I agree if you mean the real original...Seven Samurai. That's a top ten all time great.

Ah, one of the all-time great singles of the rock era. So mature, yet it was their first single. I envy those hearing this for the first time (and they're just kids in this video... kids!). One of Paul McCartney's favorite songs:

McCartney: "It's got to be "A Whiter Shade of Pale." The first time I ever heard it was the night I met Linda. We met at the Bag O' Nails, and we went on to the Speakeasy, and they played the record of it there. We were with Keith Moon of the Who and Eric Burdon of the Animals, and we were all trying to figure out who it was. We all thought it must be Stevie Winwood, but it turned out to be Procol Harum. We just said, 'This is the best song ever, man.'"

I really liked this intereview. The Fith Element is in my top ten list of all time great sci-fy movies . Mila was great as the supreme being.
@Deano, I wouldnt pity her for being in lesser movies, as this was such a good film , all later movies will probably be less significant, its a curse to be in such a good film.
I like what she has done with herself since this movie. Pucifer is in my IPOD..

Whatever laughter it was, however easy it is to make him laugh, my point was if you're a comedian and one of the all-time greats is appreciating you, you'd feel on top of the world.

Actually, I bet he's fairly easy to crack up... someone that funny's gotta be!>> ^Payback:

Although, I think it was more "been there" laughter...

Jesus this song is amazing. Sorry everyone, I know it's universally hated, but to me and my friends, who are all involved in the music business in some way or other, this is one of the all time greats. Seriously. How can you not like a song with the lyric (and which came from the album called) Knee Deep in the Hoopla!

I watched this for the first time in maybe 20 years not too long ago. I have to say it's one of the all time greats...and fuck English people, you sound EXACTLY LIKE Dick Van Dyke.

Can't wait to see it.>> ^Trancecoach:

Another one of the all-time-greats.
good thing there's a film being made about him in 2011.

Agreed, one of the all time great games. Don't know if I still have this somewhere or not... This makes me have to look for it though.

I think my favourite film of all time. Great sift.

I sometimes really think that muse are the best band for a long time - their messages, their style, and some of their songs are absolute balls to the walls epic all time greats.

"How can we win when fools can be kings?"

What a brilliant question in today's world.

#1 The Village, 17th century village living off I-95
#2 The Happening, plants create wind
#3 Signs, aliens invade planet comprised of 70% water, are allergic to water
$4 The Lady in the Water, never seen it, heard its AWFUL
#5 I'm sure one of his other films make a 5th

How about:

#6 Dead guy was like, all crazy for some old sled.

Even if we decide to judge movies by plot synopsis, which is stupid, I really prefer "17th century village living off I95" to "Boy has secret, waits too long to tell it to girl, girl gets mad, then they get back together after a montage of them being sad". Different isn't the only thing that's important, but at least it's something.

Again, I'm not saying M Night's movies are perfect, but on average they're better than at least 50% of movies that get released. I can only say one good thing about "The Happening": the scene where the people all jumped off the roof was kind of visually interesting and vaguely disturbing. It was a bad movie with wooden acting, bad pacing, etc.. But that one good thing is one more good thing than I can say about a lot (or even most) movies.

#3 Signs, aliens invade planet comprised of 70% water, are allergic to water

Yes... "Signs" wasn't realistic or consistent in how the global invasion or whatever played out. I don't think anyone will argue this. But it was entertaining, the character's reactions had a tinge of realism that's scarce in this kind of movie, and it had a few scenes I thought were really great - like the fuzzy "Mexican birthday party" video.

All time great? No. But the 3rd worst movie of all time? Even accounting for a truckload of hyperbole it isn't even close. I'd say it's better than 80% of movies that come out.

I can understand thinking M Night is overrated or egotistical or something... whatever.. but I still don't understand the hate. He's far from the worst director out there.

"One of the all-time great shows on television".
Upvote for that alone. I already loved Bill Maher. Now it's more of a quiet reverence.

One of the all time greats.
