What is your favorite movie of all time?

[Kaido]

Back to the Future (first one).

Someday, a Delorean will be mine...:awe:

 

[Kaido]

i've never seen amelie or momento

Momento was amazing. Main character is the bad guy from the Count of Monte Cristo - another great movie!

 

[Siddhartha]

Dr. Strangelove

 

[Kaido]

he's the only one that ever mentions it I think. it's good to know that there is one die-hard Hudson Hawk fan in the world. Such a terrible movie, but it's great that it has fans.

Now, will anyone join my Howard the Duck fan club?

...


anyone?

....crickets...

I will!! That Christmas, I told my parents I wanted one of those 6-wheeled ATV's under the tree.

I think I got socks :\

 

[Kaido]

Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan.

I can't how realistic Jurassic Park STILL looks - 17 years later! I wish some of that graphical goodness would rub off on SyFy shows :hmm:

 

[Kaido]

How in the hell did you manage to sit through District 9?
That was horrible.

Seriously? District 9 was great! Fun graphics, fun story, I'd definitely watch a sequel!

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Terminator 2, best action movie ever
The English Patient, amazing film really love how they tell the story with flash backs.
Casablanca, best American film ever made.
Some Like It Hot, best comedy ever made. Marilyn Monroe, Billy Wilder and one of the best scripts ever created.

Ya, have to agree there. The theatrical version to. It has a better flow to it. The directors cut is interesting after you have seen the theatrical release. You can tell why some scenes were cut (director commentary also helps).

I still think that "Let the Right One In" is one of hte best movies I have ever seen though. Atleast in recent memory.

 

[Kaido]

The Princess Bride is definitely my all-time favorite movie.

TPB is a classic. I still crack up every time I see Cary Elwes in other movies or TV shows. Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while!

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm sorry, but all of the people saying T2 must not have watched it recently and are clinging to some sort of nostalgia. D:

[Loop2kil]

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned already:
Shawshank
Pulp
Se7en
LOTR


I think my favorite of all time is Platoon

 

[CallMeJoe]

Memento.

And Guy Pearce was better in L.A. Confidential.

I have a guy at work who LOVES Hudson Hawk, and makes at least one reference to it every week....

Haven't seen Howard the Duck myself, I would like to though as I've heard very good things about it.

What is your favorite movie of all time?

War Games

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

oh wow, so many to choose from

Metropolis - those who understand the true meaning will never think the same
Dial M for Murder - A hitchcock classic, love the complex story that had me guessing till the end.
Bonnie and Clyde -revolutionary in the influence it had on hollywood
Blade Runner - best effing graphics in a movie without CGI ever.
Diner - Great performance by Mickey Rourke
Unforgiven - Clint Eastwood. Best to date IMO
Gladiator - just been a fan every since it came out. Dunno why.
Inception only because its the better movie ive seen in the past 5 years. A great change from the superhero bullshit that has been spewing out of hollywood. So many others though...

 

[Possessed Freak]

War Games

How about a nice game of chess?

Have you seen the version released this year with the extra 30 minutes that had been found and restored? I'd only seen a version from before that, which was missing a lot of content....

 

[Skitzer]

The Deer hunter

 

[InflatableBuddha]

It's decent, but Die Hard is a much better action movie.

I saw it when it toured here. The found footage from Argentina is in very, very rough shape; you can definitely see the differences when the new footage is spliced in. It is good to have though as it adds additional materials, some particular sub-stories that were completely missing from the original film. The new one actually has a few new title cards as well, explaining some of the new footage IIRC.

Yippe ki-yay MotherF*****!

 

[KeithTalent]

Agreed. That is a good, fun, adult action movie. The way action flicks should be. :thumbsup:

I heard about some technology that is being used now which compares objects in multiple frames to improve the definition of them, and clean them up .... essentially ... scan all the frames in, compare them all to each other, and then enhance each frame 1 by 1 .... VERY time consuming and expensive currently (though if done entirely through software, it could in theory anyway, work wonders for lots of old classics that have been damaged over the ages.)

Yup ... I'll join the Howard the Duck club. Saw it at a drive-in back in the day, and LOVED it. Not seen it more than once since, but I should dredge it up again

Red Dawn is another of those movies

 

[Homerboy]

There really isn't one for me.

but it's among: 8 1/2, The Deer Hunter, Godfather II, Raging Bull. I've probably forgotten a few. There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, Unforgiven are more recent flicks that I think are just as good as those.

If you love Amadeus, you should check out Immortal Beloved. It's certainly not as good a film, but I like it much more--mostly b/c I prefer Beethoven by several orders of magnitude, and, well, Gary Oldman. It's like an extended music video. it is very awesome, very beautifully shot. It remains one of my favorite BDs, too.

I seriously can not pick a single movie as my "favorite"... that's simply impossible. I'm not even going to try.

That being said, zinfamous is SO spot-on with Immortal Beloved. I LOVE Amadeus (the Man, the music and the movie) but IB is about Beethoven and shit does NOT get better than that. It also has singularly the BEST version of Symphony #9 ever in the soundtrack (played at the end of the movie). SOLID goosebumps everytime. It's amazing that a mortal man can make such amazing music. And yes... Oldman. Enough said.

WTH zinfamous. We need to get together and watch some movies man!
Howard the Duck and HH are CLASSICS.

Oh and Royal Tannenbaums? BEYOND awesome movie. though I coin flip between that and Rushmore for all time best Anderson movie. "What're you lookin' at Coltrain?"
