Favorite movies of all time. (Page 3)

 I always wanted to be a break dancer.... I'm pretty fly for a white guy.

There is just too many... and type most certainly matters. Animal House is a classic, but it's no Braveheart. Both great, big difference.

Honestly, Terminator always left an impact on me. Not because of Arnold or action, but the story line. The Matrix for the same reason.

Blue Velvet has to win the prize for the most bizzare movie of all time. That one left a mark.

You want bizarre?  A Clockwork Orange certainly qualifies as "out there."  

..."naughty, naughty, naughty!"  

"fight's not with you, Holiday..................... I was just fooling about"  

Certainly a cult classic, but I never got into it. I think I watched it once without really paying attention. I'm not saying Blue Velevet was anything more either... but ya, wow. That one stayed with me a while.

"He put his disease in me"

"I beg to differ sir." 

X2.  Still not sure I have ever seen a movie better than Godfather & Part II is right up there as well.  Just spectacular writing & acting. 

Too many to name, but here are a few of my favorites...

Shawshank Redemption

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Schindler's List

American History X

Empire of the Sun

Fight Club

Pulp Fiction

Velvet Goldmine

Farewell my Concubine

Pan's Labrynth

Nice!!

All of mine have already been mentioned: 

Shawshank

American History X

Empire Strikes Back

Gladiator

Also partial to Halloween, a ground breaker for the horror genre.

Most quoted around our house is good old Wedding Crashers.  We must quote that at least daily.

"Feel th'm" (and you have to say it the WAY she says it)

"I find you!"

"Where's my little friend?"

"You motorboatin' son of a b*!"

Comedies:
Blazing Saddles
Trading Places
The Blues Brothers
Airplane
Beerfest
Zoolander
Just Friends

Many of those mentioned were great (especially Shawshank)...  Here're others: 

Slumdog Millionaire

The Piano

The Deer Hunter

You beat me to it. 

Classic. Looking forward to the new Evil Dead in a couple of months.

A lot of mine have already been mentioned especially:

Shawshank

Tombstone

Army of Darkness

Back to the Future

Star Wars

Ferris Bueller

Halloween

Wedding Crashers

I'm also a big fan of:

Stargate

Unforgiven (along with almost anything associated with Clint)

Alien movies

Most Tarantino movies

I will mention that I just don't get the appeal of Will Ferrell. I don't find most of his movies remotely funny (Anchorman, Taladega Nights, Step Brothers). I just don't understand the humor of the man-child act. I have to say though that I did like Old School, The Other Guys and Zoolander.

The one that came to mind is Return of the King from Lord of the Rings.  Such a powerful film on so many levels.

Some movies that really move/moved me are Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Schindler's List.

For comedy, Running Scared, My Cousin Vinny make me laugh.  Several more.

I'd have a hard time picking a favorite, but two that I remember watching as a kid were:

One flew over the Cuckoo's nest, and Jericho Mile.

I never saw these in the theater, but were movies I couldn't turn off on Sunday afternoon TV specials.  

Ahhhh, the good old days with only 3 channels.

So many favourites: 

Manon des Sources and Jean de Florette (all time favs), LOTR trilogy, Time Bandits, Life of Brian, Cinema Paradiso, Aliens, Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3, Blazing Saddles, Contact, Brazil, The Dish, A Fish Called Wanda, V for Vendetta, Princess Bride, Toy Story 1-3, Shrek 1-3, Shawn of the Dead, Paul, Wallace and Gromit movies, Being There (Peter Sellers last film, just amazing)....

Yes!  Can't believe I left it off my list.  One of the best movies ever!!!
