Martin Lawrence" and "Dumb and Dumber feat. Jim Carry". Those guys crack me up. DanielP 04-28-2002, 12:04 AM Hrm.... i'd have to say its a tie between Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers both very dramatic :cool: netacore 04-28-2002, 12:22 AM I'd have to say 'Easy Rider' simply because it had the best end scene :) mindboggle 04-28-2002, 12:30 AM I would say there's a tie between Aliens and Independence Day (awesome visual effects) for me. And my favorite comedy would have to be Office Space. Runners up: Memento and The Thing (1982) Studio64 04-28-2002, 12:32 AM 1) Magnolia 2) Full Metal Jacket 3) Fight Club 4) Very Bad Things 5) Transpotting (Tied) 5) Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrells (Tied) alpha 04-28-2002, 01:08 AM Originally posted by Studio64 1) Magnolia 2) Full Metal Jacket 3) Fight Club 4) Very Bad Things 5) Transpotting (Tied) 5) Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrells (Tied) I have to say that Magnolia was one of the most weirdest movies that I have viewed. AI was a movie that would've been good except for the last half of the movie - what was Spielberg thinking? Black Hawk Down was a nice combo of drama and action tied in with realism and history. Shrek - I laughed so hard... LOL i really can't name a one-time favorite movie tho... but I happen to like stuff like Mission Impossible, The Thomas Crown Affair (very nice and creative movie), The Score, Ronin, Enemy of the State, The Saint, etc... (get a pattern going with these espionage/disguise/etc type of movies) :D jayjay 04-28-2002, 01:12 AM 1) Lost Highway 2) Blackhawk Down 3) Lord of the Rings 4) Office Space 5) Fight Club rey 04-28-2002, 01:25 AM 1. Sound of Music 2. Pride and Prejudice (w/ Greer Garson) 3. Matrix 4. Lord of the Rings 5. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 6. Peacemaker 7. Some disney movies These I can see over and over again (I've seen Sound of Music and Matrix more than 4 times already). I don't get bored so easily I guess. webarama 04-28-2002, 01:34 AM "Debbie does Dallas" lovelie 04-28-2002, 01:47 AM eraserhead the dark crystal beetlejuice 12 monkeys being john malkovich :cool: 9onlinehost 04-28-2002, 02:34 AM 1. green mile 2. a river runs through it 3. matrix Abu Mami 04-28-2002, 03:59 AM not in any particular order - A Boy and His Dog (definitely not a Disney movie) - Tampopo - Hot Shots (I, II) - Naked Gun (1, 22 1/2, 33 1/3) - Fantasia (the original) - Terminator II (as well as just about anything with Arnold Shwarzenegger) - Rush Hour and Mr. Nice Guy (great stunts and entertaining) (I've never seen a Sylvester Stallone movie.) mdrussell 04-28-2002, 04:40 AM Matrix, Saving Private Ryan and Enemy of the State are all pretty good.

Black Hawk Down Sniper Clear and Present Danger We Were Soldiers Don't call me crazy, call me American! :stickout - BC12 greengunboat 04-28-2002, 01:37 PM Originally posted by Tim_Greer #7: Snatch that movie rocks, im going to say its my favorite Aralanthir 04-28-2002, 01:53 PM - Jurassic Park (first one only, the sequels weren't that good) - Lord of the Rings - The Mummy phpjames 04-28-2002, 02:28 PM 1. Lord of the Rings 2. The Hunt for Red October 3. Back to the Future 1 & 2 ( 2 is better though ) 4. Austin Powers J Hero 04-28-2002, 04:19 PM "The Matrix" and "Trainspotting" Tim Greer 04-28-2002, 05:57 PM I just remembered some more, without trying to think about it. Schindler's List The Wedding Singer Life is Beautiful Reservoir Dogs Cast Away The Shawshank Redemption The BLair Witch Project Dogma Chasing Amy Clerks Mall Rats The Stand Interview with the Vampire Romper Stomper Naturtal Born Killers South Park; Bigger, Longer & Uncut The Green Mile Monty Python; The Holy Grail Monty Python; The Meaning of Life Silence of the Lambs AI Red Corner (Fill in the blank, I could go on forever, it seems like) I think I better stop. :-) I know I'm forgetting a lot, and I actually saw some pretty good one's lately, but I don't recall what they were. I wanted to see Death to Smootchie, but they pulled it from the theatres' after only 2 weeks or less. I will see Changing Lanes though, before that goes. kunal 04-28-2002, 06:04 PM here we go, not in any particular order 1. The Matrix 2. Greece 3. Herbey goes bananas 4. Top Gun 5. Weekend at bernies 6. Pelican brief umm.. thats all i can remmeber at this hour.. :D vipe 04-28-2002, 06:28 PM *gasp* No one has mentioned Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory? :) That movie and The Matrix are my favourites. OT: Does anyone find The Matrix DVD sound level messed up? It goes up and down, especially during the club songs. I find myself adjusting the volume through half way of the movie. dbzgod 04-28-2002, 06:34 PM I would have to say The Matrix. webx 04-28-2002, 07:04 PM Braveheart Gladiator The Shawshank Redemption The Score Office Space The Lion King Home Alone ;) The Fugitive and a few more... :stickout Lain 04-28-2002, 07:25 PM I have a wide range of tastes in films, never could decide which one were my favorites. But narrowed down, the list would consist of: - Benny and Joon - The Princess Bride - The Shawshank Redemption - Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Attack the Gas Station - Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Heathers - Wheels on Meals And I've noticed a bunch of you guys go for that action stuff. Perhaps you would like to try this Korean film called "Attack the Gas Station." You can find a review here (http://www.mediacircus.net/atgs.html). It was probably the most funniest movie I have ever seen. Ever. Plus it is mindlessly violent and you gotta give props to the hilarious English subtitles. It is a region-free DVD so no worries about player compatibility. 311 04-28-2002, 07:40 PM Mine was: Enemy of the State and Gladiator ;) TopDog07 04-28-2002, 11:06 PM A few more I just thought of... Delta Force, Delta Force 2, Delta Force 3 Operation Delta Force, Operation Delta Force 2 Rules of Engagement Enemy at the Gates Thirteen Days Saving Private Ryan The Thin Red Line The Rock The Green Berets Uncommon Valour Hamburger Hill .................................................. JayC 04-28-2002, 11:54 PM I could list movies and write about them all day, and still not have a firm list of my favorites. So I'll just list in no particular order some favorites that people should see, or see again if you have (and I'll comment that some of you people seem to think that movies were just invented last year! :) ). Apocalypse Now (not Redux, the original, though flawed, was better) Raging Bull Blade Runner (director's cut) North by Northwest Double Indemnity Chinatown Ran The Hidden Fortress Casablanca GoodFellas The Searchers High Noon The Usual Suspects Fight Club Fargo The Straight Story Brazil Spartacus Baraka Run Lola Run Why am I even bothering... this list would never end! webx 04-29-2002, 12:43 AM "Run Lola Run" and "Momento" are really out-of-the-way movies :cool: SoftWareRevue 04-29-2002, 12:49 AM Think I'll just list the movie I've watched more than any other: The Keep ScottD 04-29-2002, 12:53 AM Better Off Dead The Commitments Abu Mami 04-29-2002, 01:52 AM Oops, I forgot this one...

Rewdog 04-30-2002, 12:01 AM enemy of the state SwiftyHost 05-04-2002, 05:39 PM 1. Clerks 2. Chasing Amy 3. Dogma 4. Good Will Hunting (basically all kevin smith movies) Spider-man was good iamdave 05-04-2002, 06:01 PM Gladiator Silence of the Lambs web docta 05-04-2002, 09:56 PM My favorite movie? - Being There (Peter Sellers) MadSkilage 05-04-2002, 11:43 PM spiderman....at least for now ;) akashik 05-05-2002, 12:29 AM Originally posted by Tim_Greer Romper Stomper Naturtal Born Killers Hey Tim, If you haven't seen it look out for 'Once Were Warriors' - a similar vein the the above, but more confrontational, and more 'unsettling' to watch, but a brilliant movie from New Zealand (land of Lord of the Rings, Xena and Hercules) :D Highly violent protrayal of a Maori family falling apart in Auckland's 'ghetto' area. A big difference from those hollywood 'gang' movies is there's not a single gun in the whole movie. (300 pound 'Mongrel Mob' members tend to prefer the feeling of skin on skin it seems). Took a date to see it at the cinema when it came out and sat in the front row. She was visibly shaken by the end of it... possibly not the best choice in retrospect :) Greg Moore Tim Greer 05-05-2002, 12:50 AM Greg, thanks for the tip. My wife was telling me about that. I don't remember if she saw it and liked it, or if she just wanted to watch it because she heard it was good. Either way, it looks like I'll be watching it at some point. :-) appletreats 05-05-2002, 11:06 PM Office Space :emlaugh: Spiderman :confused: Moulin Rouge :eek: Gladiator :love: 2001: Space Odyssey :eek: :eek: :eek: weirdest thing I've ever seen. didn't make any sense at all, nobody talked for the first half hour, half of the movie was babies floating around and swirling colors. most confusing and completely pointless movie i've ever seen. but i liked it.. and i don't know why. :rolleyes: bobcares 05-06-2002, 04:22 AM Hi! My favorite is Lion King... A very nice movie... Antz has a great end... And Aladdin is cool... But Lion King is the best... a very well made movie.. Have a great day :) regards amar Abu Mami 05-06-2002, 04:38 AM Bambi versus Godzilla JayC 05-06-2002, 10:21 AM One that wasn't on my earlier list, because I hadn't seen it yet: Donnie Darko. OK, too soon to say whether it will stand up as a long-term favorite... but you should see it. .::DefCon::. 05-06-2002, 11:15 AM Originally posted by Intelligent Hosting Good Will Hunting MY FAVOURITE!! So deep & soul-touching (to me at least). :angel: :) Gordo 05-06-2002, 11:29 AM For humor in strange places, my all time favorite is the Hitchcock thriller, "Frenzy", a story about a necktie murderer. The chief inspector's wife is into gourmet cooking and those scenes are truly outrageous. scslawin 05-06-2002, 03:41 PM To me, it's a big TIE for MY fave: "Twelve Angry Men" "Glengarry Glen Ross" Man, that's entertainment. Steve jasonX 05-06-2002, 03:41 PM Hell yea, Donny Darko rules! Thats like, one of the best movies. Anyways, I can't believe no one has said CUBE. That is probably my all time faivorite.. Anyone who hasn't seen that should.. Unless you like movies with an expanation for everything at the end, and leave no room for imagination and discussion ;). -jason JayC 05-06-2002, 03:48 PM Originally posted by scslawin "Twelve Angry Men" "Glengarry Glen Ross"To me, Twelve Angry Men seems dated today; though I can appreciate its achievements. I'd forgotten about Glengarry Glen Ross, that should be on the list. And if you like classic dialogue-driven films, how about Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe? |
