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 Cuckoo’s Nest
The Piano
The Hill (B&W with Sean Connery amongst many other great performances)
Twelve Monkeys
Leon
Amelie from Montmartre
Life is Beautiful
The Mission
Shaun of the Dead
…and like a cosmic paradigm 
2001 A Space Odyssey 1968 by Stanley Kubrick & Sir Arthur C Clarke :eek: :eek: :eek:
@TVeyes “Amelie from Montmartre” is the same than “Amelie Poulain”? 
After going to google I can say yes : cuty funny movie
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 story… sigh
2. The Da Vinci Code (2006) the story… sigh
3. The Passion of the Christ (2004) I don’t find anything in that movie.
4. Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
5. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) the story… sigh
6. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006) recently watched, it made me sad…
7. Cruel Intentions 2 (2000) and Cruel Intentions 3 (2004) waste of time
8. The Good Girl (2002)
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 movies…mainly because there are alot more stinkers than diamonds out there imho.
I have to agree, with the Cruel Intentions sequels…loved the original, but the others…el vomito…lol
onto the baddies list…
Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 4 (so bad that they were sued by the actors…)
Taledagga Nights with Will Farrell…love the actor, but I saw this at the dollar movie theater and wanted my money back sooooooooo bad…
Jaws 4, wasn’t scary, wasn’t fun, and they made, Bruce, the shark roar like a T-rex during the end…once again, it boiled down to a bad story and script.
The Hulk, they just totally screwed him up…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 snoring…loved the actors, and effects, but once again another movie with a pitiful story and script…everyone knows how the Hulk was created, they didn’t need an origins, the father’s storyline was stupid…etc etc…imho…Though the foes graphics were good, the dogs he fought looked more like something that belonged in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies…
Hostel, not too bad of a story, BUT…by the time it starts it is over with…and the whole thing was sooooooo over hyped and still is …the asian girl without the eyeball…that is/was one of the worst effects I have ever seen…no pun intended…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 issues…
will have to get back to this and finish tonight…several more on this list …just want to give it good thought first…
(to be continued)
Ron… NOTHING absolutely nothing comes even close to:

Lemo
lol Lemo…yeah I saw that one…some crappy movies ya just hafta watch…or else Lloyd Kaufman would be outta business with Troma Films…(I have been reading his book on and off now…it’s a hoot…)
but…
Have you seen Forbidden Zone? That has to be up close to it…it has some recognizeable faces in it…but like Flesh Gordon…ya need to be in a giddy mood or an “enhanced” mode to watch it…lol…the saving thing about the movie is that it makes nooooooooooooo attempt to even minutely take itself seriously…much like FG…and to think of it…I may have seen FG2…save the cheerleaders or something like that…was on one of the premium channels …imagine that…:rolleyes:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080752/
ya gotta love the 80s
My 2 cents :
Best film : American Beauty.
Worst : Gingerdeadman.
Favourite, eh?
After giving it a real deal of thinking, I picked up one and only, unforgettable “Fight Club”. I love this movie! That is absolute No1 for me. I can watch it over and over again. The others are:
American Beauty
Lord of War
Requiem for a Dream
Collateral
Heat
Memento
Snatch
Last Samurai
Shipping News
and many, many others… Not so easy to browse through 450+ titles in Your video Library
The worst would be:
Doom Generation
Breakfast of Champions (I liked the book though)
Apocalypto (last time I had seen so much blood , it was in Kill Bill and then it was clearly a joke)
The Others (after You guessed a plot in 4 min of the movie it was no fun anymore)
Scary Movies (all of them)
Air Force One
Dog Soldiers
Cabin Fever
(continued)
…is a real freaky film : images, sound, story, music, mood…:eek:
David Lynch 1977 :
Maybe start section “Cult movie”
Pan’s Labyrinth. Wasn’t what I was expecting. Just terrifyingly beautiful.
Villian makes Hannibal Lechter look like a wimp.
Anything by David Lynch,(TV will never be the same after Twin Peaks, nothing has come around to beat it)Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton(except POA remake…what a stinker).
Shawshank Redemption (Read the short story!)
Everything Is Illuminated (Its Premium :p)
Irriversible (Wouldnt recommend everyone to watch, its shocking to the core)
Sin City (Cant wait for 300)
Donnie Darko (Cliche I know, but its great)
Old Boy (Korean Cinema at its best)
Bubba Ho-Tep (Bruce Campbell as Elvis battling a mummy in an old-age home…whats not to like!?!)
so much more
Worst…
All Roland Emmerich films…
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Two for the money
Three Amigos
Four Brothers
Five easy pieces
Six degrees of seperation
Seven faces of Dr. Lao
Eight legged freaks
Nine to five
Ten Commandments
Congratulations go to pride for being the first one to make me crack myself on this forum.
Heh.
Anyhow, my favourite film of all time is Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain. That boy has the Midas touch. I’ve seen each of his movies and every one of them “resonates” with me on a deep level, as it was put earlier in this thread. However, The Fountain left me numb for three days after I saw it. I was moved to tears in the cinema. The most beautiful, profound, and significant movie I have ever seen, bar none.
List time:
- Waking Life
If I’d seen Pan’s Labyrinth, I have no doubt it would be somewhere on this list. I’ve been looking forward to seeing it for a long time.
#1 favorite movie: Princess Mononoke
#2 The Matrix Trilogy
A few of my other favorites in no particular order and I’m sure I’m leaving out a bunch:
V for Vendetta
My Neighbor Totoro
The Wall
Pirates of the Caribbean (both have been fantastic adventures)
Mind Game (a very bizarre, but very genius and uplifting experimental anime film)
Shaun of the Dead (best zombie film ever)
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
American Beauty
Fight Club
Batman Begins
Jurassic Park
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Ju-On (the Japanese original which The Grudge made a mockery of)
Terminator 1 & 2
The Crow
Bowling for Columbine (a subject deeply interwoven with my childhood and perspective of my country)
The Harry Potter Series (best book to movie translation ever – Peter Jackson could learn some things)
Movie I could appreciate but never wanted to see again:
Clockwork Orange
My most hated movie:
Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy… a subject I’m so passionate about that it actually got me banned from cgtalk… I’ve calmed down a bit since then :)… those books were one of my brightest and dearest childhood memories, and Peter Jackson walked all over those memories with terrible disregard
I looked back and am very very proud to note that nobody mentioned LotR in their top lists when almost everybody else that I meet immediately mentions RotK in any ‘favorite movie’ discussion
The Forbidden Zone!!!
yes that is one of the most bizarre films ever… a very eccentric friend of mine introduced it to me about a year ago… it’s a great movie for crazy wierded out funness with friends you’re very relaxed around
I want to list a few anime series that have had a major influence on me, but I’m running out of time before work 
Until The End Of The World
