Favorite Movie

[Rocket89]

Has anyone mentioned "The Fugitive" or "Snatch"?

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Watched "The Fugitive" this week.

Casablanca. The African Queen.

Has anyone mentioned "The Fugitive" or "Snatch"?

Both. Liked the Fugitive (I was young when I saw it and haven't revisited it as an adult). Loved Snatch. Could easily have snuck into my top-10 (assuming I didn't have it in there; I forget what I had and don't feel like looking it up).

Pulp Fiction is #1 for me.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Might as well toss in the Kill Bill series. The sword fight scene with Santa Esmeralda music actually gave me a chill. One of my favorite scenes of any sword fight in movies. And I usually hate the monotony and drawn out sword/fight scenes in movies.

Starting at about :35 of the video...fantastic.

Forrest Gump
The Usual Suspects
Braveheart
American Gangster

Fantastic list (seriously, I love all those movies except for Law Abiding Citizen, which I haven't seen), but a big NOOOOOO on The Town. Why? Because it was EXACTLY like Heat, except it was set in Boston. I was soooooo disappointed, because I love Heat (forgot to add it to my list!), and Affleck and company should have been much more creative than that IMO. Saw the movies with a buddy of mine, and half way through we were calling it "Heat: Part Boston".

Speaking of Affleck, another movie I somehow forgot, which is probably in my all-time top 3, is Good Will Hunting. Just a masterpiece for me. Seen it many, many times, and have a great drunken story in which I nailed the "How do you like them apples?" scene at a local Denny's that if I ever have a beer with you guys I'll have to share.

Heat is awesome, definitely agree with you there, and I can definitely see the similarities. Being a big baseball fan is maybe why I was a little biased towards The Town. Haha.

And yea, you DEFINITELY need to see Law Abiding Citizen.

 

[Rocket25Tate23]

BILLY MADISON haha, and obviously rudy

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Comedy: Stripes
Sci-fi: The Fifth Element
Fantasy: Pan's Labyrinth
Drama: Pi
Porn: Ahem.. wait a minute. Err..

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Porn: Puma Mama Jama. Case closed.

Fifth Element. Totally fun movie. (Just about any Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman movie...Milla Jovovich - she seems to be making it big - A Perfect Getaway...)

Let's stretch this (off the top of my head with no thought involved...): Actors I just can't seem to like: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Lopez.

Mid-road: DeCaprio, Slater...

I kinda like: Robert Downy, Kevin Spacey, Greg Kinnear, Halle Berry, Cruise, Willis...that kinda thingy. RACHEL MCADAMS. And Rachel McAdams. Just off the top of my head. I forgot to mention Rachel McAdams.

 

[jason_h537]

You definitely DO NOT need to see Law Abiding Citizen

Good call on Pan's Labryinth

 

[NankerPhelge]

In addition to "A Clockwork Orange," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is very good, too.

 

[GBdomer]

Law Abiding Citizen. The Departed. Dark Knight. Hangover. Slap Shot.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Children of men is indeed a fantastic movie.....there is actually 3 scenes in that movie that are mind blowing because its all one take shots.

I beg to differ sir...though it's been about 10 yrs since I've actually seen one...but Briana loves Jenna starring Briana Banks and Jenna Jameson is the best...that's all. Carry on.

 

[Rocket89]

Finally saw Bridesmaids...super funny. I would put it higher than The Hangover, mostly because it's tougher for women to be funny and the script was less stupid and actually done quite well.

Has there ever been a funnier woman than Kristen Wiig?

God, I love her.

 

[military_irish]

Have to add some sports movies, for the basic fact that they are fact.

Hoosiers
Miracle
Glory Road
Rudy

Why is that? Is it just hard to accept toilet humor and filth from us delicate flowers? haha.

Eh, I guess so...although Bridesmaids does a really, really good job of pulling part of that humor off, even though there's plenty of other humor in it too.

I wasn't trying to be sexist, just trying to state the "facts of life" about comedians. It's like a 40:1 ratio of funny men to funny women.

For example, name the top 5 funniest women ever...

It's hard as heck to do!

Edit: It's even harder to do if you don't use Saturday Night Live cast members. I'd put Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Amy Pohler all up there. Go back to Gilda Radner too.

 

[ndyeater]

A Clockwork Orange is easily my fav of all time...2nd place would be the original Halloween...not the terrible remake

I didn't think you were being sexist. And you're right. It is hard to find a really funny woman comedian. However, do you know Lisa Lampenelli? She is hilarious, but rather raunchy. Then on the other hand, Sara Silverman could fall off the planet and I wouldn't care she is not in any way, shape, or form funny to me at all. Sooooo...that being said, here's my top 5:

1. Monique
2. Somore
3. Tina Fey
4. Lisa Lampenelli
5. Roseanne

I really want to see Bridesmaids. As far as stand up I really enjoy old school comedy, Red Foxx, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy (raw is the best thing EVER) Ralphie May, Ron white...etc I can name male comics all day.
