I actually totally agree with Raven. My prime example I use all the time is that I realize The Godfather is a WAY better movie than The Guyver. However, I enjoy The Guyver much more.
I realize that The Godfather is better written, better acted, better directed, better sets, better everything.... It's just a better movie period. However, I can watch The Guyver any day, any time, over and over and over cause I love it despite how crappy it is.
Therefore a "Best Movies" and "Favorite Movies" list from me is way different.

Yeah, and to use an example of mine, The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite movie of all time (spoiler alert for Bob's countdown? ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ) but I know for a fact that there are better made movies out there.

Well I guess if you look at movies from a technical aspect than "Best" would be different than favorite.

I just don't see them that way, so it'd be impossible for me to make an attempt to vote with that sort of mindset.

I love movies considered popcorn flicks and I love movies considered high brow as well.

I can love both for the same reason: they entertain me. Be it Godfather or Street Fighter, as long as it entertains me then I'm going to like it and view it a favorable manner.

I think this works the same way music works.
There's people who get into every aspect of a song, lyrics and such and how progressive it is or whatever, and there are people who just like a certain song because it's catchy.

I should put it this way, how much I LIKE a movie is based on entertainment and/or keeping my attention, however I can give props to something even if I didn't like it.
The Godfather is still my prime example of that. I have all the respect in the world for that movie, but it bores me.

It's got it's moments, but for something that is paced like it is, it goes on far too long. And at the same time, it's got such great acting, and the locales or what have you are so perfect.

I think pretty much any form of entertainment works that way: movies, tv, music, comics, etc. Shoot, even toys. You've got kids who only care about playing with a toy, and then collectors who consider the engineering and aesthetics to be of more importance.

Guys, I think the lesson here is, I was totally right about there being a difference between favorite and best. ;D
I'm just messin'.
The REAL lesson here is, it's okay to be whatever religion you wish, you deserve to be treated equally. There's no wrong answer.
Except for Scientology. Those guys can suck horse penis.
....what was this thread about?
