The Sixth Sense is tied for top with Twelve Monkeys for me. Very different flicks, but both extremely good.

The Sixth Sense was an awesome movie! One of my all time favorites.

Going to see Inside Out with the family tonight. I've heard nothing but positive reviews so far.
We saw it on Friday (mid-afternoons, even in the summer, are a good time to avoid major crowds).
It's pretty amazing, easily in the Top <n> Pixar movies. Love the design, characters, the message, the terrific cast - and it works on a number of different levels: kids, adult humor, even some pretty "heady" stuff. Plenty of amazingly emotional moments in it too. Our little one who's 7yrs/old loved it too and it's probably a must have when it's available on home video.
FYI, we went with the 2D, the 3D is probably pretty amazing in quite a few scenes, but I just find a touch distracting (and there's so much to take in with the story).
9.2-9.3/10
Am I the only one who thinks of Herman's Head when Inside Out is mentioned?

Thanks for the review. I'm really wondering how my 10 year old is going to react to the movie. He's your typical boy, but does have a sensitive side at times.
saw it on friday with family.
everyone loved it (including teen age boy).
agree it is one of the best pixars.
funny, bittersweet, sophisticated.
the short 'lava' is easily the worst pixar ever produced, and horrible even by non-pixar standards
Yeah, I've heard that you should bring your Kleenex box with you when you see it. No worries though, tears are no big deal in our house. We're in touch with our feelings.Just be ready with a response to the question, "Dad, are you crying?"
Some possible answers:
"I got some seasoned popcorn salt in my eye"
"Can't a grown man cry??" (Run to bathroom after you say this...)
Alternate solution:
Go to 3D showing, the glasses will hide your tears ...

That's so beautiful ...

IT'S ALLERGIES DAMMIT!
Sadly, Inside Out was the first original Pixar movie that I thoroughly disliked. Perhaps after making so many cash-in sequels in recent years (Inside Out is only Pixar's second original film since 2009), they have forgotten how to tell a great story like they used to.
Having seen all the Pixar original features in first release, I feel a great sadness at their first real failure.

Inside Out really didn't work for me.Wow, really? I mean, it _is_ subjective, but you see a consensus like this, and it's hard to understand seeing it as an utter and complete failure on all levels (that I would equate to an F)
Inside Out really didn't work for me.
That's my loss - - I have seen every original Pixar feature in first run - - so I was surprised as anyone at my review (except perhaps for the four "rotten" reviewers so far).
Fortunately, it seems to be working fine for the "consensus" as you say, and I am happy for Pixar to hear that.

Interesting. For a long time it seemed Pixar was incapable of failure until... Cars series, then Up, ick.![]()
Really, I loved Cars. Maybe it's because I have boys and they were totally into all of the Cars movies. Good memories for me there.
You don't have to be a boy to like cars I loved cars and am not a boy anymoreReally, I loved Cars. Maybe it's because I have boys and they were totally into all of the Cars movies. Good memories for me there.

I'm not offended at all.I apologize if my post offended. I wasn't making a statement about gender, but merely pointing out that my children, who are boys, loved those movies and therefore I have fond memories of us watching them together over and over. Those experiences have endeared that movie series to me and thus it holds a special place in my heart.
Okay, great. Sorry, without further explanation or context I wasn't clear on what you were saying. Still not sure I know exactly, but I'm relieved to know you aren't upset.I'm not offended at all.

Gotcha, you were referring to age and not gender. My mistake, thanks for clarifying.I'm 38 and LOVE the cars movies, they're not just for boys they're just fun.
