Favorite movie?
 

Hay guys I was just wondering, what are your favorite movies??
For me I'm having a hard time decide, but I have to say that Lion King is very highly ranked in my mind... And of course LOTR is fantastic....
I have to say I must be getting old. I'm started to watch more and more cartoons.... I really like the latest Dreamwork pictures, Shrek 1 and 2 for example....
I don't really remember other pictures at the moment, buuuuuuuuuuuuut what do you guys think? :)

My most favourite films of all times are Star Wars Episode 4-6 (the first ones), Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer ('cause I'm big fantasy fan). After them come Terminator 2 and The Mummy (1st part). All others are nice to see from time to time, but not that great.

hmm my favourite movies....

Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Leon
Vidocq
Avalon
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Gattaca
Boondock Saints

that's about it :)

gattaca was great!! My favorite is a toss-up between Cast Away and the original Gone in 60 Seconds.

ok...

uhmm

The Emperors New Groove
The Matrix (only the first one)
LOTR:Return of the King
Shrek 2

what'd i do?

Spammed

Omuletzu made a "Two smiley post"..i dont see him getting warned...In my post is even a story....:P

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. An classic eighties comedy. Ferris was the guy I wanted to be but never became. Probably for the best.

It's hard to say for me since my movie collection is pretty huge, my all time favorite movies though I guess are,
Clerks
Chasing Amy
Conan the Barbarian
Terminator 2
Predator
Aliens
Bravehart
Old School
Swingers
Super Troopers
School of Rock
LOTR
Willow
Sopranos(All TV seasons)
SLC Punk
High Fidelity
(That's all I can think of...)

You ever see Pump Up The Volume? This was not soo much an 80's flick, but it came out right at the end... Great flick!
-Sean

Boondock Saints

Army of Darkness

Army of Darkness Rocks!!! I love that movie, bruce cambell is a frickin genious!!
-Sean

Indeed.

Oh my, I forgot the evil dead trilogy! :oops:


Sam Raimi + bruce campbell rocks! 8)

http://www.evildeadgame.com/ hehe

Has anyone seen Bubba Hotep? That's the new bruce cambell movie, a friend of mine saw it, and said it was really funny, so I kinda want to see it!
-Sean

I even have the first part on a collectors DVD 8) .

Lord of the Rings : The two towers - best movie so far
Other good movies:
Shrek 1 & 2
Starship Troopers 2
Underworld(verry good)
The Rundown
Van Helsing is kinda nice, but some scenes suck!
@Kiddiarni : stop spamming and don't push your luck!

No I never saw that one.

Definitely the Godfather Part I. Such an awesome movie, a definite classic. Anyone who can say they didn't like that movie needs to stop having opinions.

You should really check it out if your a big ferris fan! It's great!
-Sean

I got three letters for you...W T F...?

hmm:

Hackers- Cool movie made in 1995-96, about a group of teen hackers framed for launching I virus that would capsize tankers.

.hack//SIGN- Anime, part of the .hack series. About a kid name Tsukasa who gets trapped in a MMORPG, The World.

James Bond Golden Eye- Best bond fil ever (well I think)

Star Wars - The first 3 of em.

hah, I own Hackers on DVD. It's just such a funny movie I had to buy it. :D

I agree, Hackers is a great flick. I love Matthew lillard in it, and Angelina Jolie is soooo hot!! Also the guy from trainspotting is in it, so you gotta love that!
-Sean

Btw. I like classical movies with James Belushi too, like The Principal or that one where he's a cop, trying to get along with the dog, which he gets to love at last (don't know the name of the movie in English, I think it's called other than in German), but I mostly don't know / remember names of those movies, although I've seen many of them earlier...

I think you're talking about K19... I never really liked that to tell ya tha truth.... :wink:

Now I remember another good film... Armageddon.... OMG it's so amazing.... I always cry when Bruce Willis.... omg I can't complete the sentence...... :cry:
And the song from the film... Don't wanna miss a thing by Aerosmith.... gee that's just too beutiful.... :wink:

Tue...but she's a little to much..."Silicon"..
u know like EVERYTHING is "siliconized" on her body..Boobs, behind, Lips...

I agree, but she's at least good eye candy right? :wink: I also think she's a fairly decent actress either way...
-Sean

Yup...and she's even better in that Tight Silver suit...mmmmmm 8)

Kiddi, I'm going to show your dad!!! :wink:
I think Angelina is OK... but like you said, she's just so fake.
OMG I love Mel Gibson!!! He's SO COOL!!! :D
And that Jesus guy..... from the Passion.... He's HOT! *sigh*

The actor your thinking of is James Caviezel, and I the rumor is he might be the next actor to play superman! Could be interesting...I guess in the long run after playing Jesus superman follows? :D
-Sean

Yeah that's him!
I also like the Spiderman movies!! And I thought nr 2 was better than the first one... although they were both awesome! Kirsten Dunst is so cool!! :D


BTW, Julia Stiles is going to star in an ICELANDIC movie :D ! How weird is that.... :wink:

We have a huge Icelandic festival in Gimli, a small town near capital of a province in Canada.

You live in Gimli??? A lot of Icelandic people moved there many years ago, and you can see a lot of Icelandic names there!! That's weird....

How can so many people live in a Dwarf? hehe, sorry that was uncalled for, but I couldn't pass it up...Anyway, since were speaking about superheros and canada, I believe both Fantastic Four and Elektra are being filmed there!! 8)
-Sean

Puffin, the city I live in is about an hour drive from Gimli.

I LOVE IT!!!! :P I'm sooooo moving to Canada now!
-Sean

[Random DID YOU KNOW? fact]
There is a City/town, something in Canada Called Reykjavik as the City Reykjavik in Iceland..
[/Random DID YOU KNOW? fact]

A few of our cities here are named after other places in the world, Sydney, Berlin...

Well, when people name the greatest cities in the world: "Sydney, London, Reykjavik, New York, Paris....! :wink:
But I'm sorry to break this geography discussion, but aren't we all getting a little bit off topic :? ?

A little bit is no problem. :wink:
But to return to the theme of the topic: I wanted to add that I like many movies with Kevin Costner (especially Waterworld and Robin Hood) and with Tom Hanks too (don't know / recall the names at the moment mosty though.. :( )

Oh Robin Hood is awesome! I've watched it like Billions of times!! And Tom Hanks is cool, that's right... I am a big fan of Sleapless in Seatle and You've got Mail... Meg Ryan is amazing...
Kate and Leopold with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman... I like that one a lot... My sensitive side :wink:

Ahh, I recall one: I like movie with Tom Hanks called Bachelor Party (at least it's called in Germany like that).

Bachelor Party?

How about Saving Private Ryan, Cast away, Forrest Gump, Green Mile...

Well, Forrest Gump I didn't like too much. As with Cast Away, I still have to see that sometime...

Tom Hanks directed the Band of Brothers for HBO. That was awesome!! I didn't miss a show! :D

The one thing I hated about forrest gump is the kid playing his son. I hate his whiny face. I hate him in 6th sense, in A.I. , just everywhere. He always seems to cry, like his daddy punished him whenever he had to redo a take, and he was on take 25 or so..

bah

oooooookay...Interesting point of view:P

Anybody seen The Village? M. Night Shyamalan's new movie. It's really interesting... When I saw it I had absolutely NO idea of what it was about! Never seen a trailer or anything! It's not the BEST movie I've ever seen, but it was deffinately not waste of money! :wink:

Starship troopers 2?!@# you cant be serious?!@#$ oh my god, i can onestly belive any sane human being could ever possibly like ST2 more than the first one holy fark thats totaly unreal, i wont bother saying that its a crap movie and it shouldnt be on anyones list becuase i cannot even come close to comprehending the utter alien mind that would like such a movie more than the first. I am completly blown away

Kiddiarni: angleinea jolie is siliconized? (man my spelling is relly atrotious in this post) i never knew that, do u have proof? ie before and after pics? ;p

Puffin: did you just call some guy hot???

Durak: You guys have citys called syndey and berlin there? Thats unreal this thread is some sort of twilight zone of enlightenment :shock: where are you from again theres so many counties in europe, we should keep it simple and stay one country per continent just like Australia ;p.

puffin: The village had been relesed? where do u live, in aust i dont think its out yet, it looks pretty sweet, imo not seeing trailers b4 you see a good moive is the best, in just about all films today they show the best scenes in the trailers and it totaly spoils the moive, that happened to sherk 2 i think.

Sorry im posting questions about posts form 2 pages ago but ive come into the conversation late :)

now i cant think of any moives i like that havent been listed man this is a long post

Edit: i relly need to work on my punctuation

I saw it about two weeks ago in the cinema... I'm in Iceland. Like I said, it's an interesting movie, I reccommend it :D

Yeah I just called a guy hot. Why not? :wink:

No i dont have Before and After Pics..I hav eon thing though....a thing on you r face Called EYES...gee..

I'm living in Canada. It's a hidden country in Europe. We also have other cities which are named after various places in the world.


Also about The Village, I heard some people loved it and others thought it was decent. Depends on your taste.[/quote]

Britney Spears (or someone else with the same IQ :P)

The village is, well, ok i guess....the plot is Pretty obvious after some time...

You're from Europe, and what's wrong with Canada? :roll:

I think he's talking about that Britney once said that Canada was in Europe... I heard that once! :wink:
Poor girl...

lol that was pretty funny, i thought we only had the one person from america on these bords and everyone else was from europe, i sit corrected

America? I thought I said Canada was in Europe? :wink:

There are more people yet from America, too. :wink:

That was nice try, pal... :wink:

Anybody seen Fahrenheit? I saw a part of it yesterday! OMG!!! :shock:

Hmm, I remember seeing it, but forgotten now what the movie is about... :roll:

It's Mike Moores new movie! About how Bush sucking fat donkey's rear end :D

Oh :shock:
I believe I've seen another movie with the almost same name...
Hmm, NO, WAIT! That was a book by Ray Bradbery, a science-fiction / thriller roman, called Fahrenheit 451?...

Well, this one's called Fahrenheit 911. 9/11.... :wink:
I think it's cool.... Thank you, Kiddi :D

Haven't seen farenheit 911 but I plan to at some point, :D
-Sean

FAHRENHEIT...I Have it on CD :D :D :D :D

[LYING MODE]*no illegal download though ;)*[/LYING MODE]

I really want to see it too, heard it was pretty good. Although I have a big list of movies to catch up on...

Actually ST sucked i my opinion
ST2 is kinda nice
Oh and someother funny quotes :
...
Sure you aren't...

I hate all those chicks... Britney, Christina, PARIS HILTON OMFG :shock: I hate her!! She's not even cute!!!! :roll: :roll:

I'm trying to download Shawshank Redemption! People (that is Kosta) says it's fantastic :wink:
It's just that there's only one user on the hub on oDC that has it, and he's always offline :evil:

Yeah...gee....Britney spears a Virgin my sweet yellow hairy butt....

I agree with you on that one Puffin I can't stand any of those girls to be honest. They pretty don't get me wrong, but as soon as they open their mouths it's like wow, these are the role models for young girls, what has the world come to? :D
-Sean

What it has come to? When the teenagers began to fight for their rights in later 60's, this seemed to be great times. They got accepted, with some time. But now even the most young people try to come into that businnes-train, most of them not even have enough talents, but they still earn money... :roll: They have too much freedom, and too much freedom without some control isn't that great... Not that I think freedom is bad.

Yo think 'bout Parties with people drinking...and People SMOKING WHEN THEY WERE 4-5 years..A man i know was, well, into Joints, Speed, Drinking and SMoking..15 years..

Because his parents didn't watch after him when he was younger. And many parents today have no real idea how to educate their children, sadly. That's why anything drives to the junk bucket today...

They watched after him...They overprotected him actually..

That's the same: they had no idea that too much protecting is annoying, too, I guess...

No..he thought he would be more fun if he would be high or drunk...

:ot: :twisted: :D :wink:

I like movies....

Because his parents didn't tell him how dangerous this will become later...
But let's close this debate and return to the topic, as Puf-fin noticed already :wink:

yeah...GO FAHRENHEIT 9/11 :D

I just saw Supersized Me, the movie about the McDonald's restaurants! For you who don't know, it's a documentary about a guy who only eats McDonalds food for a month... and, well, that doesn't do him too good... ;)

Just for the record I don't like McDonalds food. The burgers don't taste too good. I prefer Subway.

Well, anyways, that movie was awesome :w00t:

It's actually "Super Size Me" and it Rocks :D

OMG.....One month eating McThingies.....
I would gladly pass a month eating at Nordsee, even if it's probably not healthier....
everytime I go to North Europe I eat there....

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT for films.....has anybody seen "Dogville" by Lars Von Trier? That is the kind of movie that makes you say exiting the cinema "I've just seen of the finest movie I've ever seen, and I'm conscious of this". Great....

And then Blade Runner.....probably my favourite movie so far.....

Ah, Blade Runner... I wanted to see it since long time now, but never found any DVD's of it yet... B)

I got the DVD B)

Well, there aren't any sold in Germany, at least not in the stores near us... <_<

:huh: Why don't you just order the DVD through the internet?

Yes, you're right, it can be bought in E-Bay... http://forum.giga.de/forum/images/smilies/doh.gif

The only way i found out about Blade Runner is by Westwood, my fav PC game company. Sadly EA fed them over :((. Any one seen the Dirty Dozen? Also one of my fav movies.

And also my fav was Indiana Jones (all of em) and Enemy at the Gates

here here :(

I love Indiania jones and Enemy at the gates aswell.

I rented blade runner after I bought the game
It wasn't that a great movie to be honest. A bit slow

Enemy at the gates is fantastic :w00t:
I really like it....

Yeah, great movie. Vasili Zaitcev - eye shot! :blink:

I like matrix 1, back door - a greek movie, and the sixth sense.
I like the texas chainsaw massacre because it is funny

I love the Bourne Identity. I even got the first version from the 70ies or so. The new one is off course a lot more flashy then the old one. But I love the fact it is'more grainy and subtle then nowaday hollywood movies. Can't wait to see the Bourne supremacy.

Yeah..Leatherface...

Did you know that an Icelandic Actor played the Part of "Leatherface" in teh first edition of the movie...???


Matrix one Ownz :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok: Five thumbs up :D

I loooooooooove the Scene where Neo and Trinity enter the Building where Morpheus is Kep :D

Leatherface.... Is that in the Bourne Identidy? Or....? Who is that actor?
I saw the Bourne Identidy, the new version... but I don't really remember it :unsure: ...

I believe leatherface is the chainsaw-man in the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

Ach I remember now ;) you mention it.... I had heard about that icelandic dewd in the massacre... I haven't seen the old version of that, but the new one was SCARY!!! (well, i'm such a coward..... :huh: )

I should see this movie sometime... I also like Evil Death, but have only the first one at this time. B)

I didn't think the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was that scary.
it was quite funny.

Personally I think the remake of House on Haunted Hill was scarier.
But thats just because mental asylums freak me out to begin with.
Knowing that most of the barbaric treatments shown in the movie were, in fact, used at some point in history (till the 1950's-1960's even)
Shock therapy and a Lobotmy Theatre (some older hospitals in Belgium still have rooms designed specifically for lobotomies (ofcoarse they're not used anymore)
Heat/cold therapy rooms,...

All other horromovies doesn't scare me, or even amuse me in any way

OMG The house on the haunted hill... I was ALONE in a DARK room in the MIDDLE of the night.... I freaked out!!! I got nose-bleedings from excitement!! I'm not joking! It was horrible!!! :unsure:
But I would like to see it again... i remember it was really good.... :w00t:

Talking of funny, I never found any of Freddy Krueger's movies to be scary - they're all quite funny sometimes and made in that teenager-style that makes them unserious...
But did you see Stephen King's IT? I for my part liked it, that was probably the only movie that I found to be scary. And, of course, Resident Evil - this one is made professionally, so it scares good enough, too.

I enjoyed House on the Haunted Hill, though I only saw bits of it, would love to see it again, it's the kind of film that made me double check that my door was locked and sleep with the light on.
I think that horror is kind of film that is hardest to make, harder than comedy as everyone has different things that they are scared of, for example, some people are scared of spiders while I like spiders, some people don't mind the dark while I am terrified. My favourite films include:

the Matrix (Only the first one, the other two were crap)
Con-Air
The Rock
Buffalo Soldiers
Amelie
South Park - Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Pirates Of The Carribian
Master And Commander
Monty Python and the search for the holy grail (hilariously funny)
Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Star Wars (First 3 only)
Austin Powers (All three)
Sleepy Hollow
I know what you did last summer (actually scared me for a bit)
The Shining (some of my friends thought this was to slow but I enjoyed every second of this film)

This list will be added to.

Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton?
I like almost all of Tim Burton's movies
no matter what theme, he adds this special touch to the movies which makes it magic.
Plus, where theres Tim Burton there's Danny Elfman.

My dad just bought Master and Commander on DVD... and Dancer with Wolves... Master and Commander is great, but I havent seen the Wolves....
I'll watch it when I have time....

Speakin of Resident Evil... RE 2 Apocolyps is gonna be a hell of a funy movie.... why? cause it was filmed in Toronto canada (like 10 min drive to get downtown from my place). Racoon City.. its basicly Toronto without the CN Tower and skydome.... lol and theve got city hall as the main setting lol.


A movie I really wanna seee is the Silent Hill movie they are makin (it was annonced like half a year ago.

Dancer with Wolves - is this the movie with Kevin Costner? Then it's a good movie, nice made. B)

Tim Burton is the man!

He makes funny cartoons to. Stainboy etc.

Yup that's it!

Its dances with wolves right? i dont mean to nit pick or anything but 'dancer with wolves' just sounds silly

It's actually called in German "The one that dances with the wolves". B)

Even that is better than dancer with wolves

:unsure: Well, you're probably right ;)
Dansa? vi? úlfa :sneaky:

Bruce allmighty is Great :D

And hellboy is...uhh...ok..
and the Village...well...an old plot ;)

Anyone seen Spawn? That one I liked, crazy, but still serious enough... And nice special effects, too. B)

Whatever the hell that means...


Yes spawn is good, theres an animated series of it as well that seems pretty awsome too

Icelandic isn't that far from English, you know :P

Dansa? vi? úlfa
Dances with wolfes ;)

Yeah Tom Henrik, just make fun of me..... :unsure:

Icelandic isn't that far from English, you know :P

Dansa? vi? úlfa

yeah i guess it was the charecters with the circles and dots above them that made my brain just ignore them as something i dont understand :)

how is he making fun of u

He's saying that I'm stupid.... :huh:


:rolleyes:

Where does he say that? :blink:

He doesn't.... I'm just babbling.... and I got :ot: ..... :sneaky: :unsure:

Is this a thread where you name your favorite movie?

If it is: One of my most favorite movies must be "The Matrix"... I've seen it WAY to many times...

If it isn't: Just ignore this post and continue doing whatever you were doing before.

I don't understand why you can bring up Tim Burton and NOT mention A nightmare before christmas! :w00t:

I want to see that film soooo badly, I I got the chance when I was about 8 but I decided to see The Lion King instead (for the second time). I now badly regret that mistake. I've Beetlejuice and Sleepy hollow many times but I've missed out on most of his children's films.

I have lots of favourites, but I don't think anything beats the LOTR triology... Although I also LOVE BR (Battle Royale), Pirates of the Caribbean, Armageddon and Bowling for columbine:) There's probably lots I've forgotten to mention too..

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned Shawshank Redemption or Silence of the Lambs.... those two are definitely classics

Shawshank Redemption great movie. Recently bought it on dvd.

One of my favourite strange movies.
I remember when i first saw it.
it was just after midnight.
Me and my brother went over all the channels one last time to check if there was anything on.
Suddenly we see a new movie begin... the nightmare before christmas.
It has songs
it has weird characters in claymation
it has a downright silly story
It was a stroke of brilliance.

I think Danny Elfman did the voice of Jack during the songs but i'm not sure.

last year i had to write a huge work for my exam on silence of the lambs.
every aspect of the movie.
and compare it to the book.

I saw the movie again and again and again and now that I know all the texts by heart I can't stand it anymore.

to update my list..
It's Not in order of how well i like 'em

Bowling for Columbine
Fahrenheit 9/11
Supersize Me
Shawsank Redemtion
LotR:FoR and RotK
Matrix 1 (only the first one)
and Bruce allmighty is good :D

Bruce Allmighty was such a let down. I thought it would be good but it after seeing it I was dissapointed. Bad build up and lose ends and only a few hilarious moments.

those hilarious moments are Hilareous :D

LoL...When is making the soup go like the Red sea...LoL

I agree.
well actually I didn't find anything all that hillarious.
Just "hah"-funny

Well, I call movies with such comedy "monkey-comedy", no offense. ;) :D
I don't like those movies, also. The comedies of the 80es are better, with their faint up to big humour which is always really funny too. At most such movies I can laugh for quite some time on good scenes. B)

I am not a fan of Jim Carrey either but I do have both Ace Ventura filmes on DVD.

The Ace Ventura movies were better than Bruce Allmighty.
But the jokes became tiresome after a while... but they were still more enjoyable

School of Rock is awesome!!!! The music there is just brilliant....

I saw School of Rock in German so i could barely understand a word but it was still one of the funniest films I had ever seen!
I just got back from seeing Dogdeball it was brilliantly funny I would advise anyone to see it, it's not clever, it's not complex, it has no inner meanings, but if you want one and a half hours of constant laughter, see this film.

can you please explain to me what is so good about Battle Royale, i watched it and just thought it was weird, i hear so much great stuff about it but ive never been able to see whats so good about it.

so tell me plz :D
