[el crapo]

Hey guys,
This has probably been asked before, but what is your favorite movie? My all time favorite is Gladiator. I love it and I'm still a huge fanatic of it.

[niv]

card captor sakura (the 1st one)!!! :D ;)

[Giancarlo]

1. Traffic
2. Enemy at the Gate

[gyrbo]

The matrix!

[Wizard designs]

I dont' have a fav.

[Haze]

Freddy Got Fingered

[meow]

Not sure but I say Amarcord.

[Nick]

1. matrix - the coolest of cool
2. anything with shannon elizabeth in it
3. fast and furious - plot sucked but damn, look at those cars, and look at that girl
4. half baked - when he killed the horse? hahaha, funny ----
5. tomb raider - it had a great showe... err, action scenes. yeah, great action scenes

[Peo]

I can't pick one movie... but ok maybe The Godfather.

Some other favourites: The Seven Samurai, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Das Boot, Cinema Paradiso, Full Metal Jacket, Pulp fiction, Trainspotting.

[Giancarlo]

I love the GodFather... I always watch it, one of my favorites too.

[Gayowulf]

I this is funny: I was going to ask the same question today. Ps today is Fri the 13!

My favourite would have to be "Office Space"

Giancarlo, You might like "Thirteen Days" I watched it last night. It takes place during the early 60's (62 to be exact) It involves plenty of politics, The beginnigs of war, and disagreements within the White House. NOt a bad show.

[fury]

I'm a Steven Seagal fan. Some of my favs are Undersiege 1&2, Exit Wounds.

I also liked Gladiator, Crouching Tiger, Saving Private Ryan, and Forest Gump.

[Giancarlo]

I like the new version of the movie called "Fail Safe"... Politics, Nuclear Accidental Strikes, and more.

[LeX]

Junior. ;) Anybody ever seen that one? :D

Seriously, though, I don't think I have a favorite movie. The Matrix sucked... I mean, the CG was total ----. They didn't even bother to make it look a little more realistic.

[LastActionHero]

The Matrix Awesome story line.

I have to Jurassic Park and the Aliens series (from the 80's ) are my favourite too.

Edit: Scary Movie was hilarious.

[jason]

Natural Born Killers
Taxi Driver
Scarface
Pulp Fiction
The Doors
A Clockwork Orange
Pink Floyd's The Wall
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

also the Mr. Show movie coming out should be funny as hell.

[Gayowulf]

Giancarlo- That movie i mentioned above: it is also a true story. USA almost waging nuclear war with USSR over bombs in cuba

[gyrbo]

That movie played over here about a month ago.

[polestar]

The Blues Brothers

[Dusty]

Rather than trying to choose one of my own, I'll just rate those already mentioned.

The piles are:

[Less than Utter Crap,] Utter Crap, Crap, Good, Excelent/Fantasic


Gladiator

Poorly executed combination of Sparticus, Ben Hurr, and a healthy dose of false history. I'd put it in my crap pile.

Card Captor Sakura

Never seen it, can't say anything about it. Into the crap pile, pending evaluation (everything starts as crap).

Traffic

Never seen it, ditto about crap.

Enemy at the Gate

I think I've seen it but can't exactly remember what it was about... or maybe I'm thinking of a different movie with a similar title.

The Matrix

Too many plot holes to mention, into the utter crap pile.

Freddy Got Fingered

I'll not dignify that with response.

Tomb Raider

The only movie in existance that can make Pearl Harbor look like a masterpeice.

Fast and Furious (plot sucked but damn, look at those cars, and look at that girl)

Never seen it, but from your eloquent synopsis of the movie, utter crap.

The Godfather

Which one? The first or second one? Good choice.

The Seven Samurai

Never seen it, but since it has "samurai" in the title it will reside in the utter crap pile until evaluated.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Refuse to see it, will remain in the utter crap pile for all of eternity.

Das Boot

Excellent choice.

Cinema Paradiso

Never seen it, crap until I do.

Full Metal Jacket

Fantastic choice, though if I'd have to choose one Kubrickan war movie it would be Paths of Glory, not Full Metal Jacket, but still, excellent choice.

Trainspotting

Excellent choice.

Pulp Fiction

Never seen it, but I've heard many good things, so instead of the crap pile it will remain in limbo.

Office Space

Funny little movie, but not much staying power. Crap, but to be fair, I don't usually rate comedies on the same scale I rate serious movies.

Forest Gump

More crap, but not utter crap.

Saving Private Ryan

Unbridled Spielberg crap at its worst.

Fail Safe

I'll substitute Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in place of the movie title you mentioned and rate it excellent. Both movies were based on the novel Red Alert, but where Fail Safe is serious, Dr. Strangelove is a satire on how utterly stupid the cold war really was.

Jurassic Park

Utter crap.

Scary Movie

I will say utter crap, though the true answer is too horrible for you to contemplate.

Natural Born Killers

Good choice.

Taxi Driver

Never seen it.

Scarface

Never seen it.

The Doors

Never seen it.

A Clockwork Orange

Fantastic choice, Kubrick's second best.

Pink Floyd's The Wall

Never seen it.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

Excellent choice, Gilliam's a great visual director.

Why? How can you rate a movie not having seen it?

I disagree. That show was utter trash. Depp is a decent actor, but the movie makes me want to vomit.

[bigperm]

Office Space
Fight Club
Half-Baked
The Great Stantino

Those are mine... and I saw crouching tiger and I thought it sucked.

[Dusty]

Why? How can you rate a movie not having seen it?It was quite simple, it only took 74 key strokes. :)

As for why, two reasons:
A) The title. Can't judge a book by its cover, but no one ever said anything about its title.
B) The previews. Although previews can be misleading, but in this case, I doubt they are.

[cowax]

True Lies, Blade, and SouthPark :)

[LeX]

CTHD wasn't very good, but IMO it was way better than The Matrix for its stunts... smoother.

[Koolguy]

There is something about mary

[bigperm]

but IMO it was way better than The Matrix for its stunts... smoother. NOO!!! You could see the strings! You can tell exactly how they are doing everything and it's not real at all. Boo thumbs down.

[LeX]

The Matrix was even worse. Looks "faker" than CTHD... but I'm not saying that CTHD is a better movie. I thought it sucked.

[bigperm]

When I was watching the matrix, and a special effect scene came up, I wasn't thinking about how real or fake it was or how they did it... I was too caught up in the plot. The opposite happened in CTHD.

[gyrbo]

The matrix is just a plain good movie. Also Pokémon the movie was good :p.

[Peo]

The special effects is not what I like about CTHD, even though some fighting scenes are spectacular for instance those in the trees and the first long one. And not because you beleive in it, but because it's art.

I do like the classic magical unreal plot and the absolutely amazing photography shot in China. And the fact that it's very different from any other martial arts movies, which I usually don't like at all.

[<|R0cKm@nX|>]

I like watching Swordfish ...
nice hacker movie :D

MATRIX AND FINAL FANTASY!!!

I just went and saw FF yesterday and I must say that was a waste of 4.50 bucks on me 30 million bucks on Sony. I mean, the movie has the best animation ever seen. But the movie itself could be a whole lot better. Give 30 million bucks to me and I could produce a better movie than them.

Oh, and forgot to mention The Crow as one of my favorites (Although the 2 sequels kinda sucked)

[Koolguy]

The crow was cool, then they did the cheap tv show based on it.

*groan* I'm fighting a losing battle... *lol* Seems like there are lots of Matrix loving fans here... :rolleyes:

I agree, the plot of The Matrix was interesting, I'm just saying that it was disappointing to see such awful animation (CG)... therefore, IMO, The Matrix sucked. CTHD was boring as hell, I didn't like it, but the animation was nice, smooth, graceful, looked more natural - but I'm not saying that it looks completely realistic. Still it's way better than what I saw in The Matrix.

[Gayowulf]

I appreciated CTHD becuase it was a little more realistic than most martial arts movies, and the actors actually knew their stuff. It is not often that a chinese movie gets the publicity and popularity overseas that it did. Overall it was decent.
Maybe i am more able to appreciate it as i have been practicing martial arts for awhile.

I wanted to see enemy at the gates, but I missed it, and it's not out on video/dvd yet. :( But it was pretty good?

I thought saving private ryan was okay The action scenes were pretty good, but I found the plot lacking.

[Gayowulf]

I also forgot to mention "A clockwork Orange" and any thing with peter sellars in it. i.e "the party", or the pink panther.

[milkbar]

Dearie me! I can't believe no one has mentioned Shawshank Redemption! I wuv that movie!!!!!

[Nick]

That and the Green Mile were good movies, but still not at the top of my list :p.

[Gayowulf]

In my opinion, pound-me-in-the---- prisons are not the best settings for movies.

[Stumbler]

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

The best movie ever made.

Totally triptastic.

[Haze]

I want to see this movie so badly but I have made myself a promise not to see any movie with anyone affiliated with the Church of Scientology in it. GerrrrR.

pound-me-in-the---- prisons That's from office space, for those of you haven't seen it. That is such an awsome movie. Damn.
