to name some of my favorites...

ROFL... at the scene in "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas" where the guy is tripping. lmao... great scene.

Here's my list:
-Audition (live people being chopped into tiny pieces with a rusty metal wire by a freak)
-The clockwork orange (though not as good as the book. rape and violence)
-The fist of fury (Bruce Lee rules!)
-Das Boot (not any yankee propaganda. I like the nazi perspective)

Have you yet watched Ichi the killer? The movie I recommended to you few months back. I guess you'd like Oldboy too.

oh, and a different kind of disturbing war movie: Come and see (Idi i smotri, made in Soviet Union)

I find that movies that really stay with me tend to be children's movies. Aladdin, Lion King, Bambi, Shrek, Shrek 2, Harry Potter movies, Finding Nemo, Star Wars, (kind of a kid's thing, right?) LotR, etc.

I'd have to say my favorite movie of all time is "The Sixth Sense" - you just can't beat that one in my book. I also agree with another poster on:

The Green Mile
The Shawshank Redemption
Finding Nemo

To this list I would add the following:

National Treasure
The Incredibles
The Wizard of Oz (the original one)
The Usual Suspects
Dragonfly
Harry Potter (all of them so far)

Amityville Horror
Hannibal
The Silence of The Lambs
Full Metal Jacket! (From now on your name is Private Snowball!)
All Austin Powers film
Psycho (Its an oldie but goodie!)
Halloween

:eek: Should we be afraid for you?

:eek: Should we be afraid for you?

YES FEAR ME!

YES FEAR ME!
No, I didn't say fear you, I said fear FOR you. It's different. Fearing FOR someone is when you are worried about their mental health.

Eh I feel fine, I just happen to be a really big fan of the Horror Genre. I don't like the happy feely go lucky movies. Its just too happy. My girlfriend is the same way.

Mmm-hmm. I don't tend to like horror movies; they tend to be disappointing in whatever way. For example, "The Ring" was supposed to be scary. :rolleyes: I didn't even have one bad dream. I think "The Blair Witch Project" was supposed to be a psychological thriller, but let's be honest, if it were aired on TV and they bleeped out all the cuss words, only two or three words would still be there. Plus, they never actually showed what the opposition was. SUCKY! Oh, I've got more to say, but I wanna get off this negative thought cycle. It's not good for me.

The Good,The Bad and The Ugly
Braveheart
The Blues Brothers
The Longest Day
Die Hard
Raising Arizona

I'll think of some more

It is suspose to be a psychological horror. The reason you don't see the witch is that well, your not suspose to. I mean what is scarier, knowing what is after you, or not knowing what is after you? I agree, Ring one and Two sucked. I don't think they should even be considered as horror.

Knowing what's after you seems scarier to me. Not knowing just seems... stupid.

I will have to admit I have a certain fondness for old, cheesy vampire movies. :D

Ever see an old, cheesy Hammer Studios vampire movie called "Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter"? It's one of my cheesy favorites.

I like to think of this as a list of movies I'll watch again when they show up on TV, no matter what. This is a question that produces a different list every time it's asked, but here it is as I think of it right now:

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Lost In Translation
History of the World Part One
Poltergeist
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Real Genius
Bob Roberts
The Phantom Tollbooth (Chuck Jones at his finest)
The Manhattan Project
War Games
Ferris Beuller's Day Off
Animal House
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
American Beauty
A Fish Called Wanda
A.I.
But I'm A Cheerleader!
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Spirited Away
The Motorcycle Diaries
Sideways

...and there's many more, but that's all I can think of presently.

Last of the Mohicans
Lost Boys
Back to the Future- all
Indiana Jones- all
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
Braveheart
The Princess Bride (I cant help it, a great movie)

These are the few films that I've rated as 10s on the IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/):

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
A Christmas Story (1983)
Gandhi (1982)
The Godfather (1972)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
The Right Stuff (1983)
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Twelve O'Clock High (1949)

Of these films, the one I'm most likely to watch: the Empire Strikes Back. However, each I consider priceless and the type of thing everybody should see at least once.

Waking Ned Devine
The Full Monty
Wait Until Dark
Johnny Dangerously
Love Among the Ruins
The Princess Bride
Lady and the Tramp
Pumpkin

Silence of the Lambs, to a lesser extent Hannibal
Trainspotting
Snatch

Hmm. Lets see here:

Pulp Fiction
Sin City
Lord of the Rings [all three of em]

Right now that's my Big Three.

Whu? Nobody said The Big Lebowski yet!?!??!

So my list goes summat like this...

The Big Lebowski "He's got emotional problems man! You mean beyond pacifisim?"
Pulp Fiction Sooo its not completely original and I think the director is a little full of himself, but after this movie, i'll let him off
Patlabor 2: The Movie No normal anime, this one has a story line and no wacked special powers....which in my book equals good
The Usual Suspects I just realised that the Detective in this is also the Club owner in "A night at the Roxberry"....Plus it has Pete Postlethwaite in it and he rules...
Shrek Smashmouth in the soundtrack...nice
A Night at the Roxberry Score!!!

some others but I'm not awake yet...

Hmm... I'd have to say The Lord of the Rings trilogy. That, and The Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And Pootie Tang (I saw it just a few hours ago! FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!).

Fight Club
Seven
Twelve Monkeys
Hero
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Grosse Pointe Blank
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Warriors of Heaven and Earth
Equilibrium
Dog Soldiers


just a few that come to mind...

Equilibrium




one of the worst movies ever made, on par with battlefield earth.

Like the New York Times said,

It could only be dumber if it were longer.

Whatever floats your boat... many people seem to think the Star Wars films worth watching, whereas I think Lucas has made a career out of wasting film...

Personally, I think Christian Bale is very good in 'Equilibrium', and that the film is actually remarkably good for such a small budget.

A little derivative of Farenheit 451, perhaps - but none the worse for that.

Maybe it is just me - but I would rather make up my own mind, than be told by the 'New York Times' what I should like.

Key films in my understanding of film as a narrative (how pretentious is that??? eh????)-

Salesman-a landmark Verte (you probably now know that as "MTV/Real World editing) film following door to door bible salesmen. The last other person in my lonely region based his nation off of it. It's really an amazing film.

The Bicycle Thief-How to tell a story while making people think you're telling another story. It does as a film what To Kill a Mockingbird did as a sledgehammer (and I like that book...that's just how much I like this movie).

Terry Gilliam/Coen Brothers/ Juenet/W. Anderson-Stylish directors that don't bug me because they make it serve the story.

Sergio Leone-I've finally overcame and think this dude is the coolest.

Smoke-It was a way I thought about stories and interelationships.

American Splendor-I'm usually bothered by self-relfexive narratives, but this was done honestly and beautifully. And the use of documentary and narrative, and how it was used was eye opening to me (even though I had just seen an Iranian film that did that, this hit me more. Maybe because I wasn't as tired as I was in the Iranian film...) That monologue was great, too.

A Straight Story- ...

There are more, but my foot's asleep.

Fight Club

About narrative. I think that the biggest reason why European cinema is often seen as boring art cinema is because of a very different narrative style. Tradiotional Hollywood movie is much closer to the traditional Aristotlean (?) drama with huge emotions etc. European narrative since 1950's has been much more loose and down to earth. It tells little stories of the life of little people (huge generalization, e.g. Smoke's narrative and style is closer to traditional European than Hollywood style). Ending can be open or at least there's no need to end every little twist in the plot in the end.

I enjoy both styles but sometimes the need to end absolutely everything spoils some rather decent films e.g. Minority Report or LOTR3 (wtf, 3 endings in one film, I began to think that it would never end)

It's not like European film makers would not be interested to make huge action movies. They just don't have the money to do that. (then some of them go to Hollywood and make really bad action movies, like Jeunet or even worse Finland's "pride" Renny Harlin)

I think to a degree we're at the same impass the Futurists where at (sort of, if you squint) with Italian drama at the turn of the century. Drama was star driven (mainstream cinema operates on the star system), formulaic story telling (UNBELIEVABLE stress on the three act system, single protagonist narratives. To suggest that other peoples stories are going on during the one your watching is HERESY in screenwriter circles) that where just vehicles for the stars to do thier thing (how often do we need to see Sean Penn cry? The 'tough guy crying' thing wears thin when he cries all the time...) that people went to be seen rather than to see (date movie/worship of the opening weekend numbers.)

I think that there are people rebeling against this, though not in the same way as the futurists (in some cases thats a good thing.), but I do see a reaction to it. Tarantino, while he makes violent 'thriller' type material he constructs the narrative a very specific way. Most of the experimentation in narrative is in action movies these days. Which I makes a certain amount of sense.

Dr. Strangelove

Greatest movie ever made.


Turgidson:
Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Strangelove:
Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

de Sadeski:
I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Strangelove:
Thank you, sir.

Brilliant! Pure. Fucking. Genius.

Communism, fascism, militarism, whatever. They can all agree that a century long pussy party would be fantastic.

About Equilibrium...
one of the worst movies ever made, on par with battlefield earth.

Like the New York Times said,

It could only be dumber if it were longer.
I disagree, I enjoyed Equilibrium. The fight scenes were amazing, the rest was ok. But I fast forwarded Battlefield Earth, it's an order of magnitude worse than most rubbish films.

My favourites include: -
Blade Runner
Matrix (original only the others were very average)
Star Wars Trilogy (again original only)
LOTR trilogy (extended editions, the magnitude of this accomplishment is staggering)
Monty Python and The Life of Brian, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life.
A Fish Called Wanda (John Cleese's face!)
Shawn of the Dead
The Incredibles

I'm actually surprised that only a few of us have included it on our all time top 10 films ... and I'm hestitant to say it is age, because Scott's film still holds its own with today's stories.

The question, do you like the original ending or Scott's Director's cut? :)

My favourites include: -
Shawn of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead!! How did I forget Shaun of the Dead?!

"Raising Arizona" is so excellent-so many people never even heard of it. Now I have the backround "yodelling" in my head.

"You want to find an outlaw, hire an outlaw. You want to find a Dunkin' Donuts, call a cop."

one of the worst movies ever made, on par with battlefield earth.

Like the New York Times said,

It could only be dumber if it were longer.
I saw part of it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad. Still, I only watched part of it.

I'm actually surprised that only a few of us have included it on our all time top 10 films ... and I'm hestitant to say it is age, because Scott's film still holds its own with today's stories.

The question, do you like the original ending or Scott's Director's cut? :)

You know - I don't know... I think the only version I've seen is the Director's Cut... or if I saw the original ending, it's too long ago to remember, or has been subsumed into my Blade Runner viewing since. :(

My favourite Blade Runner moment is 'attack ships on fire' passage, which (I believe) was an on-the-set ad-lib... but quite beautiful. :)

Of course - the film always begs the question... how many Replicants do you see? (Not including animals). I have to answer (at LEAST) 6...

I'm actually quite a fan of all the adapatations from Dick's paranoid distopian stories.... Blade Runner, Screamers, Total Recall (the weakest of the group), Imposter, Minority Report and Paycheck.

You reminded me of "Last of the Mohicans"- you mean the one with Daniel Lewis, right?

if so, I got the soundtrack to it on cd-its awesome!!

Yea thats the one. I have the sountrack too ;)

1. Blade Runner (seen it several hundred times in the movies, even more on video)
2. close second: Brazil
3: Dark Star

Others: NBK, all Tarantino movies, Shrek (1 only, 2 is not so great), Willow,
China Swordsman (1 only, forget the rest) Chinese Ghost Story (all 3)
Wag the Dog of course, can't remember any more at the moment.
Oh yeah, The Princess Bride too.

Willow.

Ha!, I almost forgot about that movie. I havnt seen it in years.

What do you think A Scanner Darkly will be like?

I guess you'd like Oldboy too.
I found Oldboy to be the most disturbing film i ever watched. Not because of the shown brutality, but the entire setting, someone destroying another ones psyche over the course of years.

Films i like:
Ghost in the shell
Seven Samurai
Hardboiled
Bride with the white hair
A better tomorrow I&II
Die hard
Night on earth
Boondock Saints
The usual suspects
Yojimbo
Detroit Rock City
Casablanca
Taxi Driver
Like a raging bull
Easy rider
Citizen Kane
Duel project: Aragami/2ldk

Again, such a good list that I have to write down those that I've not yet seen.

Oldboy is quite disturbing. It handles such difficult issues and shows the dark side of human nature. I heard they are going to remake in Hollywood. I was quite surprised. I though incest would be too much for them.

i have always wanted to list all my favourite films:
amelie
city of god (cidade de deus)
donnie darko
clockwork orange (although i haven't seen it)
nightmare before christmas
the rocky horror picture show....
erm.....generally feature films of retro cartoons...
erm a film that my friend made (it won a competition in a place that begins with 'b'.) but i can't remember the name. it begins with an 'e']
the muppets
team america: world police.
lots of things with ewan magregor
the birds (alfred hitchcock)
queen of the damned
crouching tiger hidden dragon
the green mile
edward scissorhands
almost anything by tim burton
and lots of other films which i can't remember at the moment...
things i havent seen: easy rider, house of flying daggers, 2046, big fish, beetlejuice, ...that kind of thing.

phew! long post...

clockwork orange (although i haven't seen it)


:confused: Some favourite film you got there...

The Day After Tomorrow. 'Nuff said. :D

EDIT: god damn f@&$ "Internal Server Error"'s! :mad: :mp5: :gundge:

One Flew Over the Coo-Coo's Nest
Braveheart
Shawshank Redemption
Good Will Hunting
The Exorcist
Seven
The Quiet Man
Legends of the Fall
Silence of the Lambs,Hannibal
American HIstory X

and anything with Clint Eastwood in it.

I'm glad to see someone recognizing the Duke (The Quiet Man). John Wayne may not have been the most versatile actor in the world, but within his limitations, he was damn good.

My personal list:

LOTR Trilogy (Has to be considered one MASSIVE epic)
Spider-man (both, best comics adaptation EVER)
The Incredibles
The Quiet Man
True Grit ("Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!")
Top Gun (Who cares about the acting, great camera work!)
Seven Samurai (Kurosawa rocks! Gotta see more of his stuff)
Good Will Hunting (Great dramatic turn by Robin Williams)
Good Morning Vietnam (And great comedy by Robin Williams)
The Lion King

...and too many others to mention. As You can see, my choices are all over the map.

Knowing what's after you seems scarier to me. Not knowing just seems... stupid.


I'm not exactly sure who originally said it, but basically they said that our most intense fear is the fear of the unknown. Let's face it, our imaginations can usually come up with something far worse than rreality ever could be. As a kid, were'nt you ever scared of unseen monsters lurking under the bed/in the closet/just around the corner?

Waking Ned Devine
The Full Monty
Wait Until Dark
Johnny Dangerously
Love Among the Ruins
The Princess Bride
Lady and the Tramp
Pumpkin

Waking Ned Devine is a great movie. Hurricane is also a very good movie that people should see. Denzel Washington is awesome in this movie and should have gotten best actor for it instead of that peice of crap Training Day.

What do you think A Scanner Darkly will be like?

Optimistic.... it's one of those things where you have to wait and see, though... I mean, "Total Recall" sounds good on paper... :)

Mine are:

Braveheart
Michael Collins
Der Untergang
Gettysburg
Glory
Gallipoli
The Bounty
