I have pined this topic and few others so we can get some movie info in them from our new members.

[~Night.Wolfe~ 16]

The Highlander....'There can be only One...........Conor, where are we?'

 

YES!! Another Highlander fan!

 

 

- The Princess Bride [1987] A classic fairy tale, but includes one of the best sword fights in any movie I have ever seen. It is almost as if two people who actually know how to fence are fighting . . .

 

- Raiders of the Lost Ark [1981] Non-stop action, reminiscent of the cliff-hangers from an earlier age. The later installments in the series paled in comparison and the new one coming out soon will probably bite.

 

Great taste for the classics Ike! Who doesn't love Indiana Jones? "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die."

 

Okay this isn't in any specific order...

 

1. 12 Monkeys

2. American History X

3. Primal Fear

4. Harry Potter (all)

5. Beauty and the Beast (Disney)

6. Butterfly Effect

7. Stigmata

8. Elizabeth

9. Flatliners

10. Dangerous Liaisons

11. The Illusionist

12. The Prestige

13. Equilibrium

 

etc etc etc.... I could go on forever...

[myles 2]

Another Christian Bale fan? Equilibrium is good, but if you have good eyes there were so many theatric mistakes. The cut is not good enough to hide these errors. But the story is very good, just nothing like the Matrix.

 

Anyway, I recently saw the "Kill Bill" v.1 v.2 again without the annoying subtitle, and I must say I appreciated the movie a lot more. Well of course I'm being unfair, I happens to know all the languages used in the film (struggled a bit with the Japanese).

 

No I'm not asking you all to learn all these languages in order to see this one film, but this film is uniquely something. A revenge movie! How many directors dared to do it. And to do it in three/four different languages! And on top of that, local crews were used wherever the scene is filmed. That takes guts I think.

 

No it won't be my favorite movie, not of Quentin Tarantino either, but I throughly enjoyed it.

Oh the best Ihave ever seen is the LOTR!

 

I just can't stop watching it

[myles 2]

LOTR surely has a mystic appeal to it. Agree... still didn't make it my all time though, and many can guess y. The books of course. They are something else.

 

Anyway, I'm wondering if we can change gear a little bit. Quite a few of us know about movies, I'm wondering about your take on B&W. Oh those are really something else.

 

Of the little B&W I seen, I loved "Shichinin no samurai" deeply (Seven Samurai).

 

Akira Kurosawa's films are extraordinary, but this one really is something else. Although I have trouble looking for anything older from him. Any expert around and can possibly enlighten me?

[gial 2]

well, my answer is a bit unusual. As I said on my forum application, my favorite movie is extremely difficult to select - I really liked so many of the selections listed above.

 

That said, the best movie I have ever seen is none of my favorites -- it is the ONLY movie I have seen that I will never watch again. It was just too emotionally draining. I sat and cried for 15 minutes after it ended before I could even get out of my seat to leave. Tears come even now, 30 years later, just thinking of it.

 

The Deer Hunter.

[podgie_bear 184]

Aaahhhh! How to choose, so many good films but only a very few GREAT films!

 

Well, my all-time favourites would have to be;

 

1) The Passion of the Christ - (I will never get over this film!)

 

2) Hobson's Choice

 

3) The African Queen

 

4) Fried Green Tomatoes

 

5) The Music Man

 

6) Desperado

 

7) Animal House

 

8) Fiddler on the Roof

 

9) The 13th Warrior

 

10) Ice Age

 

I leave it to you to find out about these films if you are interested. Who knows, you might try them and find you like them too!

Telari do u like the ring? it was humiliating when I saw it I was like hiding behind a friend of mines shoulder 70% of the movie! and she was a girl that had invited me over because she didnt dare to see it alone

[gogoblender 3,068]

I didn't mind Ring too much...but I honestly like some other japanese horror movies better...

 

Grudge just plain rocks

 

 

gogo

[Erling 3]

yeah and that animated movie chihiro and th witches or something ?

 

PS: now I got to run to school then france

[TelariTurunen 0]

I always watch horrors alone I don't think Ringu is scary or something, more sad.

 

Ow my... I forgot about Dark Water ^^ I like that film (of course Japanese version).

 

Telari

[gogoblender 3,068]

Yes, Telari, I agree, and it's very much true... it was more a movie that got us sad than especially scared. I also loved the way they had to figure out what was going on from all the pictures and sleuth their way to the final area.

There was something I did really like that I saw in Ringu...the first time I ever saw that very creepy way they moved dead people in that chopped /sequence moves. It was the first time I saw it and it to this day that effect has been copied in so many other japanese horror movies.

 

Respect
