OT: Favorite Movie - Page 2

Chronon · #11 October 8th, 2003, 06:51 PM

I'd have to say Star Wars: A New Hope, for the same reasons that David mentioned. Except I was 13 at the time - perhaps an even better age for it.

Others in the top five:
Dead Poet's Society
Room with a View
Casablanca
Kelly's Heroes

While we're on the topic of bests...
Best Radio Show: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC)
Best Book: Dune
Best TV series: Star Trek TNG

The seven Samurai
Ran

One flew over the Cuckoo�s nest
Silence of the Lambs
Blade Runner
Alien (1)
Time Bandits
Animal House
Barbarella

reading over this list reminded me of alot of old movies that i enjoyed and respected a great deal, and based on the content of the list im supprised that you did not have Sparticas instead of Ben Hur. No matter, but seriously here.. Barbarella? are you kidding? I mean, I only saw the movie after enjoying music from the 80s band that took their name from one of the characters, and even as just a comic curiosity, it was painful to watch.

Lets see, what can I name thats not on here already?
Sanjuro
Heat
Maltese Falcon
Galipoli
Mad Max
Conan the Barbarian

I can't keep Favorites, not music or movies or anything it seems. Here are some movies I like a great deal that are on my mind right now; all very recent, whatever that might mean.

The Professional
True Romance
The Cell (just for the visuals: Beautiful!)
The Usual Suspects
Seven
Chasing Amy
The Emperor's New Grove (very funny, watched many times)
Falling Down (very much like a certain genre of video game)

I like almost any Danny Kaye movie.The Court Jester,Hans Christian Andersen,The Five pennies,The secret life of Walter Mitty,and Inspector General.Truly one of the best entertainers EVER

David E. Gervais · #16 October 15th, 2003, 03:25 PM

Aaah, the very elusive "Inspector General". I've been searching for that movie on VHS (or DVD) for years now. It's nowhere to be seen. I too am a fan of Danny Kaye. I sure hope that one day I'll find it, it's the only Danny Kaye movie I have not seen. and aparently it's one of his best.

Oh for woah is me

Cheers!

My favorite movie for sentimental purpose is Tora!Tora!Tora! This is the only movie that I remember my father taking me to by himself; just the two of us. I must have been around 8 or 9 when the movie came out, and I can't remember now if it was planned or just a spontaneous thing on his part. It's the only time he did something like that, and I'll always treasure that.

The other movie I like from my childhood is The Wizard of Oz. Since it came on TV every year, I just got hooked on it. Now my son likes it, so I plan on watching more of it in the future.

As far as my other Favorites, here's a short list:

Star Wars (it will alwasy been Star Wars to me, no matter what Lucas calls it)
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Where Eagles Dare
The Alamo (John Wayne Version, of course)
The Dirty Dozen
In Harm's Way
Blade Runner
Planet of the Apes (both Versions)
2001 & 2010
Escape From New York

There are a lot of others, but I got to go back to work.

Thanks for the heads up, I was aware of a few places Online that offered the VHS, the DVD edition must be pretty recent though.

Personally I don't make purchases Online, but it's at least good to hear that it is now available on DVD. I'll bug the local store to find a copy.

Cheers!
