Favorite Movie?????

Recommended Posts

Sometimes you can find some good old silent films. What's cool about them is that they were made before there were any set ideas about how a movie should be made.
One of the weirdest films was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The scenery was surreal: Houses were cutouts, and the doors and window frames were all bent & warped in this really weird way.
Another surrealist film was made by Salvador Dali called Andalusian Dog. No plot whatsoever, just a series of bizarre and fascinating imagery. Dali is in the movie. I think he was in his early 20's when he made that film. Dali rocks!
There is a theatre in Frederick MD where they show old silent films on a big screen, & some old guy plays the organ to go along with it. The organ has these old-fashioned sound effect devices on it, like they had back in the 20s. I saw the Thief of Baghdad (w/ Douglas Fairbanks), and it was great! It's amazing what special effects they came up with in that movie considering the primitive technology of the time.

it's soooo hard to remember all favourite movies... the ones I think of first are:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Bladerunner
Fifth Element
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (esp. the psychedelic boat scene! and the burping lemonade scene)
The Right Stuff (mmm Sam Shepard as Chuck Yeager!)
The Professional
Trip to the Moon (1902 movie)
Jean Cocteau and Jean Luc Goddard movies
Flight of the Doves
Kes (v.sad)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Exorcist
Monty Python movies
Ingmar Bergman movies (in winter!)
Clay Pigeons
well I think that's enough for now...

* Kentucky Fried Movie (absolutely hilarious with the spoofs. Team that one up with Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee (probably the best martial arts film of all time) and you've got a great evening.
* Patton
* The Airplane movies with Robert Hayes were a riot.
* Wait until Dark (some really suspenseful scenes)
* Point Break, just mindless recreation
* The Killer Elite, great gun battles
**Not out yet, but I've seen a preview and I think the Lord of the Rings trilogy will be outstanding. I hope - I've read the complete series 12 -15 times, including The Hobbit.

Slap shot , but in the Quebec version.... there is something extremely wrong and funny about Newman saying in a thick Quebec accent "ta femme, c't'une lesbienne, e'm l'a dit hier soir" and "ta femme, e' susse des pl0ttes" ROTFLMAO

Why is it that my sweetie says the same thing...you Quebec'ers are all alike ;)
There are so many amazing movies to choose from, but I will have to go with:
Life is Beautiful &
Blood In, Blood Out

I'm with you on that one. You konw, if they don't almost exactly follow the first book, the other two will flop.
Are there only two of us that have seen The Boondock Saints? Makes sense, it is almost the all time cult movie, almost nobody has seen it but everyone who has goes absolutely nutz about it.
