Independence Day
The Cutting Edge
Miracle
Murder In The First (One of the best acted movies ever)
Pump Up The Volume
Heathers (I don't patronize bunny rabbits!!!!!)
Memento (seriously warped flick)
Oops, also gotta add National Lampoons Vacation and Amadeus!!!

Ok, more than ten, but fuck it lol.

I don't believe I have ever seen a list of favorites that includes Rocky,Heathers, Braveheart, Rudy, and THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Thats really quite...different...No pigeonholing your tastes in movies that's for sure.:D

On edit: Inconceivable!!!!:)

:rofl:

Yeah, I'm a bit diverse. Course, my song list I play goes from Mozart, to White Zombie, to Styx, to Filter, to Asia, to Megadeth, to the Moody Blues, to Linkin Park, etc. Yup... I'm all over the map lol.

Oh shit, and I forgot to put West Side Story on that movie list!!!

I have most of the soundtrack to "Pump" on my iPod...

"Happy birthday, Dad! I'm in JAIL!!!"

Love that movie and soundtrack.

My room mates and I tried to watch it several years ago and couldn't even get through the thing - painfully bad.

Then, it was on tv months later. I gave it another try, because this time I knew what to expect (first time, I had alllll sorts of different expectation). Then a funny thing happened... I actually, like, started to GET it. When I lowered my expectations, I was all of a sudden able to see comic aspect of the movie. Each time I've watched it since, I've laughed harder and harder. It's definitely not something for everyone, but I'm tellin ya, it's friggin brilliant! You should really give it another try, but this time with your mind already knowing how completely stupid it is. It's meant to be done that badly. It's meant to be a total spoof. It's meant to be mind blowing stupid. Let the corniness in. I was in the same position as you the first time, with a total feeling of WTF? This thing sucks!!! But now, it cracks me the fuck up. I'm so glad I gave it a second try.

I know that's it's supposed to be stupid and is a spoof, but I still didn't like it.... maybe I'm too grumpy/unfunny? snobby? I don't think so.... I actually like kung fu movies, and I like corny comedies, but KP just didn't do it for me.

:hi:

That's a lotta nuts!!!


The movie is so full of really funny shit.

Rocky, Braveheart, Princess Bride, Zoolander, Independence Day, Memento, Amadeus

Great movie! Nolan directed a movie previous to that called The Following that's pretty cool too.

My Dinner With Andre

Gates Of Heaven

Ikiru

Magnolia

Texas Chainsaw Massacare (the orginial)

Man Facing Southeast

Betty Blue

Eraserhead

Carnival Of Souls

El Topo

The first "Midnight" Film and arguably the best, too....

I think Fando y Lis is my favourite of his though. I've been meaning to pick up the box set with El Topo, Fando y Lis and The Holy Mountain.

Of those, Magnolia is the only one I've seen.

And I liked it a lot!

Jason Robards' "regret" speech is probably my favorite film speech of all-time; hell, Robards' acting in Magnolia my be my favorite acting role, too..

I loved that movie! You might the only other person I've ever seen even mention it.

I used to rent that and show it to friends (along w/ Betty Blue) often; I try to keep Kevin Spacey's Hollywood rip-off (K-PAX) out of my mind....

like "Live and Let Die", or "Twister".

As a rule, i'm not much of a film snob. I try to see a few indies here and there, especially if they did well at Cannes or Sundance, but just because a film DID do well at the festivals does not automatically guarantee that it will make it to my 'gotta see' list.

I had to post this so I won't forget. :P

1. Tokyo Story (1953) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046438/ - best film made so far

Is that 10? damn

not enough room there. So: adding 3 great funny Cary Grants:
Bringing Up Baby
Philadelphia Story
Arsenic and Old Lace

It does have a little more serious undertone than the Bringing up Baby types, but it is high arch British comedy at its best, with a delectable cast of Grant, Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons. I love movies which rely on actual dialogue, with no special effects or shoot out scenes. (well, there actually is a gun in Grass, but...)

Blood Simple
Apocalypse Now (Original Cut)
Godfather
2001: A Space Odyssey
Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House
Memento
Duck Soup

Tikki

"What Dreams May Come"

"Philadelphia Story"

"American Beauty"

"Schindler's List"

"Chicago"

"Almost Famous"

"West Side Story" with Chita

"Anne of Green Gables"

"Meet Me in St. Louis"

"Pulp Fiction"

"Shawshank Redemption"

"Fried Green Tomatoes" TOWANDA!!!!

"It's a Wonderful Life" before they played it five thousand too many times.

"The Wizard of Oz"

"The Hours"

"Angels in America"

Your choice of movies suck, but welcome!

I am so totally kidding...a true DU welcome. :)

Did you notice in American Beauty that as the roles changed (Spacey and Annette Benning) so did the costumes? As Spacey's character got more open, so did the color of his clothes. By the dinner scene when they go at it Spacey is wearing brighter colors than he had before, and Benning's character starts wearing plainer, drab clothes as their characters switch roles? Great movie making, and a reminder for me of Ken Russell's "The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover".

I thought it was very entertaining. And you don't have to like the movies I picked, I guess. :)

These movies I could watch over and over and never tire of them (in no particular order)

1. This is Spinal Tap
