Blade Runner
The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Too many too list! While my favorite genre is horror my top 5 fav films in no particular order:

The Matrix
Watership Down
The Last Unicorn
The Lost Boys
The Little Mermaid (original Hans Christian Anderson 1975 version)

special mention for Transformers: the Movie (1986)

Lots of animated movies, favorite movies from childhood remain favorites today apparently.
:)

The labyrinth is my all time favorite movie. I can watch it over and over. Right behind it though is the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies. I'm a nerd!

This list is always in flux but here goes...

Classic favorites:
John Carpenter's The Thing
Taxi Driver
A Clockwork Orange
Seven Samurai
Yojimbo/Sanjuro
Rosemary's Baby
The Big Lebowski

Newer favorites:
Hereditary
The Witch

Notable mention: I just watched a film last night called The Eyes of My Mother that I really enjoyed. I love slow burn films that are heavy on dread.

i love Tarantino! that guy can sure write some rants and banter dialogue like the Royal w/ Cheese in Pulp Fiction, Like a Virgin in Reservoir Dogs, etc. Great director too. the opening scene at the milk farm and the basement bar scene in Inglorious Basterds is so filled w/ tension (and great acting) i'm on the edge of my seat about to faint.

Some old favorites:

The Big Country (Gregory Peck)
Stagecoach (John Wayne)
Operation Petticoat (Cary Grant)

There are plenty of others, but those are at the top of the list.

Fifth Element
Outlaw Josey Wales
The quick and the dead
Night of the living dead
Resident evil series
12 monkies
Kill bill 1 & 2
Orginal gone in 60 seconds

Okay, I could go for days here... but I'll just list my absolute all time faves...

Goodfellas
Django Unchained
Pulp Fiction
Braveheart
Gangs of New York
The Departed
Boondock Saints
Miracle
House of 1000 Corpses


And some comedies I could watch a million times...

Airplane
Blazing Saddles
Caddyshack
Grandma's Boy
Step Brothers
The Other Guys
Slapshot
My Cousin Cinny


I know I forgot some, but I think you get the point.

My current favorite movie scene is Cap picking up Thor's Hammer.

I hope you don't mean the new Netflix adaptation, but rather the 1970s version with John Hurt. Absolute classic.

Lot of great films already mentioned. But did I miss the mention of STAR WARS?

I can watch anyone of them anytime, even the new Disney ones. I just can't do the prequels. I think I saw each of those only once (which was quite enough for the Clone Wars) or twice. Twice simply because I couldn't believe that it was actually that bad. But the second viewing confirmed.

Other favorites? Evidently I share a lot with other members here. Oh, I'm a big fan of the 1986 version of Little Shop of Horrors. Word on the street was that they were going to do a remake staring Josh Gad and Rebel Wilson (gag me with a spoon!), but seems that petered out. Thank god! Some things just can't be improved on, especially by Rebel Wilson.

Overlong with not-in-the-book filler and not well done. Very UGLY animation.

I really like that story and didn't care for this adaptation at all.

Pulp Fiction was one of only a few movies that I saw twice in a row, and the only movie I saw three times in one day. I saw the first showing on opening day at a theater in La Jolla, California. I was so blown away that as soon as the movie ended, I walked out to the lobby, bought a ticket for a second showing, and went back in. I spent most of the day watching that movie and being in awe. Later that evening I was telling my girlfriend and friend about it and we all ended up going to a showing that night. I had seen Reservoir Dogs for the first time only about a month or so earlier so I was aware of what Tarantino was capable of, but I was not prepared for the impact that movie would have on me.

I was 24 when that movie came out, and today at 48, I'm still a stand for Pulp Fiction. In fact, I still use my "Bad Motherf--ker" wallet to this day.

Awesome story! Loved it.

It’s hard to choose, because different movies cover different needs. Maybe Lord if the Rings if I am allowed to have the whole trilogy, although even then it’s probably tied with Spirited Away.

That's the nice thing about threads like this. We can be reminded of all those great movies we've seen but haven't thought about in a while, like Spirited Away.

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

this is a beautifully acted and perfect scene from my 2018 fav film:

https://youtu.be/tU0EShY2-t8

Without a doubt Pulp Fiction. Greatest line of all time "Step aside Butch (shotgun racks)".

All things Indiana Jones
Star Wars, originals mainly, but the Disney films are pretty good
Braveheart
Bringing Out The Dead
Office Space "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks"
Pretty much all of the old Kevin Costner movies, The Postman, Robin Hood, Dances With Wolves, Waterworld
The really old The Hobbit cartoon

Man, I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but these are the core anyhow.

Solid pick for sure. I've always been quite fond of "Big Kahuna Burger...that's that Hawaiian burger joint." I just love the way Jules says "Hawaiian."

The old Hobbit cartoon. Wow, I had forgotten about that one completely! You know the same people made Return of the King? Why they skipped two books to pick up the series at that point I can't explain. It's much less well known so I thought I'd point it out.

I have a few favorite movies depending on the genre.

Spawn
The Matrix
Heavy Metal
Half Baked
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

bringing this thread back from the dead because i have an interesting movie to recommend on netflix -- in the shadow of the moon. if you like seven or 12 monkeys you'd like this one, just no brad pitt i'm afraid.

Have to say I loved Endgame yesterday .. £5.99 Sky

I don't watch movies often but I think I can pick out a few favorites.

I like most Marvel movies
Fight Club
The Matrix
Underworld movies
Star Wars
Rid:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: movies (Edit: lmao it censored the name, Pitch black and the chronicles of "Vin Diesel plays him")
The first 2 fast and furious movies
Any BBC planet earth or blue planet shows (not sure if those count as movies/films but they are too epic to leave out)

That's all I can think of right now.

omg yes! I loved the movie when I was a kid (and still do) and am about halfway through the Netflix series. wow. They did such a good job capturing the movement of the puppets and the sets and costuming... just spectacular!

i LOVE carol and run lola run.
i am slacking on the dark crystal series, only watched the first episode but loved that movie as a kid...as well as the labyrinth and neverending story.

No lie, I'm doing a Dark Crystal themed enclosure for my hognose now that he's out of quarantine. I love it that much. And the new series is incredible. A true feast for the eyes!
