This is a no brainer.

The Departed.

That's it.

The Departed

Watched gladiator a few weeks ago

Wasn’t as enthralling as I remember but it was still very good and I actually knew what the story was finally lol

Gladiator is it. I've never met anyone who dislikes Gladiator.

I enjoyed The Departed a lot. Some of Matt Damon's best acting. But the biggest plot hole ever(Anthony Anderson's character knows both of them) makes me hate on it


In terms of 2006 crime dramas

Inside Man>>>The Departed

 

[dontdiedontkillanyone]

Infernal Affairs >>> The Departed

 

[Chi-Town B]

The Departed gets my vote

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

The Departed is a classic til the end lol

 

[Justauser]

Damn, now that's tough. Both are great flicks. I saw the departed in theaters, but not gladiator. The fact that I didn't see gladiator in theaters and this is still tough means it's gotta get the vote.

Probably a dumb question, but I see people mention seeing a movie in theaters. Why does seeing a movie in a theater influence your opinion on it?

Depends on the movie but crowd participation is real. Like The Avengers, Black Panther and the Raid movies

Infernal Affairs >>> The Departed

Both >>>> gladiator

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

EndGame hit different in the theaters

Depending on what movie it is but some Movies hit harder when you see them in theater

Usually for me the sound quality and surround sound makes an impact on certain scenes In movies which is why sound design is important. Hard to replicate that at home

When ppl in these threads talk about seeing the movies with friends or if others are saying stuff during the movie which make it more enjoyable I think it’s bullshit and it’s not a legit reason to pick a movie over another.

 

[Sony Montana]

It’s incredible that the departed is losing

Something about a hype theater that enhances the movie experience....

It's the same energy as seeing a live sport or music performance

Definitely expected Departed to be leading comfortably when I voted

Wow

If it's close I normally leave the thread open for 24hrs, it's been 22 so far.
