Nosferatu
Pulp Fiction
Seven Samurai
uhhh any of the early star wars I suppose, I like them all on different levels and don't feel inclined toward one or the other.
The Wizard of Oz

as much as I'd love to say M. and I did love it the first time I gotta say low replay value puts it off my list.
Fight Club and the Matrix are great, but have started to feel dated.

My favorite new movie is definetly District 9. It gets huge points for having a god damn realistic person as a lead for once. The visual effects on that one are absolutely astounding when you consider the film's budget(also when you don't).

For me, it is always changing, as I change. I saw Fight Club in a theatre when it first came out and when I left, I kind of had tunnel vision... I don't know what else to call it, but I was extremely affected by that movie. Another favorite of mine is Waking Life. There are so many good movies though. Do you have any recommendations?
That happened to me after I saw the last Lord of the Rings, omg. I'm glad we left before the ending song played or I might have just died right there.

But the very best movie I think I've ever seen has to be Moulin Rouge. It's just like.. I don't even know how they MADE that thing. It's like they made a movie and then put it in a blender with everything amazing and then shot it out of the projector all over your face.

Fight Club for the longest time. But It would be 1. Goodfellas and 2. The Departed, then Fight Club. Raging Bull is up there too. Can you tell who my favorite director of all time is?! LOL

My favorite is still -Casablanca- with Bogart and Bergman.

We'll always have Paris.

15 favourites:

Apocalypse Now Redux
Beavis & Butt-Head Do America
Dead Man
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
Freddy Got Fingered
Full Metal Jacket
Guest House Paradiso
Heart of Glass
Lessons of Darkness
Mister Lonely
Napoleon Dynamite
The Running Man
Tromeo and Juliet
The White Diamond
The Wild Blue Yonder


In general, I'm not much of a fan of many of the directors that most cinephiles love (I'm hardly a cinephile myself, though). I find a lot of them - Bergman, Godard, Haneke, Fassbinder, Kurosawa, to name a few - to be excruciatingly boring. Two major exceptions to this are Werner Herzog and Harmony Korine, who are quite highly regarded in the cinephile community, and who I absolutely adore.

Well, here's what I currently consider my five top favorites, in no particular order:

The Thing (the remake)
The Star Wars trilogy (I consider the three to be one long story)
Blue Velvet
The Saddest Music in the World
Cthulhu

Granted, this is apt to change.

A Clockwork Orange is probably my favorite. I like all the Stanley Kubrick films I've seen.

Before Sunrise, could also agree with Waking Life
Speed Racer, I love all their work, but this is a visual orgasm- a step closer to the river
Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone
There Will Be Blood

I thought it was a very good film adaptation of the novel. But I would hardly rate it as my favorite film. It was quite interesting. I think so, and so do my droogies.

i totally lack the art gene, so i am not really qualified to critique a movie in conventional reviewer's terms. this said, my favorites are:

*seconds- a bone-chilling, suspensefully warped thing rod serling probably dreamed of making as a twilight zone episode.
*reanimator- a totally over-the-top guffaw-fest. horror meets comedy here.
*the crying game- story, story and story. end of story.
*paint your wagon- hear lee marvin bullfrog-croak "wanderin' star." hear clint eastwood warble "i talk to the trees." a tuneful hoot with some beautiful singing by harve presnell ["they call the wind mariah"]
*dr. strangelove- a persuasively demented doomsday comedy
*the adding machine- a curiously inviting yet ultimately sad look at one man's heaven
*the flimflam man- george c. scott at his most likeably rogueish, as a southern scammer
*freebie and the bean- the great grandaddy of all riotous buddy cop films
*patton- although i'd have preferred 2nd choice actor rod steiger to play him, george c. scott does a mesmerizing turn as general george s. patton. totally atmospheric and involving.
*the reincarnation of peter proud- EERIE!
*ressurrection- is in the dictionary as the definition for "bittersweet"

too many others to list here
