Whats your favorite movie ever?

[SneakyPenguin]

i did a search and couldnt seem to find this, so im gonna start it. if it already exosts, lock away. now, this is just to post your fave, not bash other peoples choice. play nice.

mine is tied between original matrix and monty python and the holy grail. i swear i know every line to that movie.

but my fave series are the original star wars trilogy and lotr.

[magilacudy]

Shaolin Soccer... *ahem* kicks ass!

Excuse the pun.

Its a tossup between that and Office Space/Top Secret/Dumb and Dumber/Old School actually.

[red flare graf]

Fight Club. Which seems to be a pretty generic answer nowadays. :roll:

[FlipSide]

Its a toss up between Gladiator and Lion King(sentimental value).

When it comes to Epics its LoTR of course followed by Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia.

[Santorum X]

As my avatar suggests: Rushmore.

[jmcc]

Army of Darkness.

[alongx]

Hmm...probably American Beauty. Either that or Memento.

[Whambamm]

The Usual Suspects.

Keyser Soze = the coolest villian ever.

[terribledeli]

Seven Samurai or Empire Strikes Back

[st0neface]

Pulp Fiction...and The Blues Brothers

[godhatesjustyou]

Battle Royale!!
too bad the sequel to it sucked though..

[Quackzilla]

The Freshman (1925)

Funniest comedy ever!

[Dale Earnhardt Jr]

Die Hard I have to watch it every time it comes on cable

[jlarlee]

Heat- deniro and Pacino in the same movie nuff said

[anth0ny]

its a tossup between finding nemo and he got game

[guessed]

Well, I may catch some flames for this, but "The Princess Bride" is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Edit: "Dogma" is also a favorite. "The Court Jester", also. And "Memento", which was mentioned earlier in the thread. There is no way I could pick one favorite film, though.

[terribledeli]

Well, I may catch some flames for this, but "The Princess Bride" is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Why? Its one of Meathead's finest films. And its got Fred Savage!

[CaseyRyback]

The Usual Suspects.

Keyser Soze = the coolest villian ever.

yes I second this. The cast is amazing, and the movie is one of those I have not been able to get over. Kevin Spacey rules!

I also like, Die Hard, American Beauty, Speed, and Half-Baked although none compare to The Usual Suspects

[Mr. Anderson]

American Beauty, Pulp Fiction, 4 Rooms, Old School, Fight Club, and Road To Perdition are all my favorite movies.

[WeaponX2099]

Okay my favorites are Akira, Hackers, Monsters Inc. (Pixar kicks ass!!), Back to the Future, The Digimon Movie ( I dont why I love it) and Indiana Jones and Last Crusade.

[godhatesjustyou]

Okay my favorites are Akira, Hackers, Monsters Inc. (Pixar kicks ass!!), Back to the Future, The Digimon Movie ( I dont why I love it) and Indiana Jones and Last Crusade.

whoa, true that, true that. gotta love the digimon movie. i think it was the first real "good" movie that i watched as a child. i only liked the first part though, since the movie can be basically two movies in one.

[Jujuboy]

“Comedian” is easily my favorite movie ever.

It's a documentary that follows Seinfeld’s return to comedy after a two year hiatus. He had retired his entire act and so he’s basically starting from scratch (material-wise that is, he obviously still has a ton of experience under his belt).

It’s only about an hour and twenty minutes, not all that much time to invest in a flick so ya’ll should check it out. I rented it from Block Buster and ended up watching it 4 times before I took it back! (Without commentary twice and with each commentary track once.) Maybe I’m crazy but I couldn’t stop shoving it in my player. I’m not even a standup buff…

Prior to “Comedian” I can’t say that I had a favorite movie but both “Dark City” and “Mallrats” were in the running.

[bfg9k]

Glad someone else said Back to the Future. It's the first movie I ever purchased.

[ctice44]

My favorite flick is "Nightmare Before Christmas", that movie rules. Other movies I'm a sucker for is (any) Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

[MorganWebbLover]

My top 5 favorite movies are Fight Club , Pulp Fiction , Rules of attraction , The Big Lebowski and Easy Rider

[stonedgamer]

Pulp Fiction, Half Baked, Road to Perdition, and the movie Thirteen had a pretty strong message to it.
Also heard something about a Half Baked 2 in the works.

[shadd01]

my favorite movie of all time is boondock saints, nothing like drinking some beer and watching it
--shadd

[dragonzknight]

I loved Big...i always seem to watch it when they show it on cable

[sexdrugsandrocknroll]

I can't believe no one said Scarface!

Well I have a lot of favorite movies...

Scarface
Taxi Driver
Casino
Good Fellas
and Animal House

Some other ones that I love but most people probably won't like are Mallrats and Detroit Rock City!!!!!!! I watch those 2 movies like every month.

It's too damn hard to pick just one!

[polobearjp]

Well, I may catch some flames for this, but "The Princess Bride" is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

"The Princess Bride" is awesome! My favorite line from the movie was "inconceivable", cracks me up everytime I hear that word. :?

As for my favorite movie, I'd hafta go with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"...

[sexdrugsandrocknroll]

[moiety]

Back to the Future has always been my favorite, and Spirited Away is a close second.

A Clockwork Orange
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Braveheart
Dead Poet's Society
Punch Drunk Love
Transformers: The Movie
Signs
....Promised myself I'd cap it at five. :)

[Danimal]

My all-time favorite, hands down is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I must have watched it fifty times over the years, and like SneakyPenguin, I know all the words by heart.

Other favorites of mine include Midnight Run, Searching for Bobby Fischer, and This Is Spinal Tap.

[Anonymous]

LoTr or Matrix.

[MorganWebbLover]

Another Movie that I love which I forgot to mention Is Real Genius .



http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/36/35/91m.jpg



Witty film about teen age prodigies at Pacific Tech who learn the laser project they've been working on will be used by the military as a death beam. Kilmer is especially outstanding as one of these prodigies, who tries to fight to stop the project. Check it out if you haven't seen it .

[Firebrand]

Big John Waters fan. Female Trouble is way up on my list. MorganWebbLover? So somone is actually attracted to that disproportioned beast. There's someone for everyone.

lock stock and two smokeing barrels, crazy ass movie

[Naughty_Insomniac]

I'm going to join the Usual Suspects crowd. And for a funny I did and still do, love Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Breakfast Club.

[godhatesjustyou]

well, i'm only 15 right now. wow, only 2 years, it seemed so long ago..

anyways, TomCloud9, if you liked lock stock, you will love snatch. maybe you've seen it, maybe you havn't. i just think snatch is a better movie than lock stock, mostly cause it had more comedy in it, and of course, brad pitt:

Dude I loved snatch, That movie is awsome but lock stock is my personal fav.

[ebb]

The Goonies and Groundhog Day are two of my favorites.... as for Transformers The Movie, I hated all that Autobot death, it traumatized me as a child.

[SneakyPenguin]

and of course, brad pitt:

[cruzincontrol]

Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Taxi Driver, Out of Sight, and Mr. Deeds (because I was in it)....

[sailorchrono]

Favorite movie ever is probably Nightmare before Christmas, I love that movie so much. And close favorites are Liar Liar, Truman Show, LOTR, Office Space, School of Rock, and the first Matrix.

Omg, I love most of those movies too ^_^ Nightmare before Christmas, and The Truman Show are def. my top two (I swear, I'm so paranoid that the Truman Show might be based on my own life...heh) I have yet to see Liar Liar, Office Space, or School of Rock. LotR is too....uh...epic? -_-;; No comment on Matrix.

Digimon Movie...ah..how I love thee! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[youbastards]

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Hands down

The definitive movie

[BlueStorm781]

I would say that my favorite movie of all time is "Airplane!". It's just one long string of hilarious gags, jokes, puns and parody. And everyone who was a part of that movies was great, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and so many others. It pretty much invented the spoof/parody sub-genre, and there has not been a comedy movie that has been as consistent in it's humor and laughs as "Airplane!". Even after 20 years, the movie still is quite funny, despite some of the dated material. I would recommend this to anyone who likes comedies, and has never seen this movie.

[wookieballz]

Equilibrium.

It's an action movie with both a soul and a mind, and is as visceral as it is cerebral.

Oh, yeah...also: Best. Gunfights. Ever.

[SneakyPenguin]

the one at the end where theyre just standing there was the best. that movie was so cool.

since there is enough talk about movies, does anyone know if the live action guyver was ever put on dvd? and if so, where i could get it.

[Journey]

OK.......the theme song alone gives me goosebumps

FLASH! AHHHHH AHHHHHH!!!!!

Flash Gordon from 1982. Favorite movie of all time. Chesey as hell and the acting is so over the top....But I never have so much fun watching a movie.

[paz9x]

tough....
hmm

donnie darko
lotr- fellowship specifically
punch drunk love
the passion
Thats abotu it for the moment, just abotu every movie thats been listed before Is high on my list.

Memento the usual suspects and american beauty were jaw dropping films.

[Mr_hockey66]

Comedy: Dumb and Dumber/Foresst Gump
Action: Braveheart/ Jurasic Park (saw it 8 times)
Space: Independence Day
Comic Book: Blade!

[Moray]

Best in Show
Silence of the Lambs


Odd combo, but my tastes are varied.

[MorganWebbLover]

MorganWebbLover? So somone is actually attracted to that disproportioned beast. There's someone for everyone.

If you honselty think Morgan Webb is a so called disproportioned beast then my friend you must be a fan of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy . Because your a Certified Homo.

Firebrand I think this is more your type.

[SneakyPenguin]

goddam it get that fucking pic off. i said this in the first post.
ONLY POST YOUR OWN FAVORITE MOVIE

mwlover, shut up and leave everyone else alone before i start a petition to ban you (and with your current activites, i WILL have a lot of signatures)

[MorganWebbLover]

Shut your hole Tucks and chill out .

[Firebrand]

Just because I can't find it in myself to appreciate trash does not mean I'm a homosexual. Very much a straight man.

[spoo]

This is a hard topic to just have only one so I will list five.

Animal House
Blazing Saddles
Dead Man
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Holy Grail

This list could go on and on but I limited myself to only five. If you have not seen all of the movies I listed I suggest checking them out.

[Naughty_Insomniac]

Ya know, I've thought about it a little more, and wanted to to say that the director has so much to do with what a movie becomes that it's not quite fair to not mention my favorite directors.

M Night Shyamalan: The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs
Robert Zemeckis: Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, What Lies Beneath
Stephen Spielberg: a long list, my fave is the Indiana Jones trilogy

I absolutely love M Night and will watch any movie that he directs, sight unseen. As far as actors, the man himself, Han Solo aka Harrison Ford, is absolutely my favorite actor. And as a bonus he's just so damn sexy! Yes, even for a 60-year-old. rawwwrrrr... I would in a heartbeat, my friends =P~

[The Cheapest Ass Gamer]

Back to the Future! I've seen each one (especially the first one) about a dozen times and it never gets old.

[robdees]

[quote="

I agree. Night is the best young director around. Wish he'd make a sequel to Unbreakable.

[Syncmaster]

It's hard to put your finger on your all time FAV, but I would have to say that Jackass: The Movie is my all time favorite video.

[Amanda the Red Mage]

Return of the King, followed by Princess Mononoke, followed by the original Matrix.

Well, I may catch some flames for this, but "The Princess Bride" is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

"The Princess Bride" is awesome! My favorite line from the movie was "inconceivable", cracks me up everytime I hear that word. :?

As for my favorite movie, I'd hafta go with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"...

I feel like an idiot saying this, but what is Princess Bride about? I've never seen it but I always hear people quoting it.

(yeah, yeah, I know, I've never seen Princess Bride. I can hear those of you who read the Gamecube forum saying "oh yeah, there's that girl who's never played Metroid or seen Star Wars!") :P

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005LOKQ/104-8142396-0529517?v=glance

Editorial review:
Screenwriter William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride earned its own loyal audience on the strength of its narrative voice and its gently satirical, hyperbolic spin on swashbuckled adventure that seemed almost purely literary. For all its derring-do and vivid over-the-top characters, the book's joy was dictated as much by the deadpan tone of its narrator and a winking acknowledgement of the clichés being sent up. Miraculously, director Rob Reiner and Goldman himself managed to visualize this romantic fable while keeping that external voice largely intact: using a storytelling framework, avuncular Grandpa (Peter Falk) gradually seduces his skeptical grandson (Fred Savage) into the absurd, irresistible melodrama of the title story.

And what a story: a lowly stable boy, Westley (Cary Elwes), pledges his love to the beautiful Buttercup (Robin Wright), only to be abducted and reportedly killed by pirates while Buttercup is betrothed to the evil Prince Humperdinck. Even as Buttercup herself is kidnapped by a giant, a scheming criminal mastermind, and a master Spanish swordsman, a mysterious masked pirate (could it be Westley?) follows in pursuit. As they sail toward the Cliffs of Insanity...

The wild and woolly arcs of the story, the sudden twists of fate, and, above all, the cartoon-scaled characters all work because of Goldman's very funny script, Reiner's confident direction, and a terrific cast. Elwes and Wright, both sporting their best English accents, juggle romantic fervor and physical slapstick effortlessly, while supporting roles boast Mandy Patinkin (the swordsman Inigo Montoya), Wallace Shawn (the incredulous schemer Vizzini), and Christopher Guest (evil Count Rugen) with brief but funny cameos from Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and Peter Cook.

I'm not really a movie buff, but my all time favorite is Bean: The Movie. Haha, he's just too funny. The director wandered off a bit on Bean's character, but the movie was still very good. Two thumbs!

[Derfel]

My favorite movie of all time is Dark City. I've seen it dozens of times, and every time I watch it it amazes me anew. A perfect film, brilliantly imagined and executed.

[Derfel]

Ya know, I've thought about it a little more, and wanted to to say that the director has so much to do with what a movie becomes that it's not quite fair to not mention my favorite directors.

M Night Shyamalan: The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs


I notice you don't mention the movies he directed prior to The Sixth Sense... hmm... :)

[SneakyPenguin]

hey mwlover, since you refuse to take down that pic, i decided to check the properties. why the hell do you call other people gay when that pic is from a gay porn site that you obviously frequent. dont deny your own urges.

[wookieballz]

~mwlover

I, too, find it odd that you would so readily accuse someone of being gay, when it is you - and only you - who has produced homoerotic material. I guess it was convenient for you to do so, since you probably had that picture bookmarked already for activities that are entirely within your discretion...that I'd rather not know about.

I think someone's projecting.

I'm inclined to agree with SneakyPeguin's assessment; there's no need to deny anything. CAGs are an accepting crowd, and certainly won't hold your latent homosexual tendencies against you.

[D4rkewolfe]

Best is a hard choice to make, but I'd give it to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

Worst movie is Unbreakable...how could a movie with comic book reference be so lame. It broke up a friendship, till this day me and her don't talk.

[SneakyPenguin]

bump

i forgot this movie long ago, but kill bill was my second fave movie last year. it was just soo cool. i cant wait for the boxed set of volume 1 and 2. i just gotta get the uncut international version. i MUST see the 88 gang battle in its original glory.

[zewone]

Anime: Samurai X OVA, not motion picture

Real Life: kill bill vol. 1

[Drico]

[chev317]

Die Hard and Die Hard With a Vengeance, baby

[Renzokuken]

My favorite movie is a tie Between Snatch and Pulp Fiction.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

The Nightmare Before Christmas. That movie just rules.

[GuilewasNK]

My all-time favorite has to be....

Drunken Master - with Jackie Chan

Absolutely the best Martial Art's flick period. Great action and great comedy. Much better than the sequel "Legend of Drunken Master' (which is good in its own right).

Second would be Star Trek: First Contact. Awesome film. Assimilate this!!

Third would be Tuck Everlasting. Not the one that came out recently. The one that came out in the early 80's. That was a great film IMO.

[SneakyPenguin]

Well, add Last Samurai to my list. That movie was fucking awesome.

[bileanddecay]

Swingers.

Trent: "You're like a big BEAR, man - with these teeth and these claws and with this, you don't know how to kill the bunny man. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO KILL THE BUNNY!!!"

Sue: "You're like a big BEAR, man...!"

heathers

Heathers was pretty good

Mine are Donnie Darko and Minority Report and UHF

[Tennisjon2002]

Old School!!!!!!

[godhatesjustyou]

i must add,
Army of Darkness.

that movie kicks so much ass, so much.

[Tom]

Boondock Saints

[broke]

For me it would have to be a tie between Animal House, Swingers and Dazed and Confused.
Usual Suspects is also a great movie - probably the best of its genre in my book.
Also need to give a shout out to Ronin, the Professional and Ghost Dog.

[viciousmasura]

"The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover" is my all time favorite. Others near the top of my list include;
Kiss me deadly
Apocalypse now
Mulholland drive
Bad lieutenant
Naked
Drugstore cowboy

[cwick321]

Road to Perdition, Pulp Fiction, Amores Perros, Magnolia, Royal Tenenbaums, Good Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Cooler, Miller's Crossing, Vanilla Sky

All are exceptional movies, check them out if you haven't seen any.

[GuilewasNK]

OH CRAP. I forgot one of my all-time favorites!!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor.

Easily my favorite old-school movie.

Still doesn't beat Drunken Master though :wink:

[chickenhawk]

Spaceballs!!!!!!!!

Also among my favorites is Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Big Trouble in Little China, Raising Arizona, and The Princess Bride, among many others.

[Grave_Addiction]

I've gotta say Cable Guy or Dumb and Dumber. To me, Cable Guy is one of the funniest damn movies ever. It has so much great Jim Carrey humor in it. I think I've watched that movie more than a hundred times.

[hunter_d]

(In no particular order)
Ghostbusters...
Childhood favorite, yet it still makes me laugh today.
Boondock Saints
The Empire Strikes Back
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill
Clerks
MP&tHG
The Meaning of Life
Battle Royale (prefer the manga, but I still love the movie)
And of course

Bittersweet Motel

(there are plenty more, this is just what comes to mind)

[bignick]

The Abyss, not sure if it is my favorite ever, but damn good!

[merlin48]

LotR, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Willy Wonka

[Mookyjooky]

"American Beauty" and "The Last Samurai" is a close second.

[Ledhed]

Didn't read the rest of the thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned but:

A Clockwork Orange

To everyone who said Fight Club (and I know there were alot of you), the movie is great, and the book is even better. Chuck Pahlaniuk is a genius. VERY few writers are consistently fresh with their writing, and Chuck is one of 'em.

[stocker08]

yeah, i found fight club a little wierd though!

Fav Movies:

OUT COLD
JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK
SUPER TROOPERS

[CaseyRyback]

I think I forgot to include another favorite and the reason my screen name is what it is:

Under Siege 2:Dark Territory

Travis Dane is by far one of the best villians ever

[EddieBelfour]

Well, add another to my list, as I just finished watching True Romance. That was a really well done movie.


thats a great flick, written by tarintino.

[darkmere]

Leon (international version of the professional) and seven samurai

[SneakyPenguin]

Rocky Horror Picture Show is the best musical ever.

[SpookyD]

hmm, its likely to get me looked at funny but I loved amelie.

[SneakyPenguin]

Dude, I admitted to LOVING RHPS, I don't think you'll get looks any weirder than the ones I'll get.

Cause there's a liiiiiiiiight. Over at the Frankenstein place.

I don't know anyone who dosn't love RHPS, I don't know any guys who would say amelie is their favorite move.

[crazytalkx]

Best comedy is definately Monthy Python and the Holy Grail. Too bad the other Python movies aren't as good. (Life of Brian and Meaning of Life).

[karsh]

In a quick, not really thinking too much about it way, I'd say tops are Spider-Man 2, Memento, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Kill Bill and there's a lot more I can't remember right now.

[SneakyPenguin]

Memento was one twisted movie. Pretty fucked up. but also pretty good.

[batman2million]

Lord of the rings trilogy! gotta love it...

[coolcps]

Memento was one twisted movie. Pretty shaq-fued up. but also pretty good.

More movies need to be like that, it makes you think.

[CrimGhost]

Eh, A Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Donnie Darko, or Reservior Dogs. I cant decide. Or any Kurosawa film, Yojimbo rules.

[suga]
