I have a huge movie collection, but usually only watch one or two them for a spell, then move onto another one or two that I watch. Anyone else do this?
Any way, this is to see what everyones current favorite movie(s) are?
Mine are Donnie Darko and Boondock Saints.

i used to be the typical aspie when it came to movies, I used to watch one a fair few times, but now I'm different. I watch a movie once and once is enough for me :P

Donnie Darko was my favourite film for a few months after I first saw it, but now I hardly ever watch it. My all-time very favourite would have to be Terry Gilliam's Brazil. It sums up society quite nicely I think.

I posted this in another thread about favorite films, but whatever. My uttermost two are the Nightmare Before Christmas and the first Matrix. The rest are, in alphabetical order:

Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Incredibles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hellboy, Hulk, Kung Fu Hustle, The Lord of the Rings trillogy, Me & You & Everyone We Know, Mirrormask, Office Space, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Shrek, Shrek 2, Sleepy Hollow, Spaceballs, Spider-Man 2, The Tripplets of Belleville, Underworld, Unleashed, War of the Worlds (2005), X-Men, X2: X-Men United, X3: The Last Stand


I know they're all fairly recent ('cept Spaceballs), and believe me, I have seen older films, I just dislike a lot of them because I have problems with the direction or tone or something.

I love Donnie Darko too. It makes me want to burn down houses. :twisted: Only kidding. I've just moved onto this film from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which I only saw recently because I never saw them at the theatres. I managed to pick them up from a second-hand shop for $25 - for all 3! How good is that! That's about $18 in American dollars I think.

Currently obsessed with Event Horizon.

And also the first four Hellraiser movies.
