What's your favorite movie/s?


Recommended Posts

I love hardcore sci-fi movies. Blade Runner, 2001, Alien, Solaris...

 

I like wacky sci-fi/alternate movies like Donnie Darko, Prime etc.

 

I have a weak spot for cool movies with bad plots, like the Matrix series and the Star Trek movies (I can't watch a Star Trek movie twice, they suck enough the first time). RoboCop.

 

Anything sci-fi with Arnold goes fine - Total Recall, Running Man...

 

I also really liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

 

I loved Midnight in the garden of good and evil (which is a drama, not a horror flick). And A river runs through it. And Little women. And, ah. Stuff like that.

 

Worst movie, dunno. Possibly Glimmer Man with Stephen Seagal, with all his other movies as strong contenders.

It was one big metaphor. Beautifully depicted humans. I believe it showed both positive and negative sides of what we could possibly be.

 

I concur. "Children of Men" was great on so many levels.

 

Are we bound for the sea, to flea, the wretchedness we can no longer breed?

 

But for my favorite movies, I would have to go with (in no particular order):

 

The Big Lebowski

High Fidelity

2001

Bill Cosby: Himself

...lots more...hard to make a list on the fly...

My favorite movie: Luc Besson’s ”The Fifth Element” (1997)

My favorite kind of movie: Like my favorite writing, science fiction, the harder the better; closely followed by zombie movies of the kind I call "tactical horror" (definitive example: “Dawn of the Dead”, Romero’s 1979 version, more than the 2004 remake – though I love the new one’s end)

My least favorite kind of movie: Physically nonsensical shoot-em-ups.

My least favorite movie: There are too many to decide among

 

I find the fact that my favorite movie is, by any practical measure, of my least favorite kind, an interesting and illuminating paradox.

Favorite Movie: Tie: Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits" or DeBroca's "King of Hearts"

Runner up (its too hard to pick just two!): Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria" or, yes, "The Fifth Element"

 

Favorite Genre: Romantic Comedies or Chick Flicks...

 

Genre I hate: Slasher films! Horror's okay sometimes, but gore for the sake of gore is just a complete turn off.

 

Worst film (Tormod added that one): Well, of course its "Manos, Hands of Fate!" Watchable only with the comic relief of Joel and the 'Bots!

 

We'll send him cheesy movies, the worst we can find, la-la-la, :(

I thought 28 Weeks was a scary Zombie flick. :thumbs_up I will rent the sequel now that its out on DVD soon, although reviews say its only OK.

There are so many movies even types of movies that its hard to pick!

 

I generally tend to enjoy most sci-fi movies I watch, favs: Stargate, serenity, star wars

 

I have a weakness for surf/skate/snowboarding movies like pointbreak/grind/out cold

 

I also watched an interesting one last night - Devils Advocate, not what I expected but still pretty cool.

 

My least fav movies are in line with Buffy's - slash 'em up horror flicks. Im not sure if you place Saw (1,2,3) in this category but I really enjoyed those movies for the psychology and major twists in them!
