Favorite movie in the past couple of years: LotR, because that really is just one movie in three parts, or maybe Pirates of the Caribbean if that doesn't count Favorite movie ever: Clue — you just can't go wrong with Tim Curry as a host/narrator character -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Saw, Se7en & The Silence of the Lambs, all tie with eachother for my favorite movie. -------------------- I am the way into the doleful city I am the way into eternal grief, I am the way to a foresaken race. Justice it was that moved my great creator; Divine omnipotence created me, And highest wisdom joined with primal love. Before me nothing but eternal things Were made, and I shall last eternally Abandon all hope, all you who enter. Posts: 383 | Registered: Friday, June 6 2003 07:00 |

Favourite: I'm not sure; I like a lot of movies, but Grind is pretty good as well as Billabong Oddysey - if that counts as a movie. Least Favourite: Moonraker in the James Bond series. I hate it! -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

What Kel said - LotR, as well as Pirates of the Caribbean (I have a special place for it in my heart owing to the coolness of pirates and a man-crush on Johnny Depp). Past favorites for me were The Fifth Element and O Brother, Where Art Thou? Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

I don't know. I liked the original Matrix the first time I watched it, but I also like Pirates of the Carribean and LotR - it's hard to decide. I guess Matrix is out due ot it's horrible successors ;) Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |

LotR hands down. I've seen Batteries Not Included and really liked it. Didn't know anybody else watched movies like that anymore. :) -------------------- There are three kinds of people in the world: those who think, those who think they think, and those who would rather die than think.

quote:This is my perennial favorite. I've also deeply enjoyed The Fifth Element, Pulp Fiction, The Truman Show, Contact, Se7en, Dogma, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Dr. Strangelove, and Unforgiven. LoTR is hugely overrated; with the kind of material and budget Jackson got, any moron could have made a great movie. Throw in EoE for leavening because I literally cannot have a conversation without making reference to it, and that's my list.

The Usual Suspects or Adaptation. —Alorael, whose taste in movies is hugely informed by his general distaste for seeing movies at all. Even when they're good he hates go watch them. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I have to say, I think that Dead Man, by Jim Jarmuch (don't know if the spelling on that is right..) is my favorite movie. [ Friday, February 11, 2005 18:22: Message edited by: Wham Bam Shizam v 2.0 ] -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Titan A.E. Cowboy Bebop, the Movie Seven Army of Darkness The 13th warrior Demolition Man Think that's enough for now, but anything that Antonio Banderas is in can go on that list. Posts: 38 | Registered: Thursday, March 4 2004 08:00 |

I don't know, after years of StarTrek, the lack of don't-kill-sentient-bugs ethics was refreshing.

Sorry but I have to break this down in categories. Only way I can do it. Action movie(not Sci-fi or Fan.): The Road Warrior - No action flick since has been as visionary or compelling. Sci-Fi : Pitch Black - Say what you will about the sequel and all other Vin Diesel movies but this one was perfect. Great dialogue and pacing.Actually tied with Blade Runner to be honest. Fantasy : LotR - I am not a fan of Tolkien(more a Moorcock, Howard & Lieber fan) but Jackson did about as good a job as anyone possibly could and the actors took the film seriously. Dragonslayer starring Peter McNichol is a close second. Comedy : Half-Baked - WAYYY underated movie. Made CHeech & Chong look like rank amatuers. Funny even if you're NOT high. Drama :Gladiator - I know, I know...could be an action flick as well. Really though this film was brilliantly scripted. Probably tied with The Shawshank Redemption and a few others. Suspense/Thriller : The Usual Suspects - 'Nuff said. -------------------- "I am in a very peculiar business. I travel all over the world telling people what they should already know." - James Randi Posts: 219 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Yellow Submarine The Basket Case trilogy The Hitcher Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory The Manchurian Candidate (the original) Casablanca. Not exactly a comprehensive list, but it's the best I can come up with in a semi-intoxicated state. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.
