What are your favorite movies

Recommended Posts

I would have to say fraility is my favorite movie of all time. Its the fact that it keeps you off balance through the entire movie. I hate movies that I can figure out halfway through.

 

 

Followed by The Ususal Suspects-The same reason as Fraility. You are not really sure what is going to happen. And it has tons of good actors in it. The part where fenster is in the line up reading from the card. "givemethefockingmoneyyoucocksucker" Uh could you repeat that in english?

 

 

Gross Point Blank- I have always loves john cusack and the movie is kinda funny in a dark contract killer sort of way.

You know I never watched a single one till I smoked a joint and was looking to find something to watch on tv. I ran across the first one and really enjoyed it. So rolled a few more and watched them all.

I was never into the wizard/dwarf/D&D stuff, but I'll admit, those films were good. Only part I didn't like of the 3 were the big ass trees that came alive. Kinda dumb. But that wasn't too bad I guess compared to other crap I've seen.

 

I will watch most WWII based movies. I have an infatuation with that era/war, and get my hands on anything regarding it. Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Patton, etc....

 

I also enjoy those feel-good sports movies, like Rudy.

I wouldn't say it's my favorite movie, but it does deserve to be mentioned: The Illusionist was very good!

Let's see, a few of my favorites. . .

 

The Usual Suspects

Donnie Darko

Memento

Fight Club

12 Monkeys

12 Angry Men

The Princess Bride

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Johnny Dangerously

Mirrormask

The Shawshank Redemption

 

 

 

First five are fun thinking movies, keep you off balance. Hard to say much about why I liked 12 Angry Men and Shawshank; they're just awesome. MP and Princess Bride are quotable; MP and JD are hilarious. And Mirrormask is trippy, but awesome.

Said this before, but for some reason when I was doing my film/television major, I was forced to watch this nearly every semester. I don't think I ever made it through the entire movie without falling asleep.

It's a very interesting movie. The story revolves around a man who suffered a severe head injury, and thus has no short-term memory. He can't remember anything more then a few minutes. The movie is told backwards, you see the end, and each following scene takes place earlier and earlier, to figure out the how and why of what you saw happen at the begining.

 

Guy Pierce does a great job and Joe Pantalone one of my favorite supporting character is excellant as always. Christopher Nolan directs this picture well. He also did Insomnia and Batman Begins. He's got a flair for very troubled characters.

Nice list, 12 Monkeys easily in my top 10 of all time. I prefer Army of Darkness over Evil 2, though I have to admit the hand cutting off scene is funny as hell...Who's laughing now??????
