Most of Zhanns list plus: Starship Troopers Mary Shelleys Frankenstien Bram Stoker's Dracula Legend Willow (so many more)

The following are FILMS. Films are different than movies, because they RULE! 1. Fight Club 2. Ninja Scroll 3. Zoolander 4. Office Space 5. Terminator 2 : Judgement Day That's all I really watch, these days. No VCR, and I only have 8 or 9 DVDs.

rock on shadow!! office space is next on my list.

LOTR I and II Alien I and II Saving Private Ryan Terminator hmm... and 13,14,15,18,19 on Zhann's list.

I'm not a big fan of sci-fi or fantasy movies like most here, save for Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Here's a few of my favs: Taxi Driver The Shawshank Redemption Planes, Trains and Automobiles The Lonely Guy The Fugitive Back to the Future Midnight Run At Close Range Jurassic Park Saving Private Ryan

Hmmm. Great question and thread. Some of my top faves... 1. Somewhere in time. 2. Crouching tiger hidden dragon. 3. 20000 leagues under the sea. 4. O Brother, Where Art Thou? 5. Allegro non troppo 6. All Clint Eastwood westerns.

1.The 5 deadly venoms 2.Fight Club 3.Full Metal Jacket 4.The legend of Ran 5.The Matrix Trilogy I have more but....this was off the top of my head.

1.All the films of the Lumiere Brothers(they started it all) 2.Casablanca 3.Kind Hearts and Coronets 4.The Bridge Over the River Kwai 5.Blade Runner I love just about all the films everyone has mentioned as well.

Someone mentioned there's a difference between films and movies. I think I know what they mean. Like there's a difference between movie actors and movie stars. But anyway, make your own decision whether mine are films or movies. I can't believe that Star Wars (Original) aren't in the list. Wasn't Star Wars voted most popular film ever? Maybe that was in a poll of Star Wars fans. Lot of good films in the above list. So (to be a little bit different).... Hunt for Red October (Crimson Tide was good sub movie too) Shawshank Redemtion Leon (I think it was called The Professional in the US) The Prophecy (Walken was perfect casting) Pulp Fiction Dogma (I thought it was a laugh and quite clever) ((I like all the New Jersey Trilogy actually, but maybe not top 10)) Also mentions for 2001, Star Wars, Blade Runner, 6th Sense, Lock Stock, Matrix, Alien(s), Pretty much any western, classic war films, (Great Escape etc), the old musicals, any Sci-Fi, most political thrillers, fantasy... (keeps continuing the list into the distance until someone tells him to shut up.) AND finally, an honourable mention for one of the worst films of the recent year... "The Core". I didn't enjoy that at all and it was only extreme will power that stopped me walking out. Maybe this OT thread should go further OT and have a list of bad movies.

O.K. drawbridgep, good idea (officially hijacking Woodhurst's thread): Favorite: 1. Casablanca 2. The Day the Earth Stood Still 3. Any Marx Brothers film 4. Toy Story 1 and 2 5. The Maltese Falcon (no. 6 would be The Matrix) Least Favorite: 1. My Dinner with Andre (the most boring film ever popular with film critics) 2. Any Friday the 13th film 3. Maximum Overdrive (sorry Stephen) 4. Dude, Where's My Car (I hate this movie, and I haven't even seen it) 5. Can't remember the name, but the Godzilla movie where there's a Godzilla Jr. :^)

Some films I like: Spirited Away (almost all of Miyazaki's films, actually) Angel Heart Alien/Aliens (not the other two) Shrek Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels/ The Snatch LOTR: Two Towers That was the top ... many :-) at the moment. Then Apocalypse Now The Unforgiven (Eastwood) Blade Runner Stand by Me Misery Oh, Brother, Where Are Thou Life of Brian 48 Hours/ Streets of Fire/ Long Riders/ Southern Comfort Last Action Hero Indiana Jones (the first two) Whew, so many still to list ... Then, there are visually stunning films which are not that great as films. I think that every visual artist would benefit from seeing them, if not for other reason then just to see what's possible: The Cell (the mind sequences are incredibly well designed) Vidocq The Hunger I also like film noir, just because of the lighting, which might be noticeable here and there in my pics. :-)

Ok well thats a hard question. Dark City Equilibrium Fargo Reservoir dogs Airplane some movies worth watching are: Interstate 60 Jimmy Neutron all monty python movies

OMG: Doesn't aynone still remember the original Star Wars Trilogy ?!?!?!?!?!? My single favorite movie is Return of the Jedi. Timing has a lot to do with it. I was seven when the first Star Wars came out, so I kinda grew up with that series. Other favorites: Matrix Air Force One Fists of Legend (awesome martial arts) Dune Aliens Sixth Sense Raiders of the Lost Ark (Just the first & third)

Oh, I forgot to mention Bowling for columbine!!!

I'm with Padawan Nick--number one is the the Star Wars Trilogy. Close behind are the LOTR and Matrix trilogies (Matrix Revolutions out November 5--I've already got tickets). Terminator 1&2 are in there as well. Then Alien & Aliens. In total that's more than 5 (it's like 13), but it's hard to narrow down.

Alien The Core LOTR Trilogy Star Trek (All of them) Star Wars (All of them) The Song Remains The Same (Led Zepplin Movie) Hundreds of others. My son and I have had a competition running for years now. If we are watching a movie we try to ask each other questions about the film and actors...ie: Name three films that actor was in...or what was the name of the original of the movie we are watching. (for example: What was the name of the film remade as 'Red Dragon'? Answer: Manhunter) My son is a head by several billion points......LOL

Finding Nemo..........the funniest, emotional ani to date. Pulp Fiction..........totally wicked. Forbidden Planet..........scared me stupid when I was a kid. Truely, Madly, Deeply...........this one always makes me cry. Ice Age...........the best ani ever. Final Fantasy............the best ani ever. All Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Matrix, Tomb Raider, Terminator, Beatles, etc, etc, etc. As well as all that's been mentioned above and far too many more to write here. 8) Catlin

drawbridge, i think star wars is a given, i mean, who doesnt like those?(the first 3 that is:) thought of a few more... any Quentin Terintino (I havent seen Jackie Brown) snatch Apocalypse now spirited away was awesome too... almost everything on erliks list:)))

The Matrix trilogy is defenitely my Fav by far :) Then it's closely folloed by: Ice Age, Shrek, Monsters inc, Alien, Aliens, Alien resurrection (still gotta see Alien 3 some time), star trek movies, starwars, LOTR trilogy, MIB, The Fast & The Furious.

Alien 3 is a must see, it is much darker than the others and one of the highlights of the movie was that there were no highlights, ie. no white. Catlin

lol I can't believe I haven't seen Desperado mentioned grinsssss can't wait to see the next one!! (now if only they'd let me take Antonio home....hmmmm)

Don't we all wish Jen? lol 8)

oh yeaah desperado!! once upon a time in mexico rocked as well.

desperado? haven't even heard of it. and who is antonio?

antonio banderas, he was in zorro (the new one) desperados is sorta like a spanish pulp fiction/mafia movie, and once upon a time in mexico is the next one (its a trilogy--el mariacho is the 1st in the trilogy)

gotta see if I can find it somewhere then. I'm bot really into gangster movies, but if it's a good one that doesn't really matter :)

I am not usually fond of documentaries, but "Brother From Another Planet" was awesome!!

It's funny how these OT threads always are the most popular.....

And yeah, Like Rayraz i'm also into gangster movies. Like that whole depression thing.

1. Minority Report 2. Equilibrium 3. Matrix(1, only) 4. Fight Club 5. LOTR Trilogy And, the list could go on... There are several reasons I really don't like Matrix 2. For one thing, it obviously wasn't meant to be a trilogy, I mean, Matrix 1 finished. 2 looks kinda cobbled together, and there were some entirely pointless scenes(zion techno-orgy - why?) It's also the first time I've been bored in a fight scene, Neo vs. Agent Smiths? Neither can die, again, no point. I'm not even going to bother seeing The Matrix: Revolution, because... *** * * * * SPOILER * * * * *** Neo proposes an alliance with the the machines against Agent Smith. Stupidest. Idea. Ever. *** * * * * /SPOILER * * * * ***

Don't you dare tell us what's going into the final Matrix antevark, some of us just love the films and I can't wait to see the final installment, so just don't you dare. 8) Jen that is a lovely collection of Antonio's I think I'll copy it and go drool for a while. lol 8D Catlin

The Matrix story line is even in one of th trailers, so I don't think it's a major spoiler. I liked the Matrix cause it was different. I liked Reloaded even though the fights are a little bit too staged. And yes I'm gonna go see revolutions. Channel 5 over here in the UK are having a Matrix night. The Matrix, Making of Revolutions, Animatrix: Second Renaissance, major league baseball. Oh wait, that might not be part of the Matrix. Anyway, that's my evening sorted.

My Top Five Movies 1. Ghost in the Shell 2. Blade Runner (unrated version) 3. Moulin Rouge 4. Spirited Away 5. Sneakers There are many others, but these are the ones I keep returning to time and time again.

OOoohhhh ghost in the shell get's a mention, one of my faves. Haven't seen anyone mention The Crying Freeman yet... The original 3 Star Wars films were great, shame about the prequels which have been terrible (except for Yoda's fight scene lol) So 2 more to complete my five, Blade Runner and Joan of Arc (with Milosovitch as the lead).

What, Milosovitch was Joan of Arc? hehehehe 8)

Memories (The magnetic Rose). LOTR, The return of the King is going to rock. Laputa, Castle in the sky. Jin Roh (The wolf brigade). Patlabor II (it still gives me the shivers when the tanks roll into Tokyo) I know it is a load of Anime, but who cares, i enjoy it ^_^

Lol ooooopppss, should have been Jovovich, Milla Jovovich I fancy, Milosovich I don't!!!!

Lee-Loo! corrrrrr...!

Baaaadaboom! That probably should be my 5th place film. I fergot all about it.... must have been a stroke. and of course... Multipass!
