Favorite movie?
 

So, seeing as it is Oscar night, what's everyone's favorite movie (or one of your favorite)?

Having just watched Shawshank Redemption, I must say that it is up there on my favorite movie list. I'm also a big fan of Glory (civil war movie) and Forrest Gump.

Alright, enough about me, who's next :question:

Shawshank Redemption is also one of my favourite movies, But my all time favourite movie is Super Troopers!!! :) :snipersm:

shawshank was good, so was super troopers,

but I like lord of the rings.

remember in super troopers: "hey man, you ate like $120 of mushrooms, did you know that?.....I'm gonna need that money back"

That part was awesome!!

Im a big fan on Independence Day, but LOTR is a close second, followed closly by Bring it On. :cool:

Braveheart has my vote hands down-freeeeeeeeeeeeedooooooooomm!

well i have a top three
Dead man. for those who havent seen it check out this link http://www.nytrash.com/deadman/
ok numer two and three

Aliens

Dune

Shawshank Redemption - my all-time fav. movie along with LOTR.

Monty Pythons' The Meaning of Life - brings back great memories of good times with good friends

Independence Day - despite all the bad "press" it received, it's quite a fun movie to watch if you just suspend your "reality" hat at the door.

The Incredibles - 2nd half is excellent for a cartoon

Finding Nemo - not one of my fav. anymore because it's cost me over $5000 so far :eek: but it's given me a new addiction

Good choices. Especially Dead Man. Hard to fail when you wrap Johnny Depp, William Blake, Neil Young and Jim Jarmusch into a western. Have you seen Fishing With John?

I also thought David Lynch did a fantastic job of translating a very detailed and involving plot from book to screen. Few directors would be able to do Herbert's story justice. Dune is a book and movie I have enjoyed many times.

A few other favorites that I can think of right now are The Shining, A Fistfull of Dollars, Donny Darko, Close Encounters, Reservoir Dogs, Airplane, The Big Lebowski, Clockwork Orange, Twelve Monkeys...

This thread could become very long...

:mrgreen: DAZED AND CONFUSED :mrgreen:

Tough to say, as im a movie fanitic, I would have to say that this is my top 5(not counting tv show box sets in which case season 1-5 of the Sopranos would take it).
1)Casino
2)Scarface
3)Donnie Brasco
4)Good Fellas
5)Man on Fire

I could go on and on, as i list of the 100's of DVD's i have, but as you can tell im a bit of a mob fanatic. Whats everyone running for home theater systems right now?

pulp fiction is pretty awesome too. Natural born killers was good too

14" TV and a DVD / VCR combo we keep in the closet until it's pulled out for a movie night

:lol:

63" Toshiba Cinema Series HD -- NO SOUND SYSTEM THOUGH!!!! BUNK!!!!


What can I say? I got poor...

LOTR (all three extended editions)
Matrix (First one only)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Only ones i can think of off hand...

I really enjoyed the first Matrix as well, but the last 2 dissapointed me greatly.

Grosse Point Blank was another movie I quite enjoy. Oh, and Snatch, that was a good one too.

who can limit their favorite to one movie. so in no particular order..

blade runner
saving private ryan
brazil
rushmore
kellys heros
the empire strikes back
matrix
dr no
ronin
gattaca
a fistful of dollars
true romance

ok 12's probably enough..

Always good for a laugh, not even close to being PC, a Mel Brooks classic... Blazing Saddles.

"The Game" was a cool movie, Does "Super size me" count? :biggrin:
