If that's what you wanna go with for your choice I'm not gonna give you shit about it. Remember, from 1992 right up until I went into the theatre to see Kill Bill my favorite movie was Army of Darkness, lol. And Muppet Treasure Island gets mad points because it's the muppets, it's got Tim Curry, and they actually make Long John Silver a real human being instead of a charicature of darkness and corruption.

*snickers* That is SOOO true. But it was just one movie to pick out of the giant list of the ones I think are fantastic. I mean, Star Wars is right up there with it, same with X-men and all of them. hehe

Hell, even that lego dragon movie was pretty good. I'd watch that again before I'd rewatch "A Beautiful Mind" or "Master and Commander"

The one that had Russel Crowe as the schizophrenic who won the Nobel Prize in Physics?

It was okay, but also misleading in a lot of ways, basically it was like
Russel's fine
Russel's a genius
Russel's in college
*skip two or three years*
Russel's working for the gov't
*skip a year or two*
Uh oh - Russel's crazy
There's a couple scenes of him acting schizophrenic
*skip six years*
Russel tries to drown his kid because one of his hallucinations tells him to
*skip four years*
Russel's a drooling moron on his porch thanks to the drugs
*skip ten years*
Russel wins the Nobel Prize, even though he's schizophrenic, yay hope.
*skip twenty years*
Russel's teaching physics now and he's alright and he's learned to deal with his hallucinations

The problem is they didn't make the skips that obvious, it was like the guy got better from massive schizophrenia in a matter of about half an hour. It takes years and years and years of constant work, drugs, and occasional relapses to get it down. It does a good job showing how hard and fucked up having a mental illness really is, and honestly, the scenes from his perspective, filtered through the lens of schizophrenia, are scarily accurate to what it's really like, especially when he makes one of the Jumps, but the fact that they cut through about 40 years in the course of the last 45 minutes of the movie drastically reduces the impact of just how bad of a day-to-day, month-to-month, year-to-year problem it is, and they made no attempt whatsoever to show what the times before and after a break are like. Like when he tried to drown his kid, it jumped straight to that within five minutes after him being released from the hospital even though we're talking about a lag of nearly 6 years. A serious psychotic break doesn't happen out of the blue, it builds up over the course of months, and then you're more fucked up than you were before for a year or two afterwards and never quite the same again.

It's also the movie that beat out The Fellowship of the Ring for Best Picture in the Oscars
