Am I crazy to think the The Last Boy Scout is one of the best movies I've ever seen?

Asked by jdegrazia (145 points) | asked 1 month ago | 4 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

It is by far the most unapologetically silly of the movies I’d ask to bring with me when exiled to a deserted island, but does its silliness take away from its literary value? Or might I be mistaking hilarious one liners for brilliant storytelling?

well the last boy scout was a good movie, but the best movie? I have to say you haven’t seen enough to make that decision.

To each his own. I don’t happen to think there’s much compelling to the Last Boy Scout personally, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t mean something to you.

Movies are a visual storytelling medium, and if you think that movie is superior to any other because it uses the medium to tell a great story, then who is anybody to argue with you? That’s your opinion. No, you’re not crazy.

Yuo don’t get nominated for MTV Awards for Best On-Screen Duo and Best Action Sequence unless you are the one of the best movies ever. Enough said.

I hated it because it came out right after my brother comitted suicide. I couldn’t get past the part at the beginning where he shoots himself in the head, sorry.
