What are some of your favorite movies?

[JenRN]

I am a bit of a movie junkie and have tons of favorites!!! My top favorite movie would have to be "Planes Trains & Automobiles" with John Candy and Steve Martin! No matter how sad or mad I am that movie cracks me up!!!! Some of my other favorites are...

1) Almost Famous
2) Forrest Gump
3) Fried Green Tomatoes (chick flick)
4) Titanic ( have been a titanic junkie for many years before the movie)
5) My Big Fat Greek Wedding (great flick)
6) Silence of the Lambs
7) Cast Away
8) The Patriot (Mel Gibson)

I pretty much like all Tom Hanks flicks!!! I really love movies!! Hard to narrow it down!

[Creed18]

My favorite movies are definitely Tommy Boy and Beverly Hills Ninja!! Just think about how many great movies Chris Farly would have if he was still alive.:(

[allison]

My all time favorite is The Breakfast Club - one of the funniest movies ever, plus Judd Nelson is HOT in this movie in a very Stapp-esque way.

Others include:

The Shawshank Redemption (2nd favorite)
The Silence of the Lambs (psychological f**k)
Forrest Gump
Fried Green Tomatoes (Tawandaaaaa!)
Raiders of the Lost Arc
An Officer and a Gentleman
Pretty Woman (who doesn't love this movie?)
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (Dolly sings I Will Always Love You to Burt in this!)

There are so many others but I can't think well right now!

[Mulletman]

lord of the rings
the matrix
silence of the lambs
breakfast club
fast times and ridgemont high (sp?)
ferris bueler's day off
back to the future (part 1 is the best)
saving private ryan
gladiator
jackass (i still cant believe i paid $6 to see this movie.....:()
debbie does dallas

....no wait... no... i mean....... did i just say that...?

[JenRN]

MM .... Lord of the Rings.. awesome flick! Makes you want to go to New Zealand!:D

[DangerousDan85]

Some of my newer favorites are Spider-man, Office Space, Meet the Parents, Saving Silverman and Joy Ride

I like the James Bond movies and the Leprechauns

My classics are Terminator 1 and 2, Jaws, Halloween and Ghost Busters.

[Read JDM]

My favorites are the Back To The Future series. Man, I love those movies.

[TeriB19]

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is one of the funniest movies ever made. I saw that in the theatre and probably missed some funny lines from laughing so hard. One of the best parts is Steve Martin trying to get a rental car from Edie McClurg. The bedroom scene "Those aren't pillows!!!"

Anything with Tom Hanks you can just go ahead and call my favorites.

I think Denzel Washington is the best actor of this era, and Tom Hanks is a close second. However, all things being equal, I think your average Tom Hanks movie might be better than your average Denzel Washington picture. I know it doesn't seem like a natural comparison between these guys because they're so different, but it's a natural comparison in the sense that I don't think any other actors right now come quite close to these two. Morgan Freeman's pretty damned good, also.

Yeah, he's a good actor... but this new Catch me if you Can movie is really going to test my limits. Leonardo DiCaprio in ANY movie tests my limits, whether or not you have Hanks and Speilberg.

[Dogstar]

I love Denzel Washington. Training Day wasn't a great movie, but his performance was phenomenal.

[Read JDM]

I don't know if I like DiCaprio, per se, but this Gangs of New York movie looks great.

[Mulletman]

oh i love office space..... <i>"I believe that's my stapler...."</i>

[DangerousDan85]

Quotes from Office Space-

"Hey check out channel 9!!!"

"I can't beleive I told those fudgepackers I like Michael Bolton."

and last

" Stupid Mother Sh*tin... Son of an Ass!!!

... you have to see the movie to get those.

[PaulMcCoygirl]

Orange COunty
Out Cold
Signs
Meet the Parents
Hannibal
Silence of the Lambs

[Mulletman]

i didnt like hannibal, silence was better.

[Dogstar]

Silence gave me nightmares for days, so I wouldn't see any of the other ones.:eek:

[JenRN]

Definatley!!!! Have you seen Red Dragon?

[Read JDM]

I liked Silence of the Lambs the best, but in no way did I let that stop me from seeing Hannibal or Red Dragon. Both were great in their own right. And believe me, without giving it away, the last 5-10 minutes of Hannibal will give you nightmares if anything in Silence of the Lambs did.

[JenRN]

Yeah Read.... The last 10 minutes of Hannibal was purely discusting!!! I like Silence of the Lambs MUCH better though, just more suspenseful and creepy, not just grewsome scenes!!!:eek:

[Pittock]

I like alot of movies but here are ones I never tire of:
Shawshank Redemption
Almost Famous
Rock Star
When A Man Loves a Woman
Godfather 1 & 2
Heat

[Mulletman]

ive been wanting to see rock star

[JenRN]

Yeah it is pretty good, like Almost Famous better though!

[Read JDM]

Rock Star was a bit of a letdown, to be quite honest. Almost Famous was great.

[Dogstar]

Loved Almost Famous...A few others: Memento, American Beauty, Lone Star, Eight Men Out...many more.

Read, how did you like Red Dragon? I am thinking about going to see it. I have seen Silence and Hannibal and thought Silence was MUCH, MUCH better. How do you think Red Dragon compares to these two?

[Mulletman]

guess its time to go to blockbuster and check out almost famous

I thought it stacked up to Silence as well as Hannibal did. I really liked all three movies, to tell you the truth. The chemistry between Hannibal and Ed Norton's character added a really cool twist, the bad dude (can't think of his name) was really f'd up, and I enjoyed the performance by the blind girl (again, can't remember the name). This one wasn't nearly as grotesque as either of the other two, but it was a solid movie in my mind.

silence was great, hannibal was too grotesque for me. i was hoping for more of a psychological thriller than some "cut-em-up" movie

[allison]

I agree, I think a psychological thriller is much scarier than a blood-and-guts flick. Although the cannibalistic slant of the Hannibal Lecter films is quite freaky...I think b/c there is something very psychologically disturbing about human cannibalism.

[TeriB19]

I prefer the psychological thriller. I like more intelligent movies. Slasher flicks were alright when I was younger, but now they are just stupid (IMO).

[Xterminator27]

OMGH!! HOW COULD I HAVE FOGOTTEN MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE!??!
MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL!!!

[DangerousDan85]

said this before and it is Jennifer Aniston's first film




THE LEPRECHAUN

THE COWBOY WAY

[Xterminator27]

My words R bigger

[Prism]

In the last year I would say:
Bandits (Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton)
Sweet Home Alabama
Panic Room
Monster's Inc. :dancing:

[DangerousDan85]

it was so sick when the guy in Panic Room got his hand smashed in the door, that was gross.

[Prism]

Yeah !!! But the hose and propane tank was pretty clever.

[DangerousDan85]

yeah and you knew what was gonna happen. The guy kept putting his ear to the wall.

[Prism]

Oh yeah !!! He so deserved it too. LOL

[DangerousDan85]

I might have liked the movie better if there wasn't a crying baby at the theatre I saw it at. The theatre was dirty to.

[Prism]

:( That is no fun !!! If it is not a kid crying it is someone's phone ringing. I hate that. Rude people.:mad:

[Lady Valkyrie]

Favorite Movies:

Titanic
Braveheart
Gone With The Wind
Scarlett (the sequal to Gone With The Wind)

I have wanted to see Sweet home alabama, is it really good? It looks so good, but I wasn't sure. You never know. I thought Orange County looked hilarious, but I saw it and seriously all of the funny parts were in the previews and that was it, it was horrible.

Ok, I am gonna rent, Almost Famous, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Office Space.

[TeriB19]

Ferris was great. The Breakfast Club was awesome. But Jackass? What jackass would pay to see that crap? (OOOOPS. Sorry Mullet:D )

[Mulletman]

i'll be honest with you, it was very very funny. it was 8 dollars here too but i used my student ID so i got a 2 dollar discount (whooptie-fucking-do) but there are some rather "uncomfortable" scenes, i almost puked twice. but i honestly loved it. i would see it agian if i could.

Great...............thanks for the puke warning. Instead of "Dinner & a Movie" I think I'll just see the movie!

[Dogstar]

Ferris Bueler's Day Off is one of my all-time fave comedies.
I've seen a gazillion times and it still makes me laugh.

that is a good one. did you see the article on msn about the principal in that movie? he was doing some pervert stuff with pee wee herman or something. i was totally trippin' because he is an all time famous actor. let me see if i can find the article, since it's been a few weeks and I will post it. it really freaked me out.

[hotforscott]

here it is. i never knew anything about this and that was always a favorite movie of mine so it really just freaked me out.

Yes, people at work were making all kinds of cracks about it. Jeffrey Jones has been in a ton of stuff. Big-time character actor and he was just a scream in Ferris, along with Edie McClurg. I love when she tells him he sounded just like Dirty Harry and when she keeps pulling the pencils out of her hair, sniffing glue, when she calls Jennifer Grey a little a**hole...the list goes on.

[TeriB19]

Abe Froehman, the Sausage King of Chicago. Devilishly handsome.

[Dogstar]

"It's understanding that makes people like us tolerate a person such as yourself."-- Ferris to the snooty/snotty restaurant guy.

[TeriB19]

"I have a scorching case of herpes" - Ferris' sister to the would-be-intruder, the principal.

[Dogstar]

"Touch me and I yell rat!" --- Ferris to the snooty/snotty restaurant guy.

[TeriB19]

"What, you're still here? It's over, go home. Go, go home."
Ferris to audience after credits.

[Dogstar]

*That's it. I want out of this family!" -- Jeannie, after learning that Ferris gets to stay home from school.

[TeriB19]

"Do you have a kiss for Daddy?"--Ferris to (can't remember his girlfriend's name) upon picking her up from school to go to her "grandfather's funeral".

[hotforscott]

wasn't it sloane or simone or something like that. i can't really remember either.

[TeriB19]

That's it! Sloane Peterson. Thanks! That was bugging me.

[hotforscott]

No problem!

[hotforscott]

Has anyone seen master of disguise, it looks so great, but I wanted to see if anyone saw it.

i also thought enough was a good movie, sad, but she kicked some ass! i usually don't like j. lopez, but this was a good movie.

[TeriB19]

Master of Disguise, is that with Dana Carvey?

[Mulletman]

has anyone seen that new jerry sienfeld movie?

[DangerousDan85]

I haven't

Yeah, it is. But I'm not sure it would be that funny - I don't think he can carry a whole funny movie like Jim Carrey or Mike Myers can.

[TeriB19]

I'm not a real big Dana Carvey fan. I think you're right, I don't think he could carry a full length movie. I get bored watching him be 385 different people in a 10 minute interview.

[creedfan47a]

By the way, if you are wondering how my humour developed into the masterpiece it now is - it's from Jim Carrey movies (mainly Ace Ventura), a bit of Austin Powers and a lot of The Simpsons.

Thanks for your ideas. I wasn't too sure. Some movies look funny and then they totally suck.

[DangerousDan85]

I heard it got like 1 star, waynes world was funny though.

[DangerousDan85]

The Burbs is hilarious w/ Tom Hanks

[Mulletman]

airhead was fucking cool, thats about the only time i realy liked brendan fraiser

[DangerousDan85]

I liked The Mummy

[hotforscott]

What do you guys think about the Jay and Silent Bob movies? Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob strike back. I don't think I missed any, but I might have. I thought they were hilarious.

[Dogstar]

Clerks was the only one I saw out of your list, and I loved it. Hilarious.

[Mulletman]

the only jay and silent bob movie i have seen is dogma and i fucking HATED that movie.....

[hotforscott]

dogma was my least favorite. see the others. clerks is so funny. chasing amy has a lot of drama so you may not like it, but you have to see clerks.

[Mulletman]

ok, is that the cartoon?

[hotforscott]

no, it's not a cartoon.

[Mulletman]

cause i saw some cartoon thingy with both those bastards...

[krzycreedbabe]

HHAAHAHHA oh dude i think jay and silent bob are hilarious...
