What's your favorite movie(s)?
I honestly haven't any idea. The Butterfly Effect is up there, along with a few more epic releases (Lord of the Rings is an obvious one, Star Wars...)
There are plenty of comedies I love but they wouldn't make it to my favorites because I consider a favorite to be an escape from reality, not a mockery of it.
I like movies that make me think. Not those "made to make a billion" crap.
My top favorites at this moment are:
American Beauty
Mirrormask
I'll name more later, my head hurts and I can't think.
- Alien, and Aliens...
- Jaws
- Hot Shots 1 and 2
- Scary movie 1, 3, and 4... didn't like the 2'nd
- Loaded Weapon
- All 3 Naked Gun movies (gotta buy these)
- The Blues Brothers
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights (gotta buy htis one too)
Do Cartoon movies count too..? Anime movies included..? :o
Saw
Shaun of the dead
Oldboy
Identity
Sin City
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
Tombstone
Die Hard + Vengeance (2nd one wasn't really that good)
transformers the Movie (hey I'm a big Transformers fan :Ecool: )
Hot Shots 1 and 2

Loaded Weapon
All 3 Naked Gun movies
The Blues Brothers
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Mean Machine (the one with Vinnie Jones)

I really do like movies :Epleased:
^I've noticed that both Micki and you have The Blues Brothers on your list.
I assume you're talking about the original? O.o IMO, absolutely nothing can top the original. Everytime I watch it, I nearly laugh myself unconscious. Especially when they drive through that shopping mall. That was great. Loved that movie. :Ecool:
He's been gone a while, but R.I.P. John Belushi. T_T

Don't see why not. Go for it, Micki! Mentioning some titles won't hurt. Unless it gets into a big discussion about anime movies. ^^;; But then, we can always make a new thread in the anime section if needed.
Clerks
Die Hard
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Evil Dead (all of them)
Fight Club

Yeah, refering to the original... 2000 may have some good music, but i didn't like the acting... and the humor was too over-the-top... nothing like the original...
first movie was awesome... one of my favorite car chases in it too... that major police-car crash was awesome :D
Too bad John died... he was really fun...
It's scary how much his brother Jim Belushi reminds me of him though... they act pretty similar

Dang, now i can't think of so many atm...
The Lion King is one of them though... i don't have it, but i remember it, and the music in it was some of my favorite cartoon music...
Timon and Pumbaa were awesome too :D
There are alot more, but i have to think hard about it... it's a bit messed up in my head :o
The Princess Bride
This movie has given me more quotes than any other that I love.
Terminator, Predator, and Aliens.
"THEY'RE COMING OUTTA THE WALLS!"
Imaginary Heroes
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
I can't think of anymore ._.
Quote from: "Reise"Terminator, Predator, and Aliens.
"THEY'RE COMING OUTTA THE WALLS!"
Oh yes...
Predator and Terminator 2 were great...
I wasn't such a big fan of the first Terminator for some odd reason...
James Cameron films are usually likable for me, so no wonder i like T2 better...
And Aliens for that sake...
Course, yesterday I saw Grindhouse, and wow, it's really high up there with me :)
you know i'm probably gonna think of a movie thats better than this very soon but I really enjoyed the movie LIFE with Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. I also loved the Gladiator.
Tron and the black hole
The Silence of the Lambs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/)
Reservoir Dogs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105236/)
Underground (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114787/)
One of those.
I got a lot, but The Big Lebowski jumps to mind right away :il_hahaha:
The Saw films all five and Quantum of solace
Overall favorite? Has to be Casablanca. Not the bastardized-colorized version, but the original B&W.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no slouch with movies. But given the choice of the newer, CG-filled 100+million productions and the older stuff where they actually blow things up ('Apocolypse Now' I believe still holds the record for the largest pyrotechnic display in a movie), roll cars, etc.... I'll always take the older stuff.
Kung-fu flicks and B-movies are favorite categories.

They colorized it? O_o How dare they. :lordilvryannoyed:
if i remade the movie
salems lot by stephens king would be my favorite (the book was amazing)
otherwise i gotta agree with poey here, movies that make me think.
shaun of the dead is good.
oh and i saw this weird movie called wristcutters something or the other.
(looks up on google)
Wristcutters: A love story
i thought it would suck cause its about this emo boy killing himself at the beginning of the movie, but it had a lot of humor in it but the characters werent ever aloud to smile in purgatory.
its a really really good movie, i really liked it.
the music in it wasnt bad either, it wasnt metal, but still i liked it.
all in all, that movie really stuck out in my mind :)
Conann the barbarian, plenty of killing
I LOVE Chicago; it's the movie that made me realize I have a thing for musicals. The funny things is that I didn't want to go see it but my mother dragged me along and I liked it more than she did! I went to target immediatly afterwards and bought the soundtrack. They Both Reached For the Gun and Science Fiction Double Feature from Rocky Horror are the two musical songs that take turns being my favorite.
...I also have a thing for old Disney movies *bows head in shame*. Pete's Dragon has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and I also really like Robin Hood.
I must say my all time favourite is the empire strikes back, I just like the fact at the begining the rebels pretty much get their asses whooped, and the fight on bespin between vader and luke, such a dark and brilliant atmosphere to fight in
One of my favorite "bad" movies was on last night! I was thrilled when I came across Idle Hands! I just love how funny and silly it is!
I wouldn't put them in my favourites, but watchman and Friday the 13th (2009) aren't too bad

Have you seen Gypsy Vampire? Absolutely brilliant "bad" movie. There's a 5+ minute scene of a dude in a gas mask dancing in a dungeon made up of strobe lights while some stoner yells "DON'T KILL ME" over and over.
^ XD Never heard of it but I'll certainly look for it to rent.
I have certainly got into watching sweeny todd on a regular basis and all there original omen films, so I would class these amongst my favourites
