Is there one movie that you judge people by? I mean if they like it then you respect or dont respect that person.

Yes.

If you like Just One Of The Guys, you are my new best friend.

And if you are into modern japanese horror films,
I don't like you very much.

Great choices! I also use Almost Famous and Joe vs. the Volcano (though none of my friends or acquaintances seem to appreciate this one).

The Matrix Reloaded

If you like it, you are an Intellectual Giant.

If you hate it, you are a brain-dead moron.

It's not so much what they like or dislike, but why... Like if I hear "Oh, I hated Memento... it didn't make any sense" I instantly label that person a moron. Now if they said something like "I didn't like Memento because I thought it was too gimmicky", I'll disagree but still respect the person.

Pulp Fiction (or any Tarantino movie for that matter - what a surprise).

If you like it, we're cool.

If you don't, get the f out.

If you gave Office Space a chance you are ok by me.
If you actaully saw it when it was at the movies we could be best friends. ( But if I recall there weren't many people at our showing )

If you can't enjoy a good eye candy film I may just poke your eyeballs out so you can't ever enjoy any other movie.

My respect towards people who likes Michael Bay movies decreases everytime I think about his movie I've seen.

Not without dinner and dancing first, smooth guy.

I cannot be friends with anyone who doesn't like Blazing Saddles.

Don't have many friends do you?



If they like Fight Club or The Big Lebowski, I know we can get along. If their favorite movie is either Hardball or Sweet November, I hope to never speak with them again.

I have found that I can get an excellent conversation out of anybody who hates Spiderman or Spiderman 2: Daredevil.

Sorry, but everyone's movie choices suck. Not suck as in they're bad movies, but they're bad movies to guage other people by.

Now... you want the ultimate movie to guage a person by?

The Princess Bride.

In my lifetime, I've only come across ONE person that did not like that movie.

If someone doesn't like Princess Bride, there's something not quite right upstairs, and not in a good way.

I can't think of any other movie that is so universally loved.

I agree with fumanstan on Star Wars. If people like the film, that's fine, but if they are obsessed with it then that's a clear sign for me to STAY AWAY.

What if I were to tell you that I thought Memento was only okay because, for the most part, I found it very predictable?
