What's the bestest movie(s) you've seen?

In light of recent discussions in another thread, i thought the topic deserves one of it's own. The question is basic really, just your average run of the mill 'favourite movie(s)' query.

Here's mine (in no particular order except those indicated) and why:

1. The Shawshank Redemption
cos it's good
1. Mallrats
cos it's funny
1. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
cos it's funnier
1. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
cos it's uplifting (in a sad way)
1. Gladiator
cos it's Russell

The rule is max. of five. why? cos it just is!

So what are yours? You can tell a lot about person, by what movies they like. Especially if they list five Pauly Shore movies.

fav movies for this year would be,

resident evil
cos its so cool and just very enjoyable.

the ring
cos it really scared me and i dont ususally watch scary movies and i figure if a movie can affect me that much it must be good.

big trouble
it really made me laugh.

heaven
cos its just perfect.

haha didnt see that one coming

My favorite movie of all time would be a little known movie called "A Better Tomorrow" ... its a chinese HK movie made in 1986, it was the movie that re-vitalised the Hong Kong movie industry. It was also the highest grossing box-office movie in most of Asia until Titanic came along.

The movie starred Chow Yun-Fat of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame. And it was directed by John Woo.

Hmmm, there are other movies which i absolutely love, but can't seem to get them out of my head at the moment.

The Fast and The Furious
The Matrix
Me, Myself and Irene
Die Hard with a vengeance
Shawshank Redemption

and some other chinese movies like god of gamblers

How could i forget the Terminator series!

star wars (4,5 & 6)
pulp fiction
from dusk till dawn
trainspotting
jurassic park 1 (obsession with dinosaurs..)

funky. a movie thread!

thought provoking movies are the ones i adore the most.
they have some sort of influence in your life by allowing you glimpses of diff perspectives, tho half the time, interpretations are always somewhat subjective.

anyway.

1] American Beauty
2] Requim for a Dream
3] Fight Club
4] Vanilla Sky
5] The whole Kevin Smith series, Chasing Amy being my fav.

cheerio!

JayKue has excellent taste in movies.

This movie affected me in such a way that i found it almost unbearable to actually watch it. Sometimes it just becomes too much, especially when you feel so sorry for the characters.

I prefer to see more 'uplifting' films only because sometimes i need to be reminded how good the human spirit can be. I'm such a downer!

I also like how you guys have exploited the 'max of five films' by including 'honourable mentions' but thats understandable, this is known to be one of the hardest questions in life.

Grrrrr, "bestest" is a double superlative. Don't you remember your grade 5 English teacher ranting on about that?

Anyway off the top of my head,

1. The Matrix
2. Lock, Stock & Two smoking barrels.the matrix
3. South Park - Bigger, longer, and uncut
4. American Pie
5. The Usual Suspects

Can I put in Ferry Corsten World Tour Tokyo 2002 DVD as number 6?

One of the things I hate most in life is putting things into categories or rating them...arghhh

I can't choose 5 but I have to it's so evil I feel like I'm being forced to do something heheh even though it's my choice to post....oh well, 'nuff ranting..

hrmmmm

Vanilla Sky, was tops
Memento, was great
Natural Born Killers, just for ingenuity/creativeness/uniqueness
Cube, for the character exploration
Dark City, awesome whackiness


Honourable Mention goes to : Pool Hall Junkies.
Christopher Walken is the coolest man on the planet, and if you like billiards/pool, this movie rocks

look, I can't choose 5!
anyway here are my favourites...

- 101 Reykjavik
- Pulp Fiction
- The Idiots
- Natural Born Killers
- Requiem For A Dream
- The Toxic Avenger <-- "he's faking!" ahh, I love Troma


Special mentions to:
- Trainspotting
- Full Metal Jacket
- Lost Highway
- Mulholland Drive
- The Conversation
- Suikoden: Demon Century [English Dub] <-- one of those "it's so bad, it's GOOD" animes. great characters! it has a nun/ninja named "Sister Syko" in it..how can it not be one of my faves!?

oh yeah! Requiem For A Dream had a profound effect on me as well. It's such an involving movie...I became really attached to the characters, so it was so depressing to watch them be destroyed. oh man, I was shaking in some parts of that movie, and by the end of it I was in tears!
I really liked the film techniques..the stylish split screens etc were very impressive!
Anyway, I think it's an absolutely fuckin brilliant movie! Darren Aronofsky is a great director. That's why it's one of my faves

Mmm...all this hype, i must see Is it out on video?


on a side note; Didn't JunkieXL do the soundtrack to Reqiuem for a Dream?

Trainspotting

oh, i hope it's not hyped too much for you...you probably will be disappointed!
yes...it is out on video

i'm not sure if JunkieXL did the soundtrack or not...but i guess that would explain why the soundtrack is so good
