What is your favorite movie of all-time?

[footballdan]

Mine just so happens to be a football movie. It's not really about football but it's my favorite. I'm talking about "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty. Anybody else seen it?

Sure and there is a coincidence about that movie and when it came out. If you remember, in the movie the then L.A. Rams played the Steelers in the Super Bowl. The season following the movie, the Rams played the Steelers. As for the movie itself, it was ok. But Warren Beatty as a QB? Na.

My favorite movie? Tough to say because I'm a movie fan so I don't really have a favorite of all time.

I thought Warren Beatty pulled it off pretty good. Jack Warden was great in that movie.

[Fiasco]

Fight Club

[Hideous_Cardinal_Fan]

I hate to pick just one, but if I have to I guess you can probably tell by my avatar it is "A Clockwork Orange."

[Mibrilane #56]

Well, well, welllllllllllll...

[Drachir]

My favorite is "The Jazz Singer". But among my favorites are "Rudy", "Braveheart", "Ironwill", & "Tommy Boy".

[Nah_The_Yum]

Top Gun. I have the entire script memorized. Probably have seen that movie at least 150 times. Probably more because whenever I am channel surfing and I see it on, the surfing stops.

[the wild cards]

Ran
Taxi Driver
The American Friend
Stalag 17
Cool Hand Luke
The Bicycle Thief
Discrete Charm Of The Bourgoisie

[azmikey]

How bout some more of them beans?

I reckon you boys has had enough!


Blazing Saddles all the way...

[Reckon]

I've seen it, it was pretty good. The original 1941 version is good too, "Here comes Mr. Jordan" with Claude Rains playing Mr. Jordan. Yeah, it really isn't about football, in the original Joe Pendleton is a boxer instead of a quarterback.

I reckon that my all-time favorite movie is The Sting.

[Cardiholic]

Born on the Fourth of July was good even though I can't stand that Weirdo Tom Cruise. Amadeous was great. If some of you youngsters haven't seen Amadeous you should rent it today. ( wow I said youngsters )

[Saturn5]

2001: A Space Odessey
Once Upon a Time in the West
A Clockwork Orange
Citizen Kane
Apocalypse Now

[Hideous_Cardinal_Fan]

You picked two Kubrick movies and of course my favorite Clockwork. Why stop there? I put Dr. Strangelove right up there and The Shining applies as well. Kubrick was the greatest director of our time.

:iagree:

[BigDinGlenDale]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail for comedy

Fight Club for movies that make you go...hmmmm....


And the Indiana Jones Trilogy for action

Hmm...more than one..oh well.

[Portland Card]

Casablanca

and/or

King Of Hearts

[azcat4]

I'd go with Scorsese for that honor myself, but Kubrick is an excellent choice too.

I can't narrow it down to one favorite movie, so a top 5 list will have to do.

Goodfellas, Fight Club, Casino, Pulp Fiction, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest -- in no particular order.

[spokanecardfan]

I would have to go with Braveheart . It has to be since they are chanting my last name in that movie.

[Saturn5]

I agree. If he's not the greatest, he's got to be in top 10.

Have you seen "Paths of Glory"? Another in the great films by Kubrick yet mostly overlooked. Very early in his career.

[FantasyBaller]

I'm a comedy fan, and thats basically all i watch, so a few of my favs are:

My Cousin Vinny
Liar Liar
Tommy Boy
40 Year old Virgin
Wedding Crashers
Caddyshack
National Lampoons Vacation series

as well as numerous others

[azsports]

Easy Rider with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson.

No, I haven't but I will get it now that you made me aware of it. I have over 2500 dvds. I am obviously a huge movie buff. Here is my top 20 in no particualr order although like I stated if I had to pick just one I think the greatest overall achievement in film is A Clockwork Orange. With no further adieu:


Hideous Cards Top 20


A Clockwork Orange

The Usual Suspects

Godfather 1 & 2 (count as one)

Goodfellas

The Shawshank Redemption

Star Wars & The Empire Strikes Back (count as one)

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Alien

Apocalypse Now

This is Spinal Tap

The Warriors

Taxi Driver

The Deer Hunter

Repo Man

Menace to Society

The Thing (remake)

American Beauty

Dr. Strangelove

Fargo

Pulp Fiction

[Saturn5]

Wow. that's a great list. and you have quite a DVD collection. Sheesh. I'm not sure if I've even watched 2500 movies much less bought them.

The original version of "The Thing" is a classic with pre-Gunsmoke's James Arness as the alien. Not as bloody as John Carpenter's version, but a very well done movie never the less. And produced (and some say directed) by Howard Hawks. His only foray into sci-fi.

Also recommend:

Forbidden Planet
Heat
Black Sunday (Italian horror directed by Mario Bava)
Zulu

Those are all great flicks. I love Mario Bava. I am a huge italian zombie gore fan. Horror is actually my specialty genre and italian zombie flicks are my fave. The greatest maestro of italian gore is the late Lucio Fulci. My favorite zombie flick is Zombie directed by the aforementioned. The scene with the slo-mo extra large splinter in the eye is the most grotesque thing ever put on film. A true classic! :lollollol:

[Saturn5]

I just bought the 3 disc version of Dario Argento's "Susperia"

The visual mood in that movie is like no other. It feels claustrophobic and strange. Argento explains a lot of things on the bonus disc, and makes you see the movie in a much different light.

Was dissappointed in the lack of an italian soundtrack. Never the less, I highly recommend it. And don't waste time on the single disc version.

Also just purchased the italian release of Black Sunday which has a bonus disc that is not included on the American release. The bonus disc is great as they interview Barbara Steele who is rarely seen much less heard these days. And a great rundown of Bava Films and his methodology. Another highly recommended dvd.

I have almost all of Argentos films and am a huge fan. I have the deluxe version of Suspiria, but not the three disc set. My favorite film of his is still Deep Red. My next fave is probably Tenebrae followed by Demons which falls more into my aforementioned category of zombie gore and less of the gaillo style that Argento is famous for. I have Black Sunday as well and is one of my faves. Like I stated Lucio Fulci is my fave italian director sheerly for the gore,. Argento is my next fave because he is the best technical director of the genre. I also love Bava. Have you heard of Umberto Lenzi? He is the sick creator and director of Canibal Ferox as well as Man from Deep River which are two of the greatest cannibal movies ever. If not, you must. Have you ever seen Black Christmas? It is the original slasher flick that inspired Halloween and was released several years previous. If you have not it is an absolute must see as well. I could go on for days here Saturn. We have a lot in common with Cards and the flicks. Nice to meet another true movie aficionada.

[Saturn5]

I'm thinking of getting Deep Red next or else Bava's Black Sabbath.

Of course you know that Argento's daughter is in Giallo's as well. He is one distinctly different kind of director. You're right, his technical skills are some of the best I've ever seen. Working with an extremely limited budget, (Bava too in that respect) The atmosphere that they create is so otherworldy. Very impressive especially considering the limited funds. The use of color and of blacks and whites by Bava sets such an inviting tone.
Most casual moviegoers would simply dismiss it as cheap old horror flicks. But if you watch for certain details and understand the purpose in their direction, it becomes so much more than the same old typical genre stuff.

I have heard of the legendary Canibal Ferox. I do want to get it on DVD, but there are so many choices as I know you well understand.

Have you seen "I spit on your grave"? Not italian Giallo, but very disturbing even in this day and age of over saturation on the disturb quotient. And most of the actors in that film were not actors at all, but are incredibly convincing anyway.

You're probably also aware that bava's "Bay of Blood" is almost an exact forerunner of "Friday the 13th" and Bava's "Planet of the Vampires" was nearly an exact forerunner of "Alien" That is discussed in great length on the bonus disc of the Italian "Black Sunday"

And finally have you seen "irreversible"? A french film that has some of the most disturbing footage I have ever witnessed on film. Again technically, it's uncanny how real it appears. If you do get it, you should watch the bonus footage first. It helps to deal with watching the rest of the movie.

Also, I saw "Black Christmas" at the theatre. That was memorable as well.

[Saturn5]

getting pretty far away from football discussions, but what the heck.

[1of3]

I havent got a favourite but here are a few in no particular order - JFK, Quadrophenia, The Untouchables, 12 Angry Men, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Pelican Brief, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Waterfront, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Asia Argento is one of the hottest women on earth. I am in love with her. Once I get a dvd recorder I can record you some stuff like the Cannibal Ferox I have which is the defintitve version. I believe it is on Shriek Show. I am at work right now so I obviously can't look at the label. I love I Spit on you Grave. I also like The Last House on the Left which is very similar, also check out The House on the Edge of the Park, and Mothers Day for more classic exploitation torture and raape. I even have an extremely rare original theatrical poster for I spit on Your Grave. I have original posters for a lot of the movies we have named so far. A Clockwork is my rarest with the orginal X rating on it from 1971. It is valued around $500. The Evil Dead poster is probably the next most valuable as well as The Warriors. Yes, I am well aware of Bava's influence on the films mentioned. I have not seen Irreversible, but now that you have mentioned it I will check it out. Did you see the french movie High Tension last year? The first truly distrubing gore fest in recent years. That is already an instant classic. Talk to you again in a few.

[Saturn5]

all classics. Quadraphenia is very under rated. Didn't do so well at the box office in America, but it has gained in status since it was released. I think the "sting factor" had something to do with it's resurgence.

I'll have to check out "High Tension" it's good to see something somewhat original being released. I can't believe someone has done a remake of "the Wicker Man" It's coming out in September, and I will have a very hard time believing it could be anywhere near as good as the original. Britt Ekland just cannot be outdone.

As I understand, the remake (Wicker Man) has actually been complete for a while now. I have heard nothing but good about it thus far. I hope it lives up to the hype. To get away from the really obscure gore and horror which probably freaks a lot of the not so hardcore out, let's talk about some other obscure great movies.

p.s. We will talk later about more gore and extreme horror.

Here are ten other great movies I couldn't put on my top 20. Here it goes.


1. Blade Runner (should have actually been on my top 20 list)

2. Rumble Fish

3. Watership Down

4. Sid and Nancy

5. Bar Fly

6. River's Edge

7. American History X

8. Near Dark (best vampire movie ever made)

9. Drugstore Cowboy

10. Carlitos's Way

What do you think about those?

[captjack]

oh for hells sake.....ok.....i dont know if i could pick just one......but, there is definately one nobody has mentioned......it might not be what it was at the time, but for anybody that saw it when it first came out, how could you not have it on your list??????





JAWS

[captjack]

bad boys (sean penn)

shawshank redemption

the good, the bad, and the ugly (doesnt matter, i'll kill em all)

All very good ones. Blade Runner is being re-released in a special DVD package (I think it's early next year) Definitive versions, remastered with loads and loads of extras. Sid and Nancy is definitely a classic. The pistols documentary (the filth and the fury) is very good too. I saw that one at the theatre.

I have a few unsung classics myself:

On Borrowed Time (Lionel Barrymore vehicle that is still not out on DVD)

Grand Prix (just released on DVD)

Eraserhead

Around the World in Eighty Days (original)

Lost Horizon

Blue Velvet

Solaris (russian version) Criterion DVD

Planeta Bur (russian sci-fi classic)

The Mysterians (cheap but very entertaining)

The Fearless Vampire Killers

El Topo

Walkabout Criterion DVD

For all Mankind (documentary about moon missions) music by Brian Eno is breathtaking. Available on Criterion DVD!

Battle of Britian

Zabriskie Point

I don't know if you know this or not but they are going to be releasing the new version of Blade Runner in the theatre first. I know you won't miss that. That is a very good list too. Eraserhead is awesome! I have a t-shirt for it that is probably 15 years old. Blue Velvet is my favorite Lynch film and honestly could have made the top 20 as well just like so many others. I also really like Mullholland Drive. Are you a Cohen brother fan? I am. My fave is probably Raising Arizona and Fargo, but I like most all of them including Blood Simple and Barton Fink. That is a strange movie! The Man Who Wasn't There is really good with too Bill Bob. It came out more independently a few years ago and is black and white. You should see that one if you haven't. Of course I love The Big Lebowski. I consider it a great movie even though it is a comedy. It is still very artistic and a well made film. I feel the same way about comedies like Rushmore and Election. Those are both great movies which happen to be comedies. A rare breed. Oh, also Bullets Over Broadway qualifies as well.

[Saturn5]

Yeah, I had raising arizona on my unsung list but the message board booted me off cause I didn't edit within 15 min (non-sensical rule)

Another of the cohen brothers that may actually be their best is "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" Absolutely funny yet very well done with great atmosphere.

Agreed. The only movie of theirs that I really do not like is The Lady Killers which I find almost repulsively bad.

[Saturn5]

Never saw it, but loved the original with Alec Guiness. He has done so many great ones. Especially early in his career.

man in the white suit is an absolute and under-rated classic.

The Cohen brothers owe quite a bit to ealing studios and those dry Alec Guiness comedies.

I'm pretty sure you would loathe the remake like I do. Don't waste your time. Are you a Peter Jackson fan? I have been since Dead Alive was first released, which at the time was more or less an update and homage to the masterpiece The Evil Dead. Anyway, have you seen his first movie Bad Taste? It is awesome too. It was hard for me to believe at first that he became so big and that he was given the reigns of an entire major studio with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Pretty amazing. Also amazing was to see director Sam Raimi go from The Evil Dead to Spiderman fame. I was not as surprised with him though. His directing was so impressive for the shoestring budget he had with that film he seemed destined for greatness.

[Saturn5]

I haven't seen too many of his movies. I did see King Kong, and quite honestly I was not too thrilled with it. Parts of it were pretty decent. Other parts, namely the silly dance that the lead female character does for Kong and the completely silly brontasaurus stampede which was physics run amok.

I would like to see some of his older films though, and that should be more of a indicator of his talent.

I did not like King Kong either. I respect Lord of the Rings. I think it is an amazing achievemnt, but they are all too long and kind of blend together to me. You would love Bad Taste and primarily Dead Alive which is THE goriest well made movie ever. Like I mentioned before it is almost an homage to the great Evil Dead series. It came out in 1993 and took it to a whole other level. It is slapstick gore to the extreme. It is a very very funny movie.

[kjbad]

I would love to have an answer to this, but after working in a video store all through college and havving to watch endless amounts of films in order to recommend to our customers what they might like, I have been rendered immune to the effects of movies on my nervous system. Almost like eating too many Pringles as a kid and now cringing at the very sight of them.

So i guess that just means... :sign:

Neither one of those sound familar, so I'll have to check them out.
There is a fairly gory, bizarre movie from the 70's called El topo. have you seen that one. Extremely rare, and it has never been released in the US on DVD. It's a very strange, western with tons of symbolism and very errie and dreamlike images. The director Alejandro Jodorowsky didn't make very many films and that's the only one of his I've ever seen, but they're all supposed to be very image oriented, which is always the kind of movies I gravitate to.

[Saturn5]

Here is a description of El Topo:

El Topo is a fascinating, violence-filled allegorical western about the title character's search for meaning in his life. The screen is constantly filled with dazzling panoramas of assorted grotesqueries. Using elements of Eastern fables, Catholic symbolism and others, Jodorowsky achieves a kind of comic-strip mythology. Upon its first viewing the film might seem bewildering because the narrative is overlaid with a clutter of symbols, thoughts, and ideas. Each time you watch El Topo though, you will notice more and more details you didn't pick up the first time that makes each viewing a new, different, and mind-blowing experience.

It sounds like it's right up my alley. I will try to locate it and purchase it tonight. I forgot to mention to you that my favorite Bava film is Kill Baby Kill. Do you like the Herschell Gordon Lewis drive in splatter movies? Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, and Gore Gore Girls are my faves of his. Bloodsucking Freaks is a pretty bizarre movie that fits perfectly into that genre as well.

[Tangodnzr]

Hmmmm...

There seems to be a decided lack of balance here...


soo....


Off the top of my head some of MY favorities:

Body Heat - (basically the debuts for Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, and Mickey Rourke. This one I never get tired of rewatching.

Bridges of Madison County - Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep

The Scent of a Woman - Al Pacino, ..another I never tire of watching.

The Hi-Lo Country - Woody Harrelson, Billy Crudup, Patricia Arquette.

Silver Streak - simply a classic. spawned the Gene Wilder-Richard Pryor combo followups.

The Deer Hunter - Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep, John Savage....as a Viet Nam Vet, this one affected me most. Although Platoon and Full Metal Jacket did too.

The Music Man, --original with Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Ron Howard. -"We got trouble right here in River City folks".... If you don't like this one, there's no hope for you.
(although the remake with Matthew Broderick wasn't bad, it still is not the same as the original).

Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelley, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Cyd Charisse ...being a professional dancer,myself, Kelly surpassed even Fred Astaire, in my book. and this was one of his bet. Another great musical.

I also love just about any Robert Deniro or Al Pacino film.
Deniro is in a class by himself IMO....somewhat like Marlon Brando....so versatile and skilled an actor. Pacino not far behind, but lacking a little of Deniro's versatility.

Grumpy old Men , (& Grumpier Old Men) Walter Mattau, Jack Lemmon, Ann-Margaret, Burgess Meredith, Daryl Hannah (Sophia Loren in Grumpier)

Bull Durham - Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon
Stealing Home - Mark Harmon, Jodie Foster

The Shawshank Redemption
Pavement
Blazing Saddles
Casablanca
Easy Rider
The Graduate
Midnight Cowboy
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Rebel Without a Cause
Top Hat
The Wizard of Oz
Fargo

and finally some of my other favorite dancing movies:

Shall We Dance - I liked the original 1996 Japanese version best, but the remake with Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon isn't bad either.

Dance with me - Vanessa Williams, Chayanne, Kris Kristofferson. Probably the most 'realistic' of the dance movies. Actual top pro's including Rick Valenzuela (Vanessa's partner in the comp), appear in the show.

Tango Bar...and Argentine film, out of print now (I have a copy) with Roul Julia. If you want to know something about tango...this one should do it.

Assassination Tango... Robert Duvall, Ruben Blades, Kathy Baker...and yes he really does know and dance the dance in real life

No lack of balance. We are just discussing niche stuff amongst ourselves. If you look at all the previous posts you will see just a sample of how varied my tastes are. Three of your movies are on my top 20. Coincidence? I think not. :Cool:

[Saturn5]

It sounds like it's right up my alley. I will try to locate it and purchase it tonight. I forgot to mention to you that my favorite Bava film is Kill Baby Kill. Do you like the Herschell Gordon Lewis drive in splatter movies? Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, and Gore Gore Girls are my faves of his. Bloodsucking Freaks is a pretty bizarre movie that fits perfectly into that genre as well.

I have not seen all of bava's films yet, but all of them I have seen are among the very best of the horror genre. Kill baby kill is not one I've seen yet. Black Sunday would have to be my favorite, though the whip and the body is not far behind.

I do like the drive-in splatter, though I've not seen alot of Hershell Gordon Lewis, though I know of his movies. PBS did a special on drive-in's recently and his movies were of course mentioned frequently.

Since you like Clockwork Orange so much and Kubrick films, then you probably have already recognized the repeating motifs in all his films. That is one thing that makes them all so familar and he does it so subtlety.

The arch in Full Metal Jacket recalls the circular walkway in 2001.

The moloko bar in clockwork orange recalls the 2001 space station small talk.

Right up to eyes wide shut small talk scene in the ballroom recalls the hotel bar conversation in the shining.

And of course his use of classical music for all kinds of effect like the william tell overture in clockwork orange is absolutely hilarious.

There are dozens of others. There's a really good photography book out that is of pictures taken by Kubrick's wife. Who also happened to play the german girl in the heartbreaking pub scene at the very end of paths of glory.

Looking for things like that makes watching films that much more enjoyable.

I think Shawshank Redemption tops many people's lists. That is one great movie. Ironic that it kind of flopped at the box office and then became a cult favorite on cable and video.

[EuroCard]

One of the movies that etched itself on my subconcious was Tampopo, Japanese, about the search for the perfect noodle. It contained the most erotic scene I have ever seen in any movie, but apart from that it was an intense journey through gourmet extravaganza, and noodles too of course. Another favourite is Blood in Blood Out.

I think that to compile a top 20 would take me months, this will be an interesting thread to keep an eye on for the ideas alone!

[Nah_The_Yum]

You would love Dead Alive which is THE goriest well made movie ever. Like I mentioned before it is almost an homage to the great Evil Dead series. It came out in 1993 and took it to a whole other level. It is slapstick gore to the extreme. It is a very very funny movie.

"I kick *** for the Lord!"

That movie was great. It did take that genre to a different level. If you decide to rent it, make sure you get the unrated version. The R rated one doesn't do it justice.

[Nah_The_Yum]

I wouldn't say that it was my favorite movie but the script I felt was amazing.

Dee Snider's Strangeland.

Dee was a perfect fit for Captain Howdy.

[Hideous_Cardinal_Fan]

As is the case with so many great movies. The really good ones tend to go over peoples heads when they first come out. Truly great movies stand the test of time and then are recognized later because of that. Blade Runner and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate are a couple of other movies that pretty much flopped and are now revered as classics. On the other hand a lot of movies that seem great when they first come out just don't stand the test of time at all. That is the majority of them. BTW, I got my copy of El Topo on the way via eBay. I got it for $9 w/shipping. The description sounds awesome. I can't wait to see a gory western a la Lucio Fulci style. Have you seen The Toxic Avenger? I love that movie. It is a hideous classic. I also wanted to run a few more italian gore fests by you. Have you heard of the legendary director Joe Damato? My two favorites of his are the classic Anthropophagous and the equally sick Beyond the Darkness. Talk to you soon.

[Saturn5]

Yes, I've seen some Joe Demato.

He was interviewed extensively on the Susperia special edition dvd. And I believe he also contibuted to the Italian Black Sunday dvd as well.

I've seen parts of toxic avenger on cable. Pretty good stuff. You must really like Texas Chainsaw massacre too. That one has to be the most infamous of them all, though not the goriest. The music and lighting in that one freaks a lot of people out. Very well done on an extremely low budget.

I've been watching "Werewolf of London" lately. It's from the 1930's but has some very interesting parts in it. The scientist has a video camera outside his lab that is probably one of the most convincing effects I've seen from that era. The transformation scenes are pretty good too, with a fair bit of dry humor as well. Definitely recommended.

Yes. Chainsaw is one of my all time favorites. That is another of my most prized original theatre posters I have in my collection, a very rare bird indeed. Have you seen the orignal Hills Have Eyes? That is great also. I have not seen the recent remake and probably will not even bother. These remakes of recent classics are a joke. I mean the movies aren't even 30 years old and they are classics that shouldn't be remade anyway, really pisses me off. I have not seen Werewolf of London before but I will take your word on it and check it out. Of course I could have and probably should have included An America Werewolf on my top 20, just so many movies. I thought of another one that deserves to be that I forgot at that moment, Young Frankenstein. I think it definitely deserves to be on that list too. Anyhoo, talk to you in a bit.

[Saturn5]

Just started watching the special edition DVD of Grand Prix.

Wow, it is loaded with extras. Quite a bit of on-location footage of John Frankenheimer and lots of real drivers interviewed. The effects used were jaw dropping. Such as the energy cannon that would explode and cause ta car to crash in a somewhat controlled fashion. Amazing.

If you have a love for auto racing, this is arguably the best racing film ever. No CGI, just the real thing with cameras attached to cars as they race. Very well done montages and split screen effects. Director John Frankenheimer used actors for the main parts but also integrated real drivers into the story, Some of whom died not long after the movie was released.

Those still living: Dan Gueney, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Bruce McClaren and others are interviewed in the additional features and certainly add a realism that is rare in these kind of films. Open wheeled racing at it's finest hour. It also contains a detailed description of Brands Hatch race course that is almost beyond words. If you enjoy nascar racing that only travel in an oval, then this movie may not appeal to you. But if you enjoy the twisting turns and dynamic and challenging race courses of Formula 1 racing then you'll think you've died and gone to heaven.

This was filmed right at the turning point in racing, as it had not yet become overly commercialized and industy driven. This was the very end of racers who sometimes built their own cars and raced more for the glory than the money.

This is a great film based on it's cinematography alone. If you're a fan of racing, then it is of course so much more.

Excellent DVD and highly recommended.

Requiem for a Dream

Fairly depressing but well-acted.

[Hideous_Cardinal_Fan]

Requiem was awesome and is a classic. It is very dark and depressing and is certainly a major head trip movie. Hey Saturn. What do you think of David Cronenberg? I was least impressed with his latest A History of Violence, but have always been a big fan. I love his early work with Shivers, The Brood and my favorite Videodrome. Let me know.

p.s. I am still waiting on my copy of El Topo to arrive.

[Saturn5]

Cronenburg is a very good director.

Ever seen "Crash"? That's one of my favorites. he certainly can get under your skin. But "The Fly" was certainly not nearly as good as the original.

Videodrome is one of the more creative movies I've seen though. Nothing else really like it.

[Hideous_Cardinal_Fan]

Yeah, Videodrome rules. His opus as far as I am concerned. Scanners is good, but overrated to say the least. Crash was very good. The Fly was not nearly as good as the original, but was still **** good for its time. The one movie he made that I really didn't care for was Boxing Helena. It was just too much. It was almost Cronenberg making a charicature of himself on a certain level. What's you favorite Ridley Scott film? Mine is Alien.

[Saturn5]

Alien no doubt was a trend setter and very groundbreaking. But I have to go with Blade Runner. It has such magnificent atmosphere. In a way, Harrison Ford takes away from the greatness of the movie. He wouldn't have been my choice for the part, but I suppose ridley felt he needed some star power. As it turned out, Blade Runner flopped at the box office.
Needless to say, Rutger Hauer was never better and Sean Young played her part to near perfection. She should have at least been nominated for an academy award for that part. Did you know she attempted to get an audition for the catwoman part in batman returns, by forcing her way into the studio chiefs office wearing her own catwoman outfit and laying across the desk.

Legend is one that I think is under-rated. Yes Tom Cruise is terrible, but once again the atmosphere and ambiance ridley is able to achieve is pretty cool.

I thought Dead Ringers was interesting.
Also, I enjoyed Cronenberg's acting in Nightbreed.

I agree. Blade Runner is really a tie. I just have to go with Alien because it it so groundbreaking horror and you know my fetish for horror. Blade Runner is equal though and there is so much going on there, very deep movie to say the least. It should be coming out in theatres soon with totally updated technology and the true directors cut with even more than the normal directors cut. I rarely go the the movies but I will definitely be going to see that. How could I not. Have you seen City of God? One of the most brilliant films in years capturing the slums of Rio De Janeiro from what seems to be a ducumentary approach. The cinematography in that film is bar none and the style of it is amazing. I highly recommend if you have not see and I am sure you will love it. I agree on Legend. I have the deluxe version and is one of my fantasy classics. Oh, I gotta ask. Are you a Phantasm fan? This is on of my favorite most original movies movies of all time. It is what I call creepy to the max. But what is so ingenious about it is the fact that it is actually a combination of sc-fi horror like nothing ever created before. Once again if you have not seen it I really recommend that you do along with the previously mentiond City of God. Talk to you later homie. Take care. HCF

[Lomax05]

There's a flick called Jesus' Son that was pretty interesting. Denis Leary, Dennis Hopper and Jack Black are great in supporting roles.

[Oaken1]

It cracks me up to see you guys referring to movies I watched on their original runs as classics, LOL.
Phantasm rocks, it was better however on LSD.(The sequel was not so good IMO)
The Hills Have Eyes was nearly a bed wetter for a youngster back then and the original Chainsaw Massacre kept me awake for weeks. I was a fan of the original Scanners but the string of sequels that followed were weak for the most part. I remember the Incredible Melting Man being a strange one that I enjoyed too. Fangoria Magazine did a huge spread on that movie and my buddies and I spent hours trying to duplicate the makeup.


But right now I would have to say my all time favorite movie at the moment is Armageddon. Great affects, decent acting, fair writing, patriotism, sacrifice, family, fatherhood and Liv Tyler all in one movie. I always get choked up when Harry takes it for the team.

Close second would be Hudson Hawk, what does a guy gotta do to get a cappuccino?

Cool Oaken. It's good to see you have some good movie taste as well. What do you mean it cracks you up to see us(primarily me I'm sure)referring to movies as classics that you saw in their first run? I saw them all in their first runs as well. Why does that mean that they are not now classics. They are definitiley classics of their genre. I'm just not quite sure what you meant by that statement.

p.s. Th Scanner sequels pretty much blow but I do want to see the new A Scanner Darkley in theatres now. Phantasm 2 was pretty good, but 3 was atrocious. :wink:

Phantasm is certainly a classic and one of a kind original. I remember seeing the previews for it. One of the best preview trailers I had ever seen.

I have not seen city of God yet, but will definitely look for it to buy on DVD. I have heard it was spectacular cinematography.

One of the most beautifully photographed films of all time has to be Lawrence of Arabia. I need to get that on DVD and am currently looking to get the deluxe package.

Also have you ever seen Crumb? A absolute great documentary that you will never forget.

I have heard that "Tristram Shandy" is one of the top unsung films of the year and one that I am definitely going to get in the next few weeks when it comes out on DVD. It's a movie makers movie dealing with a film within a film and a british comedy to boot.

And speaking of movie makers movie. Watch "The Player" with Tim Robbins. it has an approximately 20 minute tracking shot at the beginning of the movie with no cuts. It seems to go on forever and seems impossible to have been accomplished without any CGI or cuts. "Paths of Glory" has a couple of those too as Kubrick loved long extended tracking shots.

Just that I am getting old, LOL. The only real "Classics" I remember when I was a youngster were the old Legosi, Langela and Cushing films. Not to mention of course the original "Night of the Living Dead" That film contains the single most disturbing scene I can remember. The scene where the young girl is eating her fathers bicep, in black & white that is just plain freaky. I guess maybe the kid eating his mom in Pet semetary is pretty close too. Maybe I just have a weak spot for kids eating their parents?LOL.

[BERTRAND #92]

Last of the Mohicans followed by In the Name of the Father and Gangs of New York.

[Saturn5]

Daniel Day Lewis fan huh?

[BERTRAND #92]

Daniel Day Lewis fan huh?

If your asking me ? I have no idea who that is. Just liked the movies. I don't memorize actors or actresses. I could care less who they are as long as the movie and the acting is good.

[Saturn5]

coincidentally, he was the headline star in all three. A very good actor by the way.

[BERTRAND #92]

coincidentally, he was the headline star in all three. A very good actor by the way.

I just Googled his name and I remember him in In the name of the father , but just realized he was in Gangs of New York as well . Really don't remember him in Last of the Mohicans though. Can't think of what his character was.

But yeah,, he is a good actor. Just love the story line of in the name of the father. But the other two were a combination of direction as well as acting. Very well done I thought. Not really a movie buff though so I guess I should have stayed off this thread.

[Saturn5]

He is indeed a very good actor.

He plays the main character in last of the mohicans; "Hawkeye"

He also plays the main character in both Name of the Father and Gangs of New York

[Saturn5]

Has anyone bought the latest DVD remastered expaded edition of the "The Searchers"?

Wow, just got the Jogn Ford/John Wayne box set and so far I would rate it four stars. The edition of the Searchers is outstanding. For anyone who really enjoys the exploration of movie making, this DVD is essential.

[the bowtie]

Best movies in my opinion...Godfather II, Goodfella's, Godfather I...

[Reckon]

Mine just so happens to be a football movie. It's not really about football but it's my favorite. I'm talking about "Heaven Can Wait" with Warren Beatty. Anybody else seen it?

Saw it. I'm a fan of Turner Classic Movies and so I've also seen the original many times, the 1941 version which was titled "Here Comes Mr. Jordan". You're right about it not being about football. In the original the athlete taken out of his body too soon was a boxer.

All three of them were great!
I remember watching them at only a few years of age and just thinking how cool the hoverboards and DeLoreans were.

great idea for a trilogy..

but a nightmare for time travel buffs (me)

[Halef]

I'm not sure if I previously posted on this thread, but I recently watched a German movie from 1931 by Fritz Lang which was just great direction-wise and so far ahead of its time.
So if anyone wants to see a good, old German movie you have to watch M - Ein Stadt sucht einen Mörder (M - Murderers among us) by Fritz Lang.
As this is an all-time thread I would pick this as my favorite movie now.

[tetters]

Waynes World !

Edit: Word filter won't let me post the name of the movie.
