I get what you are saying, but what I am saying is that IMO if you say something like this about a show or movie then it probably isn't an all-time great. The greatest pieces of art need to stand up over time. JMO but you can't say that Seinfeld is a great show if you can't sit down and watch it and find it funny still. I could watch stuff like Arrested Development over and over, same with Curb, so I say they are great. Seinfeld suffers a bit from the above, so it's knocked down my rankings a bit.
But you said great comedies shouldn't hold up, and I just can't get behind that. Caddyshack shouldn't be great if you only laughed at it with your buddies when you were drunk in college, but it's not funny now.
That's not the same thing but I am fine with saying Happy Gilmore is a great comedy even though I'm worn out on adam sandler, or saying sesame street was awesome even though I hardly watch it anymore.I get what you are saying, but what I am saying is that IMO if you say something like this about a show or movie then it probably isn't an all-time great.

You turned it off before any of the interesting things happened. It's an incredible movie. Not because of the cool action scenes, although it was the first of its kind with the "bullet time" approach. It is actually surprisingly deep. Which is not something I would expect from an action movie with fishburne and keanu.
I cut ties with mainstream media but kept seeing her name having no-clue who she was. Just an annoying name as far as I was concerned.
There's one that is for kids and I hate to admit it, but of all the things they watch, this one isn't half bad. Typical Romeo & Juliet story line with some Bollywood style singing/dancing. There's much much much worse that they demand to watch.
It really doesn't need to be. It's got action, but it's not an "action movie".
Wait, wut?bostonfred said:
I only watched The Matrix once, many years ago. I thought it was dumb, not at all as "deep" as people make it out to be.
I'd never feel good calling you dumb because you aren't dumb and I respect you and your opinions more than 99% of the people who post here.
I actually think the correct answer is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but Cable Guy was great.

Horrible Boses and Bridesmaids both great...but 2011
Like, my BP goes up. My hands sweat. I grind my teeth. I get anxious to the point where I can't sit comfortably in my chair. I just can't handle the stupidity. So yeah, I'd like to punch him.
Speaking of stupidity, you can just call me stupid and I'm ok with that.
I don't mean that mr. Bean is great, just that it holds up well because nobody copies it. So if it started out as a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. It's still a 6. But There's Something about Mary might have been a 10 when it came out, and now it's a 7.
Absolutely love Groundhog Day. Probably a Top 5 movie for me. Holds up well to multiple viewings while also giving you lots of stuff to think about. Miss not getting whatever channel used to run the February 2 marathon.
in the 90's.
