Dunno if my list is powerful, but they had alot of impact on me in a lot of different ways for sure. And lists could be severely broken down into genres for sure.

There are so many to add to the listā€¦could do a top 100 but lol what would be the purposeā€¦major movie junkyā€¦:wink:

Very quiet films indeed ! :smiley:

#8

lol, nice choices! I would say a powerful film is one that resonates with something deep down inside you. My list may be subject to change as there are sooo many great ones out there :smiley: . Panstar, I totally agree with you about not being able to order them, my list was just written as they came out in my head. I love them all too much (and many, many others that didnā€™t get put on the list) to be able to say which one I loved more than the others. I just wanted to know what all of you liked.

#9

Woah! Some fans of Naked Lunch! Awesome! Hopefully you guys like Robocop too. That was my first rated R movie that I saw theatrically. I think I was 3 at the time.

#10

Sorryā€¦ itā€™s BraZil not BraSilā€¦ 1985 with Robert DeNiro.

#11

Only one of my favorites, but my number one choice ā€¦ Blade Runner.

Concidering itā€™s age, it stands the test of time even with todays special effects. I think if you watch all the collage of things in this storyline, youā€™ll be amazed.

Word.

#12

the dirty dozen
dawn of the dead (the original)
night of the living dead
yojimbo
seven samurai
the great escape
enter the dragon
big trouble in little china
robocop
alien

thereā€™s 10 off the top of my headā€¦ in no particular order.

#13

Brazil !!! oh yes. Although I have watched the movie to many times it still holds a special place in my movie viewing eyes. I even watched the spanish dubbed version with my spanish girlfriend back in the day.

In no particular order.

Brazil
One Flew Over the Cuckooā€™s Nest
The Piano
The Hill (B&W with Sean Connery amongst many other great performances)
Twelve Monkeys
Leon

After going to google I can say yes : cuty funny movie :slight_smile:

Here ya go, I couldn't squeeze it to ten and I've chosen 22 out of about 80. My favorites are probably just contemporary films that are not life changing or anything like that, but I watched all of these at least 3 times and have all DVDs (except 'Dellamorte') and I am just being honest:) [note: the list is NOT from best to worst][+some quotes] 1. Snatch. (2000) ["I fail to recognise the correlation between "losing 10K", "hospitalising Gorgeous" and "a good deal"."] 2. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) ["The Way of the Samurai is found in death."] 3. Natural Born Killers (1994) ["You can't hide from your shadow."] 4. Fight Club (1999) [practically my biography]["With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels."] 5. Dellamorte Dellamore (1994) [don't ask me why I like it:)] 6. The Truman Show (1998)["Somebody help me, I'm being spontaneous!"] 7. Fire Walk with Me (1992)(including Twin Peaks tv series) 8. Le Fabuleux destin d'AmƩlie Poulain (2001) 9. Se7en (1995)["Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part."] 10. Pulp Fiction (1994) ["English motherf***** do you speak it?!"] 11. Unfaithful (2002) [I love Diane Lane] 12. American Beauty (1999) ["I want to look good naked!"] 13. Falling Down (1993) [I'm the bad guy...? How did that happen?"] 14. Not Another Teen Movie (2001) [note: it is NOT Scary Movie, OK?] 15. I, Robot (2004) [I used to read Isaac Asimov's books] 16. Spider-Man (2002) [Nuff said!][brought back my inner child] 17. Hellboy (2004) [it's just good.] 18. Sin City (2005) [I'm Miller's art fan] 19. The Incredibles (2004) [it's just good.] 20. Shaun of the Dead (2004) ["Who died and made you f*****g king of the zombies?"] 21. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) [Never drink from the dead."] 22. Saw I, II, III (2004)(2005)(2006) ["He doesn't want us to cut through our chains. He wants us to cut through our feet."] Some of the mentioned: Life is Beautiful (1997), 28 Days Later (2002), Alien (1979), TCMasscacre(s). I also like Bruce Lee films, Re-animator(s), Hellraiser(s), Helter Skelter (2004), "... of the Dead" :), zombie films... does anyone know how a movie is called where zombies comes out of an old TV? I wanted to buy it couple of years ago and couldn't remember the title. I enjoyed'El Laberinto del Fauno' (2006).


And here is something else:
My WORST movie list, it could be 20 times bigger but I narrowed it to popular
ones:
1. Van Helsing (2004) the storyā€¦ sigh
2. The Da Vinci Code (2006) the storyā€¦ sigh
3. The Passion of the Christ (2004) I donā€™t find anything in that movie.
4. Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
5. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) the storyā€¦ sigh
6. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006) recently watched, it made me sadā€¦
7. Cruel Intentions 2 (2000) and Cruel Intentions 3 (2004) waste of time
8. The Good Girl (2002)

I actually can't understand why some movies became 'top movies' I won't give examples here 'cos I don't want a revolution:)... well OK just one: The Lord of the Rings - I mean costumes, makeup, effects etc are great and the movie is alright but is it THAT good? When the first part ended one of my friends wanted to throw something to the screen because it ended in the middle of... nothing. But it's OK ā€˜cos I'm probably too young for that movie... or too old. ---Tomas [Feb-11-2007] I'll have to save this list to see what I like 10 years later.

  1. Blade Runner
  2. etcā€¦
#17

Worst movie ever: Flesh Gordon. After a New Years Party I came home rather plastered and switched on the TV in Germany at 2:30am and there was this Movie. FLESH GORDON. Nothing has even come close to that in the meantime. Not even Daytime TV.

Hey Tomas, that is harder I believe to narrow down than the best moviesā€¦mainly because there are alot more stinkers than diamonds out there imho.

I have to agree, with the Cruel Intentions sequelsā€¦loved the original, but the othersā€¦el vomitoā€¦lol

onto the baddies listā€¦

  1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 4 (so bad that they were sued by the actorsā€¦)

  2. Taledagga Nights with Will Farrellā€¦love the actor, but I saw this at the dollar movie theater and wanted my money back sooooooooo badā€¦

  3. Jaws 4, wasnā€™t scary, wasnā€™t fun, and they made, Bruce, the shark roar like a T-rex during the endā€¦once again, it boiled down to a bad story and script.

  4. The Hulk, they just totally screwed him upā€¦the graphics were very good to me, but they tried toooo hard to put tooooo much in the movie. My close friend David and I took a group of kids to see it. I fell asleep almost halfway thru it and woke my buddy up with my snoringā€¦loved the actors, and effects, but once again another movie with a pitiful story and scriptā€¦everyone knows how the Hulk was created, they didnā€™t need an origins, the fatherā€™s storyline was stupidā€¦etc etcā€¦imhoā€¦Though the foes graphics were good, the dogs he fought looked more like something that belonged in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles moviesā€¦

  5. Hostel, not too bad of a story, BUTā€¦by the time it starts it is over withā€¦and the whole thing was sooooooo over hyped and still is ā€¦the asian girl without the eyeballā€¦that is/was one of the worst effects I have ever seenā€¦no pun intendedā€¦they could have taken some vaseline, red closeup toothpaste and red and blue food coloring and made a HELLUVA more realistic effect than what they ended up with. I pray that the sequel will at least have addressed some of these issuesā€¦

  6. will have to get back to this and finish tonightā€¦several more on this list ā€¦just want to give it good thought firstā€¦

(to be continued)

lol Lemoā€¦yeah I saw that oneā€¦some crappy movies ya just hafta watchā€¦or else Lloyd Kaufman would be outta business with Troma Filmsā€¦(I have been reading his book on and off nowā€¦itā€™s a hootā€¦)

butā€¦

Have you seen Forbidden Zone? That has to be up close to itā€¦it has some recognizeable faces in itā€¦but like Flesh Gordonā€¦ya need to be in a giddy mood or an ā€œenhancedā€ mode to watch itā€¦lolā€¦the saving thing about the movie is that it makes nooooooooooooo attempt to even minutely take itself seriouslyā€¦much like FGā€¦and to think of itā€¦I may have seen FG2ā€¦save the cheerleaders or something like thatā€¦was on one of the premium channels ā€¦imagine thatā€¦:rolleyes:
