What's your favourite film, and why?

Mine's probably either of the last two in the Mariachi trilogy (so Desperado or Once Upon a Tme in Mexico) because...

Antonio Banderas is in them
They have the most amazing soundtracks
I love action films
I'm fascinated with Mexico and Latin America
Parts of it are in Spanish, which is such a gorgeous language (and I can understand half of it! Go me!) :)


Anyway, now that you know I'm mad about these films, what is/are your favourite film(s)?

My absolute favorite is The Matrix, because I'm a geek :P

I like too many movies to pick a favoriate :) Theres just so much and I cant name them all! ummm Matrix, Titanic, Internal affairs, Rush hour, rush hour 2, blue moon, scary movie 1-3 >.<

Mine would have to Oceans 11. Because well i dunno its just a great movie.

The Matrix, LOTR and Back to the Future trilogies are good... so is Napoleon Dynamite just because it's so stupid :P I think my favourite kids cartoon movie might be Finding Nemo, but favourite of all it's too tough to decide.

The Green Mile





(i'm sorry, have nothing more to say haha)

I can't pick an actual favourite, but I have a few that are tied for 1st place.

"Boiler Room" - I love Giovanni Ribisi, and it just has that special something that I latched onto. Funny, great acting, just all around superb.
"When Harry Met Sally" - Classic Meg Ryan film. I love everything Meg Ryan, and this is the one romantic movie that I always cry at no matter what.
"Amelie" - Gorgeous film making, Audrey Tatou and Mathieu Kassovitz are spectacular together (not to mention, he's gooooooooorgeous). It's quirky and romantic. I took a picture of a photo booth in the Metro in Paris because of this movie!

I love soooo many movies, but what comes to mind is Eraser, with Ahnollld Schwahtzen-egger.

It's weird because when I was pregnant with my 4th child, I had this "craving" for Action/Adventure movies. And I saw that movie 5 times! :eek: Don't ask me why, it's still a mystery to me.

I love The Notebook! So sad. :( I also love Crossroads (Britney Spears's movie) It was cute in a cheesy way. But it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.

I :heart: all the Lord of the Rings movies b/c they are awesome and they also have Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortenson, and Orlando Bloom :hehe:

if it weren't already obvious that I liked it by my name and signature :)

Don't laugh, Irobot... My friend forced me to watch that movie and I actually really liked it. I can't help it, I'm hooked on technology movies, also has anyone seen Simone? It's not very popular but I've seen at least six times by now... :P I also really like all the Harry Potter movies... However the books are a lot better... And... I'm sure there are tons more but I don't want to hog up this thread... lol...

I have too many, but just a few:

The matrix
Lord of the rings
The terminator

:)

LOTR, POTC, Finding Nemo, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Lion King (shut up!), The Pink Panthers (except the first one), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban...

Hmmm I like foreign moves such as Battle Royale.
That is the best movie thats ever came out of Japan. :)

Definitely Donnie Darko. Then Remember The Titans (I love the music from that movie!) and Sister Act (again, the music haha)

Mine is Pirates of the Caribbean.. because I love Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp is HILARIOUS in it.. and really bad eggs...

Lol, I love so many different movies :rolleyes: To name just a few: LOTR, Harry Potter, Scary movie (all 3), King Arthur :buckt: and the Beauty and the Beast :lolol: I'd say it's the best Disney film :) And I could go on... but I won't :elf:

My favourite films are:

The Truman Show.....Stars the funniest man in the world, Jim Carey!
Harriet the spy....you've probly never heard of it! Its really old, and stars Michelle Tratchenborg(Dawn in Buffy) when she woz bout 10!
A Bugs life...... :blush:
Monsters inc.....tehehe
Finding nemo.....i love most animated films really!
Titanic..... :crying: those 2 were made for each other!
Bring it on..... :cheer2: so much cheerleading coolness!

Phwew..there are more, believe me.

see i dont have favourites because i am constantly changing my mind but i watched "coach carter" last nite and so today - that is my favourite :) tom hanks' movie "forest gump" changed my life tho, oh and "titanic" - both really sad films!!!

myn is the matrix
its was original and unique at the time so i was hooked.
LOTR 3 is pretty cool
forest gump was brilliant the truman show was pretty clever.

the matrix though is the best film ever! my hat goes off to the wachowski brothers .
and also to will smith who turned down the role for playing neo,so keanu reeves got it *yay* :)

The Terminator series is my absolute favorite - the whole time travel part of the plot really puts a twist in it... it makes you wonder if 'dead' characters will come back... hmm. (plus... the second and third were hilarious, lol)

LotR - Obviously!

Antitrust - Fictional but realistic in a creepy way... plus.. it was nerdy.

Pirates of the Caribbean - was that movie by Disney? I don't believe that.

The Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged - HILARIOUS!... to a theater nerd. =P

Pirates of the Caribbean was by Disney yes :) They have a Pirates of the Caribbean ride at disneyland :buckt:

I love Forest Gump, but another great movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's fab, I love it :heart:

I loved Drop Dead Fred....no explanation though, it's just cool :)

Harriet the spy....you've probly never heard of it! Its really old, and stars Michelle Tratchenborg(Dawn in Buffy) when she woz bout 10!
It can't be that old if I remember when it came out :lol:

TROY

1. It has my two fav. actors in it, who i am OBSESSED with =P <33 (Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom.
2. I love Greek Mythology B)
3. Great Story. Period. :)

&& i guess Pirates of the Caribbean and LOTR is good to, but troy is #1 =D

Hmmm.. my latest favorites have been Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Garden State. I like them because they're not the same old predictable story. I don't think I can really pick a favorite movie of all time though :P

My favorite movie is this movie called Anne B. Real because it is about this girl who wan'ts to be a rapper, and doesn't let anybody take away her dream.

I love, absolutely LOVE, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It has everything. Love! Anger! Underwear parties!

After that is Royal Tenenbaums, of course. An underrated movie, indeed.

Erghh... I don't have a favorite, yet at the same time I have to many Long list...

Here we go (not in order, just randomized):
Marry Poppins, it's really Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious.

Baby's Day Out, funny funny movie.

Finding Nemo, who doesen't like a fish that can read, sharks that try to give up eating fish, a buck-toothed fish, and big giant 'but' floating in the ocean.

The Ring, i'm dying to see the second one. It's creepy, but awesome.

Miss Congeniality, I love that movie, and trying to patiently wait for the sequeal.

LOTR, I like all three. They're just plain good.

POTC, I love this movie. My favorite part is when you first see Cap. Jack in is sinking boat.

Bug's Life, "...Whoa, she's a guy!" Funny movie.

Veggie Tales, all of them. Larry and Bob shall never rot!

Elf, one of the best christmas movies ever!

Toy Story, 1 and 2. I love those movies.

I'm going to stop now, I have more but I don't want to end up taking a lot of space, just part of it like I did.

Elf, one of the best christmas movies ever!
The other being A Christmas Story, naturally ;)

Yes, that is so very true.

I can't pick one favorite...but here's my list :)


Favorite Foreign Film: Maria Full of Grace: Columbian Drug Mule..a must watch

Comedy: way way way too many:

Just Married (Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy can be quite an act)
There's Something About Mary (Hilarious! Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller..woot)
and many more...

Horror Film:

Dawn of The Dead- First "horror" film thats left me...well..horrified..in a long time.

Animated/Disney/Cartoony Films:

Beauty and the Beast: I swear..I'll be 89 and still loving it.
Finding Nemo...need I even explain?
Monsters Inc...cute
Mulan...wow...finally a non Caucasian Princess! lol..not that I mind...but seriously...they couldn't all be with "fair skin..as white as snow" :P
Pocahontas..erm..not blonde and blue eyed?

Action/Thriller Film:

I've liked several, but they all have a sub-genre that could go with "comedy" or "romance"...

Rush Hour 1 & 2- Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker...no greater combo! (by the way..is it just me..or is it a coincidence that a lot of these "action/thriller" films have a white and black detective combo ALL the time...seriously..check it out)

Erm...there are MANY more..real Action stuff to excite and action buff...but I forgot their names...so..yeah.

Action/Thriller/Fight:

Hero: Not exactly my fave...but it was pretty good..I would have preffered renting it though. Jet Li and the whole cast were pretty ^^^^ good.

..and many films dealing with the stereotypical idea that all Chinese men learn to fight at birth :)

Horror/Mind Twist:

Red Dragon - Hannibal Lector, anyone? Silence of the Lambs comes to mind...

there was a different film I wanted to put..it was really good, but like most of my faves..I forgot the name :confusion:

__________________________________________________ _________

This isn't the list of faves I would have liked to have made..but alas...my memory for movie titles is simply pathetic. These will have to do.

Oh and...I remember Harriet the Spy ;)



WAIT!

There were so many movie genre's I wanted to list..can't remember them all...but one!

Tear Jerker Film:

The Green Mile-hands down...one of the greatest tear jerking films ever.

Right next to "Schindler's List"...even more sorrowful...

oops...I might have ranted a bit there...

I would have to say... The mummy. I just love that movie. I have literaly memorised the entire movie. From the begining to the end!

A lot of people say Donnie Darko is really weird and they didn't get it at all. Maybe I can rent it someday and see. My favorite movies are:

In America - lovely movie about an Irish family that movies to America...sounds cheesy, but I didn't think it was.

I am Sam - a mentally retarded man loses custody of his daughter and enlists the help of a lawyer to get her back. I have seen it so many times.

Garden State - don't know what to say about it; I thought the acting was great and the soundtrack is too!

sisqoluv, me n u r the only ppl who's favorite movies SCARFACE?!?!?!? i thought there would be a lot more, but ya that movies is the best

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, donnie darko, royal tenenbaums, edward scissorhands, amelie, empire records, garden state, probably a lot more that i forgot. why? because they're great.. and weird just like me :)

sisqoluv, me n u r the only ppl who's favorite movies SCARFACE?!?!?!? i thought there would be a lot more, but ya that movies is the best

I'm surprised, too. When it came to DVD, EVERYONE was going out to buy it, and a lot of posters and stuff for it popped up and were sold out. There are a ton of people who love that movie, but they're just not at LEIA.

sisqoluv, me n u r the only ppl who's favorite movies SCARFACE?!?!?!? i thought there would be a lot more, but ya that movies is the best

well yeah you probably have to like that sort of movie, it's a movie that you love or hate.
Like i know plenty that hated "Ocean's eleven" but i loved it because ofthe way it was made etc.

(and i hate scarface aswell :P whaha)

my favourite movie is definately one of the Austin Powers Trilogy. I love Mike Myers' sense of humour and how he acted out most of the characters himself. That would have taken alot of work.
