Really pleased to see Silent Running on Cassini's list. Good choice! There was a Tron there somewhere too. These folk got good taste.

Thanks for the compliment. Silent Running was one of the first sci-fi movies I ever saw. I think it's enviromental message is even more compellimg today than when it was first released. I wish the DVD was available.

[lucyrocks73]

Marty's List of Top Movies (in no particular order):

-Titanic (I've loved it since it first came into theatres when I was five. My mother took me because she wanted to see it and there was no babysitter. And thus an obsession was born, because I know more about the Titanic than most people do. Don't get me started, because I will never shut up).

-Pirates of the Carribbean (Both- I was reluctant to see the first one, but I loved it. I saw the second one twice in theatres... Best line: "I got a jar of dirt, I've got a jar of dirt!"

-Phantom of the Opera (Okay, I'm a musical freak... I think Emmy Rossum has a sweet voice, and Gerald Butler is extremely incharacter. And Patrick Wilson is brilliant as well.)

-RENT (Haven't seen it for a while, but it's a great movie.)

-Moulin Rouge (Ah... classic... I still think that the director, whose name I can never spell correctly, should have directed RENT... Not that I don't love Chris Columbus, I just think that Baz whatever-his-last-name-is would be more appropriate)

-West Side Story (So sad... I cry everytime I watch it...)

-Newsies (a given... Racetrack is my favorite newsie, but then again, Christian Bale is currently number one on my list of top five hottest guys.)

-High School Musical (Only because I'm Kelci in the stage musical right now. It's an okay movie- the score is good, as is the acting, but the singing is a little weak, as is the lipsyncing and Ashley Trisdale's tap dancing. Actually, her tap dancing is MORE than a little weak- it sucks. She was probably my least favorite out of everyone, even though I adore her character.)

-The Princess Diaries (Classic Marty chick flick... I loved it... The second one was good, but not as good as the first.)

-13 Going on 30 (Hello? Not only is Sean Marquette, the voice of our beloved Mac in the beginning and end, but it also has lots of eighties pop culture refferences which I adore.)

And there are probably more... But I don't feel like rooting through my DVD drawer to look.

-Marty 8-)

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Marty's List of Top Movies (in no particular order):

-Titanic (I've loved it since it first came into theatres when I was five. My mother took me because she wanted to see it and there was no babysitter. And thus an obsession was born, because I know more about the Titanic than most people do. Don't get me started, because I will never shut up).

WOW you sure like muscials ;D. But that's all well in good, I myself am actually a big fan and lover of the Titanic movie. I actually get alot of flak and weird looks from people because I'm a guy and the movie's too "sappy for a guy to like it".

But I thought it was a breathtaking movie. It's deep, it's serious, it's intense, it's a movie that is an expierence one cannot easily duplicate. I was so pissed I couldn't find it on DVD until I found they were releasing it on special edition.

I bought it and loved watching it again. Titanic is also one of the very FEW movies that have brought me to tears (the scene with the frozen baby at the end really got to me). Other films include "Independe Day" and "United 93".

[lucyrocks73]

I'm a music freak by nature, I guess.

I LOVE Titanic. When I was little and had the two tape widescreen VHS, I used to fast forward to the part when the ship went down.

Now I skip the second half altogether sometimes. I really love the movie, though...

-Marty 8-)

[Amritama]

I'm not an avid movie fan, but I can pick out a few of my favorites easily:

1. God Only Knows - Best. Movie. EVER. Excellent cast, hilarious references to pop culture, song spoofs, and a pretty good ending for a comedy movie. How could I not love this little gem?

2. Mumbai Express - I didn't think I'd like this movie, but I did. It has a lot more heart than many mainstream Bollywood movies that claim to be filled with jumbling emotions and whatnot (MExpress wasn't on emotional crack or anything, but there was never one completely emotionally shallow moment). The movie had an interesting blend of characters and excellent screenplay. It never had any boring movements and there weren't any dance sequences present to lag the story. In fact, the only song that actually plays in the whole movie is the theme song, but it was inserted in a very suitable scene.

3. The Lion King - It was the first movie I saw in a movie theatre (well, this and Little Women). I think this was Disney's best movie. It had more of an epic feeling and perfectly integrated the whole "Circle of Life" concept in Simba's life. Also, the animation and score were stellar.

Mine is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". That has got to be the best movie with the live action and animation combination i've ever seen. Not to mention, Roger Rabbit is my favorite cartoon character. :D

My favorite movie is probably The Patriot.

America. Heck yes.

[frankie_fan]

Hot Shots! Part Deux

Funniest. Movie. Ever. :frankiesmile:

[Nathander]

Eraserhead

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Jeepers Creepers

I actually have way too many movies to list as my favorites, but if I was forced to pick one, this film easily takes the pick of the litter in my book.

[Cassini90125]

I know there's already a thread but it's old sooooooooo...

So you'll make me find it, I guess. Reviving old threads = good. Making new threads when we have viable threads on the same topic already = overworked, cranky moderator. Not so good. :herriman:

Uhhh, was this thread made before? :terrconf:

quite probably.

It was, and now they are one. :bloocross:

My favorite movie is still 2001: A Space Odyssey, by the way. :)

[LaBloo]

favorite Movies:

Forrest Gump
Sleepless In Seattle
White Men Can't Jump
Rocky 1,2,3,4,5
Ghostbusters
Spaceballs

[jekylljuice]

I know that a lot of people, when queried what their favourite movie is, will go for which ever picture they see as being the greatest and most impressive piece of film-making of all time. I personally always say the Hudsucker Proxy because it's the movie which genuinely makes me laugh and smile more than any other. That sequence charting the production and subsequent sales of the Hula Hoop never gets old. And Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Paul Newman are all great in it. God, such a wonderful film. A real pity it never got the critical or financial recognition it deserved.

Also high on my favourites list are the Back to the Future trilogy and Ghost World (a wonderful film that's probably a heck of a lot closer to my own life right now than I'd like to acknowledge). And Michael Wadleigh's documentary of Woodstock, of course. That three and a half hours worth of film he shot and compiled is probably the closest I'll ever get to being at the legendary concert myself without the aid of a time-travelling Delorean, so hats off to him.

["C" the Dragon]

So far, my favorite movie is "The Last Mimzey". It's such a cool movie!:D

[LaBloo]

I hate answering this question, because I'd love the answer to be something really weird and eclectic that no-one else has ever seen (thereby validating my status as a special and wonderfully unique person, just like my mummy always told me); unfortunately, the truthful answer is Star Wars, which is just about the most boring choice in the world. :P I have the same problem with videogames, where my favourtie is Zelda: Ocarina of Time. ::) I guess I'm just a big walking cliché.

To confirm this, here, in no particular order, is my extended list of largely dull and intensely conventional movie picks.

Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi
The Indiana Jones series
The Incredibles
Toy Story 1 and 2
Finding Nemo
The Iron Giant
The Big Lebowski
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
The Powerpuff Girls Movie
The Prestige
Pulp Fiction
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Alien
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
This Is Spinal Tap
Casablanca
Fargo
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Silence of the Lambs
Team America: World Police

Ugh...that was even more boring than I thought it would be. :( Honorable mentions also go to Cars, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Aladdin, Hercules, Flushed Away, Memento and Hannibal, which I particularly cling to, because I think I'm the only person in the world who actually likes it. See, I am special - my mummy was right! :bloocross:

[montitech]

my favorite movie is

The Muppet Movie.

I have a bunch of second favorites but this is one I cannot get enough of. And unlike many other Great movies It works well on the small screen.

MOnty :-/
