Favorite movies

What're your top ten favorite movies?
Mine:
1) Final Fantasy: Advent Children
2) The Crow
3) Underworld 2
4) Detroit Rock City
5) Dazed and Confuzed
6) Lord of the rings 2
7) Vampires Los Meurtos
8) Jackass 1
9) Napoleon Dynamite
10) Master and Commander

Wow, that list is like... do you have to practice at failing to post stuff like that? Joking, joking...

Out of those, The Crow is the only film worthy of a top ten place. I will contemplate my choices and post them later.

uuuh...off the top of my head i can ramble on about a couple...no particular order

Matrix...the first
the wrestler....very underrated....i have heard little talk about this except for the oscar nod
blues brothers
pulp fiction
the court jester
pirates of the carribean...the first

and many more, none that jump out in my mind

Too hard to make so I'll say the top 10 favourites that I can think of

1. Lord of the rings 2
2. Gladiator
3. 300
4. Star Wars : Return of the Jedi
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Inglorious Basterds
7. Shawshank Redemption
8. Shoot em up
9. Ghostbusters
10. Dirty Harry
11. Army of Darkness

300 and shoot em up were ridiculously stupid.
they were just eyecandy. they had nothing to keep the mind working

Only a boylover would say that. Isn't that right? ACADIAN?!

Right now I'm thinking (in no particular order, 'cause that would just f*ck my head deciding which films go where):

The Lives of Others
Leon
Die Hard
Capote
The Omen (the original of course)
Goodfellas
Forest Gump
Aliens

... this is too hard. I'll come back again to this again when I haven't had as many cans.

I f***ing hate Forest Gump -_- Dr Death I would have hoped you would have had far more taste than that.

Well.... this is my list, in no particular order

The Warriors
The Doors
This is Spinal Tap
Metal: A Headbanger's Journey
Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
The Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars (All of them)
Global Metal
Watchmen
To Kill A Mockingbird
There Will Be Blood

spinal tap was hilarious, but it doesnt belong on my top 10

school of rock was great. i enjoyed it.
boondock saints was great
spaceballs

This is Spinal Tap is... *checks again* the only comedy on my list. Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump each have comedy in them, but they aren't really comedies. I don't think comedies really belong on the list, because it's basically cliche jokes. But, I cannot watch This is Spinal Tap without laughing hysterically. There are just so, so many classic scenes, and the songs!

That's why I put it on there. It's always fresh for me

omg I forgot There Will be Blood
How could I? Best movie

Cool hand luke
The last boyscout
300
The Shawshank Redemption
no country for old men

The Prestige
Inglorious Basterds
Shawshank Redemption
Saving Private Ryan

hate, you know i love ya....

but no country for old men was a disaster, and abortion. i loathed every second of it.

Its a very good film (and an even better book). The problem with the film is the ending. It doesn't translate from the book very well. I'd have been tempted to have Chigurh get caught at the end if I were directing and f*ck the book.

I quite liked the movie, and I quite liked that he got away.

Thank you for making me laugh my ass off on a rather depressing night.

Here is a clip from Riki Oh

I loled, but I'm a martial arts fan and like the real stuff.

Funnily enough, the best fight scenes recently were performed by Leeam Neeson. In Taken he uses Krav Maga and Kali, real stuff that doesn't bother with being all fancy, just f*cks your oppenent up good and proper, which made a nice change to the normal movie fight scenes.

I also Like Tony Jaa, because that guy is brutal, but so fluid as well.

Ong Bak is badass

I like the real stuff too. I have an old black and white movie that I watch late at night when I'm stoned: Zaitochi - Legend of the Blind Swordsman

I didn't like 300, it was "eye candy."

There's obviously more but those are the ones from the top of my head

Can't be arsed making a list just now but my favourite film is probably Saving Private Ryan.

I can't pick a definitive 10 fave' films but here are 10 of my faves...

The Exorcist - stay away from it studio execs and producers hoping to make megabucks from a crappy pointless remake, it's a perfect film that deserves to be left alone.

Alien - Masterpiece

Halloween - I'm talking about the 70's original and not the shit stain that Rob Zombie came up with along with it's even worse sequel.

Ringu - An Asian masterclass in the subtle yet effective use of atmosphere to chill your bones.

Martyrs - An interesting and brilliant antithesis to the likes of Hostel.

Inside - Whatever the Americans can do the French can do a 100 times better when it comes to horror and Inside proves this. A real tour de force in savage claret drenched brutality.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Raw and savage with next to no bloodshed on screen, a piece of American horror movie history filmed at a time when America was going to hell in a handcart and this film shows it.

Dawn of the Dead - The best of Romero's undead films, it has so much more to say about the real world than the world the film exists in.

Blue Velvet - An oddball thriller from the master of the odd David Lynch.

Sunshine - The most emotional sci-fi movie I've ever seen.

Nice list Skaven, though I have to say, I prefer Aliens. I love that film.

A few pretty nice lists actually.

Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite.
