I think Scarface .... Godfather running a close second.

DG

It's a Gift, or Arsenic & Old Lace.

RUN, LOLA, RUN.
I know now how Lola felt, that she could come back to try again and again to save her loved one.

This is a tough one but I would have to say Evil Dead 2.

This is a tough one...Godfather II has to be my fav.

But, "Reflections of Evil" takes the cake for Indi films. Most hate it, but I think it's pure genius.

The Balad of Cable Hogue.

"Pi" is my favorite super low budget film.

I'd have to say Blue Velvet. I can watch it over and over again and never tire of visiting that "strange world"...

Spaceballz!

Mentioned this one before, but it's the 'Thomas Crown Affair' with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

I don't have a single all time favorite movie. I have favorites by catagory though.

The Professional.

If animated short film counts, the entire Brothers Quay Collection.

I gotta say, Rene was damn sexy in that one ... and not just 'cuz she went topless.

DG

I'm imagining 1888's avatar with a green apple in front of his face.

Awesome! Sounds like a job for Rimmy, our resident avatar king!

DG

Digit's is pretty handy with photoshop also. Remember the cool lounge pictures he made?

Great idea!

Please ... if it happened over 4 hours ago, it's a lost memory.

DG

Magritte- La Grande Guerre: 1964

Add a goatee and it's a perfect match!

DG

What can I say?... Green muse inspires me! *sniff*

Wouldnt a big green sprig of wormwood be more appropriate? or a green bottle of Absinthe?

Hmm, my alltime favorite movie it 'The man who broke a 1000 chains' with 'Real Genius' running a close second. For some reason Val Kilmer impressed me years ago and has managed to do some great movies (a couple stinkers, but not because of him)

Our Boston Terrier loves Turner and Hooch.

SciFi: Blade Runner
Horror: Hellraiser 1+2
Adventure: Indiana Jones 1-3

What a T-1 thingy that is.

Anybody who has spent more than fifteen minutes with me already knows the answer, but for the rest of you:
Cool Hand Luke

Definately a favourite of mine, too.

- and then there is "The Wicker Man", "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and "The Cook, The Thief, his Wife and her Lover". I would have a really hard time choosing between those ...

I really like the way that these threads that ask for the ultimate of this or that turn into laundry lists of "this un and dat un and den dere's da udder one too".
No I don't.

Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well.

A Clockwork Orange.

Notice how concise my post was on this thread, Louchie? Not an easy thing to do for "Mr. Lister"...

Just one.....

Slap Shot.

A wordy bunch we are.

DG

Is that a polite way of saying
"full of shit"?

It's a seven way tie between The Thin Red Line (Mallick), Fargo (Coens), Leaving Las Vegas (Figgis), Amelie (Jeunet), A Clockwork Orange (Stan the man), The Elephant Man (Lynch), and Brazil (Gilliam).

Best animation does go to the Brothers Quay though, like Peeps said. That's some mind bending stuff.

Most disturbing film ever made goes to Irreversible. I'm not kidding. Makes Testuo Iron Man look like an episode of the Muppet Babies. I like it a lot but it is VERY tough to watch.

Why yes ... yes it is.

DG

amazing movie.

Here I am describing to my wife(who really doesn't like violent movies too much) why she shouldn't watch it:

"You know the curb scene in American History X? How about you put that on a 5 minute loop....and that would be the first scene."

Profondo Rosso (Deep Red, for the Americans), Dario Argento.

Just thinking about that makes me cringe .... eeeeekkkkk!

DG

Requiem for a Dream

Dude, too many words. My head hurts.

DG

Shit distill.
Who the fuck are you we'd read all that?

Interestingly enough, female critics in general thought Irreversible was a good film, it was the male critics who cried foul and said it should be banned and that it was offensive and all that. Every female I know who saw it said it was brutal, but kind of necessary in a way, because it's the only film out there that actually gets across to the audience exactly what it is like to be raped.

I know I already posted this in the old forum. One of my all-time favorite movies is Snake and Crane.

ohh, well watching deliverance might give a better example of rape fora man...that's probably the only way a lot of them would understand....
l
side note: did the female critics enjoy the club scene too? ;)

Real Genius?! That movie was awesome! With that Lazlow guy who lived in the closet (a real one, not metaphorical). How about better off dead? "Two dollars!"

I though John Cussack<sp> was great in those films .... then he had to go and get all serious and stuff.

DG

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet....

Donnie Darko!

Other perennial favorites include anything by Gilliam, Lynch, Fulci, and of course, my all-time favorite zombie movie --

Dawn of the Dead!!!

I agree on DOTD.

DD is getting some good play in the movie quotes section.

DG

I liked "Donnie Darko." Except the part where he dies in the end.
