Whats YOUR Favorite movie and why

[Galiant]

Just as the title says.

Mine:

Passion of Christ

Why:

You can really see jesus' suffering there. It made me cry alot

[Faiien]

well ive seen a lot of movies and i cant pick a favorite
every movie is different and i love it for a different reason
but i would say my top 5 of 2007 would have to be
The Bucket List-very good film, made me cry, awesome storyline
Juno-very funny real life situations, awesome actors
Superbad-its a classic, super funny
knocked up-again, another classic, very funny
Atonement-Beautiful storyline awesome movie

[singo]

I dont really have a favourite film, but when I am asked to pick one I usually say The Dambusters (old, black and white)

I choose it as a reaction to just about every "historical" film since, which have tended to be about as accurate as a spastic with a machinegun and nothing to rest it on. Whereas The Dambusters gets most of its facts right.

[IrishDutchman]

Ooh, tough one. Probably 'Sideways'.

It's funny without trying too hard, the acting is terrific, and the score by Rolfe Kent is great, and the characters are likeable, even though they're losers.

[Kingscrab]

Without a doubt. :_owned:

[femoimal]

"alien" ...reminds me of my mother.

[Skullflower]

Superbad, cause it fucking owns.

[Kingscrab]

"alien" ...reminds me of my mother. Your mother looks like Sigourney Weaver!?

I hit that.

[femoimal]

...not exactly the protagonist i had in mind, but my mother will be flattered.:D

That is, when she is done putting in a saliva cocoon the hosts of her future eggs.

[IrishDutchman]

Superbad, cause it fucking owns.

Haha, true. Best teen comedy ever!

[Icarus]

American History X

Edward Norton shines. It's in his niche, given, but it's a good niche. I can't think of anything to say besides you should see it.

[Borgorb]

Hot Fuzz

it is the only movie ever made to have over dramaticised paperwork

[Jimmy_the_saint]

One of the following:
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
Cloverfield (seen 4 times)
Transformers.

EDIT:
Snakes on a plane

[MattTheFighter]

Hmm...
I cant pick one so Top Five:

!Airplane
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy
SW: Return of the Jedi
SW: Revenge of the Sith
Futureramma: Benders Big Score

[Nostradamus]

Hmm, it's tricky. I LOVE the Matrix Movies, and King Kong (1930s and recent). But I also LOVE the Blade Movies (am I the only one that was disappointed with Blade 3?), Star Wars Movies, Lotr Movies, Meet the Parents and a tonne of other movies like L4yer Cak3, Casino Royale oooo... the Jason Bourne Movies! Aaaa! Too many movies to think of.

[SHISHKABOB]

End of Evangelion.

Because Asuka kicks unbelievable amounts of mass-produced Evangelion ass in it. The rest is nice.

[Polkaman]

Wow. I got a lot.
1. Balls Of Fury
2. Superbad
3. iRobot
4. Blades Of Glory
5. MIB (1 and 2)
6. Apollo 13

[TheOutcast]

The Condemned, because it was quite entertaining to watch the criminals get picked off one by one. And at the end, Steve Austin blows up the helicopter in which I got a laugh out of that. I also laughed at the part at the beginning when all the criminals were getting dumped on the island, then the one criminal falls on a spike. ;)

[Twitch6000]

I have to many favs
Juno
MiB 1 and 2
Saw 1 2 3 and 4
Scary Movie 2

[Skullflower]

[Gunmonk]

Debbie does dallas

Why: It is such a ground breaking film

[Zenox]

depending on genres:
Best comedy : Ace Ventura pet detective 1&2 made me pee from laughter.
Best Horror : Jaws 1,gave me a shark phobia everytime im at sea i hear dada..dada..dan dan dan *jaws theme*
Best Romance: 10 steps(or ways) to leave(or dump) a guy.
Best Sci-fi : Independence day

[Toucan]

Breaker Morant (http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/breaker-morant/clip2/)

Awesome old war trial movie.

[Battlecruiser]

Gladiator and Batman Begins are my current favorites. I guess it's the sense of honor that is depicted, and fighting for what you believe in. I get inspired by both.

[Tanis]

Schindler's List.

No words can describe it.

[Icarus]

I want to change my pick.

Zardoz

It's probably the most artistic and symbolic movie I have ever seen. Different times that I see it I always come out with some different message, some different theme of the movie, and it's not contrived at all.

plus it's got the best song of all time featured throughout the entire movie, beethovens second movement of the 7th symphony. *creams pants*

plus sean connery is front and center *creams pants again*

[Borgorb]

I originaly said Hot Fuzz but recent events have created a tie

A 1980s New Zealand film which used every kiwi joke imaginable, it revolutionised NZ films forever, with only a total cast and crew of 28 and partial nuidity
Now sharing my top title is................................................ ............Goodbye Pork Pie

If u havent seen it youre missing out

[Jimmy_the_saint]

oh god... someone needs to talk to this guy!




Im sick and tired of these motherfucking Numbers on this motherfucking forum. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! :P


I thought it was good. Only for that scene though

[Lithium]

1. The Protector
2. The One
3. The Matrix
4. 300
5. Napoleon Dynamite

woah.

[Twitch6000]

1. The Protector
2. The One
3. The Matrix
4. 300
5. Napoleon Dynamite

woah.
300 really didn't seem to great to me although I liked it,it just wasn't a fav.
The rest on your list though are great picks :D.(ofcourse this is just my thoughts ignore me if you don't care)

[cole]

Batman begins. Seriously that movie was epic...best batman movie ever.

[Thedutchjelle]

LOTR - It's basicly one story told in 3 movies becaues otherwise it's to large, so imo it's one fucking big movie.

Also good movies imo are K-19 Widowmaker, The Matrix - Smith fucking pwns, and the first 2 movies from the Alien-quadrogy (lol?)

There are probably more that I like but I only remember these at the moment.

@Zenox: I thought personally that independance day was a horrible horrible movie, but meh, taste differs.

[Dark_Soul74]

I liked Fight Club. It was neato.

[Mjolniir]

Aliens.
I identify with burke, and ash(alien). why does he have to die a horrible smiling death.

seriously, those things smile when they kill you.

but they're so beautiful, so deadly...i want one as a pet.

"So you want to fire me...say hello to my not so little friend!!!"

second would be Monty Python and the Holy Grail

"thou shalt blow thine enemies to bits, in thy mercy"

"she turned me into a newt... ... ... I got better"


@Dark_SOul74: you do realize that your avatar says "good day" in german right?

[TheBB]

Since I find it hard to rate movies against each other, I figured out a neat metric. If I go to watch a movie (in the theatre) and I spend the entire time engrossed in it, not once considering the fact that I'm actually in a theatre looking on a screen - but I'm really in the movie the whole time, then it goes on my all-time-best list.

The only ones on there at the moment are: Romeo + Juliet, Titanic, Der Untergang.

[Dark_Soul74]

@Dark_SOul74: you do realize that your avatar says "good day" in german right?Yes. I do.

That's a pretty good gauge, TheBB. I usually get too miffed at character/writer/plot stupidity to really enjoy a film. :)

[GenocideAlive]

Fight Club
The Royal Tannenbaums
The Matrix
Apocalypse Now
Gladiator
Aliens / Predator
Best of the Best (Kumate, Rocky, etc)
Transformers

I liked Batman Begins, it was definitely an awesome Batman movie, I just don't know if it was epic.

[GroG]

1. Umm.. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Hoth. Meeting Yoda. Han Solo in the asteroid belt. Cloud City backstab. Luke vs. Vader... and it's his father! It doesn't get better than that.

Other notables:
2. Troy. Hercules vs. Hector. 'Nuff said.
3. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Amazing choreography in the duels. I love Palpatine's character - so fucking devious. I wouldn't trust him to save my seat while I go to the bathroom, that's how fucking devious he is.
4. Predator. "Hey man, you're bleedin'." "I ain't got time to bleed." You just know shit is gonna get fucked up after those lines. Who know it was a friggin' alien in the jungle. Some guy who developed this movie came up with the main story, then went way off on a tangent and was like -- hey what if there is some bad ass invisible alien killing people and hanging their bodies up in the jungle instead of having Arnold go bust up a bunch of coked out drug dealers in some backwater 3rd world country, yeah that sounds like a good movie..
5. Big Trouble in Little China. If you haven't seen this, do it. You know what ol' Jack Burton always says..
6. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. All the good shit happens here - the baddies get owned, the heroes kick ass, and Gandalf rallies Middle Earth against Sauron.
7. X-Men: X2. Soooo much better than the first one (although I miss Toad and Sabretooth), lot's more fighting and the story is still good. Too bad X-Men 3 sucked.
8. The Notebook. Fuck you, fucking naysayer. Go get a girlfriend and then we'll fucking talk.
9. Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Uh, hello? T1000? That shit was amazing.
10. Mad Max: The Road Warrior. Probably the best action packed post apocalyptic movie I've ever seen. Plus he has a friggin' dingo.

[Toucan]

10. Mad Max: The Road Warrior. Probably the best action packed post apocalyptic movie I've ever seen. Plus he has a friggin' dingo.

Those are two of my all time favorites as well. :)
It's a shame Beyond thunderdome sucked so much though.

[TheOutcast]

I saw The Eye, and it was strange.
The part that actually scared me was the part with the elevator when the floating guy tried to sneak up on Jessica Alba.....

[Galiant]

Robin hood: Men in tights
Lol Spoof

[Skullflower]

How about The Godfather, because the Mafia is fucking cool.

[tzzA]

1: ANH.
Ground-breaking graphics and story, created MASSIVE universe, :shiftyl:Carrie Fisher </mild sarcasm>:shiftyr:

2: Holy Grail.
First time I watched it, I literally laughed for 2 days. Hilarious.

3: LOTR triloj
Other than /completely/ missing Tom B. and the Barrows, mostly accurate to the storyline, very good acting, sick armies :D

[Icarus]

I saw The Eye, and it was strange.
The part that actually scared me was the part with the elevator when the floating guy tried to sneak up on Jessica Alba.....
The entire movie was made for the one scene where you watch her dress

[TheOutcast]

The entire movie was made for the one scene where you watch her dress
That's why the movie was pathetic.... :rolleyes:

I watched Matrix Revolutions again, I think that is my new favourite.

[EvilEmpire]

A difficult question for me... Btw, GA, good selection.

Pi (I like messed up non mainstream movies)
Requiem for a Dream (I like messed up non mainstream movies)
The Matrix (i mean... srsly...)
Half Baked (a proper comedy)
Anchorman (a proper comedy with Will Ferrel)
Trainspotting (..Brit period.)
Event fucking Horizon (!!!)
The Company of Wolves (I like messed up non mainstream movies)
The Island (I like massive highway scenes)
Bad Boys II (yeah yeah, I like it, so what)(I like massive highway scenes)
Cloverfield (hated the 1st 20 minutes type of O.C. shit, but i see it as a decent new film)

Cloverfield's presence is a substitute for all apocalyptic movies that I like all the same.

[Galiant]

Nobody mentioned V for Vendetta?

[TheOutcast]

These three are the best!

Event Horizon, I mean, an awesome horror! A haunted space ship that traveled into a black hole and once it come back, the crew is mutilated and tortured. However, Cloverfield was quite different, has the "blair witch" point of view. Also, I forgot the awesomeness of the Matrix.

I liked Beowulf, because of the next-gen movie graphics.

[King_Critter]

For me, my favs are:

The Rundown -- awesome action (better then all the Matrix's, Die Hard's, what-have-you's and 300 put together) and hilarious.

Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back -- most epic of all the Star Wars movies.

Men In Black -- Funny. Extremely funny.

Serenity -- if anything deserves to be labeled as a "classic" it's this movie.

[GroG]

I forgot Serenity - great movie. I have the Firefly show too, such a great show they cancelled way too early ;p

Also, Event Horizon is fucking sick. My sister and I watched that when we were like 12.. ruined my life I tell you. Fucking wrong for a couple of kids to watch.. just wrong..

[tzzA]

Ooo! Serenity! Forgot that one.

I like Casino Royale a lot, actually.

[TheOutcast]

Ooo! Serenity! Forgot that one.

I like Casino Royale a lot, actually.
I hear Casino Royale was stupid because all Bond does is gamble, and I've heard that from five people. ;)

[GroG]

Sounds like you rely on your friends' opinion too much. I'd go see the movie, if I were you.

Also, another good one I had forgotten about is SuperTroopers. Fucking hilarious.

[Galiant]

nobody really vares for v for vendetta huh?

[Mjolniir]

blazing saddles

sheriff: put the guns down or the black guy gets it

sheriff: (squeaky voice) please, he's serious

crowd: we better do as he says


...i obviously haven't seen the movie in a while

[Toucan]

I hear Casino Royale was stupid because all Bond does is gamble, and I've heard that from five people. ;)
Casino Royale was an awesome movie, one of the best Bond's ever.

[ZeratulStukov]

*Alien Franchise (Because it owns you all)
*Predator Franchise (Same as above)
*Scary movie Franchise (WAS EPIC WTF COMEDY !!!)
*Naked Gun Franchise (Random funny stuff :D)

[TheOutcast]

I just saw Sunshine and it was well done. I'd see it again. :)

[mranderson]

1. Saw'z (They spoke to me)
2. Matrix (GO MR. ANDERSON PAWNZORZ THE SMITH! ><
3. V for vendetta! (it was my brother, my father... )

Good movies with plot, but I still have some problems with the matrix lol. I'm not a huge fan of comedies but they're pretty fun to watch. Not ever going to get in my top favs though.

8. The Notebook. Fuck you, fucking naysayer. Go get a girlfriend and then we'll fucking talk.


Not HER favorite movie, or "both" of your favorite movies it is YOUR favorite movie.

[VigilanteV]

1. V for Vendetta(I like those kinds of movies.)

2.300(There a little something I like called MADNESS!!!!)

3.All the Indiana Jones movies. (just can't beat them)

those are the ones that are tied for first.

[TheOutcast]

I want to see 10,000 BC. I fucking love movies like that, but only if it has good special effects.

[Zerg_eater]

Clovafield! I actually like the fact that it feels like im in a monster moveh!

[Vhaeraun]

V for vendetta was good, but by no means my favorite movie

I actually loved Charlie Bartlett. It's an awesome movie.

[Skullflower]

I want to see 10,000 BC. I fucking love movies like that, but only if it has good special effects.

What is that movie even about?

[TheOutcast]

What is that movie even about?
It's about a young mammoth hunter who tries to save his tribe.
