Favorte Movie of all time?

[Zappy]

Here is a nice off-topic question state your favorite movie. I have so many i don't know what to chose i would have to go with Black Hawk Down or Tears of the sun for action. Comedy hmmm i would say Animal House or National Lampoons: Christmas Vacation.

[wn.]

I'd have to go with "Enemy at the Gates"... gotta love a good sniper movie.

[Underoath1233]

Umm.. there are two old school movies.. one being Black Hawk Down and the other being Saving Private Ryan .. gotta love war movies eh?

[[RmC]S!lveR]

I agree. Those two movies kicked complete ass.

I loved Accepted too. Probably the best comedy I've seen.

[marmil]

Even though they are both awesome movies I would hardly consider "Black Hawk Down" (2001) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) to be old school. Come on, movies have been around for about a hundred years now. :rolleyes:

I'd have to go with "Ghost Busters" (1984).

[Loffy]

Come and See (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_See) WWII, Soviet Union, 1943, during some hard times.

Being There (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_There) Slow comedy (Peter Seller's best performance I think).


Two very different films that I recommend.

[Tejstar]

I often remember this movie when trying to out snipe someone on the fuel dump!

[b0rsuk]

Blade Runner . It's dark, moody, and great without being pretensious.

[Tejstar]

The Seven Samuria is one of my favourites, nothing comes close to this Kurosawa's masterpiece!

[k0z4k]

Matrix and Shrek @_@

[[RmC]S!lveR]

Yeah, lol. The Matrix and Shrek were good movies too, and marmil is right - They aren't old school... and Ghostbusters was an amazing movie. :D

[k0z4k]

yeah, Ghostbuster r0x

[meewosh47]

Heat and Once upon a time in America

[Dark Matter]

Happy Gilmore FTW!

[TheEnigma]

Comdey: Shaun of the Dead

Otherwise Black Hawk Down, or the Bourne films.

[Chris]

Blade Runner . It's dark, moody, and great without being pretensious.

Yeah its a really great movie, I have it on dvd and just watched it again last night, I never used to get it as a child but watching it again makes me really appreciate it more than used to.

My favorite film would be Empire Strikes Back along with other 2 films in original trilogy.

Close runners up would include:

Mad Max trilogy, kind of like star wars in way first one was good second one was best and third was spoiled somewhat with teddy bears/kids.

Die Hard trilogy, whats not to like about Die Hard, best action films for me.

[murka10]

Black Hawk Down
Armageddon
and Matrix(only first movie cuz the others are booooring)

[Jeebs]

Billy Eliot

[urwathrtz]

Tied with Caddyshack and the Original Star Wars trilogy

[ruE]

"Cars" ....since im forced to watch it with my son on a daily basis.... LOL

[Penn]

Not really a movie but it's pretty much the best thing ever shown on TV or to grace DVD and that's Band of Brothers.

[ruE]

band of brothers Rocks!
good call

[Dieulepere]

Dogma
clerks 1 and 2.

Kingdom of heaven too....

[dodgysod]

we were soldiers

[Abbor]

Blues brothers

or

The Champ...

[Apos]

My two favourite films are:
- Matrix Trylogy (Agent Smith was cool ;))
- Saving Private Ryan (D-Day rox ;))

[donny]

Saving Private Ryan is my best movie. Besides it, i like Godfather, Once upon a time in America, Crash, Jason Bourne Series (Identity, Supremacy and coming Ultimatum), Black Hawk Down, The Last Samurai and Matrix Trylogy.

If we talk about TV shows, so Band of brothers, Heroes and Prison Break rock :)

[no!se]

Donnie Darko, Requiem for a dream, Lost Highway :)

[KlosterKatten]

A tough one, but the one who touched me the most was probably Gladiator :)

[Eonfge]

Saving private Rian
Matrix (all 3)
Der Untergang (about Hitler, german movie)

[urwathrtz]

"Cars" ....since im forced to watch it with my son on a daily basis.... LOL
Had to sit through that with my kids. Didn't find it that funny. Now Curious George was great.

[Zappy]

Comdey: Shaun of the Dead



thats is a funny movie loved it

[Squishy]

Star Wars of course.

Then again I was 5 years old in 1977 when it was released.

[Zappy]

Green Street hooligans was another movie that i happen to come across and was excellent

[Penn]

Green Street is a hollywood remake of a classic film called "The Football Factory". If you liked green street you should really seek out the football factory and give it a watch.

i did see that now that you mention it..forgot about it. yes it was a remake football factory is very good as well.

[Hakuryu]

My favorites are always changing, but atm I'd have to say Alien vs Predator is my current favorite. Never went to see it in the theater because I thought it would be dumb...taking 2 movie monsters and pitting them against each other just sounded like a formula for a flop.

[no!se]

Der Untergang (about Hitler, german movie)

Oh yeah. That is definately a movie I can encourage everybody to watch. But I doubt there is a english translation? (And most propably it will loose a lot of its flair in a translation)

[Chris]

It turned out crap, the original films they based open are way better and much more of a pleasure to watch.

[donny]

Der Undertag is one of the best movie made by our west borderer (im talking about Germany of course:P).
If u like german movies, im ordering Das Experiment also (:

[Skymaster]

Band of Brothers and maybe Spider-man 3 ;)

[Monstro]

I'm going to have to say Alphaville, Tron or Avalon.

[{SAS}TB]

True Romance (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108399/)

Jacobs Ladder (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099871/)

Midnight Express (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/)

Heat (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113277/)

Leaving Las Vegas (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113627/)

[Crux]

Lord of the Rings..

[murka10]

[fusen]

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Snatch

[k0z4k]

I wonder why nobody said: "300 is my favourite movie! I just love that muscular guys with pants and sticks who's yells: 'Sparta!!!!'"

[Chris]

Midnight Express (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/)

Also another great movie, haven't seen it in a while though, the ending wasn't too great I thought compared to rest of film.

[Trusk]

Too many to list... however:

Star Wars
Se7en
Event Horizon
Nosferatu (yes, the 1922 one, watch it for free at http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-6185283610506001721&q=nosferatu

[Skymaster]

i forget 300
SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Radiohead]

Matrix and Black Hawk Down. these are so awesome! Also Saving Private Ryan and BOB (Band of Brothers - Actually it's not a movie but for TV) are nice, too.

[Wiman]

I'd have to say Enemy at the Gates.

[Skymaster]

Did someone watch "Pirates of Silicon Valley"? nice movie too :D

[marki]

the godfather for sure. but there are much more nice movies and it would take too long to list em here... like most of tarantino etc

and yeah, "brigada" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337898/) was also freakin great :o

[JiggaJigga]

"A Fish Called Wanda" Was by far the best and funniest movie of all time. I liked it so much. That's the best comedy movie ever. (apart from south park)

My favorite action movie would be Black Hawk Down.

[Lanz]

Maybe not the best movie of all time but one that made me laugh like hell:
The Big Lebowski

[Stickb0y]

Star wars or Lord of the Rings

[2112(AWG)]

Pink Floyd The Wall for me

Although Black Hawk Down would no doubt be in my top 10 favorites. My favorite DVD I own is Band of Brothers.

[Mr_Meow]

I'd say "Band of Brothers" But it's not exsactly a movie.

But hey! i'm going to say that anyway :P

And all the Rocky's they are awesome ;)

[f4natik]

The best movie overall would be Pulp Fiction. I've watched that movie at least 30+ times and somehow it doesn't get old. Resevoir Dogs is a really close 2nd. Obviously I like Tarantino's work.

[Dziadu]

The Day After Tomorrow and Little Man ;)

[BenGmanUk]

Hmm tough one. Probably full metal jacket as a war film I think...

[Twain]

The Hot Shot movies:) You laugh all the time

[donny]

Yesterday i watched "Cannibal Holocaust"... Jesus, sick movie, Brazillian cannibals eat alive movie group, who is making a documentary film about those people. Something like "Blair Witch Project", movie group disappears left a movie behind them.

That film is forbidden in 15 countries and its from 1980. Why forbidden? Coz they murdered animalas when they was creating this and whole movie is so realistic, even people thought, that they was seriously eating.

Watch it ;d

[=[ETw]= MARLOS]

THX-1138 & Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[jammie_d]

Hard Decision, but:
Donnie Darko,
Black Hawk Down,
Godfather,
and Earthed (Mountain Bike video :P)

[k0z4k]

Jarhead and Spy Game

[CodE-E]

Hmm...

The Terminator

or

Pulp Fiction

[Pseudo]

[Moncealyo]

[Penn]

I saw Spiderman 3 today, and that one was damn good! :D

How good is it in comparison to 1 & 2?

[Zappy]

with spiderman 3 the action special effects etc.. was amazing storyline was good it did have some cheesy parts (but i guess thats a givin) as far as comparison to 1&2 i would say a little better than 2

[Oompa]

Revolver! Not available in the US for unknown reasons, but it's so amazing. Fight Club and Snatch are also good.

[1/2 dead]

I'd have to go with "Enemy at the Gates"... gotta love a good sniper movie.

i love that movie, in fact i wanna buy it, the only good ww2 movie about russia, also the thin red line is also good

[Dead_Stop]

hard to pick one so here's a selection

The Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Goodfellas
Scarface
Pulp Fiction
The Empire Strikes Back
Star Trek II

[Toniak.47]

- American Pie: Band Camp
- Saw 3
- Black Hawk Down
- 8 Mile

[Hawk2]

Shudder- at the thin red line being good comment, hadnfull of americans take out fortified jap position... thats when I stopped watching it!


Bondock saints
Brotherhood of war - korean but good.

[frankieg]

I saw a scarface mention but it was in there with like 5 other movies.Scarface is bloody it has drugs,gangsters,sweet cars,car bombs,boobs,guns,chainsaws,tigers,and of course pacino -no better movie in my book

[iLuyshin]

Their are so many movies i love i just can't decide!

[SniperSteve]

SPR would be my favorite.

[Kurayamino]

The Matrix was very cool. But Requiem For a Dream!

[JAM]

I've got loads of favorites, but in these situations I always say Ghost in the Shell - I just love it.

[LTF_Savage]

Even though they are both awesome movies I would hardly consider "Black Hawk Down" (2001) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) to be old school. Come on, movies have been around for about a hundred years now. :rolleyes:

I'd have to go with "Ghost Busters" (1984).

Yeah, I read that and thought maybe I am WAY outta place here....lol. Any movie that has arms an legs gettin' blown off is on my fav list (you all know the ones). This may show just how old I really am...but my FAV movie of all time = BEN HUR


It just doesnt get any better then that imo, altho I am an ardent sci-fi fReAk.

[Stektr33]

Did someone say "meow"?
Come on.. for comedy, you gotta love Super Troopers!

For war/action:
- Band of Brothers
- Black Hawk Down

For CG:
- Nothing tops Monster's Inc., and Cars comes after that.

For "ancient" movies:
- Gladiator
- Rome (HBO series)

For long long long movies with a great story:
- Shawshank Redemption

For "making a mark" type of movies:
- Matrix (didn't like #2 though)
- Memento
- A Scanner Darkly

For the "whodunit" type of movies:
- The Usual Suspect
- Inside Man

that's all i can think of right now :)

[Zappy]

- A Scanner Darkly



how good is this one i saw it but haven't rented it yet

[=[ETw]= MARLOS]

Thx-1138
Dark Star
Star Wars

[Stektr33]

how good is this one i saw it but haven't rented it yet

i thought it was good.. i think the cartoon special effects that they did was really cool and it made me think that they were going for the shock factor similar to matrix. story's a little slow, not much action.. and just a minor twist to the plot. i think it's worth checking out.. i imagine it one of those movies where you like it or don't, nothing in between.

[Tropenfieber]

Lord of the Rings
Star Wars (all)
the Godfather I+II
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

[Javert]

My favorite movie would have to be Star Wars (Ep. 4).

Others include Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Casablanca.

[Kaji]

Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead (British Comedy FTW)
Deja Vu
Night at the Museum
Spider Man 3
Smoking Aces (mmm alicia keyes.)

[Reuben]

My absolute favorite movie of all time is John Water's Pink Flamingos. Yes, the movie were Divine ate a real piece of fudgy dog crap, and I laughed untill I almost pissed my pants.

Some others are Army Of Darkness, HATED, Star Wars, Caligula (When you got past the porn, it was a decent movie about Caligula), and Heavy Metal.

[JAM]

Where Eagles Dare > Saving Private Ryan, etc.

[Afterglow]

Equilibrium. It was just brilliance.

[Baldrick]

The Girl Next Door
Green Street

[Dazzamac]

Shawshank Redemption
