Favorite movies of all time ?

I saw Sherlock Holmes (2009).

I love mysteries (that get solved), and this movie was a great one.

I also like Guy Ritchie films, and the actor Robert Downey Jr.

If you like mysteries, then definitely check this one out.

Hornet’s Nest

I saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011).

It's an excellent movie, though I liked the first one more.

Part one is more mystery, and part two is more action.

Still, a great sequel.

I hope they make more of them.

Blazing Saddles (1974)

Back when most people could laugh at things & not be offended… :beer:
.

American Beauty is my all time favourite. As a real estate agent, Carolyn’s motivation for selling a house has been a great example for me in my career. I always start the day saying ‘’I will sell this house today’’ like she says in the movie. Sometimes you could have difficult tasks like selling a hotel for sale in Canary Islands but as long as you keep yourself motivated and don’t sink into dispear you are always having a chance.

Cleavon Little was a genius, and he and Gene Wilder were brilliant together in the movie. As were Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn. The racial epithets that Pryor and Brooks decided to include in the script disappointed me, but I do recognize it as a very creative and otherwise ground-breaking movie.

Training Day, American Psycho, Fear/Loathing Las Vegas, Bullitt
Going to look into “Once Upon A Time … In Hollywood”

Hooligans aka Green Street Hooligans

It just dawned on my lightening fast mind what the title of that movie really meant; it was good back then; it’s even gooder now.
Wonder what kind of hot sauce they used in those beans? :person_facepalming:

While eating lunch today— Fast Times at Ridgemont High was on —- watched a little while —lots of future stars in that movie—-

Okay, I gotta move this from “What did I just watch?” to “favorite movies of all time”.

In all its ’80s splendor and goodness…

GOTCHA !

Now try to get that tune outta yer head. :laughing:

I think I saw Gotcha! on TV at least a decade ago.

I don't remember how much I liked it, but I think I did enjoy it.

It was one of those movies like “Creator” (wow, also 1985… there’s a shock) where you start watching it on teevee just ’cause nothing else is on, and you’re instantly hooked and it becomes one of your favorites.

Well, at least it did with me.

I also caught “Creator” when it started as the late late late show at 0300, and watched it straight through ’til 0500.

Looked for it forever in video stores ’til I was able to special-order it at Beast Buy.

Another underrated (if not unknown) gem…

La Grande Bellezza

The image, the music, the atmosphere, the humour…

I saw Avengers: Endgame (2019).

I liked it a lot, as I have liked every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It's not the best in the MCU, but it's a worthy addition.

Lots of action in this one.

Not enough comedy, in my opinion.

This is a serious superhero film.

Just finished watching it now. Damn, over 3hrs!!

Other than vague/passing familiarity with some of the major players, I had no idea who’s who. Still, I liked it.

Damn, there were some hot chicks in that flick, though.

Who was the chick flinging red flameballs at Badguy? The whole “I lost everything” / “I don’t even know you” / “you will” one.

And Dragonfly Gril?

Funny, though. The end was like watching the Big Battle in “Narnia”. :laughing:

Scarlet Witch

Mantis

Wow, and I thought the Who-niverse was convoluted… :open_mouth:

Okay, so “Endgame” followed “Infinity”, and I just saw an “Ultron” listed somewhere. Where should I start if I wanted to just catch the pix from a decent starting point, instead of being totally at sea for most of it?

I liked “Endgame”, but I imagine if I knew who most of them were, and their backstories, I would’ve liked it even more.

And all these people were listed in the credits for only like 5sec of cameo. Eg, Samu L Jackson with the eyepatch at the very end. Rene Russo was in it? I see her listed, but can’t for the life of me place her in the movie. Etc.

I would watch all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in chronological order.

I know it's a pretty tall order, but they're all quite entertaining.
