Whay is your favorite movies?

[RoadRaven]

Highlander (the first one, not any of the others)... my fave all-time romance (despite all the head-chopping)

Fight Club... brilliantly written script, though rather violent

Serendipity, Notting Hill - lovely feel-good romances

As Good As It Gets - again, extraordinarily clever lines at times... a bit of reality...

Blade... a vampire movie, but my fave vampire movie - very sexy without the sex

Predator, Terminator, Alien, Matrix - the firsts of all four very good sci-fi. Subsequent sequels sometimes disappointing

Jaws (one of course) - a movie that still stands the test of time.

Hunt for Red October - well scripted, well-filmed.

The Black Stallion - hardly any speech and could be discounted as a kids film but the cinematography on this is just awesome

I love movies, I'm sure I'll return to this thread

I think we were made from the same cloth. All your movies I love and own on dvd. How funny!

Sorry about the post title miss spelling there. I must have been tired and wasn't paying attention when I wrote it.

Ah... we just have excellent taste... what can I say?

Can I add in... Witches of Eastwick (a bit of wicked fun)


How did I leave the Shawshank Redemption and Mystery Men... or Scent of a Woman and the Wedding Singer off my list? Excellent calls, Eden and Lenusik.

Napolean Dynamite - I didn't know quite what to make of that movie Newbie... would I watch it again? - yup. could I tell anyone what it is about? - prolly not!

[FreshNewbie]

LoL i just thought it was funny sort of "stupid" funny. Most of us have a little Napoleon Dynamite in us. I really liked the dance show part :-)

[FreshNewbie]

Another movie worth adding is Layer Cake.

Recent Comedy:
Hitch - don't miss the dance scene at the end. So funny!!
Wedding Crashers
Something's Gotta Give

Still funny after all these years:
Blast From the Past - Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken
My Cousin Vinny - Whatever happened to Marisa Tomei? She's fabulous in this.
Mrs. Doubtfire - Williams was so funny
Charlie's Angels 1 & 2 - I don't know why I like these movies, they just make me laugh
Groundhog Day
Moonstruck - great cast. Cher missed her calling as a singer
Working Girls


Drama, sci-fi, & epic stories
Million Dollar Baby
Erin Brokovich
Shawshank Redemption - my favorite, still
Goodfellas - good story and great music
Pulp Fiction
Fargo - is this comedy or drama??
Se7en (Really, anything Morgan Freeman is in)
Aliens (or maybe I just like the chin-up scene...)
The Italian Job
The Abyss
Walk the Line
Oceans 11
Minority Report - if you can stand Tom Cruise
The Firm - ditto on Tom Cruise, but the rest of the cast is good
Pearl Harbor - clearly a "guilty pleasure" thing on my part
Dances with Wolves - I still watch this once in a while, and cry my eyes out.

The Age of Innocence. (I'm an Edith Wharton fan---this story has special meaning to me, and I think the movie really did the book proud).

Agnes Brown.

The Pianist.

Evelyn (I think that's what it's called --- Pierce Brosnan is in it, and it's set in Ireland).

Meet the Parents.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High---one reason: Jeff Spigoli (Sean Penn)--awwwwlright! Takes me back to the day, as does "Valley Girl," "Pretty in Pink," etc.

Not in any particular order, and I'll probably come back with more suggestions:

• Anything with Edward Norton in it ,except "Everyone Says I Love You" - he's not in it enough and it's a corny, Woody Allen musical (nothing against Woody Allen, I just don't think musicals are his forte)
• Boondock Saints
• Dogtown & Z-Boys - okay, I skated for a while, but even without that in my past, this is a great documentary with some awesome pre-Tony Hawk skateboard footage
• Dogma (actually, most Kevin Smith movies, pre-Jersey Girl)
• Ghost World
• The Usual Suspects
• Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas - the real Hunter makes a cameo!
• Orange County
• Repo Man
• Dr. Strangelove
• Bad Santa (also by the director of Ghost World)
• Being John Malkovich - just when you think it can't get weirder, it will
