Favorite Movie of ALL TIME!

[Eclipsed]

You are freaking me out!

My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption, but the rest of your picks are weird!!!

Pool Hall Junkies was one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I LOVE pool. The Hustler was much better than the Color of Money and Goonies is just another bad movie.

Hey I'm an 80's kid. Goonies was my all time favorite as a kid. I still get the big grin on my face when I hear the theme music. As far as poolhall junkies, well there are only what 3-4 actual "pool" movies out there, I like them all. Color of Money > Junkies just on Paul Newman factor alone, Hustler is another great.

Speaking of Poolhall Junkies, Massey was doing an exhibition at one of our local poolhalls tonight, He signed my Junkies dvd and a cueball/stick and my hat :biggrin:

Alien and Aliens.

Once upon a time in the West, also by Leone.

Yes sir!!! not a number 1 but in the top 100. my favorite line. "You don't know how to play"

 

[quack]

Blade Runner

That said, Star Wars (A New Hope) probably had the biggest impact on my life.

Surprised no one has mentioned Gladiator yet...it's one of my faves (along with many already mentioned here)



For me, Blu-ray...which reminds me. When is Star Wars coming out on Blu?

I just saw it's short rerelease in the theater last year. bu anywayss what's with blade runners 200 different endings.

Alien and Aliens.

I wish my car was a clean as your avatar, but keeping with the thread both are great films top 20 for me but my top 20's are really the same greatness. (aside from my #1) Come to think of it it's really not cool to seperate both great alien movies to take up two spots as they are most often mentioned together so I'll start listing it as Alien(s)

One Crazy Summer
Big Trouble in Little China.
What about Bob
Predator

 

[Ether]

So hard to pick one, here's my top 5

1. Requiem For A Dream
2. American History X
3. Fight Club
4. Blow
5. Crash

And some great comedies for good measure:

1. Half-Baked
2. Old School
3. Dumb & Dumber

While The Shawshank Redemption is probably the best movie I've ever seen, it's not my favorite to watch... I'll stick with my Top Gun choice.

 

[akira3d]

what's with blade runners 200 different endings.

I think it is so Ridley Scott can release 200 different versions on Blu-ray (the set I own has 5 different versions). Even though I am quite familiar with the original and Director's Cut, I could barely detect the editorial changes in the so-called Final Cut...but the image quality was certainly impressive (saw it at the Landmark in West L.A.).

Gladiator is near the top of my most re-watchable list. Ridley Scott is da man!

No mention of Princess Bride? The Lord of the Rings? Raiders of the Lost Ark? No animated films yet? Tough crowd!

I just remembered how much I enjoyed the movie "Fly Away Home"...its very good. Definitely one of my favorites.

 

[SweetChuck]

Ferries Buellers Day off , I've been dreaming of that garage since a kid .

 

[SaleenS7Rs]

I cant decide between......

The God Father II

Dont be a menace in south central while drinking your juice in the hood

 

[jond]

The Waking Life.
It's a very weird movie about philosophy. I have no idea how many times I've watched it now.

 

[nuccaJB]

I bet there are more than fifteen movies on here that make my top list, but I have not seen the The Crow mentioned yet. Love that one. My favorite "Loose my man card" would be Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey is a doll!

 

[gleibig]

Spaceballs.

End of discussion.

Spaceballs.

Just about anything by Mel Brooks is good.
Blazing Saddles is up there on my list too.

"Where the white women at?"

 

[queenlives]

You guys are scaring me because I know some of those movies. :frown:

 

[sicarius82]

Glory (Civil War Flick) - Because of the cast of actors.

The Rock - Because of the kick@ss soundtrack and John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery).

Schindler's List - Because it has the best soundtrack and a "killer" storyline.

Big Trouble in Little China - Because........ I said so...

Watch it every year on Christmas.

Has anyone seen The Hurt Locker yet? Is it worth going to see? I have the night open for a good flick tomorrow.
