All time favorite MOVIE...

Forest Gump

 

Shooting Fish

Not because of the movie though

 

Leon: The Professional

The euro release, not the editied American one...

 

I love the Marx Bros. My dad used to buy movies based on certain themes; he bought every Mel Brooks movie he could find, every Marx Brothers movie he could find, and all of his favorite sports movies.

One of my favorite scenes wasn't funny, but incredibly cool - I forget which movie it was in, but I think they were on a boat (maybe it was Duck Soup???) and Harpo was playing the harp, then someone was playing the piano. It really highlights how talented those guys were.

Gotta love em.

 

Matrix

 

Tom Cruise is a "no talent ass -clown"

 

I disagree, Cruise has clout. And I don't think anyone in film has worked with a more impressive lineup of directors than Tom Cruise.

Steven Speilberg
Stanley Kubrick
Martin Scorsese
Francis Ford Coppola
Oliver Stone
John Woo
Ridley Scott
Paul Thomas Anderson
Barry Levinson
Brian Depalma
Ron Howard
Sydney Pollack
Cameron Crowe
Rob Reiner
Neil Jordan

 

wallstreet
glengary glenross

The Quiet Man /John Wayne
Forbidden Planet
War of the Worlds (original)
Once Upon a Time in the West
Gunfight at the OK Carral (Lancaster/Douglas)
As Good as it Gets

 

You got it.

 

A few classics that (i think) have not been mentioned:

The Third Man

Sunset Blvd.

Rebecca

But, if i had to pick just one, it would probably be Casablanca.

While i love Sergio Leone, The Unforgiven is, to me, the ultimate Western.

Horror: Night of the Living Dead

Honorable Mention: Pulp Fiction

There are just too many...

 

1. JAWS (scared the entire country out of the water for 3 months)

As a kid my dad dragged me to Jaws, Alien, and Apocaypse Now... all in a row, in what seems like one long gory year for a kid under the age of 10.

2. Preditor ( cool bunch of guys, great idea )
3. Patton
4. Pulp Fiction- "you ever give a man a foot massage?"
5. Aliens 2 (best action movie)
6. Animal House
7. True Romance

 

Tough to pick. Here're a few I won't change the channel on -

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Bottle Rocket

Sling Blade

American Graffiti

On Any Sunday

Goodfellas

Pulp Fiction

Dogtown and Z-Boys

Magnolia

Caddyshack

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

 

.....BARBER SHOP............

 

Here it was just called The Professional, right? And in Europe just "Leon"?

I am pretty sure I was not the only one who felt more than a little uneasy with how attractive the 13 year old (or so) Natalie Portman was.

What are the differences between the U.S. and Euro editions?

 

best film I have ever watched was a mini series not a movie. Band of Brothers.Best movies
Godfather I and II
Stand by me.

 

Just saw "Boondock Saints" and loved it; for a serious action-esque film it was funny and it had a plot-- and a good one at that. Boiler Room, Snatch, Goodfellas and Usual Supects are my favorite movies..

 

My favorite all time movie is BULLITT
Steve Mcqueen!

 

Forgot to mention Blow.

 

Steve McQueen rocks and the car chase is classic, but don't you think the rest of movie is extremely slow?

 

Thank you. I thought Days of Thunder really sucked.

 

it seems too unfair to just name one.....

Comedy: Big Lebowski, Midnight Run, Life of Brian
War : The Great Escape, Full Metal Jacket
SciFi : 2001, Brazil, Matrix
Movie with Car chase: Ronin
Silly Movie: Dumb & Dumber

 

"Here it was just called The Professional, right? And in Europe just "Leon"?

Yup. Same issue in Beautifull Girls



Casablanca ("louis, I think this is the beginning of a great friedship"; "Gambling in my city?? I'm shocked!" "round up the usual suspects")

To Kill a Mockingbird ("stand up children - your fathers passing")

Used Cars (How much for that 1975 Mercedes 450 SL? 25 thousand dollars??!!! That's TOOOOO F*$%king much!!")

Godfather trilogy
Schindler's list
As Good As it Gets ("you make me want to be a better man")
African Queen
King of Hearts
The Usual Suspects

 

Will, you MUST be kidding. That had to be the worst movie ever put on film! And I'm a Heinlein fan! Doogie Howser as a military ESP guy? NOT.

Some of my favs:

Gumball Rally- The Daytona racing the Cobra was priceless
Ronin - best chase scenes ever
Alien - in space no one can see you crap your pants
Monty Python and Holy Grail - "It's just a flesh wound"
Airplane - "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
The Matrix

 

Cinema Paradiso

Car movie: Grand Prix
