Which one?

I've not seen it yet, but my favourite is SoaP. Just because.

I have been watching "ROUNDERS" with Matt Damon and Edward Norton alot lately, it gets better each time you see it, especially if you have a love for poker.

Please tell me that second comment wasn't asking what "Star Wars" is....

I'll list 5 of my favorites:

On Deadly Ground (Steven Seagal)

Around The World In 80 Days (Jackie Chan)

The Tuxedo (Jackie Chan again)

Back To The Future 1, 2, and 3 (Michael J. Fox)
and last but not least:
10.5: Apocalypse (Star unknown)

No, I wanted to know which Star Wars film.

I have many favourites, but the first that pop to mind are The Princess Bride and A Night At The Roxbury :D

Oh, and of course, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail ;)

My favourite, The Shawshank Redemption, that film still sends tingles up and down my spine at certain parts (Mozart over the speaker in the prison yard :fluffle: ). God i love that film.

Great post....this is definitely in my top 3 all time movies...... Then again, I have never seen a BAD movie with Morgan Freeman in it....

Morgan Freeman can really make a movie :D The only film i have ever seen him in that i didn't like (the film i didn't like not him) was "Brice Almighty" that film just sucked. :(
I absolutely loved him in "Million Dollar Baby" the film wasn't that great but hey got in the ring and punched someone... lol, and his acting was class.

Life of Brian. Just for the controversy... and the comedy... and the pure, sheer, Python brilliance. With added Milligan!
That or V For Vendetta... blowing up the Houses of Parliament to the sound of the 1812 Overture and set in Britain? Love it...

These are the three backup movies that I carry on my Treo
Blazing Saddles -- Best Comedy of all time
The Magnificent Seven -- Best Western of all time
Caddyshack -- because I like it

Those are my backup movies because I can watch any of them over and over and because airline movies always suck.

I've been looking for a good drama to put on, but I haven't settled on the Best Drama of All Time, yet. I do have a crush on Audrey Hepburn, so there are a number of contenders, starting with Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I think you should definitely add Shawshank Redemption to your Drama list....

I love The Phantom of the Opera, especially the one from the 1920's starring Lon Chaney, even though the ending was terrible. I also like the 2004 version of The Phantom of the Opera, although perhaps not quite as much, since it's not really based on the original novel like the other movie is. (I know there are probably at least 15 other Phantom of the Opera movies, but I haven't seen them.)
I also like Star Wars. Airplane is another of my favorite movies.

My top three would be

Serenity- I feel one of the best sci fi films for a long time
Independence day- A classic
White Chicks- Its hilarious

Seen it. Like it. But after you know the end, it's not as dramatic. Besides, it doesn't have Ms Hepburn in it.

You should add it sheerly for the great acting, and effect it has emotionally on all that watch it.

Smokey And The Bandit

Had me fooled for a while, too. I never could figure out why Audrey Hepburn would do a movie like the Durham Bulls. Even with a pseudonym.

Chain Reation
The Day After Tomarow
Kingdom of Heaven
Braveheart
Armagedon
The Core

I kinda like epics and scifi thats close enough to the truth to scare the shit out of you. :D

The one that doesnt fit is Braveheart, its my wifes favorite

Citizen Kane. Yes, I'm a communist and my favorite movie is about a capitalist. And?
I find it hard to believe that a 12 year old from California is a communist.

Possibly Easy Rider, The Matrix, or Harold and Kumar Get the Munchies.

I really love "Mr. Ice Cream Man", a horror film written, directed by and starring Mack Hail. It's the most terrible film ever and the terribleness is what makes it. There's terrible acting, terrible camera work, a terrible plot and terrible everything else. It's hilarious and you must watch it.

The first Diehard or Enemy at the Gates. Diehard because it didn't make me think at all and Enemy at the Gates because it was interesting and exciting.

I have a couple...

2001: A Space Odyssee, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction, The original Star Wars trilogy (out of those, probably the Empire Strikes Back...), the Castle, Trainspotting, Donnie Darko, Schindler's List...could probably think of a couple more, but eh - I like some stupid movies like Dawn of the Dead too, just because.

and SoaP will be awesomeness movified.

This is Another "favourite" thread.

Here's my top 3:
1. Platoon
2. Forrest Gump
3. Rain Man

I have seen each at least 5 times, and I will keep coming back for more.

Smokey And The Bandit
redneck. :p

No seriously, I know for a fact that you're a redneck.

I find it hard to believe that a 12 year old from California is a communist.
Most twelve year olds are communist in the truest sense. Just as long as you keep spelling it with a lower case 'c'.

I like Farris Bueller's Day Off a lot, along with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (stoner movie goodness).

The original Star Wars trilogy is also excellent (NOT the special editions!!).

The movie of Woodstock. Close up there is Cidade de Deus and Spirited Away though.

Mine would be

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. A Beautiful Mind
3. Gladiator
4. Batman Begins
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. Crash
7. Se7en (ironic no?)
8. Donnie Darko
9. The Truman Show
10. Ocean's Eleven

Something like that (but then there are so many other classics that I hate excluding) - Heat, Insomnia, Road to Perdition, Aliens - all immense films.

Fight Club

and SoaP will be awesomeness movified.
Damn motherfucking right.

My all time favorite is V for Vendetta

As with the poster above, I have never been as affected by a movie as I was with V for Vendetta. It is easily, by sixty billion lightyears, my favourite film. Nothing else comes close.

More like T for Terrible.

I pity you.

I pity you.
The feeling is mutual.

The Shawshank Redemption

My Top 5 would probably contain:

- Snatch
- Trainspotting
- Goodfellas
- American Beauty
- Good Will Hunting

Someone mentioned Rounders on the first posts, I agree it's a great movie with two great actors, it's always nice to watch it again :)

Rather than go for a single favorite, I'll do categories
Sci-fi: Contact
Drama: The Longest Day
Comedy: Blazing Saddles
Animated: Shrek 2
Romance: The Phantom of the Opera (OK, I haven't seen many romance films)

The Wraith
Lost Boys

It's hard to say, but my favorites include The Silence of the Lambs, Amelie, The Matrix, Spider-Man, etc.
