I LOVE "Kill Bill"

The Amityville Horror!

No series has sucked me in quite like "The Matrix".

i could be a good little troll and start bitching about Kill Bill... but i'll shut up and just say the best movie is either Brewster's Millions, Laputa, or Wayne's World

Priscilla - Queen of the desert. :)

You didn't liek Kill Bill?

God, I'm so tempted to say Episode V just for the reaction - but no.

You didn't liek Kill Bill?
*cough*teh suck*cough*

But only 2 - I kinda liked 1

Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile...three of my favs

a bridge to far or the longest day

The Right Stuff, "There was a demon that lived in the sky."

Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile...three of my favs
Pulp Fiction? That was unbelievably pointless. I liked "Get Shorty" as well.

Pulp Fiction, Team America : World Police. Can't decide between the two.

Yea, The Right Stuff was good.
Let's see . . . Spaceballs, any Jim Carrey movie, Ray, LOTR 3, and I'm dying to see 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove

shaun of the dead funny as hell

SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!!!! If you have not seen this movie, do.

Yea, The Right Stuff was good.

If you read 2001 and liked then go ahead and watch it. I pretty mcuh hated the book and the film is just as bad.

Dr Strangelove is fantastic

brilliant film :D

Music From Another Room :)

brilliant film :D
Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!

*becomes conscious*

Oh no. Did I randomly quote badly again? Sorry, it's getting like a reflex now.

Lord of the Rings, of course.

Movies are ok, but Law and order is better! :)

My favourite movies include: Waking Life, Requiem for a Dream, Garden State, American History X, Donnie Darko, Office Space and SLC Punk. Snatch and Fight Club were also really good.

Are u outta your mind?
But Jerry Orbach was a great actor.

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb was a superior movie.
THX-1138
Dead Poet's Society
Arsenic and Old Lace: "But there are 13 bodies buried in the celler!"
Falling Down: "God bless the working stiff!!"

Lord of the Rings
Kill Bill vol 1 & 2
Real Genius
Top Secret
G-Savior
Jack Frost (killer snowman)

I fucking LOVE SLC Punk! It shows no mercy to "hardcore punks". It's funny, it's got a lot of inside jokes, and it's wild.

For Love & Basketball :fluffle: ;) :D

For Love & Basketball :fluffle: ;) :D
Heh. I've been sigged. That's two and counting....

...still two...

Lawrence of Arabia no doubt. After that it's Citizen Kane.

Yeah, I believe in the same exact thing so I decided to quote it.

Lawrence of Arabia is one hell of a good movie.

I'd say either The Matrix or Star Wars.

And yet no-one has said The Postman OR Waterworld! What is wrong with you people :D :p :D

Dune!!!
It was a good film, though sullied by the fact that it was based on book that was so far and beyond superior (imo).

Usually on adaptation I try and see them as two seperate entities. But I cannot in this case.

I fucking LOVE SLC Punk! It shows no mercy to "hardcore punks". It's funny, it's got a lot of inside jokes, and it's wild.

Indeed, good movie. Also Empire Records, and anything with Bruce Cambell. That guy is a B-movie genius. If you liked Evil Dead, check out The Hazing.

Bruce Campbell kicks total ass.

Only somewhat recent movies I've seen is The Last Samurai (great) and Something's Gotta Give (good).. I usually like anything Jack is in.

Haven't seen either Kill Bills. If its as action packed as the advertisement suggestetd, I'll dig it. Plus I usually like Quentin Tarantino's stuff.

Some movies I like, own or have recorded atm are..

What about Bob--Braveheart--Apocolypse Now--Easy Rider--Scarface--Caddy Shack--Patton--Deer Hunter--Jurrasic Park--The Hustler--Cool Hand Luke--Stand By Me--War of the Roses--Forrest Gump--Hud--King Pin--Boom Town--As Good As it Gets--House of Sand and Fog--Dances with Wolves--Bull Durham--Racing with the Moon--Little Women(1949)--Grapes of Wrath--The Old Man and the Sea--Lust for Life--Spartacus--Galdiator--Julius Ceasar--It Happened One Night--Bringing Up Baby--The Lady Eve--Sergeant York--The Longest Day--The Ten Commandments--Shane--Splendor in the Grass--The Big Sleep--Father of the Bride(1950)--The Apostle--The Magnificent Seven--Good the Bad and the Ugly--Unforgiven--Godfather--Trapped in Paradise--Raising Arizona--Peggy Sue Got Married--Giant--Snatch--American Pie--Shawshank Redemption--Euro Trip--Something about Mary--Thelma and Louise--Pulp Fiction--Everybody's All-American--National Lampoon's Vacation ..


I'll stop now.. :p that's enough

That movie was gold. I don't know why so many people have problems with it --- I mean come on, the battle scenes were incredible, the acting was great, the music was superb, and overall it was "fantastic".

Dr Strangelove is my all time favourite. Utter brilliance.

Akira is a very close second though.

Mr president.... we cannot allow, a mine shaft gap!

That's my personal favourite. No real reason, it's not even the funniest line. Just the whole atmosphere at that part of the movie. it's a masterpiece.

I wanna see Dr. Strangelove. I know I'd like it

I liked the part when Dr. Strangelove's arm was acting up. The Russian agent was starting to crack up!

I can't do a favorite. Some auteurs I like-
Kubrick, the Coen Brothers, Tarintino (but not for the reasons you think), ...crap, my mind blanked..., oh-Leone is new one I've finally come around on after really watching Once Upon a Time in the West, Gilliam, Smith (shutup).

Some I like-
Smoke, The Straight Story, Triplets of Bellville, The Bicycle Thief (pretentious, I know), Salesman...some others I'm not thinking about right now...some that have already been mentioned so I won't...

:eek: Comprehensive to say the least, well done organising that.

It was a breeze making the list, too.
