favorite Films

[matty1001]

Just though id start a thread on people favorite films,

mine has to be Pulp Fiction, iv seen it about 23 times now and its just brilliant, the lazy slacker, the fast food junkie, the underdogs trying to make it big. Practically my life story!

The best film I\'ve seen for a long time is probably Dead Mans shoes, absolutely brilliant a must see, dark and gritty with a sprinkle of excellent comedy, at the end I was cheering as the main man unleashed his wrath on the bad guys. This is followed closely by Scarface, Al is just the best actor ever. Has anybody seen a film called Any Given Sunday?, its about American Football, its got Al in it so I though I\'d get a heads up, I wouldnt want to ruin what I think of Al P. as an actor by accidently watching a crap film.

 

[james sequeira]

lord of the rings films, the last samurai and more but i cant choose at the moment

 

[MPJ]

1) The Pirate Movie
2) LoTR series
3) Armageddon
4) Star Wars IV-VI
5) Patton

List goes on and on, but that should get the gist across. :drunk:

My favorite sub-category (can\'t spell genra) of movies would be Horror: Zombie movies (though in general I\'m not all that fond of horror flicks, Zombie movies have always pleased me). Mostly I like Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy.

 

[quadrille]

Most David Fincher movies (Seven, the Game, Fight Club...), Kingdom of Heaven, Alien, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly...

Oh, and Léon!!! Simply fantastic film. Gary Oldman is hollywood\'s best psychopath. Period.

I liked \"the kingdom of heaven\" I\'m a bit of a medieval sword weilding fan on the quiet and there\'s a new extended version that makes more of the story out soon.

 

[Torn blue sky]

Theres far to many faves of mine.
I\'d have to put \"The Crow\" first though, love that film.

 

[Naukhel]

Live action: This is Spinal Tap
Animated: The Emperor\'s New Groove
CGI: The Incredibles

I can almost recite the entirety of each of these movies.

Also a fan of the real Star Wars trilogy
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Both Mummy movies
And anything that Kevin Smith\'s attached to.

 

[No Such Agency]

If I have a single favorite it\'d probably be \"Blade Runner\".

 

[hubbabubba]

Excalibor, Boorman, swords and sorcery must see
Good bad and the Ugly,Leone (or Whatever) best western ever made
Delicatessant (dirtector ??) Don\'t know how many times I\'ve seen it but still amazing
Ran, Kurosawa (or whatever) THere can be no other Skahespeare/Samurai fliks after you\'ve seen it
The cook, the theif, his wife and her lover,Greenaway, made with a painters perspective, absolutley beautifully shot.
Starwars 1,2 & 3, (When I say 1,2,3, I guess I reallymean IV,V,VI, the ones that started in the 70\'s, you know what I mean.) 20th c. classics

 

[Swordwind]

1. Aliens
2. Stalingrad
3. Star Wars
4. Legend
5. Brotherhood

 

[Infidel Castro]

I\'d say The Graduate, One Flew Over the Cuckoo\'s Nest, Lost in Translation, Pi, The Godfather series...

Chuffing brill.

A good film is Delicatessen. French madness.

 

[hubbabubba]

I\'d forgotten about aliens, this requires more thought than at first appears.

 

[Dragon Forge Design]

A Bridge to far

Didn\'t Bruce Lee\'s son, Brandon, get killed on the set?

 

[matty1001]

Yea, it was from a exploding chest stunt thing, which was fitted up the wrong way, so when it exploded it went into him instead of away from him.

WooHoo another one!! If your really interested in subtexts and meanings throughout the film read Pulp Fiction by Dana Polan, Amazon Link its only a short read, under 100 pages, but a very good insight into the film.
PM me if you want it to read and il send it over.
