Your favourite movie.

[Taurth]

Theres probably been topics on this before, but I wouldn't mind making a new thread.

So, as the title says, whats your favorite movie?

For me its a toss up between Casino and Pulp Fiction. I'd probably have to say Pulp Fiction, but its a very hard choice.

[WarMachine]

Aliens

or

Serenity

Though I was pretty impressed with Transformers. And I really like The fifth Element.

[Taurth]

I wasn't all that impressed with Transformers to be honest. The effects were amazing but some bits seemed a bit childish. Especially the scenes with that stupid miniature Decepticon; God that thing was annoying.

[Zakiya]

I'd probably have to agree, Pulp Fiction is easily one of the best films ever made.

That said, if the Matrix is on, everything gets put back one in the priority league. I know it word for word and there isn't one part I don't enjoy. However, it's hard to choose between the two, because Pulp is so damn funny.

Oh and by Matrix I mean the first one. Not the trilogy. The first one.

When Smith was beaten up with one hand and when you thought that was air you were breathing. The good film.

[Kstone498]

Defenitly Braveheart for me, must have watched that move over 20+ times. Defenitly Mel Gibson's best movie to date and what a classic.

[Krulltak]

I can't think of a favorite at the moment, so I will just list things off(in no particular order) and think about it:

Zulu

2001: A Space Oddessy

The Godfather

Die Hard

King Kong

Peter Jackson's King Kong

Die Hard

Children of Men

Pan's Labyrinth

The Empire Strikes Back

From Russia With Love

Dr. No

The Shining

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Back to the Future parts Eye, Eye Eye, and Eye Eye Eye

3:10 to Yuma

Saving Private Ryan

The Last of the Mohicans

The Terminal

Superman I, Superman II

Batman Begins

Spiderman, Spiderman II


Anything Hitchcock, specifically Psycho and Vertigo

I'll think of more later.

[Vaeronthar]

Reign Over Me.

Can't say why. Just my kind of movie, I suppose.

[pooter26]

Im not totally obsessed with fantasy, i just like games <.>

I think my favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption and it really doesn't have any action compared to the movies you guys mentioned, more drama and realism. The thing is you are entertained the entire way through. I cried the first time i saw that movie (I was alone of course) and i have seen it about 15 times and it is fantastic compared to Schindler's list which stole all its awards. In fact, i think im gonna go watch it my 16th time :)

[Wolfman]

Actually, it lost Best Picture to Forrest Gump. That was a good year, with Shawshank, Gump, Quiz Show, and Pulp Fiction. Personally, I think Quiz Show was the best of those choices, but I enjoyed them all.

Schindler's List was the year before.

My favorite movie is Star Wars. Top 5 would be:

1. Star Wars
2. Vertigo
3. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
4. Edward Scissorhands
5. Fight Club

[Fusko]

Any movie starring Vin Diesel as a lead role.



...and Dragonwars.




...and Gigli.

[WarMachine]

My favorite movie is Star Wars. Top 5 would be:

1. Star Wars

I consider my self a big Star Wars fan, but I can't point to one single movie the stuck out as a favorite, instead it has to be the entire series of movies. Personally, I like the Old Republic stories the best.

[Gleipnir]

Heres mine :o. Cant pinpoint a single one though.

Pan's Labyrinth.
The godfather (1+2).
Silence of the Lambs.
Requiem for a dream.
One flew over the cuckoos nest.
City of God.
The usual suspects.
Se7en.
Heat.

So many good movies :)

Gleip!

[Graven]

Hmmm, let me see now :)


K-Pax
The Godfather 1
Terry Pratchett's Hogfather
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Nightwatch/Daywatch
Pan's Labyrinth
Seven
Silence of the Lambs
300 - it's pretty good at what it is - a fantasy action movie
Underworld

There are many more, but I forgot them now...

[Monbackey]

Aliens

or

Serenity

Though I was pretty impressed with Transformers. And I really like The fifth Element.
Dude..... +1 on that

Serenity is a really great movie. Maybe not my all time favorite, I don't even know what that would be, but Serenity is definitely up there. Same with Aliens. And Transformers....lol wtf.....

Oh yeah and Predator and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade....

[Zacks]

V For Vendetta. It gives me goosebumps every time.

[Taurth]

Also Graven, K-Pax is another great film.

My top five would probably be:

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Casino
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Fight Club
5. K-Pax

[Rowhin]

I'll have to agree with Taurth. Pulp Fiction is the damn best movie ever made.

[Wolfman]

I consider my self a big Star Wars fan, but I can't point to one single movie the stuck out as a favorite, instead it has to be the entire series of movies. Personally, I like the Old Republic stories the best.

I love them all so I just list the original since that's where it all started.

[Nathar]

Sphere. Brilliantly clever thriller. Just love it!

[Elge]

Donnie Darko is easily first for me.

Top 5 would be:

Donnie Darko
The Truman Show
The Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Gladiator

[Walrus]

Favourtie movies:

LOTR Trilogy
Matrix Trilogy

Starwars, hmmm..... ep. 4-6 were well, too nice and bright. I appreciate how they tried to make the ep. 2-3 darker.

[Rime]

I can't choose just one

no particular order

Scarface
Spaceballs
Ghostbusters
Gummo
Cabin Boy
Life of Brian
The Jerk

[MageLite]

Can't really think of a 'favourite movie'. Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, any of the Potc movies, Shrek 1+2 (but not 3 *shudders*), Serenity, The LotR films, and the Warhammer film. If one was ever made.

[Taurth]

Love Shaun of the Dead, not seen Hot Fuzz though. I'm a big fan of SPACED aswell, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are ace.

[Avien]

Moved this to gamer Culture as it has been brought to my attention that the label on the Gamer Culture forum says "movies". So movie threads belong here ;)

*moved with a pile of DVDs*

[lucky7]

Double post

V For Vendetta. It gives me goosebumps every time.

Yea man V for Vendetta is where its at.

[Pandemonium]

Favorite movies are...(no particular order)

Shawshank Redemption
The First Matrix
The Departed
Unbreakable
Pan's Labyrinth
Children of Men

No offense but I loathe V for Vendetta...It was just too long.

[Wolfman]

No offense but I loathe V for Vendetta...It was just too long.

I'm also not a big fan of V. I think it's worth seeing once, mostly because Natalie Portman is onscreen and looking gorgeous for a good portion of it. Beyond that, there are just way too many problems with the movie.

Spoilers for V for Vendetta follow:

----------------------------

Don't British people hate Guy Fawkes? And how is everyone getting together and wearing the same costume symbolic of freedom? Why is blowing up Parliament - the represenatitive portion of government - a move towards freedom? If everyone is so repressed, why do they stand around all day, in public, making smartass comments about the government? How does killing a TV personality - an old man naked in the shower - make any kind of worthwhile political statement?

Edit - Here's a review of V that I agree with: http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-et-vendetta17mar17,0,7401157.story

[John_Skellan]

Animal House

No questions about it. It is a true American Classic, and there are so many movies that take things from Animal House and just ruin them its beyond belief. I love that movie. Jon Belushi for ever!

Toga! Toga! Toga!

[Sekhmet]

300.. i watch it at least every other day.

[Krulltak]

300.. i watch it at least every other day.

Good El!

Humanity, why do you continue to fail me?

[Protest]

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

and

The Big Lebowski

In that order.

[Axxar]

I don't know if it's my favourite movie, but it hasn't been mentioned and it's definetly high on my list: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

[mongoose]

Dune - not the hacked to bits theatrical release or the craptastic SciFi version that was 3 times as long but just as hacked up. No the only version worth watching is the version that Fox unofficialy made that included about 40 mins of extra footage. 8-)

[Vegetta]

Animal House

No questions about it. It is a true American Classic, and there are so many movies that take things from Animal House and just ruin them its beyond belief. I love that movie. Jon Belushi for ever!

Toga! Toga! Toga!


"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!"

I loved Animal house

My Favs.
Brotherhood of the wolf
Gladiator
300
Seven Samurai
Bladerunner
Shogun Assassin
The Duelist

[Grimfell Gromgear]

Either Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Or Disney's Alladin.

[Sekhmet]

Good El!

Humanity, why do you continue to fail me?

lol.. Come on the movie rocks. 300 Spartans kill more $#!% than smallpox and the perisian army was more frightned than a cub scout at the neverland ranch.. lol

But I also like the movies you listed too.. good stuff there.

[kissmequick]

Hm can't pick just one, in fact top 10 is tricky but here goes,

Shawshank
Memento
The Brave
Savior
Pulp Fiction

and on a lighter side

Monty Pythons meaning of Life and Life of Brian
Galaxy Quest
Mystery Men
Serenity

I'll probably remember more later but those are the ones that popped into my head.

[Vid]

Generally speaking I don't like movies but I have a very short list of movies that I actually do like: (in no order)


Dogma
Fifth Element
Lady in the Water
300

I'm sure there are a few others I can't think of right now.

[minotauro]

se7en.....David Fincher is genius.

[Serai]

I cant pick a favorite :(
And I don't honestly care for some of the newer movies

Pulp Fiction -Pretty much anything by Tarentino, but this was pure genius

Donnie Darko -Cult Classic

V for Vendetta -favorite of relatively recent movies. And Natalie Portman is my favorite
Actress...even bald :D

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -unexplainably awesome. Oh my darlin' Clementine

[Elge]

[Gaazruk]

Serenity.... "I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar"

[Taurth]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -unexplainably awesome. Oh my darlin' Clementine
Have to agree that that film was really good. I was quite surprised the first time I' watched it actually, as I'm not that big a fan of Jim Carrey.

[Elge]

Have to agree that that film was really good. I was quite surprised the first time I' watched it actually, as I'm not that big a fan of Jim Carrey.

I agree in some respects. I've been a mild Carrey fan, mostly for his comedy (since that's what he mostly does), but I wasn't a fan of those sappy movies before this. But I really loved Eternal Sunshine. It got me into watching other sappy movies just like it.

But not many, of course.

-cough, manly arm pump-

(Don't be fooled by the Avatar, BTW. Female character does not equal female player).

[Redrum772]

Predator hands down.

I mean multiple follow-up movies, games, etc and 2 future Govenors were in it.

[Joeydevil]

Better Off Dead.

The Big Lebowski is a very close second.

[Crusader]

I justed watched the original Friday the 13th again for Halloween. Easily one of my favorite horror movies.

[Chielz0r]

No particular order:

Aliens
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Gladiator

Great movies all.

[Gahzug]

Necromancing is being preformed...

"TOO MANY CHOICES", the necromancer screamed and ripped his hair. "TOO MANY!"

[MrChrist]

Im going to have to say Star Wars, but close runner-ups are...

No Country for Old Men
American History X
Pulp Fiction
Fight Club

Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Spaceballs (the beginning of all lightsaber E.D. jokes lol:p)

take your pick, I can watch em all and not get tired of it:rolleyes:

[Von Stabb]

Apocalypse Now

2 Oscars,3 Golden Globes,1 Palme d`Or.Considered by the United States Library of Congress as "culturally significant" and added to their National Film Registry.Plus,it`s soundtrack kicks .Its director,Coppola said that "it`s not a movie about Vietnam,it is Vietnam!".My opinion is that it`s not a movie at all.It`s a trip...a reality warp...a descent into surreal madness...If you haven`t already,do yourself a favour and head to the nearest torrent site,get it,and watch it.Intro here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCUQtbZ3Tbs

[Kerghan]

wow, tons of violent and sci-fi movies. And whats with males here being unable to admit they liked a emotional movie, or even cried for that matter? Also, personally I think tarentino is EXTREMELY overrated. Hes good, no doubt about it, but hes not a god. Just had to say it.

Randomly I'll say my two favorite movies are "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit" and "The Brave Little Toaster" (childhood favorite) followed by, in no particular order...
Toy Story
Snatch
Helvetica (i'm a graphic designer... i have to love it)
Dr. Strangelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (Kubrick is the real god)
Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure
Shawshank redemption

I dunno why, but for some reason, seeing "Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure" paired with "The Shawshank Redemption" cracks me up...

[Rizzen]

Pulp Fiction
Clockwork Orange
Fight Club
Boondock Saints
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Full Metal Jacket

[priji]

myt favorite king kong, star wars and spiderman, spiderman 2 :o

[MehLindi]

Stanley Kubricks movies kick .

A Clockwork Orange- So disturbing but... beautiful? I don't know why i love it but i do.

Also:

Jurassic Park

Fight Club rocks on so many levels

Star Wars IV-VI

and of course Shawshank

[Kharlene]

1) Stand by Me, just a beautiful, tragic movie.

2) Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back, as a huge SW nerd, I fricking love this movie. :shock:

3) Blade Runner, an incredible movie with one of the most touching scenes in movie history (imo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpgR6nZE_Rc (if you have not seen Blade Runner DO NOT click on the link)

4) The Atomic Bomb Movie, not easy to find and not so much a movie but more of a documentary on the numerous nuclear weapons testing over the span of several decades the US, Russia, and China have done. Truly one of the scariest movies I ever seen, horror movies, nothing, just excuses for wanton violence and/or to be creepy (the latter being what defines a horror movie, of course), this movie is based on documented fact, and it is absolutely terrifying to learn the results of those numerous tests.

5) The Fox and the Hound, such an adorable movie and yet so sad, breaks my heart every time I watch it... :(

[Rance]

The Hidden Fortress
Kind Hearts and Coronets
The Great Escape
