Favorite movies of all time ?

Wow… there’s one I actually haven’t heard of before!

[I’m “borrowing” a copy now…]

Too many to mention but 3 standouts for me are Forbidden Planet, The Time Machine, and The Day The Earth Stood Still. (Original versions)

They call me Trinity-

Bud Spencer Terence Hill.

Black Cat-White Cat-Emir Kusturica…:laughing:

Edward The Scissor Hands and Cinema Paradiso.

Dr Strangelove ! (favourite movie ever)

I see many other nice films listed, I really liked Black Cat-White Cat, but also Underground from the same director.

The element of chrime
Before sunrise
The killer (John Woo)

Why is that my favorite movie?

  1. This is IMHO truly the most dystopic, most fearful and realistic movie about how humanity (both in literal and virtual meaning) is going to end.
  2. I have a weekness for dystopic movies and movies without a happy ending (sorry folks but life often is everything but fair and I'm sick of denying the true nature of human beings)
  3. People in 1973 knew better than today what we might face in the future. Today, we have never been closer to a scenario like the one depicted in that movie.
  4. ...last but not least...Leigh Taylor-Young... :KISS: :LOVE:

The Snatch, Chłopaki nie Płaczą, Poranek Kojota

Back To The Future all of them

Pulp fiction, Leon, Intouchables, memento, 21 grams, Lock stock and two smoking barrels, La Haine and many more

Oh, thanks a lump. Now I have to get some Brillo and scrub my brain, ’cause I don’t think I can ever unsee that.

And my reaction the whole time was pretty much just like The OMG Cat.

Bad, bad, bad. Worse than The Bunnyman. Worse than Waterworld. Worse than Ishtar, if that’s at all possible.

Ok how about.... Deadwood the movie .

Got it, but haven’t watched it yet.

Flesh Gordon? Is that a porno? If you meant Flash Gordon I like that one too.

The Road Home (Chinese 1999)

Papillon
Bridge on the River Kwai
Big Wednesday
Chasing Mavericks
Cannonball Run
Worlds Fastest Indian

Its only a underground funny short film on low budget. :smiley:

The Goonies

I really expected this movie to become painfully dated, but it actually holds up well. The racism bit was well tempered. And the elite privilege thing… so nicely done. Plus, the final cherry on top — Jaime Lee Curtis. Yowza, her best eye candy appearance ever! Well, True Lies was a good one for her too.

I have so many favorites. But some I just can’t watch all that often any more… need enough time in between.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail — this is so friggin’ brilliant on so many levels. They were clever and also serendipitous with the writing. I’ve re-watched this movie more than any other.

2001: A Space Odyssey — this can be a bit “fidgety” to handle because of the slow pace… but I still find it the most realistic depiction of humans in space, more so than even the latest work. The models especially… CGI still can’t duplicate it.

Star Wars: A New Hope — yes, the original. It’s still the best. “Empire Strikes Back” is my 2nd favorite. Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are OK, but like a whole different franchise. Lousy acting, too. Episode 8… was enjoyable and impressive, but couldn’t recapture the 1st movie.

Pulp Fiction — I’ve seen almost all of Tarantino’s work. This is still his crowning achievement.

The Shawshank Redemption — one of those movies that you forget about, but when you come back to it you realize just how damned good it is.

The Matrix — the first one. I did enjoy the others for what they offered, but the original was so nicely packaged from start to finish.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest — a real amazing classic. Just brilliant, especially Nicholson.

Good Will Hunting — serious psychological drama. So endearing in so many respects, especially with the late Robin Williams.

Lord of the Rings - Trilogy — the whole package was terrific, from start to finish. So entertaining on so many levels. Legendary.
