I'm not much of a movie guy, so my favorites would be limited to the various Star Wars movies (with Ep. 3 & 5 being my favorites), the Monty Python movies, and, of course, This Is Spinal Tap.

Justaguy, I'm glad you like Oliver Twist, but it was a movie that to this day still sends me into convulsions.

 

[Robert]

How could I forget Spinal Tap! I just got it on DVD - AWESOME, MAN!

3. Vanilla Sky
4. Ice Age
5. Concert For George

Tone.
I almost put "Contact" as well. Very awesome movie that had me pondering for weeks after I saw it.

 

[Robert]

I thought I'd mention www.imdb.com - The Internet Movie Database - just in case someone didn't know about it. It's a great resource for movie fans (I'm a movie geek!)

Another place to get an idea of what currently playing movie to go see - http://movies.go.com/reviews?view=all

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Spud,

I know what you mean. I love that movie. I love Jodie Foster. Some of it was filmed here in New Mexico at the VLA.

I also forgot to put "The Godfather" Saga down too as one of my favs. I love them all.

Robster - I am a HUGE MOVIE GEEK! Thats all I do at home is watch movies! Well and play guitar too.

[marnold]

I can't believe that I forgot Blazing Saddles. Sigh. Must be getting old.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Mel Brooks is a comic genius.

How about a top 10 list of the best movies you've seen?

I'll start off with something I'll probably change my mind about later:

Fanny och Alexander
[/LIST]

Thanks for this suggestion on a movie Robert. I enjoy watching all types.. Although Dubbed English and probably loses something... It was a pretty darn good and long movie... I will always remember Uncle's Fireworks at Christmas... lol...

 

[Robert]

Awesome, you found somewhere to rent Fanny & Alexander? It's a fantastic movie!

 

[Justaguyin_nc]

Yep...Netflix has it online... I use them alot... The Movie had a bit in it for everyone.. nice flick..

2) Being John Malkovitch.
3) This Is Spinal Tap.
4) Ghost Dog.
5) Waking Life.
6) Edward Scissorhands.
7) The Point. (Has anyone else seen this film, with the voice of Ringo Star?)

[r_a_smith3530]

Only ten? Well, I'll try.

1. Bullitt (Steve is my all-time favorite actor)

2. Easy Rider (This movie, living in Chicago, circa 1968, and the Stones' Beggar's Banquet album defined an era for me)

3. Patton (My kick *ss and take names war movie choice)

4. Risky Business (Who's the U-Boat Commander? - Priceless!!!)

5. Miracle on 34th Street (The original, in B&W, of course)

6. Nighthawks (The interplay between DaSilva and Wulfgar!)

7. With Honors (Joe Pesci was fantastic!)

8. The Blues Brothers (Belushi and Akroyd, need I say more? OK, music!)

9. The Birds/North by Northwest (Alfred could sure write 'em!)

10. The Shining (Here's Johnny!)


I could easily come up with about thirty or forty more. Narrowing it to ten was hard!
