Realistically is there a better movie in the history of cinema than Starship Troopers

[Jase]

that sounds hot

dibs on the feet

would have been even better if they were able to keep Verhoevan on and do some solid sequels rather then the B movie sh*t they ended up turning out.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Nothing beats ESB... You understand me? Never ever ever commit such a crime against the film industry in stating that anything is better than ESB...

[The Saltman]

am I the only one here that looks up to AKpantherfan?

I saw that in the theatre when it came out. Totally badass. If there is an actor who can carry a leading role more than Casper Van Dien I dare you to point him out. I would also like to submit Dracula 3000 and Shark Attack as proof.

This is of course does not include Richard Grieco in If Looks Could Kill. The Citizen Kane of my generation.

Well as a Heinlein fan I was bitterly disappointed -at first. Verhoven seemed to make a mockery of Heinleins points, positive and negative, of facism, espirit de corps, etc. And of course the entire premise of the humans and enemies fight was removed - no rocket suits, no Skinnies, all of that. It became hundreds of people shooting M16s carrying unlimited ammo.

As time went on I started to appreciate it for what it was - and as an effects geek, it has a place in my heart for probably being the last big effects movie to not use CGI. The ships were terrific pieces of art. Loved the ultra violence, the propaganda and the editing. Hated everything that skank Denise whateverhenamewas touched. She was gawdawful.

[Epistaxis]

That broad nearly killed the movie.

Still can't figure out why groundpounding was necessary....but without it, no bughunt, so meh.

[Jangler]

I've seen the shower scene.

[SmootsDaddy89]

The other girl who showed her tits like all good women should made up for Richards though.

[SmootsDaddy89]

I'm gonna dress up as one of those acid beetles and attach a flamethrower to my head and use it on all the annoying kids I see on Halloween.
