my fav movie has to be fear and loathing in las vegas, nothing beats johnny depp and benicio del toro using an american flag to sniff ether.
my favorite scary move has to be return of the living dead
anyone agree?

Thats a tough one man?!?

Fear and loathing was cool(book was better)

Ummmmmmmmm?

I'll have to get back to you on that one...

Return of the Living Dead was hilarious of course I saw it when I was on LSD and it was even frighting sometimes at the same time.As for the other I have never seen it as of yet, but willk probably rent the DVD sooner or later.

I can't pick one movie and say it is my favorite because there are alot of movies I like.

"The Professional" with Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman was a very good one.

Terminator 2, Pulp Fiction, list goes on.

The two greatest films of all time are

1. The Usual Suspects
2. Clerks

P.S Star Trek is far better than Star Wars.

I don't have a favourite movie. My favourite movies are:

Clockwork Orange
2001: A Space Odessey
Dr. Strangelove
Schindler's List
Grave of the Fireflies
Akira
Psycho

BTW, I agree, Star Trek is far better than Star Wars.

I agree with you there.

Theres no basis for comparison. Ones sci-fi and the other is fantasy.

I thought that any movie that has space ships and lasers is classified as science fiction and anything with magic, dragons, elves, etc. are fantasies.

Good movies there. Here is my list..

Clockwork Orange
Terminator 1
Terminator 2
2001 A space oddesy
Akira
Starwars 4,5,6
Lord of the Rings

Hmmm... Let me think. Probably it would be Blue Velvet, at the top of my list. How I adore David Lynch.

But, then:
Lord of the Flies (Original)
Of Human Bondage
Frankenstien
Dr. Strangelove
American Grafitti
Lolita
A Clockwork Orange
2001: Space Oddessy
Planet of the Apes (Original)
The Graduate
Pretty Baby
True Romance
... I just can't cover them all.

Cheers,
Lost

tetsuo the ironman
akira
the graduate
lawrence of arabia
lord of the rings
caligula
gormenghast (it wasn't a movie but still 1 of my favs)
the conan series (i'm sure i'm gonna get flamed for those 1's)
army of darkness
lolita
dune
pink flamingos

Gormenghast was cool. Crazy but very cool.

I would pretty much consider any movies by Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor movies) and Kubrick as my favourite movies.

I've just watched a few more movies within the last couple of days, and I have a few new favourite movies:

Avalon (2000, Oshii, Polish/Japanese, not the movie with same name from 1991)

Jin Roh (not sure about the director, but Oshii was the writer)

Matropolis (2001, director Leiji Matsumoto, not the movie from 1929 with the same name)

The only thing I can't really understand is why Lord of the Rings is so popular. Sure, the books were excelent, but this movie is... umm... not great. It's good, but not great. This is the most overrated movie since Taxi Driver.

Space Balls is better that star wars or star trek.

2001 A Space Odysee
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange
Bullet In The Head
Full Metal Jacket
Night Of The Living Dead(b&w)
Dawn Of The Dead
The Others

Lot's of Kubric fan's here (with due cause)! The tastes of movies here, however lackluster the variety, are some of the best I've seen. I feel that I live in a better world knowing that none of your responses were 'The Fast and The Furious' or 'American Pie'. My favorites are as follows;

Citizen Kane
Full metal Jacket
Pulp Fiction
Blue Velvet
Dr. Strangelove
Enter the Dragon
The Godfather
Peewee's Big Adventure

Mighty excellent choices there, Nismo. I totally forgot about Citizen Kane. Stupid me.

Godfather Trilogy
Usual Suspects

you can't compare star trek to star wars. SW is genius, ST is absolute shite.

Almost all of these films were originally books, and superior in that format(Clockwork Orange, 2001, Lolita, Lord of the Flies, Planet of the Apes(or however you say "monkey world" in French), Dune).
Godfather I+II and
Ikiru(directed by Akira Kurosawa, not a samurai movie)were crafted specifically for film format and would be my first picks as best films. The other two would be books I saw portrayed even better in film, espeically because of the lack of expiriance posessed by the writers
Ghost World and
Fight Club.

Surviving the game is my favorite movie. I liked the story line, not very many movies about hunting people down for sport(in modern time). I think it was nicly done also

pulp fiction
jay and silent bob movies
where the buffalo roam (better than fear&loathing, imo)
full metal jacket
e.t. <----reminds me of my mom

Full Metal Jacket
Ninja Scroll
Lord of the Rings (animated and non)
All Bruce Lee Movies
Jay and silent bob movies
Half Baked
Dased and Confused
Evil Dead Trilogy
Pulp Fiction
and of course......
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

later

Hey dub.How was pink flamingos,I want to see it but all the movie stores dont have it.It pisses me off.Heard it is reall nasty

Spaceballs.

American beauty, not for mena suvari's funny nipples though....

Kevin Spacey kicked ass in American Beauty!

geez, where do I begin? I haven't seen that many movies, but...

currently, Spider-man is no. 1 on my list of good movies (saw it last night, can't get it out of my head).
hmm...

Night of the living dead (remake, and black in white)
Day(dawn?) of the dead - the one where they're in the underground bunker, with the nutso leader, and the overuse of the word "dumbfuck")
Terminator 1 and 2

(I liked star wars WAY better than star trek. I saw some lame star trek movie a while ago, figured it sucked. trekkies... lol)
The Back to the Future movies
Gone in 60 seconds - That was the best car movie... I wanna see the original!
Traffic was mildly interesting, and although I can easily comprehend such a movie, it bores me because it's not entertaining. (it was funny when they were high, though)
What the hell people, you didn't put in The live-action City Hunter (with jackie chan. that was COOL.)
oh wait, nm, someone put psycho...

the original Lord of the Flies
American graffiti
duh... The Matrix!
original house on haunted hill
Planet of the Apes (new one)
Dragon ball Z movie (the one with Garlic Jr.) was pretty cool
Also, the DBZ movie with Bardock in it.

hmm, that's all I can think of. I'll post more if I can remember any more...

Ciao, TR

All I have to say is that the majority of you watch some very fruity ass movies.

But we'll just assume that your girlfriend dragged you to the threatre

No one has to know!

like I said, I'm not a huge movie watcher, so I haven't seen any of them hardcore movies. and most of them I saw on my own time.

A few that I didn't, and still liked for various reasons:

Back to the Future-I saw that a LONG time ago, and I though it was interesting. nothing wrong with it, right?
Traffic-It was quite the mature, and the story took a lot of thought to comprehend. And it isn't a chick flick by any means...
Lord o' the flies-I saw this in my grade 11 english class (last year). It was also interesting. stay away from the crappy american version, though.
American Graffiti-Again, at school. the whole 50's atmosphere got me remembering the days when I used to be into the old time rockn'roll...
I saw planet of the Apes at school.

By far, the best movie I've seen whilst in school is the Shining. THAT was fucking wicked. oh, the freakyness...
same with one flew over the cuckoo's nest- it was funny.
I saw Happy Gilmore on TV. It was hilarious at the time...
I happen to like jim carrey. He's funny.
Home alone-TV special during christmas when I was a kid.
A hard day's night-I used to be a HUGE beatles fan when I was a kid. I saw this one on TV.
I saw Macbeth in school, and it not only had varied things that playboy usually has (ahem), It had plenty of violence to go with it. At the very start, someones back was being ripped open with a mace... and various be-headings, etc... Very Macabre, yet entertaining.
Wedding Singer - on TV, cause I was bored. I watched it last night again, and I completely take it off the list. As it turns out, it sucked ass.


"fruity"? the rest of those movies didn't seem "fruity" to me... but again, I'm not a big movie buff, so I wouldn't know.

(actually, that entire list is about 80% of the movies I've seen in my entire life...)


Ciao, TR

I finally watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, funny shit. "As your lawyer I'm advising you to take (insert drug here)".

This is tough, so many great movies to choose from. I must list: Animal House, Clockwork Orange, 2001 Space Oddessy, Memento, Naked Lunch, Texas Chainsaw Massacre # 2 (I love it when the freak is scratching the metal plate in his head with a coat hanger and eating the meat afterwards)
Life of Brian, The Outlaw Josey Wales (the old indian confesses that his horse was captured and the union made him defect), plus Clint keeps spitting on the dog. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and an underrated often missed film, House of Yes, a funny and tragic story of mental illness and incest with Parker Posey, who is fantastic, Genevieve Bujould, Freddie Prince Jr (playing a real nerd), Tori Spelling and Josh Hamilton. Great dialogue. Also must mention "Bride of Reanimator" very amusing.

My favorite two movies are "Almost Famous"
and
"The Crow" starring Brandon Lee.

Anyone else enjoy those? Oh yeah, and "Hair of The Dog" was great, too! Don't know why that movie didn't make it bigtime. I thought it was brilliant. My two favorite actors, too
Dustin Hoffman and Robert Deniro.
Thanks for asking.

Fear an loathing in Las Vegas is my n� 1 movie and book. I just don't have words for this artwork *sniff sniff*.

We can't stop here, this is bat country!

FULL METAL JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LONGEST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!
BLACK HAWK DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIN RED LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE WERE SOLDIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NAVY SEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GUNS OF THE NEVERON!!!!!!!!!!!

these are all military movies!
and they're my favorite!!!!!!!
