    Just as the title says, your favorite film ever. Sick of looking at lists on IMDB which all have the same content.

    So, I think my favorite is a subbed movie called martys. Gross but excellent!

    Will give every movie mentioned consideration

    agree Martyrs was crap.

    The Thing (1982)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Joe10000


    Not the best movie by any stretch and its mentioned all the time but "The Jerk" is my favourite movie of all time.

    Back To The Future.

    That may be a nostalgia thing though... But maybe that's why many people have 'favourites' anyway!

    Saving Private Ryan with Jurassic Park a close second. I really like the spectacle in those two but for style Fight Club and Pulp Fiction

    I read that as one title. 'Saving Private Ryan With Jurassic Park.

    Interesting mashup.

    I have made no secret of my disappointment at the 3rd but while I loved the first 2 in the trilogy I wouldn't even consider either my favourite film of all time.

    Not picking a fight or anything but I'm genuinely curious as to what exactly is it about TDKR that makes it a better film than Begins or TDK, let alone your favourite film ever?

    I found it more emotional and thought it was a perfect ending to bruce waynes story. Also catwomans ass was also great

    While it isn't my favourite movie of all time, or even in my top 10, TDKR has some of my favourite scenes of all time.

    I love the scene where we see the disheveled Bruce for the first time being burgled by Selina Kyle. It felt perfect, the score was perfect. Then of course we have the First Bane fight, that was amazing, the dialogue and menace of Bane were brilliant. Then you have pretty much every Alfred scene.
