brvheart 1,768 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Of all time is a big thing to say, but I like:BraveheartLove ActuallyShawshank RedemptionLOTR SeriesClerksPulp FictionThe Highlander (Just number 1)Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail (not really at all close to greatest, but I love it.)Very Much.Old Movies that I really like, too:CasablancaThe African QueenI love the Harry Potter series so much. Of course the books are better than the movies (which are still fantastic). I have to give them credit for Harry. The actor is a dead on lock for Harry Potter. They did some great casting with the Weasleys, too.qft. Good list. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Wet Hot American SummerThat was hilarious, I need to see it again. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,367 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 My all time favorite movie is Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost ArcOthers... Wet Hot American SummerSaving Private RyanI think some parts of Saving privte ryan are sluggish, and in general Im not a huge fan of war stories about individual heroism, as most wars, wars like WW 2 were fought and won by technology, industry, and the sacrifce of the many, not the few. That being said, I think the first 45 minutes of the movie is the single most powerful 45 minutes in the history of film I've never seen anyone shot, much less been in a carnage house like ww2, but the first 45 made me feel like I was really watching a modern war, with all the horror that comes with a modern war. THough the movie was a tribute to the ww2 generation, and to the veterans that fought so hard, and lost so much in the war, for me personally, it was the most powerful anti war film I've ever seen. I never want to fight in a war like that, and I never want any one else to die in a war like that. Link to post Share on other sites

oldirtyharry 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 WTFNobody mentioned Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.So well directed, Jim Carrey and Kate Winsleet were fabulous.Great Movie, one of my all time Favs. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.Adaptation and Being John Malkovich are both amazing movies as well, and apparently Kaufman's new script for Synecdoche, New York is the best of them all.

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 -2001: A Space Odyssey (greatest movie ever)-Godfather pt. 1 and 2-Taxi Driver-Raging Bull-One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest-A Clockwork Orange-Dr. Strangelove (Kubrick is my hero, btw)-Seven Samurai-Yojimbo-City of God-The Big Lebowski-Fargo-Apocalypse NowI could go on, but I'll stop there.Points. My list looks a lot like this. Except my top-two are the Godfathers. And I think I remove Fargo, but replace it with "Schindler's List." And definitely add "Silence of the Lambs" (one of my all time favorites, for sure). I really like Deer Hunter, too.Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Kubrick, amongst other things, have had some of the most psychologically stunning movies ever.Three Cheers for Charlie Kauffman, the first pure screen writer that I've ever gone and seen movies written by him, knowing only that they were written by him.

I'm in the same boat. I've followed him since I watched BJM. Adaptation is my favorite screenplay I can think of. When I first got into him, I learned that he'd worked on two of my favorite underrated '90s sitcoms; Ned and Stacey and Get a Life (as an aside, one of my favorite hip-hop albums was a concept-album based on an episode of Get a Life, which I'm told he wrote, though I haven't been able to confirm this). I'm not sure if Synecdoche, New York is going to be a train-wreck or unholy, but I'll like it either way. Link to post Share on other sites
