What's your favorite movie?

I'm going to watch Memento tonight. xkcd said it was good.

 

I can not find a movie i like, i will watch blood and guts ones if they are above inane,
there are no sci fi worth watching, war of the worlds was just watchable.

 

"Revolver" with Jason Statham. This movie is extremely psychological. I had to watch it two or three times to actually understand what's it about.

 

alien vs preditor 2 was an alright show but i sorta like the first 1 better mostly because of where it takes place.

 

"Citizen Kane," my fave of all time. Take it with a giant grain of salt, though, I don't watch movies very often.

"Momento" is great. It does have some violence, but it's OK in the context of the plot, and I don't think it's gratuitous.

 

I rarely watch movies (usually cant make myself sit there that long), but when I do I usually go for something stupid and funny ie Will Ferrell movies. For a really old one I like that old bike movie "On Any Sunday". Two movies I can watch again and again are the Blues Brothers and the Blues Brothers 2000 although the first one is hands down the best.

 

Definitely all of the Metal Gear solid games of the Metal Gear Solid series are a must see . Its advertised as a video game. But its really a movie. But the cutscenes are more interesting than the gameplay in my opinion. But just a tiny bit more interesting.

 

My absolute favourite is 'Birds of Prey', but a very close second is 'Charly' (the only SF movie in history to win a best actor Oscar).

 

Top 10 in no particular order of preference.

1. Blade Runner
2. Fight Club
3. Cassablanca
4. Ice Cold in Alex
5. LoTR: all 3 films
6. Donnie Darko
7. The Life of Brian
8. The Matrix (first one)
9. The 39 Steps (black and white version)
10. Alien/Aliens/Alien III/Alien Resurrection

Die Hard

Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a great movie. It essentially satirized the Cold War...and it was made in the year 1963. :P

 

Les Visiteurs (the original French version) - A French knight and his servant are transported to present day France after drinking the potion of an inept wizard. Hijinks ensue as the pair are confronted by various modern conveniences such as indoor plumbing and electricity.

This one sounds good, is it out with English sub titles?

 

Princess Bride
Shrek (1st)
Matrix (1st)
Crossroads
Christmas Story


For movies recently released on DVD, Michael Clayton and I am Legend are both quite good.

 

The Talented Mr Ripley, Get Shorty, The Mission, 12 Angry Men, Howard's End.

 

Jurassic Park is one of my favourites.

One of the few movies that was nearly as good as the novel (despite being quite different from it in many ways). Likewise for LOTR.

 

Heide.

 

Tears of the Sun-Best war movie I've ever seen, good story behind it.
Napolean Dynamite-Its a classic, and I love it.
The Gods Must be Crazy (1 and 2)-Really funny movies involving Bushmen.
Lots of others...
