Such a difficult decision: 
Go to the theater to see the best muthafuckin’ movie of all muthafuckin’ time - or rent a shitty knockoff at Blockbuster?

Not convinced that SoaP is the best movie ever?  Check out this user comment I found on IMDb (after the jump):

Snakes on a Plane - My Quick (Fun) Take.

You know, I was sad as I walked out of my theatre when Snakes on a Plane ended. I knew I would never have such a memorable, up-roaring, unbelievable, unimaginable, and unexplainable experience like that in theatres ever again. This was the first physically possible time to see the film in the world: the 10 PM public screening on August 17, 2006. Me, my friend, and the fifty other people in the theatre (I work at) knew that fact, whether they were movie buffs, fans of the month-and-month-long cult, or just people who wanted to see how stupid this movie was. Everyone was energetic. People came in groups of five to ten people. I don’t think there was a single person over 25 in that theatre. Me and my friend figured we’d be the only ones who’d applaud any part of the movie, but as the lights dimmed, EVERYONE applauded, roared, and shouted at the top of the lungs. The threading at my theatre isn’t the best, so one fellow employee accidentally threaded the final Snakes on a Plane teaser trailer along with the movie. That caused extreme applause. As the Feature Presentation slide came on, people roared. As the film started with its easy, mellow atmosphere, people were yelling at the top of their lungs. They did when the title came on and they did when Samuel L. Jackson first came on screen five minutes in, with a line that will undoubtedly be one of the many to become famous. “Do as I say, and you’ll live!”

That’s all I’m saying. I’m not spoiling any of the film. You simply need to see just how over-the-top the film is with itself. Samuel L. Jackson is the man. He owns this movie. He owns every single shot he is in with every single line he utters. It’s simply indescribable to tell you the experience you’ll have watching this movie. If your audience is even a fraction as fan-crazy as mine was, you’re going to have one of the best theatre experiences of your life. My audience was hell-bent throughout the entire movie, laughing, yelling, and having the best fun they’ll ever have. Everyone erupted with the famous line. As soon as Jackson said “Enough is enough,” everyone stood up, waited for the rest of the line and deafeningly applauded for about ten seconds.

Snakes on a Plane is without a doubt one of the most entertaining theatre experiences I’ve ever had or ever will have. I simply do not want to watch another movie right away because I know it will never be as crazy as Snakes on a Plane. It was one of the most memorable times I’ll ever, ever have in a theatre and me and my friend will never, ever forget it. I’m so excited right now, I just do not want to sleep. I want to yell and tell everyone how f**king crazy this movie is. My throat is sore from all the yelling and my hands are nearly bleeding from all the clapping. I’ve never felt like that before. This is like drinking 20 Red Bulls. If you are a film buff, film snob, or just a human male, you must see Snakes on a Plane. I know I will at least once more. And be sure to see it with a good fellow audience; the participation is half the movie.

My Rating: 10/10
