What is your favorite movie ever?

[Im Still Ballin]

American Beauty for me

Kevin Spacey is good

[Draz]

Schindler's List

definitely life changing.

[fiddy]

None, movies are a waste of time and overrated AF.

[Nilocon165]

American Psycho

Such a quotable movie

Haven't seen Schindler's List but when I have time, I plan to. I've also heard this movie is quite life changing.

Saving Private Ryan was a distant second but after SPR, there is quite a huge drop off from my other top 5-10 movies. I had a hard time believing while watching this in high quality that was made in 1998. I felt there were movies made after like We Were Soldiers in 2002 that weren't as well done in terms of graphic violence (although I thought that movie was also great too, especially if you know the history behind We Were Soldiers - they covered the less bloody half of the battle, the second battle at LZ Albany was literally an all out bloodbath compared to what was shown in the movie). I remember having a newfound respect while driving by my local VFW. I always knew it was there and I passingly met a few WWII/Vietnam vets when I was there as a kid. Our area has quite a handful of vets from Vietnam from what I remember.

[Micku]

The Dark Knight or Before Sunset

[ThePhantomCreep]

GoodFellas

[Orlando Magic]

I can't say I have a definitive all time favorite.

Forrest Gump
Good Will Hunting
Jurrasic Park
Back to the Future
Terminator 2
Halloween
Goodfellas
Taken
John Wick
Drive

These are all way the **** up there. Right now it would be Gump if I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO pick.

I really enjoyed it as a kid but as an adult it is absolutely ****ing brilliant and I see multiple things I didn't 100% get as a kid. Probably my favorite. Yeah.

[Orlando Magic]

Said a guy posting on InsideHoops.

LOL on multiple levels at that level of hypocrisy.

How so? I just consider watching holywood movies to be more worthless than posting on ISH, which says a lot :oldlol:

[Draz]

John Wick was good, but just so fake man. Like, hella fake. Drive was absolute shit, most boring piece of shit movie ever.

[Orlando Magic]

John Wick was good, but just so fake man. Like, hella fake. Drive was absolute shit, most boring piece of shit movie ever.

Drive had a lot of butt clenching suspense and the soundtrack and score were near perfection. All of the actors were brilliant in their respective roles and the overall movie was... different. The appeal to me probably was the fact that's it considerable in it's difference from other films, and I've seen a lot of movies.

Of course John Wick was fake. So was Taken. Any movie where a guy can single-handily take out dozens of guys at once is fake and unrealistic. It's a movie. I don't judge movies off of realism unless it's intended to be realistic and follow the walls of "the real world".

[Patrick Chewing]

The Prestige

The Fugitive

The Thin Red Line

[SpaceJam]

Die Hard.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

The Prestige

The Fugitive

The Thin Red Line

The Fugitive is a solid 8.5/10. I loved the first time I watched it.

The Thin Red Line is a solid 8.5/10. It was very well done. The soundtrack in parts of the movie sounded so spiritual. I still have trouble understanding the plot though.

[nightprowler10]

The Matrix.

[StephHamann]

Full Metal Jacket

[pauk]

If i had to pick one = Monty Python & The Holy Grail.

[Schotsman]

Fargo, I guess. Though 'O brother where art thou?' is right up there.

And my brother has a 6yo son who always enjoys watching Ratatouille very much and I have to say that that move has a very nice 'charm' to it. Can't really describe it properly.

[red1]

shawshank redemption

[$LakerGold]

The Terminal.

I love Tom Hanks.

[vetlantram]

Godfather & Jaws.

[Hotlantadude81]

**** Hollywood and all their shitty actors.

[Annyong!]

Forrest Gump
Good Will Hunting
Jurrasic Park
Back to the Future
Terminator 2
Halloween
Goodfellas
Taken
John Wick

Some of those are absolute classics. Not sure how you can bunch Taken and John Wick with the rest of them though.

[HarryCallahan]

Most of y'all got bad taste... REAL bad..

Agreed. Bold are trash.

Then you won't like Schyster's list.

[HarryCallahan]

The Departed shits on Goodfellas. Strange how decent Leo's accent is in that given how atrocious his Seth Effriken one is.


Scorcese flicks:

1. Cape Fear
2. Taxi Driver
3. The Departed
4. Raging Bull
5. Last Temptation

[plowking]

Probably The Fifth Element for me.

Jurassic Park, Shutter Island, Spirited Away and Green Mile probably round up my top 5.

[ArbitraryWater]

Apocalypse Now, Goodfellas, Departed, Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, American Psycho, Godfather 1&2, The Shawshank Redemtpion, Shutter Island, Inglorius Basterds, Leon, Usual Suspects

[Schotsman]

Probably The Fifth Element for me.

Jurassic Park, Shutter Island, Spirited Away and Green Mile probably round up my top 5.

The LOTR trilogy
Matrix
Inglorious Basterds

I've been watching a bunch of anime recently, since I just came back from Japan. :oldlol:
I'm rewatching Samurai Champloo at the moment. Will have to put GOTF on the list too. Thanks for reminding me. I have seen it before, and I remember it being great, but Spirited Away was just awesome for me. Loved the story.

[alenleomessi]

[Jasi]

Blade Runner.

2nd tier includes:
2001 (Kubrick)
Taxi driver (Scorsese)
Pi (Aronofski)

I thought about this myself too . My favs for rewatch value:

Tremors, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, A Night at the Roxbury, Big Trouble in Little China, Office Space

With so many good series' out, it's tough to find time to watch movies nowadays, let alone rewatch a movie.

American comedies, yes. Good script and good actors can create rewatch value such as Louis de Fun

Lol, comedies have the most rewatch factor, because of their simplicity.. sure, it may get worse, but generally it stays funny for a while. Just easy to sit through.


True.
I don't know the director you mentioned but, for instance, Young Frankenstein always makes me laugh and so does Benigni.

However, 90% of comedies are idiotic and hardly make me laugh at first watch...

You dont know Louis de Fun
