Top Films

[bionic sheep]

What are your favourite films ever? Is there a film that you want to reccomend to your fellow forumites? Post them here!

I want to recommend the film Dogma. It is sharp, witty and very irrelevant. It is a satire on the current state of the church and manages to actually raise some good theological questions as well. It is also hilarious.

Anyone else?

[Dr M]

I haven't either (gets ASHamed)

My favourite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean. Nuff Said. (hurrah for Jack Sparrow!)

[weebl]

BEST FILM EVER IS FLASH GORDON. End of conversation.

[skoo]

But weebl, what about the MILK?

[djnrrd]

Just because it has Brian Blessed in it doesn't mean it's the best film ever.

Ahh wait.... It does.

However if I were to choose second best it would be Paperhouse - little known film from 88 made by Channel 4 (in the UK) Both scary and heartwrenching. I always cry when I see that film.

"Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 minutes to save the earth!"

"Have we? Bugger it then, we may as well shag."

Brian Blessed, "Gordon's alive? And getting teh sex?"

Agreed, Flash Gordon is cool, but Star Wars - A New Hope is better!

yes, what about the MILK?!?!!

My favorite movie of all time would have to be Das Boot. Nothing dolled up or outlandish for the film, just a WWII submarine on patrol. Absolutely excellent photography and camera work, good acting, and a script straight from the real thing. Plus the depth charges on my subwoofer make the windows shake in my neighbor's house!

For a comedy, I can't believe that Pinkerbell left out one of the 80's best - Ghostbusters! ( NOT Ghostbusters 2, though. Yuck. )

oi das boot is amazing. must watch in german with subtitles, redubbing is crap. the character dynamics are awsome. i love war movies. i get so into them.
i think i might be the only person that enjoyed thin red line. it was a hard book to make into a movie, and they did it very stylistically.

i also have to say lost in translation and virgin suicides rank as tops on my list. sophia coppolia has an interesting way of doing these movies that really have no plot. just a slow conversational character study. birgin suicides is told through the eyes of the neighbors, who really play a small part in the story. the charaters are bare, but they have a depth that is never fully explained. i guess i related a bit too much with the girls hopelessness at times. lost in translation has even less of a plot, it really is about these 2 stranger's relationship and the city. i felt like i had spent a week there. the city is the 3 player in this love triangle. and...the best karaoke scene ever.

My favorites include:

-Ghostbusters (Both, yes, II was decent)
-Beetlejuice
-The Count of Monte Cristo
-Gone In 60 Seconds
-Harry Potter (Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, and coming soon, Prisoner of Azkaban)
-Austin Powers trilogy
-Ice Age
-Pirates of the Caribbean
-Edward Scissorhands
-Hellraiser
-Predator
-Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I think I'll stop there...

Empire Records - that film..........:rawk:

[Dibbie]

Hmmm, Empire Records doesn't do it for me - it reminded me of a bad Breakfast Club.

I suppose I'm just a celluloid junkie so it's very hard for me to pick a favourite movie although Lantana is currently giving most other movies a run for their money in my opinion.

[AngryPaul]

I think I like it cos I only ever see it on very late at night around Xmas/New Year and thats why I like it - easy-going!

Training Day, K-Pax and Fight Club all rule also
