Favorite Movie of all time?

What is your favorite movie of all time?

Mine would have to be The Matrix, closely followed by Saving Private Ryan.

Hard to decide. I guess it depends on my mood. Right now, I would like to see <i>Apocolypse Now</i>, again. <i>The Hustler</i> is another favorite, but I have seen it several times. Believe it or not, I have not seen <i>The Matrix</i>, yet. <i>Saving Pvt. Ryan</i> was definitely a good one.

The Road Warrior was a great show, one of the greats. I would have to say A Perfect World is my all time favorite, followed by The Shawshank Redemption.

The Whole Star Wars Trilogy!!

Pilp fiction and Resorvoir dogs would have to be in my top ten. The others would be block busters like Terminator 2, Jurrasic Park, Blow. I'd also have to put in Austin powers and Waynes world.

<i>Bullet</i> for it's ultimate car chase.

Damn straight. I haven't heard of Leon, but I may have to add Lock Stock as my number 3. 2001: A Space Odyessey is pretty cool, but I watched it really really late at night and I think I missed part of it.

Southpark: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut shouldn't be included in any list of the best movies of all time, but I still laugh my head off every time I see it (must have seen it 50 times already).

Another computer wanted. Donations accepted. :^)

It's very realistic. Actually if you've seen old kungfu movies you'll probably appreciate that movie more.

Leon is an awesome movie too!! Go Queen Amidala!

Nope!
If we talk about fighting movies the best ones are from Bruce Lee!
"Enter the Dragon" is a master piece!The fight scenes are so well made it seems almost like a dance!

BTW, in the scene were Bruce is fighting some bearded man in the island in front of all the students, the punch he throws at that guy is so fast that even on slow motion in
a DVD you can hardly see is hand moving!

Fabulous!! :-)

Depends. The film I've watched the most is <b>Akira</b>, and probaly my fave.

But I also like most of the Jet Li Films.
Legend of Fon Sai Yuk 1 & 2
Fist of Lengend (Jet Li version and Bruce Lee version)
The Matrix
Mad Max
Bullit
And tonnes more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Anything with Cars of fighting really.




<font color=blue>Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!</font color=blue>

I'll do a top 10, I dont think anybody could fairly pick one.

1. Star Wars
2. Unforgiven (The last 30 mins of that movie are the best 30 mins in a movie ever)
3. Matrix
4. The Good the Bad the Ugly
5. Indiana Jones
6. Usual Suspects
7. Ninja Scroll
8. Crouching Tiger
9. The Mad Max Trilogy
10 Excalibur

All that flying stuff in Crouching Tiger is based on Chinese Mythology. It was said that their greatest of fighters could lighten their bodies. It's comparable to a story on Greek Mythology.



Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

I like the inclusion of Ninja Scroll, but I'm sure I would consider it an all time great movie. It's one of the best Animes though.

Top 5 Animes


Akira
Patlabor
Ninja Scroll
Ghost In the Shell
Armitage III

What are you talking about??? The ending was the best!!!

favorite movie/movies, excellent subject.
While the Matrix was not the greatest film ever made, it certainly ranks up there as one of the most memorable films i have ever seen. the special effects in that movie are second to none. Favorite sports movie (not comedy) is a tie between the natural and hoosiers. favorite epic and possibly argueably one of the finest acted movies, Gladiator. Russell Crowe delivered simply an unbeatable performance in that film. Best foreign film, Crouching Tiger Hidden Draggon, damn near best film ever made. Favorite action film the matrix, favorite fantasy/adventure the never ending story, favorite comedy dazed and confused, best spoof film naked gun. also pulp fiction is very close to the top

life is what happens while you are making other plans

Gladiator I agree was definately one of THE BEST acted movies ever.....

For Comedy my favourite movie is Tommy Boy..... damn

What's it about and why did it suck???

Oh come on, do you honestly think that the ending of the Matrix was the best possible? I mean from the point where Neo 'awakens' just goes downhill fast. The bullet trick was okay. The person-diving thing just made little to no sense. The whole He-Man pose while warping the immediate area around him was just corny. The hyper-speed fight was just boring and made me want to smack him for being such a show-off. But worst of the worst, that whole Super Man ending just really made me want to vomit for being so cheesy. Uff. It doesn't get much worse than that, in my opinion.

Which it all is of course, my opinion. You're perfectly within your rights to have found all of that exciting, new, and innovative.

I think a much better ending would have simply been had Neo stopped the bullets, then yelled out, "You're all just a pack of cards.", and made the agents all just fractal themselves to negative infinity. (Or some other really cool looking special effect.) And instead of flying away like a cheesy super-hero, he could have just waved his hand and opened a rift right in the matrix itself and walked right out without needing to find a phone to use to jack out and then you see him just wake up and pull himself off of the machine without needing anyone's help to jack-out.

In my opinion, an ending like that would have been a lot more creative and a lot less corny. And, it would have been a lot more consistant with the Alice in Wonderland motiff that was established early in the movie, so that it would leave people with a sense of continuity because they would be able to see the similarities between that story and The Matrix, and it would seem all the better written for it.

Don't get me wrong. It was a good movie. The ending just needed a little re-writing in my opinion. It was really a let down to me that kind of spoiled the feeling that I got for the rest of the movie. However, it was still a good movie. And I especially liked that sky-scraper explosion ripple effect.

Damn I forgot about Fist. That movie is actually pretty damn old. Like early 80's old. But it was groundbreaking anime. Not just the violence but the fluidity of the martial arts moves in there.

Some other good ones are:
The Castle of Cagliostro
Vampire Hunter D
Ghost in the Shell
Geist 1 and 2 were pretty good as well.

Ninja scroll was the first non-TV anime movie I ever watched. I dont know if it was the weed or the movie, but there were 4 of us in the room that were floored by that movie.

Blah, Blah Blahh, Blahh, blahh blah blahh, blah blah.

"What we got here, is failure to communitace,some men you just cant reach, So you get what had here last week, which is the way he wants it, well he gets it, I dont like it any more'n you men do"
Cool Hand luke, the best Paul Newman movie of all time, thats my favorite old movie, my favorite other movie is Armageddon

Armaggedon is a great action movie, but it's so unrealistic that I got kind of irritated. At least the other asteroid movie that came out right before it (can't remember) was believable...

Anything from Monty Phyton!!

"The Search for the Holy Grail" is a master piece!
