Papillon

Big Wednesday
Chasing Mavericks
Cannonball Run

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.

Verrrrry low. I just loved the control panel that was covered in aluminum foil. That’s 2.79 right there… :laughing:

The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite. What defines a favorite for me is a movie that I will watch over and over again and not tire of it. This particular movie has been shown annually on TV for many years. I watched it originally in a theater with my mother many years ago. I recall sitting through the movie a second time with Mom just to be sure the wicked witch was really dead. As the years have rolled by, I have shared watching the movie with my children and then their children. Each time I see it, I am reminded of my Mom, who was patient enough to sit through it a second time, and of my family who have enjoyed the movie with me and particularly, its timelesd message that there is no place like home.

The talented Mr Ripley ,,,and the French version called Purple Rain is an interesting and enjoyable watch as well.

Don't know if I mentioned this before but the original Japanese "shall we dance" is

Godzilla vs anyone else

If you've never seen it, check out

Groundhog Day (1993)

It's a comedy classic.

If you enjoy that, and you like horror movies and mysteries, watch

Happy Death Day (2017)

It's a very good horror movie inspired by Groundhog Day.

If you like that, catch the sequel

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

It's really good for a horror movie sequel.

It has some Back to the Future type sci-fi and adventure elements, but you don't have to see the Back to the Future series to enjoy this sequel.

You should watch the HDD prequel before watching this one, however.

Coming to America
Back to the Future series
Indiana Jones series

A horror classic is

Saw (2004)

If you like that, check out some of the many sequels.

Some are pretty good.

I think

Saw II (2005)

is the best of the sequels.

If you like those, a similar movie is

Escape Room (2019)

but it's not really gory like the Saw series, which makes it easier to recommend.

Maybe some of you still know him...

He scared the $&#@ out of me when I was young and refused to fall asleep and dream. :-D

Don’t know about the favourite.
But I Downloaded the latest Stalone Movie last week.
Opening here in July sometime.

Ëscape Plan. The Extractors”.

Got round to watching it last night.
Lower budget than usual for him.
I reckon it’ll do his rep more damage than good.
After what he’s been making recently.
The Text is real F Grade in parts.

BUT. It’s a Rambo and free.

Men in Black International. is another.

A “half” take off of MIB. Quite funny in parts.
but not up to usual standards of story.

The Professor (Johnny Depp) is a good one too.

I’ve ben watching movies since around 1949/50
so can’t remembe them all.
But you can put John Wayne. and Tom Sellick at the top I’d think.
Followed by any GOOD SF, then action after that.

PLUS. ALL the kids GOOD Animated movies too.
They are Bloody amazing.

Basically ANY good movie I watch and enjoy, is the best.
Till the next one.

Just watched “Borgman”.

What an odd but intriguing film.

I still don’t get it.

The scene with Isolde and the would-be gardener is priceless, though! :laughing:

My personal favorite movie is Conan the barbarian, not the greatest film but the OST is one of the best ever made and perfectly fit the universe.

Do you have the Prometheus version of the score recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic?
