I love movies, and recently lucked out into having a movie fanatic housemate.. with a projector! Most of my nights have been spent chilled out in bed watching a 2mx3m screen of whatever sounded interesting that day. :pac: Got any suggestions?

Btw, I forgot to add one of my favourite Irish movies of all time: Breakfast on Pluto! Love that film to bits-- Cillian makes a stunning girl!

There's actually loads I left off the list, and even more than that that I haven't got on my computer.

I can't have one single "favourite," movies are like any other form of art, you can love a load of different things for a load of different reasons. That's also why I don't really have one distinct genre or theme I stick to.

Oh I always, always love Crouching Tiger. The women fighting against the norms, and so much symbolism and metaphor. And the kick ass martial arts!!
The illusionist.

I like labyrinth also!
Oh and V for vendetta, wow.


I see a few mentions of Up, I only saw it recently, it was so touching.

I thought the bourne movies were kick ass.
And Chocolat!

There's probably loads I've forgotten.

But yeah I think crouching tiger, illusionist and v for vendetta are my top ones.

baby and crumble

I love movies- Cineworld Unlimited Card FTW!!!

Up
You, Me and Everyone We Know
Toy Story (The whole Trilogy)
Labyrinth
The Princess Bride
American History X

And my guilty pleasure- the Highschool Musical series.

I know, I know... :o:o:o

The Green Mile
Avatar
Harry Potter

Malari

I hate watching things twice so there's very few movies I'd watch more than once. However, these would make my list:

The Star Wars Trilogy (such a feelgood movie)
Back to the Future I (childhood classic)
The Goonies (another childhood classic)
Shrek I & II (always makes me giggle "cake got layers":D )
The Princess Bride (EVERY Christmas!)
Fight Club (I've watched half a dozen times and love Helena Bonham Carter in it, and just love Edward Norton in general)
Hot Fuzz ("He's NOT Judge Judy and executioner!":p)
Kill Bill I & II (the music and ass-kicking really!)

Even movies I love I don't like to watch again, so the ones in my list normally make me laugh!

[REC.]

Have you seen [REC.] 2 yet? Saw it over the weekend, and it's surprisingly good. It lifts the veil a bit on the whole mystique of the first film, but makes up for it by being really creepy and quite action-packed. Look at it this way. Alien was a horror, and Aliens was an action film. [REC.] 1 & 2 kinda follow a similar path.

As for my own list...

2001: A Space Odyssey
The Big Lebowski
In The Mood For Love
Memento
Apocalypse Now
Seven Samurai
Blade Runner
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Dr. Strangelove
Yojimbo
Sanjuro (hence the username)
Annie Hall
2046
Badlands
Dead Man's Shoes
Die Hard
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
Ringu
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

la-la-la-la-la-la... etc.

liah

I saw the second one, but I didn't like it all that much, mainly because it was completely focused on the only part of [REC.] that I didn't love--

the religious aspect, demons etc.

It was much more frightening to me when it was either

unexplained or some disease

.. I can't take the whole

demon spirit thing

seriously at all!

Sanjuro

Usually, I'd agree. The whole

possession

thing has been done to death. However, I thought the whole idea of

possession through infection

was pretty novel. Maybe it's because I was expecting something muck that I was impressed. Sure, it wasn't amazing. And as horrors go, it's wasn't very horror-ry, but what can I say?! I liked it!

Catari Jaguar

Eh, me. I love that film! Bless your beautiful hide.

I can never pick a favourite film. Depending on what mood I'm in I want different things.

• Any Disney movie (basically so I can have a good weep. Usually at the happy, inappropriate bits. When Mufasa dies, not a sniffle. When Simba climbs pride rock and roars, floods.)
• Lars and the real girl
• See no evil, hear no evil
• Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory (original)
• Homeward Bound
• Calamity Jane: Or any Doris day film for that matter
• Imitation of life
• Die Hard
• 28 days later
• The Woodcutter
• When Harry met Sally
• City Slickers
• Lord of the Rings (So excited for the Hobbit!)

It's so hard to think of movies off hand. Still. I really hope they make the emperor series by Conn Iggulden into movies. It would be class. Although, movies tend to ruin books. Like The golden Compass and Eragon. love the books, hate the films.

Okay, enough ranting!

I'm the same, my two favourite movies are Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws, but I cant pick one as a definitive favourite, I love em both I have a favourite rainy Saturday movie (Goonies) a sick day movie (Lost In Translation) and a bunch of others that I've seen dozens of times but never get sick of (Princess Bride ftw )
