CapitalistPig posted:Everyone's interpretation of quality differs so for you to be able to say the BEST 5 movies of your lifetime implies you speak on behalf of your own generations tastes and views on quality which will differ greatly from person to person. I expect it to differ greatly, otherwise I would already have the answer and not need to ask.

Understanding what people perceive as quality is much more interesting than knowing what marvel movie made them jump out of their seat

I can definitely differentiate between movies that I enjoy/connect to on a personal level and movies I think are well executed and good in their art form or whatever. But it's much less interesting.

Tremendous Taste posted:if you conflate liking something with how good it is ok but I thought you were an adult But see , here's the thing. You are asking an opinion based question. People will always tend to see what they like as being of a higher quality than it may actually be. Most of the time the things that people really like are good to them. So yeah, I managed to try to argue my point without name calling. So who is the adult?

Pig are you seriously telling me you've never liked something and thought "I know this isn't great, but it appeals to me specifically" Have you ever recommended somebody something and skipped over stuff you knew was something specially you'd like?

Tremendous Taste posted:Adults insult people all the time, usually while recognizing the difference between "like" and "good" You are missing the point entirely. My five favorite movies are also the ones I think are best. Because apparently best means something different to me. My list of Best movies and favorite movies would be the same because they are my favorite movies for a reason, because I like them the best. They are the highest quality movies in my eyes. So what you are asking for is the same thing.

I think all of the movies I listed are excellent movies at conveying their message and were made pretty drat well, though Lawrence of Arabia owns and actually its just a standard narrative done superbly. Preference is quality btw
