Parallel to the "Worst Movies" topic, I figure this one deserves the royal treatment as well.

All time favorite movies? I'm not afraid to say that Disney and Pixar films are up there (particularly Aladdin, Tarzan, A Bug's Life, and The Incredibles). I also loved V for Vendetta, the Pirates of the Caribbean films (Jack Sparrow!), and of course, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, that movie was stunning (yay Anime! :P).

[Laharl]

love Asian cinema myself

favourites:

Versus, Ringu, Gozu, Audition, Oldboy, Infernal Affairs, Azumi, Ichi the Killer, Brotherhood, Zatoichi, Sky High, The Happiness of the Katakuris, Koma, Rin, Lady Vengeance, Dead or Alive, Kung-Fu Hustle, The Host, Arahan....you get the idea.

still got about 40 DVDs to watch aswell xD

that would be this Sky High

and this Dead or Alive

http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/Captures/CapturesA-D/Dead_Or_Alive/cover.jpg

I can not stress enough how much i hate hollywood remakes of Asian Cinema, every attempt has been a piece of **** with the SOLE exclusion of The Departed

not a massive fan of western films although i do like classic comedy such as the Monty Python films, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein etc.

Johnny Depp films are awesome as a rule for me, favs being Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Sleepy Hollow

Some anime films are pretty cool too, like Princess Mononoke, Akira and Ghost in the Shell

[Moonear]

I'm gonna get alot of flaming for this, but... Transformers, the 2007 one!
I also like School of Rock, Saving Private Ryan, and Good Burger.

WIN.
A really good movie (that nobody's heard of before) is 'The Gods Must Be Crazy'. The plot's a little confusing, but the humor is awesome.
The sequel is also really good (surprisingly).

[TheEnglishman]

Quite a few of the Bond films (especially Casino Royale) on the list. Star Wars as well.
I'll add more later.

[Caael]

National Treasure is my favourite film ever, and second are the studio Ghibli films. No specific ones, because they're all awesome.

[Someone Else]

I like Forrest Gump a lot. And "O Brother Where Art Thou?" Those are the first two to come to mind.

[Wild Fox]

This is so hard for me because I have 345875834573456 favorite films because I love watching movies. So if I have to pick JUST ONE, I can't.

The Painted Veil is my current favorite. Beautiful story. Amazing acting. I saw this film over the summer and I can't stop thinking about what an amazing story this was about forgiveness. A movie hasn't left this much of an impact on me in a while, so I highly suggest you go and rent it. Bring some tissues too.

[Eugine]

Little Miss Sunshine is probably my favourite film currently. Thinking back, the story wasn't spectacular, but the acting is probably the best I've seen.
Others include Perfect Stranger, 300 and Deja Vu.

[Folcon]

I'd have to say, Terminator, FFVII:AC, Samurai-X: Trust and Betrayal ova, xXx (that film with Vin Diesel), and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. And in general anything with lots of stuff the blows up.

[Golden Legacy]

If you like Adam Sandler, then shame on you for liking Click. What a mindless piece of crap that was.

[Ironsight]

I don't know, I kinda liked the slow-mow jogger scene :)

[Quacnar]

Inside man, Hero and V for vendetta are probably the best movies I have seen in my life.

[Caael]

Van Helsing cured my cancer. It was that good.

[Moonear]

Vanilla Sky kicked ass.

[Eugine]

Remember, remember the 5th of November.... V for Vendetta really pwned coz.

I need to watch Vanilla Sky Kraden. All my friends say it's a really excellent movie.

[Caael]

V for Vendetta was amazing. There's nothing else to be said, it was near perfect.

[Quacnar]

The characters were complex and had great depth, The movie had a fantastic ending, and the story really showed an amazing message.

[SavageMoon]

Anything by Tim Burton is amazing, especially The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Ironsight]

Hot Fuzz was six kinds of awesome.

[Fury]

I also like Stealth and War of the Worlds.

[Ironsight]

Ah, those were good movies. The latest War of the Worlds was kinda ghey though

1408 Scared me Sh!tless

[TheEnglishman]

I liked War of the Worlds. Some of it was geniuenly creepy. Especially Tom Cruise. :blink:

[Golden Legacy]

Ocean's 11 - I'm still amazed at how the casino heist was pulled off every time I watch it. Absolutely hilarious.

[Laharl]

Battle Royale is officially the best thing ever.

the only thing i can think of more disturbing than the subject matter is the way i laughed my ass off watching it XD

plus Chiaki Kuriyama is yummy :D

[Toasty]

Live Free or Die Hard is THE best movie EVER. PERIOD. I want the unrated version on DVD. The PotC series was good aswell, along with Starwars and The Lord of The Rings. The Matrix was awesome. Rush Hour 1,2, & 3 were all good. I'll probably think of a few more later.

BUT LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD OWNS ALL.

[EDIT] Oceans 11 was great. I want to see 12 and 13, but I haven't had the chance yet. I want to see I Am Ledgend though. It looks awesome.

[Caael]

[Ironsight]

God, Aliens was l:D

[Moonear]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies was amazing, especially the extended versions. I can't think of a better fantasy movie.

[Eugine]

LoTR is in its own category. It was excellent. Despite being long, I rewatched it many times ^^.

Damn, I think I need to watch LoTR again, it was exellent. I remember Galadriel and Arwen so vividly. It bring back great memories. Great memories indeed.

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=44XOKr8kips
Loved this part. 10/10 acting there.

[Drizzy Drake]

LOTR=Best movies and best books of all A.D.

[Eugine]

But wow, honestly how can a series be so excellent? It was really good! I cannot explain how much I loved it.

[Drizzy Drake]

Because of all the effort he put into his world/books. It took him over 20 years to finish the LOTR. If you work on something for THAT long, it must be good.

[Ironsight]

The funny thing is, he was totally smashed(drunk) when he was writing the books. At least, thats what I heard.

[Drizzy Drake]

Parts of it, yes. He would also smoke his pipe ALOT, *wink*, if you know what I mean.

[Golden Legacy]

Swing Kids, I saw this movie a while ago with my swing dancing club (we're named after that movie). It's a great one, though very depressing and chilling. It's about Germany under the Nazi regime, and it follows the story of friends who enjoy the night life of swing dancing - but Swing is seen by the government as dirty and so it's banned.

They then are forced to join the Youth Group for Hitler by day, swing dancers at night. It is extremely well-done, better than I can put in words, and the plot gets very dark - including one of the most bone-chilling, jaw-dropping movie climaxes I've ever seen - I'm still remembering it, even after several months.

[Sea of Time]

New movie to add to my favourite list: The Bourne Ultimatum. I watched it last night, and the nonstop action and the presence of an actual conclusion (unlike the last two movies) made it amazing. Jason Bourne is awesome.

[Drizzy Drake]

American History X is definetly my favourite movie. It is so powerfull, and speaks to anybody.

[Ironsight]

Anybody seen Sunshine? It was pretty good. The first half was great, all about the human phycology. But then it turned into some kind a slasher movie, which killed it :/.

[Drizzy Drake]

Never heard of it. Was it good?

[Ironsight]

It could have been better. But yeah, it was ok.

[slomz]

Lotr:Rotk my favorite. Donny Darko my second.

[GohanDuo]

Zatoichi and Bin-Jip were great (I like oriental themed movies more than occidental), love almost every movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, and Monty Python of course.

[Drizzy Drake]

If you liked Donny Darko, then you should watch Jacob's Ladder. It is basiccaly like Donny Darko, where at the end you are like, "what the **** jsut happened".

Never saw the original. They exaggerated with the blood sometimes though...

[redchi]

The Painted Veil is one of my new fav movies if you want to read more about it here the link

[Ironsight]

My class just finished The Dead Poet Society today. It was actually pretty good, which was not what I expected.

[Sea of Time]

I thought that movie was very good too, Robin Williams delivers a class act and the young actor who is now in House (can't think of the name) gives a very emotional performance. Recommended to any fans of their english class. =D

[Neo]

I'd have to go for;

- Pulp Fiction
- Shawshank Redemption
- Godfather (I and II)
- Running Scared
- Kingdom of Heaven

and a heap of others, but I am too tired to think of names at this moment. These were the first to enter my mind.

[Eugine]

Shawshank Redemption was great. I think I need to rewatch it!

[Caael]

I dont know what everybody see's in the Godfather. I mean, it's a very good film, but people worship it like a god and it makes me confused.

[Elliott]

Romper Stomper, American History X, Training Day, Chopper, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Castle, Dodgeball, Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch, Wayne's World, anything Star Wars, X-Men or Matrix, The Goonies, The Patriot.
