Favorite Movies and TV Shows

[Johan Liebert]

Similar to the thread in the "Anime and Manga" section, shouldn't this be a topic, too? If so, hopefully it'll get pinned. Anyway, here are my top ten favorite movies of all time:

 

1. The Shawshank Redemption

1. Rear Window

3. Silence of the Lambs

4. Vertigo

5. Psycho

6. Star Wars/Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back/Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

7. Inception

8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

9. Pulp Fiction

10. The Green Mile

 

And here are some of my favorite television shows of all time (only the top two are ranked; I'm not sure about the others):

 

1. Hannibal

2. Twin Peaks

3. Batman: The Animated Series

4. Supernatural (personal reasons play into this one a little bit)

5. Justice League/Justice League: Unlimited

6. Ed, Edd n' Eddy

7. Teen Titans

8. Young Justice

9. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (the 2008-2014 show)

10. Batman: The Brave and The Bold (I need to watch more television shows)

For me, I can't really rank, and movies would probably be way too difficult (partially because I just don't like them as much as a medium), but I can name some:

• Spider-Man (1994)
• Batman Beyond (never had as much exposure to The Animated Series)
• Static Shock
• X-Men: The Animated Series
• The Flash (2014)
• Ben 10
• Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (yes, even still, there are a lot of moments that I have found highlights of my viewing experience the past few years)
• Might have to add Gotham once I catch up

 

Suffice to say, when it comes to anything but anime I seem to prefer action more than anything. I don't even have anything (actually added) that isn't a superhero show on here.[spoiler=Agents you could argue (idk if this can even be considered a spoiler anymore)] but a main character does have powers.

I totally would've added The Flash, but after watching the first few episodes of the third season, I'm extremely disappointed. Everything since the middle of the first season was extremely good (in my opinion) for the most part, but I've just never seen a show drop so tremulously in quality in a matter of forty-five or ninety minutes. Then again, part of this is because I really thought they'd actually do something cool with the "Flashpoint Paradox" stuff. I knew they couldn't adapt the comic or do much of anything from the animated film (which might be my favorite DC-animated film), but what they did seemed like the biggest wasted opportunity ever. Even at the end of season two, I believed that they should've saved this storyline (if they were going to go somewhere with it) until at least the fifth season, if not the final season of the entire show. And I'm tired of speedsters being the main villains. I hope I didn't spoil anything for you, but I really loved the show and the third season has been terrible for me so far.

It's all good, I agree the speedsters need to be mixed up for something else, but Flashpoint did have some very, very important changes in several character's lives. I honestly feel if it went much further it would have been quite overblown to me. I feel like there could still be problems that arise because of it even further down the line, so I'm actually glad it wasn't really that much all at once or anything. [spoiler=Then again, it would just be hard to care if newer characters were]who those problems affected more. Considering it could be difficult to distinguish whether the Flashpoint actually affects then or not, amount other things,

That's my take on it. True that I would still feel they dropped the ball at least somewhat if they really didn't do anything else with it, but...  perhaps my whole point is moot, due to what I said in the spoiler. Which is more of a theory that I don't really want happening least I get confused, but I want to at least try to be safe with that, and you do watch it, so it's not like you won't click, you'll see it.

 

Then again, I also wasn't much of a Flash fan before now, so I don't know why it's such a disappointment when it already seems like such a major thing, but this one mostly just affects Team Flash. As a kid, if I had a chance to see the superhero team ups, well I heard the old Avengers one wasn't good (definitely worse than the newer stuff) and well, I did like the Justice League (and Teen Titans, if that means anything), but not more than the singular hero stuff I listed. It's almost always a little more overblown than I'm willing to believe, which is why that kind of thing is better at the rate the Avengers movies come out, the rare instance movies movies work better for me, superhero team ups. Sure, it's a lot of characters. But you don't need much development: The other movies do it for Avengers (unless they were introduced in 1 of them), The Guardians have a lot of comedy, it certainly seems perfect.
