Braveheart IS awesome.

And what's the difference between a movie and a film? They are the same thing.

Braveheart IS awesome.

Film. Is far more cultured.
Movies are for the shuffling masses that clog up the smell of my perfumes and dirty the streets. Hrmph!

The Princess Bride
Labyrinth
August Rush
The War

or........those are the movies I watched within the last 3 days.....yeah, you choose

Captain Kronos
http://www.terra.es/personal/prometeo/otrofilm/kronos3.jpg

Braveheart IS awesome.

the acting is terrible, as is the "characters" and the plot is fairly terrible too (though you can't really pin this on living people)

And what's the difference between a movie and a film? They are the same thing.

Movie = little plot made up for with either high budget explosions or gore e.g. the Saw movies

Film = Art form e.g. Devils backbone

Lilja 4-ever. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300140/)

It is very emotionally draining, though, so if you're used to vapid, Hollywood fluff, you may be in for a very rough ride watching it.

Tillsammans (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203166/), by the same director is also very good and much more forgiving.

The Godfather I-III
Rocky
Spaceballs
Monty Python & quest for the Holy Grail
Matrix Trilogy

Falling Down. Go see it now.

Lawrence of Arabia is really good, too.

Grave of the Fireflies is a really good look at the real price of war.

It's A Wonderful Life is a good movie any time of the year.

It's A Wonderful Life is a good movie any time of the year.

Every year, my dad, brother and myself do a MST3K on that movie when my mom watches it. :)

Waking Life.

Princess Bride is the greatest movie ever created.

Dark City is the best noir movie ever created

The Departed is the best cop/crime movie ever created.

Equilibrium.

Badass movie. :mp5:

Equilibrium.

Badass movie. :mp5:

Supporting vote for GPB. One of the best, and most under-rated movies around.

The Princess Bride
Labyrinth
August Rush
The War

or........those are the movies I watched within the last 3 days.....yeah, you choose

The first two of these are definitely two of the greatest movies ever made. Especially Labyrinth. Sooo many levels... sooo much to think about. I'm still finding new depths in that movie and I've been watching it for two decades.

Maybe "The Last Unicorn" also, since it has so much in common with those two. :)

Film = Art form e.g. Devils backbone

Another very good choice.

Princess Bride is the greatest movie ever created.

Dark City is the best noir movie ever created

The Departed is the best cop/crime movie ever created.

Princess Bride and Dark City, both awesome. Not seen Departed, but isn't it a remake of a Japanese, (or Korean...? not seen the original) movie anyway?

"Hero" is truly lovely. Others that have been listed already... The Prestige, Equilibrium, Dark City, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth. The Last Unicorn is very good, too.

I also like The Fountain. The Usual Suspects. Mulholland Drive. Seven. Twelve Monkeys. Sixth Sense, etc

Supporting vote for GPB. One of the best, and most under-rated movies around.
Seconded ... er, thirded, i guess. :)

I hope the make Wicked into a movie...

And what's the difference between a movie and a film? They are the same thing.

Pretentiousness.

For those who like jets....hows about:

Top Gun

Braveheart did it. I can't stand those oh-too-historically-accurate movies.

And I just can't stand thinking of Di Caprio's mercenary-accent.

monty python and the holy grail

I hold the distinction of being the only person on the planet who hates that movie. :D:(:p

Braveheart did it. I can't stand those oh-too-historically-accurate movies.

Haha, fair enough. I saw Braveheart when I was...7? I still love it, even with all its inaccuracies.

queue the elderberry jokes.......Now!

Supporting vote for GPB. One of the best, and most under-rated movies around.

Agreed. I mean, c'mon! A hit hitman-movie/romantic comedy, what's more creative...and funny?

Marty: [after shooting a guy three times and bashing his head in with a skillet] "Debi, I'm in love with you! And I know we can make this relationship work."

Debi: "You're a psychopath."
Marty: "No, no. Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for money. It's a job.... That didn't come out right."

Haha, fair enough. I saw Braveheart when I was...7? I still love it, even with all its inaccuracies.

It's not as enjoyable when Robert the Bruce is your ancestor. I even have relatives named after him. :(

Rollerball (The James Caan version, not the recent dreck)

I have naught respect for that film, it was a direct cause in me getting beaten up by older boys in my youth.

Shit I never even saw the damn thing, but when the shout 'Rollerball' went up, you could find me running hard and fast!

"Awesome" for what reason? Or just "awesome" overall using the actual definition of the word, "inspiring awe"?

The following, then is a list of films that "awed" me in some way when I saw them.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
The Right Stuff
Glory

E.T.

Marty: I freaked out, I joined the Army, and now I'm a professional hitman!
(Jeremy Piven): You get dental with that?

Classic. I don't know about aweseome, but classic. The shootout with Aykroyd near the end is intense while sill bieng funny. I love it when a movie can do that.

Equilibrium

The idea of the gun kata is pure comic book B.S. but they pull it off believeably enough to tell a great story.

Shit, heh and one of my ancestors is the chap responsible for taking his heart on the crusades!

Except Robert the Bruce was not actually an assshole. He is just portrayed as one in the movie.

I hope someone makes a movie about Mel Gibson someday, and I get to direct it. :D
