Favorite Movies

[thebigo]

I am about to head out to see The Princess Bride at a local theater. I have seen it many times before and it is a classic I will never lose interest in. One of my other favorite movies of all time is Mallrats. I have others but my ride is here so I will post later.

Post your favorite movies here and share any suggestions with all of us.

 

[Wasch_24]

Star Wars Saga and Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Honorable mention, Indiana Jones Trilogy and Back to the Furtue Trilogy.

 

[thebigo]

cheers on Indiana Jones. I have the box set...love it. And back to the future as a great classic.

 

[ClockworkDragonfly]

Fight Club, Clerks, The "of the Dead" films, the LotR trilogy, Princess Bride, RHPS, Requiem for a Dream, Say Anything, and pretty much any John Cusack 80s romantic comedy.

The Wedding singer, what a flashback. Watch it at least once a month.

Caddy Shack and Blazing Saddles. Got them both for my birthday last year. I remember seeing Blazing Saddles in the 70's. I didn't get the humor back then because I was too young. A movie like that wouldn't be released today.

Thanks for mentioning "Mallrats" and "Clerks" reminds me that I need to go out and get those and the rest of the ViewAskew movies. I've been watching a lot of TV DVD's recently. I need to bust out some of the old classics. "Blazing Saddles" may get called up first

How could I forget "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"? I just posted earlier tonight about it being my favorite movie ever!

I have several differnt categories for "Favorite movies."

Chick flicks:

While you were sleeping.
Sleepless in Seattle.

Guy movies:

Mad Max.
Harely Davidson and The Marlborro Man.
Tango and Cash.
The Godfather.
Tora!Tora!Tora!
PT 109.


Foreign films:

Godzilla, (the original).
Destroy all monsters.
Life is Beautiful.

Sci Fi:

Serenity.
Blade Runner.
Alien, (all except 'Alien III).
X-men.

Disaster Movies:
Poseiden Adventure, (the 70's version).
Airport 77.
Towering Inferno.
Dawn of the dead, ( the latest version).
Armegeddon, (this one fits in several categories).

I am pretty dissapointed by movies lately, I watched "Stealth" last week, and I sat there and said "Good Lord, this is a piece of shit." I watched "King Kong" with my GF, and guess what? The monkey died. We both agreed that the 70's version of King Kong was the better one. (I have a secret crush on Jessica Lang).

I keep waiting and waiting for new movies to come out, but lately Hollywood seems to be churning out bad films and re-makes.

 

[smokem94]

Tombstone
Dances with Wolves
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Quigley Down Under
Star Wars series
Comes a Horseman

 

[tripp]

All around movies it would be

Pulp Fiction...I know every line.
Cool Hand Luke is a must watch every time.


Cadillac Man for obvious reasons
Glen Gary Glen Ross is a must watch for any salesperson.

Training day and Man On Fire are awsome.

Cant go wrong with Bullitt.
