Thread: Favourite movies?

I seem to like sad/sappy movies:

Awakenings
What Dreams May Come
Philadelphia
Serendipity

then of course:
Neverending Story (OH YAH!)
Hero
Dave
The Abyss
Terminator 2 (OF COURSE!)

uh...that's all i've got for now.

I tend to like 'em weird.

*Fight Club
*American Beauty
*8 Mile
*Snatch
*Harry Potter (I like them both)
*Underworld (loved the concept, the fight scenes with Kate Beckinsale rocked and the actors were extremely easy on the eyes)
*Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
*Lord of the Rings (both so far, I'm sure the third one will be added to the list soon!)
*Spider-Man (it's about time they made a GOOD comic-to-movie transelation. It satisfied my inner geek )
*Holes

And just for the record, Icedawg, I cried like a little girl during Philadelphia.

Eraserhead... 'nuff said...

A.I.
Joy Ride
The Ring
The Others
The Sixth Sense
Labyrinth (<anyone seen that?)
Matrix
Matrix Reloaded
Hand that Rocks the Cradle

...all I can think of for now

Ooh, I forgot that one. I loved that movie. I like movies that mess with your head like that.

Well.. I'll try in no order, but given, my all time favorite is:

- Ghost in the Shell
- Donnie Darko
- X
(now in no order)
- Blood
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Meaning of Life
- The Pianist
- Matrix (of course)
- Lord of the Rings (meh, kinda)

Can't think of much else really.. those are the biggies I suppose.

Are there many anime fans on here? I think anyone on this board would love the movie Donnie Darko.

Donnie Darko... that's another one I forgot. That one was pretty good too.

I'm an anime fan. I used to be an otaku (though much cleaner!), but I sort of grew out of it. I really like the Lain series, as well as Cowboy Bebop. I started to get into .//hack, but I've only seen the first couple of episodes (I borrowed it from a friend).

Oh, and anything by Miyazaki-san has my vote. Every single one of his movies (and graphic novels) kicks ass.

Sorry O'nus, but I strongly dislike Donnie Darko. Perhaps I was expecting too much, but it seemed it could of been more. Beautiful cinematography though...

I like movies that challenge you, like Total Recall or Matrix.
Also like most comedies.
Three Amigo's
Pluto Nash
Most Adam Sandler movies:Happy Gilmore, WaterBoy

i forgot about Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail! <3

as for Donnie Darko, i wanted to see that but never did. was it any good? what's it about anyway?

and as for anime, i've only seen a handful of episodes but i like FLCL, Inuyasha, Blue Gender and thats all i remember right now...i also read the manga Chobits, any one else like that?

Requiem for a Dream
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I loved those too.
2001 was a little *spacey* at the end though.
Also anything starring Adam Sandler.
The Matrix(I haven't seen the 3rd yet).
A beutiful mind was awsome.
Black Sheep was hilarious, I've missed the big funny man ever since he died.
American Pie!!!!!!!

i didnt put this in my list. in fact, i dont think ive even seen the whole thing, but ive seen most of it

very bad things.

its one of those movies where its funny, but you pretty much just feel sorry for the characters, because all kinds of fucked up stuff happens to them.

that and fixer upper (i think thats what its called)
