[Fake Shemp]

american beauty is fantastic and pulp fiction is good but couldnt say 'king of all films', nothing that is a reference piece of 'look at what films Quentin Tarantino has seen' can be king of films..., fight club never gets old tho 28 days does after a few watches but i do love it.... ive gotta think now

 

[Aethra]

These are ten on my favorites, not necessarily in any order. They're not what I'd consider the ten best movies though--some are fantastic films, some are fun.

The Godfather
Memento
The Prestige
The Princess Bride
The Big Lebowski
Cinema Paradiso
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Lord of the Rings (I'm counting them as one)
V for Vendetta
Minority Report

 

[Superstar]

Blade Runner - Ridley set the standard with this film
Die Hard - Action/adventure at its finest
Army of Darkness - comedy cult classic
Raiders of the Lost Ark - pulpy goodness that doesn't get old
The Princess Bride - romantic/comedy that isn't mushy
Jurassic Park - wonders of CGI in a new world
The Exorcist - boundary-pushing for its day, and still holds up
Night of the Living Dead (Original) - spawned a genre
Star Wars (Original) - revived a genre
The Lord of the Rings - Fantasy can be good after all

 

[Washburne]

The list changes everyday but some favourites:

A fish called Wanda
American history X
Back to the future - trilogy
Dancing with wolves
Dead poets society
E.T.
Empire of the sun
Lord of the rings - trilogy
Love actually
Shawshank redempion (nr.1!)


And I didn´t got to mention: The commitments, Cool runnings, Star wars, Indiana Jones, Notting Hill, T2, Shakespeare in love, Bad boys, The green mile, Sliding doors and so on... This is difficult!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Yam Sham agrees: Great idea for a thread, but I think it would go in the "Social Studies" section. 😉

You're right, so I've moved it accordingly 🙂

Anyone ever seen the Evil Dead 1 & 2? They are brilliant. They're somehow funny and scary. And the main guy has such a funny face.

 

[hyperballadbrad]

Oh my good Lord! i forgot to mention the genius that is Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. It's WONDERFUL haha

[NightBird]

Well other than Alien being number 1 as has been since I was 9 this list isn't really in order.

1, Alien; I saw it when I was 9 and it terrified me.

2, Transformer; Pure nostalgia trip in modern CGI form.

3, Crash; An awesome film that shows racism to be as foolish as it truly is.

4, Batman Begins, I'm a fanboy (well an objective fanboy, which I think is an oxymoron).

5, Dark Star, The guys who did Alien plus John carpenter's student sci-fi film, the alien beach ball is the highlight.

6, The lord of the rings (all 3); I love the book and the battles are awesome.

7, The Prestige, I'm a big 'magic' fan and the characters in this film inspire me the dedication that '___' character (left name out as not to spoil for people who haven't seen it) shows to his craft always reminds me that if I want to do something, I can, I will and I better be bloody well willing to work for it.

8, Stat Wars (ep's 5,6&7), I love the whole empire, stormtroopers (my fav people in star wars, love the uniform, and I want one). Ep's 1-3 are ok but they lack the charm and the atmosphere of the org tri.

9, Ghostbusters; need I say more.

10, Slapshot; An awesome hockey film, Clean hits please!, Scott Stevens is a legend and should be coaching NJD defence as we lacked a hitter last season, well Vishnesky did a good job but he's no number 4.

 

[Blondie Bear]

Again, in no real order.

The Princess Bride
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Edward Scissorhands
Titanic
Wall-E

Pirates of the Caribbean
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

I kinda like too many films so i'm just saying those for now (and as much as i love films i love tv shows more, strange i know)

 

[Buffanator]

My top 10 films (not in order, really)

1. Forest Gump - this film had EVERYTHING - love, humor, drama, war, football, ping-pong, shrimping, Elvis, smiley face, marriage, death, and spanned 40 years - it was GREAT

2. The Princess Bride - funny, romantic, sweet, good story line plus Andre the Giant - what's not to love?

3. The Terminator (Parts I & II; sorry, Part III doesn't make the cut) - an incredible tale of doomsday from the future, with no holes, & Arnold Schwarzenegger as both the BAD guy & the GOOD guy. Fabulous!

4. Dances With Wolves - a beautiful story about the ugliness of prejudices.

5. Braveheart - by far Mel Gibson's best work. From the story to the scenery to the costumes to the realistic deaths - it was just pure wonderment.

6. The World According to Garp - Robin Williams, Glenn Close, and John Lithgow. It hardly gets any better!

7. Secondhand Lions - Robert Duvall & Michael Caine were the BEST brother team ever!

8. Crazy in Alabama - some critics term this as "the worst movie ever" but I can't disagree enough! - a battered woman kills her husband, takes his head with her on a cross country trip to become a movie star, gets arrested & goes on trial, & all this mixed into the middle of the racist-torn south... I love this movie!

9. Jaws - Even tho this movie is over 30 years old, it still strikes fear the heart of every beach-goer. Can you even THINK ABOUT the ocean without hearing the "dum-dum... dummmm-dum... dumdum-dumdum-dumdum" music??

10. Gone With the Wind - because a top ten list without it is just not a top-ten list. And who can NOT love the audacity of Scarlett O'Hara & the utmost loveable badboy Rhett Butler?

[Yam Sham]

Oh, man, I don't think I have a top ten, but I have a few favorites!

Batman Returns. Ohmylord. My favorite superhero movie of all time.
Wayne's World. Only the first one, though. I quote it so much.
The original Star Wars trilogy was great, but not Phantom Menace or later. Damn you, Jar Jar!
40-Year-Old Virgin. Absolutely hilarious.

And I basically love anything Tim Burton directs, but I still haven't seen Sweeney Todd! I also love anything action, comic-based, or ridiculously stupid comedy, like Zoolander and Anchorman. As for recent movies, I really loved Juno and Iron Man, and I just saw Wall-E this past weekend...it was great!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Lord of the Rings
The Nightmare Before Christmas
This Is Spinal Tap

Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
