly mean that, this is not typical ilx omg hyperbole.

this is the only thing jennifer aniston has ever been in that has been good. actually i will say the same thing about vin diesel as well.

Very much OTM!

Nickalicious, what is this coffee?

Also tha HARRY CHRONICS JR. who is indeed supremely marriageable as le hottiest, nicest to kids beatnik art dude of all time.

The decor in his pad is k-hilarious, a big poster that says KEROUAC and a record labeled Jazz Record.

Office Space is good!

oh i always forget she's in that movie

the two leads in that movie are such horrible douches but yet it is still a pretty good movie

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

One of my best friends in Boston sang with Ron Livingston as an undergrad. Apparently he is a "wonderful baritone".

only wicked awesome :(

but the bit where he becomes a gun was like some sort of MASSIVE PARADIGM SHIFT in kids' movies, in the manner of General Woundwort's Watership Down appearance.

BRITISHER, YOU DON'T KNOW SUPER FUCKING WICKED AWESOME FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

me and ron l. should start a "wonderful baritone" club

quotes required

I recently introduced my young neice to this, she now loves "Iron Jion".
So do I, but I think I prefer The Incredibles.

SUPER FUCKING WICKED AWESOME

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

WELL DONE, MOST OF YOU.

who is the person who hates wicked awesome things

I have no love for the person who hates wicked awesome things :(

5 people display a good sense of self awareness. Get thee to a DVD rental shop stat!

I am sad I missed this thread first time around. Where is the BEST MOVIE EVAR NO SRSLY ALL OF CINEMA WAS LEADING TO THIS option?

guys i still haven't seen this :-/

God and all of all the super wicked awesome people pity you.

Oh dear...

i watched this for the first time & coincidentally had something in my eye *snivel* it was super fucking wicked awesome

rewatched, holds up nicely. what animated '90s film can touch it?

(no anime plz)

By "anime" do you mean Miyazaki? Because I'd put Totoro at least in the Iron Giant's class.

But also, I picked up a used copy of IG for 5 bucks the other week and my kids watched it about 6 times in a row. So yeah, it holds up even for post-millennial babies.

Iron Giant is so good. I've got a pretty big movie collection, so neighbors are always borrowing stuff from me. One day, my neighbor Kevin asked me for a family movie night recommendation, so I suggested E.T., which is old enough at this point that a lot of kids haven't seen it. He told me his wife hates E.T. (because it makes her cry). So I gave him The Iron Giant instead and just told him not to tell his wife it's basically E.T..

i first fell in love with it bc of the yearly marathon CN would do (i'm sure i'm not alone in that). for some reason it's weirdly easy to spend an entire day watching it on repeat.

Totoro was an 80s film.
