Post your favorite movie (well one of them atleast)
 

Looking for movies to watch when I'm bored..
As I said - doesn't have to be THE best - just from the top 10 :)
Mine is "Cinema Paradiso"

Something About Mary...

I LUV THAT MOVIE !!

or american history X is good too.
Or The Big Hit OMG Mark Walhberg is So Fuggin FINE and Sexy and Hot and Babe and Tight Body and Cool and sweet Voice....

Well, my fav. movie doesn't exist (yet).... I need to get to a con and have Twinkley, FunB and ARiA on tape. That would be my favourite movie then...

However of existing movies:

- Star Wars Ep V // VI // IV
- Das Boot
- LotR - FotR / TTT
- Wag the Dog
- Dogma

Kindergarden Cop.


Arnie movies crack me up.

Whatever you do...DON'T watch "one hour photo" I watched it this afternoon and what a drag! I was so disapointed...Robin Williams is one of my favorite actors, but this was just bad!

Minority Report was a hit as far as I'm concerned or Austin Powers Gold member if you like a good comedy! :D

Shit I just rented this woman!! Oh well.. maybe thats why I never heard of it when it was in the theater :P

Matrix is my favorite.

I enjoy the movie Shawshank Redemption. Everytime its on TV, I have to watch it. :)

Purple Haze

That's exactly what I would have said - excellent pick. Another faithful standby for me for pure entertainment is The Devil's Advocate.

shawshank is definitely a winner, usual suspects
das boot? english or german version? kinda long movie.
shipping news is a good movie. donnie darko!

I can never pick just one... but we just rented Super Troopers the other night... one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. :D

Goodfellas

The Warriors

- Greatest cult movie EVER.



Rio Bravo

- w John Wayne, Dean Martin, and Ricky Nelson. Awesome western.



Bridge on the River Kwai

- one of the greatest war movies ever made.



The Game

- w Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. One freaky suspense ride.

12 Angry Men
Witness for the Prosecution
Casablanca
Cain Mutiny
Cool Hand Luke
The Good, Bad, Ugly
Heat of the Night
Stalag 17
King Rat
Raisin in the Sun

All available on DVD... whooooo!

Kris:

I know only the original version of Das Boot so it's German... It's long and the beginning is quite boring... but I think it's really a good movie!

1. Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger
2. Magnolia
3. Gretchen and the 4 getho-brothers who wouldn't take "no" for an answer

Capribex: Is no.3 with english subtitles? ;)
Kris/wsjb78: What is Das Boot??
XXXPhoto: Lots of movise I never saw.. interesting..

Im a fool for "quality" pictures to tell you the truth. I like action/comedy as well but the ones I remeber are those that "want to say" something..
Ocassionally there is a good movie coming from Hollywood that saves them (imho)
For example:
The big Kahuna. Great movie
Usual suspect
American beauty
Fisher king
(Freakish as it sounds, three of them happen to have one actor in common but its an accident cause in atleast one of them he is not the main reason for the movie being good)

In no specific order of my rating...

Amores Perros
Vanilla Sky
Minority Report
xXx
Bandits
Princess Mononoke
Armageddon
Snatch
Fight Club
Gladiator
Ocean's Eleven
Boondock Saints
Shrek
Ice Age
Boogie Nights
American Beauty
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Girl, Interrupted
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The Shawshank Redemption

The Jackal
Traffic

The Usual Suspects
Being John Malkovich

Been informed that Pidgin is picky and only wanted top 10; here are my top 20 picks...

Cheers,
Matt

These are sort of my top 10...

Cheers,
Matt

Agree... Most of the selections on that list are old b/w movies dealing with dialogue and a real story... No car chases, special effects, or blazing gun battles really... just developed plot that's engaging and extertaining...

A more recent movie of this type is called "Closetland" and stars Alan Rickman (Die Hard villian and Sheriff in Robin Hood movies) Definate mind-fuck type of movie if you enjoy that sort of mental entertainment... ;^Ð

Actually :D
12 Angry Men - Seen it. Both the original and the new version. Both amazing. I mistakenly remembered a different name till I though about it again. I though it was named "the Jury" or something..
Witness for the Prosecution - Think I saw. not sure. Its agatha christy - right?
Casablanca - Classic though I found it somewhat boring. I think I skipped in the middle.
Cain Mutiny - Don't know what it is. Counld'nt find a movie by that name. Do you mean "Citizen Kane"??
Cool Hand Luke - Dont think I've seen.
The Good, Bad, Ugly - Classic. Saw several times ;)
Heat of the Night - Didn't see
Stalag 17 - Didn't see as far as I can remember
King Rat - Didn't see
Raisin in the Sun - Didn't see

The cain one reminded me or Citizen Kane - which is amazing.
Also reminded me of - Great dictator and Dr Strangelove(or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb) :D muhaha
Also - Rear window - which is most probably the best directing by hitchcock.
Name of the rose is also very good.

But from the above I think only 12 angry man fits in my top-10. rear-window might be if I make a top-10 of directing and Citizen Kane makes it to the top-10 for acting.

XXXManager:

Das Boot (probably english title would be The Boat or The U-Boat) is a German Anti-War film based on the story of U96. I rather think it's a good movie however the beginning is somewhat slow.

I have many films I like too hard to pick a favourite, depends on mood.

A few I really like are

Enter The Dragon
Way Of The Dragon
The Matrix
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
The Blues Brothers

I'll stop there before I name too many

FireHorse: You really like Dragons.. don't you? :D
did you see Dragonheart?

XXXManager: If you're intersted have a read here: http://www.uboatwar.net/boote.htm


Dragons are cool.. just watched Dragonheart 2 days ago... have seen Reign Of Fire at home (didn't bother to go to the movie theater)...

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is very good, thought provoking. If you can get the director's commentary it is even better (have to watch it twice though! once normally, once with the commentary)

there are many i LOVE...though one of the funnies and better ones i always watch lately is 'The Big Lebowsky'

LOL :p
