You know what the really interesting thing about these threads is? When people state why those are their favourite movies.

I agree.

Here are mine, in no real order, with exception of the first.

1. Star Wars - My favourite movie series of all time.
2. The Lord of the Rings - I love fantasy. I read a ton of novels, and even though I didn't like the LotR novels very much, I loved the movies.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean - Pirates just kick major ass, plus Jack Sparrow is awesome.
4. Spider-Man - My favourite comic book and favourite hero.
5. Black Hawk Down - I just love this movie...for no real reason. I just do.
6. UHF - Weird Al was a big favourite of mine when I was a kid, and I just thought this movie was great. It's become a big movie amongst my friends since I introduced it to them.
7. Spaceballs - Mel Brooks makes hilarious movies, and Spaceballs was the first one I saw. It's just damn funny.
8. History of the World Part I - My favourite comedy movie of all time. One of few comedy movies that really made me laugh.
9. The Transformers: The Movie - It's Trans-f*cking-formers! This movie just kicks so much ass.
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - It's TMNT...no other reasons needed.

1. North by Northwest
Excellent Hitchcock film, great witty dialogue, brilliant acting. Just a film I could watch over and over

2. The Girl Next Door
Brilliant direction and acting. Good mix of humour and drama. A real sort of fantasy film for me, makes me feel happy. Elisha Cuthbert is totally hot

3. Twin Warriors
Breath-taking fight scenes mainly. Interesting story behind it (if ruined by dubbing and, generally, the overacting) which I think kinda parallels Leonardo and Raphel

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Why wouldn't you love it?

5. Rear Window
Another excellent Hitchcock film for the same reasons as North by Northwest. Classic film

6. Falling Down
Really interesting concept. Great acting and really makes you think.

7. LOTR: The Two Towers
It's generally the 2nd film of a trilogy which becomes most people's favourite (although I think the first is also very good in different ways). I prefer this the most because nothing in it drags on compared to the others and the characters were more interesting in this part. More epic storyline and some great battle scenes

8. La Haine
Simple sort of concept but a really interesting film. Follows around what basically are French chavs/townies/scallies in a slightly different to normal day. All the characters are very human and the many situations carry such power and emotion.

9. Minority Report
I just thought it was well directed, especially looking at the mall sequence where Agatha is helping John by telling him odd things to do. The look of the film was really good and I liked the twist as well.

10. Memento
Just great. Good atmosphere. Cool idea. Well put together

I could go on about more because I love films and as you can probably tell I appreciate the production qualities maybe a bit moreso than the personal 'feel' you get from the film

And I thought I was the only one who has seen this film. It is indeed very good, and it does show the youth in the banlieue. That's probably why I don't like it (well, yes I do... Argh It's one of those love/hate things). I don't like people being kept stupid (school burnt down, no one attempts to rebuild it).

My list is always changing, but as of right now......

Saving Private Ryan
Reservoir Dogs
The Godfather
Donnie Darko
Return of the King
A New Hope
The Last Crusade
Boondock Saints
Dawn of the Dead('78)
Taxi Driver

I just posted this at midgard but.. Polo, in fifth grade because I was obsessed wiht NBC (and still am) you said you hated the film/poem. You and frank anf josh would make fun of me and Jack's last name. And now after you actually see the movie, you're all "oh my f*cking god i love it". You don't deserve to like it, you said you hated it.

>.<



EDIT:
Er...

Favourite movies:
1) The Nightmare Before Christmas - There's nothing to it. It's just the best movie ever.
2) Big Fish - This was just amazing. I haven't read the book It's based on though, yet.
3) InuYasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across time - Wow. InuYasha on the big screen. ^.^ I loved the Inu+Kag stuff.
4) InuYasha the Movie 3: The Sword of World Conqeust - This really explains alot of Doggie's past, and Sesshoumaru is in it!! >w<

Ok:

1)Troy
2)Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
3)The Haunted Mansion (Eddy Murphy)
4)The Village
5)The Incredibles
6)The Day after Tomorrow
7)Scary Movie 3
8)Shrek 1
9)van Helsing
10)The Passion of the Christ

Whoa! Now that's an... interesting list.

Must...resist.....urge....to....kill......

Whoa, calm down, buddy.

1- Mallrats
2- Shaun of The Dead
3- Child's Play 2
4- An Evening With Kevin Smith (It counts)
5- Evil Dead 2
6- Napoleon Dynamite (For the basic principle of it being funnier after you watch it twice)
7- Killer Clowns From Outer Space
8- Aliens
9- Garden State (See this effin' movie)
10- The Punisher

In no particular order:

1. Army of Darkness: Bruce's shining moment. I have nothing but love for everything in this movie.

2. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World: I love O'Brian, and it was great to see his books translated onto the silver screen so flawlessly.

3. Being John Malkovich: Brilliantly abstract, darkly humorous, and a bit of a mind-f*ck. Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman rock.

4. Hellboy: Ron Perlman was the perfect Hellboy. He is what made the movie so compelling to watch.

5. Snatch: Amazing cast with a well-written and engaging script. Awesome film, even if you have to turn the subtitles on every once and a while.

6. Children of the Revolution: Odd little film about an Australian woman giving birth to and raising Stalin's lovechild. Half drama, half comedy.

7. Back to the Future (I, II and III): The only movies I can watch on constant rotation and never get bored of.

8. Pirates of the Caribbean: My love for pirates and the Royal Navy aside, this was eye-candy of the most spectacular kind. I'm breathlessly awaiting the sequel.

9. Goldeneye: My favourite Bond flick. Sean Bean put the "OH!" back in Double-O. (Yeah, I don't know what that means either.)

10. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Nazis, snakes, Sean Connery, and more Nazis. :tlove:

The Back to The Future series kicks serious ass.

To be fair, you do have Saving Private Ryan on your list :P

He survived all of those movies, he's clerly immune to death.

Cut his head off, "There can be only one..."

ZING! CQB just got Served.

SPR has better writing, directing, cinematography, acting and style than all of the movies on his list combined.(With the exception of master and commander, and Shrek to some extent. Haven't seen the passion yet, so I can't comment there)

1.) Battle Royale
2.) Casshern
3.) Star Wars...any of the old trilogy
3.) Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
4.) The Matrix
5.) Boondock Saints
6.) Kill Bill Vol. 1
7.) Blade
8.) Blade: Trinity
9.) The Punisher (2004)
10.) Spaceballs

It's hard to come up with these lists...
