Favorite Movie(s) of all time

[sage] · 01-28-2005, 10:17 PM

I don't have a top favorite of all time.

Some movies that would probably make my top list.

Matrix 1
Shrek
Return of the King
Last Samurai
House of Flying Daggers

*shrug* I'm probably forgetting a lot of movies. Rest of the list would probably be comedies. Too hard to pick though.

You know I see so many movies I love, that it's hard to make an alltime list right now.

My favourite film (for the last few years) has been Donnie Darko. There was a point when I watched the movie every month for nearly a year.

Some movies the recently stick out in my mind are Shaun of the Dead, Garden State, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Basically my view is, if I like it, I'll watch it.

I have a Top 4 list. It baffles people that I only have 4 list, as opposed to the more common 5 or 10.

1) Head
2) UHF
3) The Princess Bride
4) Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I'm very bad at listing my top 10 favourite of basically everything. It also changes all the time.

Head? As is the weird Monkees movie written by Jack Nicholson?

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-29-2005, 02:04 PM

Co-written. And yes. Why?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Sean P Kelly** · 01-29-2005, 05:40 PM

Oh, it's just I remember seeing on "Behind the Music" that it really turned off The Monkees' fans and it was a huge flop.

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-29-2005, 11:44 PM

That's because at the time, most Monkee fans were 9-15 years old and couldn't handle psychedelia or symbolism or self-deprecation.....but then, they also could rarely get into the movie, since it was rated R.

The kind of people who WERE into the stuff they did in the film were too prejudiced against the band to see the film. Many of those who didn't know the Monkees were in it (due to the obscure ad campaign) walked out of the theater the instant Micky ran onscreen in scene 1.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

imported_Andrew · 01-30-2005, 12:45 AM

1. Cool Runnings
2. Major League
3. Rudy

Yoshi Girl · 01-30-2005, 08:41 AM

The Lion King and Jurassic Park.

**Booyakasha** · 01-30-2005, 09:31 PM

My favourite movie ever is 'Mortal Kombat'. It combines excellent kung-fu action, high-quality special effects, and outstanding over-the-top scenery-chewing performances by the entire cast (especially Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa); the result is a fast-paced, entertaining, kinetic work of cinematic art. Oh, and it features 'Techno Syndrome', mankind's crowning musical achievement.

**Sean P Kelly** · 01-30-2005, 11:28 PM

While the first MK movie is better than the second one, it's far from a cinematic work of art.

[sage] · 01-30-2005, 11:52 PM

I was kinda thinking that too.

Mariosrpg89 · 01-31-2005, 09:31 AM

I cant name them all, but here are a few on my favorites.

The Fifth Element
Jurassic Park
The Shining
A Tale of Two Sisters (Korean)
Ju-On/The Grudge
The Exorcist
The Eye (Hong Kong)
X2
Rat Race
Ringu/The Ring
And I have a thing for Hocus Pocus [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

DELICIOUS POISON · 01-31-2005, 01:54 PM

Donnie Darko, Ghost in the Shell 2, Fight Club, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Insolent whelp.

I declare that to be your opinion. I further declare your opinion to be null and void, as it disagrees with mine and is thus obviously incorrect.

Oh, and 'Mortal Kombat: Annihilation' is great. Loads better than your so-called 'Garden State', anyhow. (Inasmuch as I have not seen 'Garden State', or even know what it's about, I dismiss it on the basis of its having the word 'garden' in the title. I'm nothing if not objective.)

Koga · 02-02-2005, 06:00 AM

You are entitled to your own opinion, but critics and the general public around the world would not see Mortal Kombat as a cinematic piece of art.

Nabooru98 · 02-03-2005, 12:56 AM

The Nightmare Before Christmas
Edward Scissorhands
Zoolander
The Ring
The Matrix 1

Yep. TNBC goes at the top, always.

**Booyakasha** · 02-03-2005, 03:49 PM

^^They are, in turn, entitled to their opinions, much as I am entitled to my opinion that they're a bunch of phillistines who wouldn't know quality if it whipped its pants off and rammed its pubis into their faces.
