Dead.

[BrokenKingpin]

Donnie Darko and Good Will Hunting. Also, any Quentin Tarantino film.

[Grenage]

Most of these questions are infected with people's inability to recall most older films, and focus on the last 10 years; that goes for me too. While I could never pick favourites, I've enjoyed and re-watched:

The good, the bad and the ugly.
Dark night.
Martyrs.
Eden Log.
Watchmen.
Johnny Darko.
Kelly's Heroes.

I saw Four Lions, yesterday; that was very good.

[YuiDaoren]

The Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
The Killing Room
The Departed
Se7en
The Usual Suspects
Goodfellas
Seven Pounds
Memento
Exam

Ok, I should stop now.

[Lomexray]

Mind is 2012. 2012 is well made spectacle. The special effects of 2012 movie was amazing. Great visuals. 2012 is certainly in the top five worst ever. Good entertaining Movie. The characters are very good and all the actors give Excellnet performances.

[sffvba[e0rt]

My answer to this question will depend on how I feel at the time of answering... There are so many great movies out there, all of them awesome for their own reasons.

One that I would add to this thread now is:


Serenity


I am very glad I saw the movie before the TV show so I could enjoy it more than most fans could...



404

[NightwishFan]

I think that is my favourite Sci Fi movie. It is very good fun. Also the big space battle was really cinematic.

[BrokenKingpin]

- Donnie Darko
- Pretty much any Quentin Tarantino movie

[t0p]

Jeez, how could anyone specify a fave movie? Even a list of fave movies would be difficult to pull off (see how I neatly dodged the double entendre there?); but having read the thread and seen what other folk have said their faves has inflated my own list beyond all comprehension: the heat-death of the universe would come before I finished typing up the list.

So, to make my life involve more than typing film names, I'm going to concentrate on movies that have been adapted from comics: Kickass, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Sin City, and another whose title is at the tip of my tongue but I just can't get it - dontcha hate it when that happens to you? Oh, the recent crop of Batman movies (Batman Begins and Dark Knight) were okay. I particularly liked Batman's use of STAR to exfiltrate from Hong Kong or Shang Hai or wherever it was.

Oh yeah, some other films I loved on release, and have continued to have feelings for: Fight Club, Fifth Element, Leon, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs... the same old same old. Oh yeah, and The Departed - that movie rooolz!!!

Oh sneck! Look what happened: my life has degenerated into constantly typing movie titles into my computer. Hoisted by my own petard, or something.

[lisati]

My favourite movie is The_Italian_Job(1969) (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Italian_Job).

Of the many good suggestions so far, this has to be near the top. I have both versions on DVD, each of which has its own merits.

[half-life]

Terminator 1
Terminator 2
Sunshine
Hot Fuzz
The Island
Oldboy
Star Wars (all)
Lord of The Rings (trilogy)

[hhh]

All Time Favorite - Touch of Evil (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg8MqjoFvy4) ('98 restoration)

Sci-fi - Blade Runner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaR5wVL9x2I) (how did Sutekh849 screw that quote up so badly?) (-edit- Ack! I wrote Blade Runner as one word! Idiot!)

Comedy - Monty Python and the Holy Grail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD2-l9QxB9o)

B-Movie (with an A-list star) - The Omega Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvgF3cL10Fg)

[forrestcupp]

Either Return of the Jedi or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

I also like The Green Mile a lot. There are many others.

[Basher101]

that is a very difficult question as alot of movies are great. I like watching older movies, also some Disney movies because there you can actually feel the love, ideas and hardship people put into making it. Todays movies are all special effects, huge explosions and money making.

[hhh]

Return of the Jedi
Whoa, you like Jedi more than Empire Strikes Back??? Please explain...

[NightwishFan]

I hear this. My personal "Disney" is an animation Studio from Japan called Ghibli. They make very quality works up until these days instead of all this 3d nonsense.

[forrestcupp]

Whoa, you like Jedi more than Empire Strikes Back??? Please explain...

Don't get me wrong. I love Empire Strikes Back. And it's probably really a close tie between Return of the Jedi and A New Hope. I just like how Luke comes into his own and everything is resolved in RoJ.

I like them all a lot, though, even the new ones. And I don't really have a problem with Ewoks or Jar Jar Binks. The only problem I have with Jar Jar is that it was pretty unreasonable for them to leave him in charge at the Republic. There's no way that would really happen.

[KUU]

In no particular order


Once upon a time in the west
Heat
As tears go by
Miami vice (so what if everyone hates it)
Blade runner
Cinema paradiso
The terminator
The seven samurai
Leon
Bangkok dangerous (the original one)
Akira
The ring (the original one)

[hhh]

I just like how Luke comes into his own and everything is resolved in RoJ.
I hear ya'. It also has Carrie Fisher in her prime in a bikini going for it, which is nice (yay Caddyshack reference!). I didn't mind the Ewoks myself either, I just hated the superultramegacheesysappyhokey ending. And this guy...

http://ompldr.org/tYTFoYQ (http://ompldr.org/vYTFoYQ)

Some of the reasons I liked Empire the best... Han and Luke spend the night inside of a tauntaun
Super cool rollercoaster-ride shots as they search for them the next morning
AT-AT Walkers
Introduction of Yoda
Evil tree scene
Asteroid chase
Asteroid worm
Introduction of Boba Fett
Han gets tortured
"I love you." "I know."
Carbonite, baby, carbonite
Cloud City escort ships
"Nooooooooooooooooo!!!"
Cliffhanger ending

re: Episodes I-III, I'm not a big fan of CGI. I think filming real actors or animatronics on real sets is much more effective. Case in point, someone mentioned The Thing at the beginning of this thread, which I agree is an awesome movie. I don't think it would have been nearly as awesome if they had CGI available and used that instead of the intense animatronics they used. Another example, I loved the Treebeard scenes in The Two Towers (combination of animatronics and CGI) but hated the scene where Legolas climbs up the oliphaunt to kill it. Another example, I love The Omega Man but hate hate hate I Am Legend.

Also, I agree with every thing this guy says on the subject (nsfw language)...

[Inodoro Pereyra]

Also in no particular order:

Star Wars (the 3 originals, in this order: 5;6;4)
The Matrix trilogy.
Event Horizon.
Alien.
Love the Beast.
The Art of War.
The Three Days of the Condor.
Frankenstein (the Boris Karloff version)
Pitch Black.
Christine
The Fog (1980 version).

[NightwishFan]

*cut*
I know I am replying to everyone but there is so much I agree with in this thread lately. :)

I completely agree with your opinion on CG and even the specific examples are things I have complained about in the past.

[hhh]

@NightwishFan... Word, brother.

[fdrake]

Rosetta(1999)

[gutterslob]

Posted in a similar thread in another forum not so long ago....

Can't really pick a single favourite. Just too many good films out there, particularly from the 70's (imho).If I narrowed it down to "favourite from the last decade, give or take a few years", it'd probably a tie between Das Leben der Anderen (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405094/) & Eureka (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243889/).

[hhh]

@slob, I'll have to check them both out, as I think you have great taste. BTW, I finally found a copy of Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (I didn't think to search under the English title), downloading it now.

[NightwishFan]

Anyone watch Das Boot (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082096/)

[sffvba[e0rt]

I read some of the reviews... seems I must add this movie to my must watch list...

[Alwimo]

My favourite movie is Bound.

Others:

Y Tu Mamá También
Bad Taste
Barry Lyndon
Eyes Wide Shut
Victor/Victoria
Toy Story 3

[hhh]

@Nightwish, I've seen parts of it on TV, it looks really good, and I love a good sub pic (Hunt for Red October is Aces, Crimson Tide not so much).

[odiseo77]

Once upon a time in the west
(...)

I was about to put that on my list. Here are others I like a lot:

The Tenant
Paris Je T'Aime
Mulholland Drive
Une vraie jeune fille (A real young girl)
The bothersome man
Songs from the Second Floor
Night Porter
Blow up

And many, many others.

[PapaGary]

The Commitments (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101605/).

I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.

[MG&TL]

I can't believe no-one's mentioned Flubber:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flubber_(film)

It's badly made, cheesy, a remake of something else, the effects are terrible, but the idea is just so cool. And I love Weebo.

[NightwishFan]

About Das Boot If you do watch it, try to find the uncut version. It is well over 200 minutes long. A film this fantastic is worth sitting through every second of footage they finalized.

Also if you prefer the english dub or dislike subtitles; The german actors were multilingual and thus performed the english dub themselves.

I have, and I can't believe I forgot to put it on my list. That movie is definitely one of the best movies I've ever watched, period.


@Nightwish, I've seen parts of it on TV, it looks really good, and I love a good sub pic (Hunt for Red October is Aces, Crimson Tide not so much).

The Hunt for Red October is a nice movie, but couldn't hold a candle to Das Boot.
Das Boot is not fantasy, but pretty much a documentary about life in a WW2 submarine. You need to watch it.
