A year ago (or something like that) I read a post where 'Burbs fans celebrated the movies 6.4 rating. Now I look it up on IMDB and see that the movie has a 6.6 rating! That's great! The movie deserves a high rating!
 
I agree. I think it deserved a 10.
 
Yeah, I gave it a 10. By the way, that was me who posted on imdb that the rating finally climbed to a 6.3 at that time.

And when those two guys did an interview with Joe Dante about The Burbs as a fan project (posted somewhere here on this board as well), they mentioned that The Burbs had a cult following and briefly mentioned that there are even people who are cheering that the imdb rating climbed to 6.3.

So Dante should know about that :D

I'm still dreaming that he occasionally checks this board.
 
Yeah, come on Joe...take your balls outta your wife's purse.....
 
Hey Joe, that's just a saying, no need to take it literally.
 
So you are the one who snoops around on IMDB?!! Great!:) I'm loving the fact that the movie is climbing up in the ratings! :)
 
I agree, it needs a 9.5 on the scale (nobody's really a 10 in my world) but 6? C'mon, this is a grade A movie...

Only a handful of movies deserves the perfect 10. For me it's more about the feeling the movie gives, that for me is more important then anything other.

Example: When I look back at the time when me and a couple of my friends (we where maybe 10-11 years) got a hold of "Nightmare on Elm Street". We talked about it for a whole week in school and knew that on Saturday we where going to watch it. The build up and the tension was at an all time high and I remember us being scared to death. Those are the good old times and that can make a mediocre (at best) movie feel like the greatest experience ever.

On topic: Good to see you again JoOngle, take a look in the "Flag" post, we have some questions for you...

I agree, it's always very important what personally links you to the movie.

Does anybody know "The Cannonball Run II" with Burt Reynolds? That was one of the first "real" movies I watched when I was a kid which wasn't a cartoon movie (well I guess the first one was Mary Poppins).

My dad rented it for me from our local video store. I guess if I watched it the first time nowadays it would be a more or less ridiculous movie to me but in connection with those memories from the past (I used to show this movie to virtually every school mate I had and they all loved it) this movie became something very precious for me. And it also made me like Burt Reynolds. I like this guy, I can't help it.
