What's your favorite movie and why?

My favorite movie is probably Pulp Fiction. I thought it was an excellent movie. This movie can appeal to both the intellectual and the common man. Pulp Fiction also had a good balance of action, comedy, and plot and though it was out there it was realistic. I also love how it is told out of order and in the end you're like "Oh, that's how it goes."

OMG where do I start!? Well, the ones that definitely stand out when I think about it, are Cursed, because it was the first real werewolf film I ever saw, Ghost Rider, because my character's big-on-vengeanceness is based on him, Spidey3, because it was definitely the best of the trilogy, I'd have to say The Harry Potter films, because the storylines are really good, and there's gonna be seven of them, and there are so many spells that it makes me want to be a wizard.

And, I love the soccer movies Bend It Like Beckham, and She's the man, because I love Soccer and they show the determination people have for the sport. And I've always liked Deep Blue Sea, Cool death sequences and love any horror movie where some beast kills people. All the TMNT movies, the trilogy and the new one, because they're hilarious and they have awesome martial arts skills, after which my character's is based on. And then there's Transformers, cool transformation sequences and kinda funny.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie and Turbo: a Power Rangers Movie, cuz I'm a Ranger fan at heart. Every Pokemon movie, because Pokemon frickin' rocks. Pretty much all the disney animated films, particularly Beauty aqnd The Beast(love the story and Beast awesome), Lilo and Stitch(funny and stitch is one of my favorite characters) Nightmare Before Christmas( Jack Skellington is frickin' sick!), and all of the Pirate films, especially the third one(johnny depp does a great sparrow and the storylines are great, lots of action, and overflowing with humor.). I pretty much love any disney movie, but those are my favorite.

The list goes on and on, I can't pick just one!

No, I loved those movies as a little kid it's just that most people I know start watching more mature movies when they get older. I was in no way trying to diss you or anything.

Cryo,

first let me say...Werewolves Rule! Cursed was good but there are some classics you should see.

In order of lychanthropic greatness:

1.American Werewolf in London

2.Wolfen

3.Underworld (the first not the second)

4.The Wolf Man

5.Wolf

6.American Werewolf in Paris

Just the tip of the Ice burg since I didn't include any of the "gems" from the 70's, but I think you'd really like those especially the first three.

The American Werewolf movies were great.

I don't think I could possibly tell you what my favorite movie is. My tastes are constantly changing, and so many great ones have been made.

Possibly my favorite is the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Not only because of how well done it was, but mainly because of the many childhood memories I have of the Narnia series. It's very close to my heart.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

“You people voted for Hubert Humphrey, and you killed Jesus” Just one of the many many quotes you find yourself slipping into conversation after watching this movie.

Dr. Strangelove.

As far as I know the only comedy about starting a nuclear war.

Brazil.

Archibald 'Harry' Tuttle (played by Robert De Niro) maybe the BEST 'heating engineer/superhero' never to be in a comic.

Donnie Darko.

I didn't see that ending coming at all!

Sexy Beasts

Screw Gandhi. This was Ben Kingsly's greatest performance.

I gtg I'll edit more in later.

I hate pulp fiction. Quentin Tarantino always tries to create such deep and artistic movies, and always fails so miserably. He just makes such amateur mistakes in his writing/directing.

Personally I don't know if I really have one favorite. A few that I really like are: Memento, Pi, Requiem for a Dream, an Heavy Metal.

good.

You're gonna have to elaborate. I think the worst Tarantino has ever done was still pretty good. And Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece.

OMG that's right! I forgot the Underworld movies!!!!!! Those too, and Van Helsing, because it has the triumvirate of monsters all in one with a really interesting story. And then National Treasure because I like the whole secret thing.

Pulp Fiction: Re-defined the way I think of le Big Mac.

The Big Lebowski: Probably one of the most quotable movies there is.

The Punisher: My favorite of the Marvel comic adaptations

Die Hard: I think that this is the king of all actions movies.

This Is Spinal Tap: "They go to 11." Funny then, still funny at Live Earth.

To NiteFly -- I think Aronofsky is MUCH more amateur-ish than Tarantino, although I love both of their work. Tarantino's work at least flows, and has a laid-back humorous sense to it. Arguably they both make "mistakes" (whatever that means), but Tarantino's work takes itself A LOT less seriously than Aronofsky's.

Back to the topic at hand...this is hard...

1) Shaft (the original)

2) Dune

3) Goodfellas

4) Clockwork Orange

5) Jackie Brown

this list is subject to change at any time

dune = one movie. there was a miniseries too. and they did a speical edition of the movie, but it sucked.

and yes, the books are WAAAAAAY better. my fav (non-comic) fiction of all time. but i would never had read the books if it wasn't for the movie, so i've got to give david lynch his due.

and Toto did the soundtrack, so you know it's a winner.

Mistakes was probably not the best choice of words, what I mean is that he makes absolutely horrible choices that turn me off of all his flicks. Much like Kevin Smith, Tarantino seems to confuse overly verbose with intelligent. That is one of his biggest problems with Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill Volume 1 was admittedly o.k. (Although I found a few aspects of the film a bit tired. For example: the gushing blood from wounds detracted from the flow of the movie. Yes I understand where it comes from I just don't believe that it translated to film very well.) Kill Bill Volume 2 just drug in comparison. From Dusk Till Dawn started out strong, but went from a decent movie to a a laughably silly horror flick (no, horror doesn't have to be silly). I didn't bother to see Jackie Brown. Same with Death Proof because the idea of a purposefully campy c-rated horror film seems a bit trite to me.

I don't feel like going into Reservoir Dogs because I think it is one of the worst films he has made. For some reason he didn't screw up Sin City, but I attribute that to Miller and Rodriguez's influence.

As for the Aronofsky comparison I find that Aronofsky brings something new and refreshing to his movies, but I agree that in the process the cinematography often suffers. You also have to take into account the much lower budget that he generally works with. Tarantino, on the other hand, brings a lot of old things to his movies in only marginally new ways.

Note that my hate of Tarantino is probably not completely Tarantino's fault. I am just tired of hearing of him. I never found him as fresh and intelligent as people make him out to be, but that's just me. The real problem I have developed over the years is probably a result of his rabid fans. Tarantino fans (much like many Monty Python fans) seem to think that if you don't like his work that you just "don't get it" often because you just aren't intelligent enough to get it. These same people ironically don't understand the difference between appreciating someone's work and enjoying it. I think that it is that attitude that has made me completely tired of him.

Ironic that I am a Die Hard Monty Python fan? I didn't bring them up because I don't like them, I just don't like the condescending attitude taken by most of their American fans. I own most everything they have ever done.

Hehe, no I totally know what you mean. I'm guilty of that too.

I was recommend you check out Jackie Brown -- since it's an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard book & therefore not conceptualized by tarantino, maybe you'll like that better?

Never know. I believe I actually have it somewhere and have never been able to bring myself to watch it. I may give it a try if I find time before school is in session.

I personally have never liked a Quentin Tarrantino movie. I like his stuff is godawful.

  1. Jaws - brilliant moviemaking; live shark footage that the sequels were lacking; excellent cast.

  2. Galaxy Quest - just because it's so darn fun

I like a lot of "entertaining" movies that might not be considered good movies but that I just love to watch: Constantine, Hellboy, Van Helsing...

Chick flicks: Practical Magic, While You Were Sleeping, How Harry Met Sally

The Matrix trilogy, Terminator 1 and 2 ( Three sucked), James Bond (it's almost all good), Original Star Wars trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Evil Dead 3, and way too many more. I've seen a lot of movies. YES, I do know that they're making another Indiana Jones.
