in no particular order:
casablanca
the good, the bad, and the ugly
star wars (the real star wars, made before evil aliens replaced lucas with a hollow plastic shell)
some like it hot
the wizard of oz |
|
|
| SY |
| Buster Keaton, eh? American fellow, if memory serves. |
|
|
| kingdaddy |
Impossible to pick just one, and the list changes from year to year (for most I think)
Dances With Wolves
Ben-Hur
Fight Club (after at least 3 viewings)
Mystery Science 3000 The Movie (Funniest movie and series of all time) |
|

why aren't we giving any space to "Seventh Seal"?
Citizen Kane brings up an interesting sidebar relative to American tastes -- we had a huge snowstorm in the midwest a few years ago and one of the planes stuck on the tarmac at Detroit had run out of movies to show. Someone had a VHS copy of "Citizen Kane", but when the stewardess began showing it people complained loudly that it was in black and white. I guess they wouldn't be able to show "Seven Samurai" or "Yojimbo" either.
And colorization is the bane of the kinophile's existence. |

Definitely "Fight Club"

Silence Of The Lambs
Blade Runner DC.
Akira
Ben Hur
Crying Freeman
The Goonies
(saw this film when i was a kid. I liked it alot and saw it many times at the cinema. It must have made an impression, because when people ask me; what do you think is the best movie you have seen. I think of The Goonies. I have looked for it at videostores but cant find it. I would probably get very disapointed if I see it again.) |
|
|
| jackinnj |
| that was Peter Seller's worst movie |

Zzzzzzzzz...... after 20 minutes.
I do not remember when it was. I would try it again as I like Stanley Kubrick's.
Most impressive one was CITIZEN KANE. I bought it (DVD) recently.

I second "Shawshank Redemption" as well.
"Trainspotting" was one of my favourites too. It gave the beginning to all those crazy british movies like "Snatch", "Lockstock and two smoking barrels", "Meanmachine" and recently "Formula 51"; really good humor.:cool: |
|
|
| kingdaddy |
I almost forgot my favorite director; Terry Giliam
12 Monkeys
Brazil
Eric the Viking
All strangly entertaining and witty. |

"Requiem for a Dream"

you only want to watch 1 time... very disturbing.
Pi was way cool too!
Aronofsky should be on my director list too!
Jennifer Connelly! beautiful and can act too ;)
