So, as far as I can tell, there isn't a thread on this? I mean, what kind of autistic site is this without this thread?

You can pick more than one (only because I'm going to, otherwise it wouldn't have been allowed).

KK, um....Godfather I and II, Dirty Harry, Last of the Mohicans, Se7en, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Goodfellas, and that's it off the top of my head. Oh yeah, and Apocalypse Now. Also, you need to pick a movie and quote a line from it as best you can from memory!

Apocalypse Now: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"
Godfather Part II: "Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!"

Videodrome is what my screen name is taken from. It's an interested commentary on technology that I think was ahead of it's time as well as being very surreal sci-fi horror.

A Scanner Darkly is probably the best adaption made from the works of one of my favorite authors Philip K. Dick.

I immensely enjoyed the new sequel to Blade Runner. It was just 3 hours of soaking up this wonderful Sci-Fi atmosphere.

Current favorite is Chappie. Because I can really relate to him.

My favorite line is when he's explaining his discovery of the internet to his mom, but I can't remember the line. My next favorite line is: "Chappie want a book".

Chappie has stories!


A Scanner Darkly was really, really good. I don't know if I would list it as a top favorite, but I tend to like just about anything based on Philip K. Dick. I found a BluRay of it and it is definitely the way to go. I finally got Waking Life on DVD a few weeks ago, and need to watch it (same director, similar visual style).

The new Blade Runner doesn't really interest me, but I will watch it at some point.

I really want to get Total Recall: 2070 on DVD (the complete series), but it was only released in Canada, and is pretty hard to get now. In lieu of that, I have pretty decent rips that I downloaded :roll:


My top favorites, probably:
Total Recall (1990) - "Come on, Cohaagen, you got what you want, now give these people aiah!"
The Fugitive - "I didn't kill my wife." "I don't care."
Throw Momma from the Train - "Owen doesn't have any friends, he's fat and he's stupid!"
Beastmaster (I was going to quote the bit about his animals being his eyes, his cunning, and his strength, but I think that specific quote was actually the second movie)
the Mad Max films (especially 1 and 4) - "Anything you say." "'Anything I say'? What a wonderful philosophy you have."
The Empire Strikes Back (original theatrical) - "He could use a good kiss!"
Metropolis (1927/1984/2010) - "The mediator between head and hands must be the heart!"
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1 - "Is that her?" "No, that's her picture."
Dawn of the Dead (1978) - *pie in the face*

...I know I've watched The Super Mario Bros. movie a billion times, even though I wish they had been allowed to film the script they had written, and not had to release a re-written, unfinished movie.

I know there are others, I know there are some newer movies (or new-to-me?) that quickly became favorites. Mad Max Fury Road definitely surprised me; immediately after leaving the theatre, I couldn't wait to see it again.
Freaked might be one, but I've only watched it once so far.

I think King Kong (1933) and Gojira (1954) are quickly getting there.

Pirates of Silicon Valley? Planes Trains and Automobiles?? Groundhog Day? Favorite Christmas movies? Favorite bad movies??? I need to stop or this post will be three pages long :oops:

excellent soundtrack and cinematography but it seems all the characters hit some nerve very deep inside of me and i cannot bear to watch it ever again.


i have several films that i absolutely adore but Carrie and Spirited Away always seem to be on the top.

Coraline! I love that movie so friggin much. A few others are Labyrinth, Spirited Away, and Secret of Kells... I probably haven't seen most of the movies people listed on here, but when I find a movie I like a lot, I tend to watch it several times. I do that with songs too.

That was a classic movie! I wonder if I can do a quote from it......

"I think we all appreciate such and such's wife making the disguises and all, we just think it could have been done a little better."
