The books are so much better though, why you talk about the movies? Seriously, the first movie started with about 3 minutes of a black screen with quiet music playing. I want something a bit better than that. And how long was it until someone actually talked in the movie?
...............Are you seriously disrespecting the movie? It is one of my favourite movies, and is one of if not the best movie ever! Only Citizen Kane and The Godfather match it in greatness.
I like the movie, I'm just using its faults to support my argument that the book is better. Besides, if you think that's the best movie in the world, you'd better check this out.
Actually since you posted that link, I should tell you that I was lying. The real greatest movie of all time is "The Room" starring Tommy Wiseau. Look it up on Megavideo. You won't be dissapointed.
