Amac I was about to throw you down and hump you right here right now for having compiled such a good list--especially the two Guy Ritchie movies--two of my all time favorites...but then you had to go and ruin it by throwing in Ronin and Rushmore...
We could have had something beautiful...
Ronin is one of the best action/suspense/international intrigue films ever made outside of the Bond series.
I can't believe you people left out BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA. One of my all time favorites.
If i had to make a list, this would be it.
1. Star Wars Series (not the stupid new ones, the old 3)
2. Matrix 1 (Matrix 2,3 SUCKED)
3. Big Trouble in Little China
4. the Princess Bride
5. Shindlers List
6. Saving Private Ryan
7. Lord of the Rings
8. Guy Ritchie Films
9. the Breakfast Club
10. Raiders of the Lost Ark
there is a ton more but i can't remember them all.
One flew over the cuckoos nest,
The deerhunter.
Crocodile Dundee.1
The Outsiders
Sandlot
Breakfast Club
Mulholland Drive
Schindler's List
Fight Club
To Kill a Mockingbird
Beauty and the Beast (Disney)
Ahhhhh yes JACK THE BEAR!!!!
doc....
Pi was pretty weird but definitely cool. Check out Requiem for a Dream...it's the same director. Very intense!
I agree. Requiem for a Dream was too intense! I bought that movie. Freaked me out. I never saw Marlon Wayans play anything that serious. He was good.
Best....
The Ring
Ben Hur
Alien
The Matrix ( I liked them all)
Andromeda Strain
The Beguiled (Clint Eastwood)
The Changeling
The Haunting (original 1963 version)
The Other (very disturbing movie)
Cat People
Dead Ringers
Desperado
The Piano
Worst....
Any of the Austin Powers movies.
House of the Dead
Hollow Man
Any Chuck Norris movies.
In no particular order, but most of these I could (and have) watch over and over again.
Antonia's Line --- one of the best tear jerkers ever, I still cry when I see this film.
Hurricane - the movie Denzel Washington should have won an Oscar for his acting
Alien and Aliens(the directors cut) - The original was the template for every sci-fi flick after.
The Color Purple - there is nothing like this film. I wish Whoopi would play more roles like this one.
To Live --- I guess I like to purge my tearducts?
Curdled - Ummm not for everyone
Pulp Fiction - you either love it or hate it
Monsters Ball --- Halle Berry and BillyBob Thornton , acting doesn't hold you like this in every film.
To Kill a Mockingbird - this should be on everyones list
Interview with a Vampire - surprize surprize --- who knew Tom Cruise could pull this off!
Salton Sea - Excellent acting pay attention to Vincent D'onofrio
Saving Private Ryan - Pretty much everything Tom Hanks except Forrest Gump
A League of their Own - "There's no crying in baseball"
Road to Perdition
The Producers (Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder were hilarious)
My Left Foot - My first Daniel DayLewis film. I always knew the Irish were the greatest actors
Last of the Mohicans --- oh god I still get weak kneed over this one, everyone inthis film is just soooo good
Predator 2 - Danny Glover is one of my alltime favorites
Witness - a classic
We were Soldiers - basically most of the Vietnam movies
Platoon --- absolutely the very best Vietnam war movie
Apocalypse Now
Usual Suspects - one of the absolutely greatest casts you'll ever see together
The Hunt for Red October - I've probably watched this 100 times... hey, Sean Connery and a Baldwin?
Musicals: Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story(I like to be in America, ok by me in America....oooo the dancing)
Okay, I am fundamentally unable to narrow this down ... yes I love movies.
These are some of my all-time favorite movies in no particular order:
Okay, what have I forgotten???
