There's a ton. I'm a semi movie snob.

[Back]

Ok Jenisi, you're cute as heck, but I can tell we wouldn't get along... mentally.


Favs
1. Zardoz
2. Blade Runner
3. Under Cover Brother

Dis
1. Moulin Rouge
and I can't list the rest because I don't usually remember the titles of them.

[StrayRogue]

The Crow
Forest Gump
Heat

[imported_Kranar]

Top Three:
Dark City
American Beauty
Magnolia

Dislikes:
I have way too many.
Cheap horror movies.
Most teen comedies.

[DCSL]

I'm pretty easy to please in the movie department. My favorite movies are the movies that make me laugh or comfort me by taking my mind of whatever in real life by whatever means.

Loves!:
1. Clue
2. Desperado
3. Tie between any Jet Li movie (because he's the sexiest little scarred Chinese man in the world) and Brotherhood of the Wolf.

Hates!:
I couldn't organize these in any kind of order because I just hated them so fucking much... so... in no particular order!
Van Wilder
Pulp Fiction (flame away, Tarantino-lovers!!)
Crossroads (What.. the.. fuck..)
Blade II (I love comic books. I usually love comic book movies... I liked Blade. But Blade II was ASS.)
The Scorpion King (I've come for the woman... and your head!)
Crash (What sick FUCK thought this up?!)

[Back]

3. Tie between any Jet Li movie (because he's the sexiest little scarred Chinese man in the world) and Brotherhood of the Wolf.

About to settle into Brotherhood (fucking awesome flick) if my roomate dosen't want to drive to our local.

And Blade II and Crash were awesome. Bow down daisy duke.

[Edaarin]

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Scarface
3. Requiem for a Dream

1. Any movie that has a plot even remotely similar to 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' More evidence that all women are clearly completely, utterly insane. Hey, it's another desperate woman in her 30s who'll do anything to get married! Ugh. I have never gone to a movie like that of my own free will.
2. Finding Forrester (it's only redeeming factor was any scene with Busta Rhymes and the last scene where Sean Connery shouts, 'You the man now, dawg!' There. I just saved you two long, pointless hours).
3. Anything directed by Quentin Tarantino

[Edited on 9-26-2003 by Edaarin]

Shawshank rules.

I can't believe someone else has seen Zardoz.

[AnticorRifling]

Edaarin has good taste in flicks.

1. Jersey series (Dogma, Chasing Amy, Mall Rats, etc. I got em all)
2. Bicentenial Man ( I don't care I love that movie)
3. Godfather (all of them though III was lacking)

Old school a close 4, with Dark Crystal right behind it that movie rocked.

I don't hate many movies, I have a really good imagination so I tend to get into movies. Horror flicks kick ass and I'll be the 220 pound guy that jumps and holds on to the 100 pound wifey in the theatre (laugh all you like it's true) what can I say I get into good flicks.

[StrayRogue]

Kevin Smith movies are well up there too. Though Clerks rules the roost.

[Drew2]

Yes
1. Matrix (all)
2. X2
3. Eh.. kind of a mix of the rest of my favorites. Spiderman, Bruce Almighty, Moulin Rouge, lots of others i can't think of.

NO!
1. Hope Floats (don't ask)
2. Any Arnold Schwartzeneger movie
3. Ghost of Mars
There are probably lots more on this list but I have an english paper to finish (start).

[Edaarin]

The Godfather III never happened. Do you understand? It doesn't exist. AWFUL.

[Carl Spackler]

Fav's
1. Caddyshack
2. Slap shot
3. Tie between Porkys, Animal House and Top Gun

Worst
1. Sweet Home Alabama
2. Moulin Rouge
3. Meet my Parents

[Soulpieced]

Fav.
-------
Orgazmo
Pulp Fiction
Desperado
Don't be a Meance to South Central while Drinking your Juice in the Hood


Dis
-------
The Cube

[peam]

I keep seeing Desperado popping up. Have any of you guys seen the prequel to that? El Mariachi. It's pretty good, and I think my film teacher told us it was shot on a minimal budget. Something under $200,000.

Ruled. Laughed my ass off.

Just yesterday a mormon knocked on my door I couldn't stop laughing.

[StrayRogue]

I think it would be more than $200.000. Clerks was shot for about $30k.

[peam]

That's not a period.

I want to say it was shot on something as low at $50,000, but I'm not for sure. I know it was under $200,000, though.

[Edited on 9-26-2003 by peam]

[Zanagodly]

Half Baked and Scarface

[Scott]

Fav:

Top Gun
T2
Saving Private Ryan

Sucked:

Snake Eyes

*Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

[StrayRogue]

Done some looking and I stand corrected...

"It was done on a budget of only $7000, and shot in 14 days."

I live in Austin, which is Rodriguez's city... or we consider ourselves so. Opening night on ANY of his films... and I mean, ANY.. even the Spy Kids stuff, is always sold out in every theater in town.

We know all about him and one little bit of trivia that I thought was great was that to get the money to film El Mariachi (which I did see, but I'm going to be trite and say I though Desperado was better than, but Once Upon a Time in Mexico was worse than) he did six months of medical testing. You know.. they pay you to take some drug or placebo or procedure and then document the results or side effects.

Now that's dedication.

[StrayRogue]

Scientific testing is pretty safe and incredibly well paid. Its saved my worthless broke ass a few times in college.

I'd do it, but I never have whatever they're looking for at the time they're looking for it. Or they want to do the testing at a time that I can't work around. Maybe when I really run low on money I'll start harvesting my eggs.

..kidding!

[StrayRogue]

Theres always my $1 mill for a weekend offer Dex ;)

Or organized crime.

[Edited on 26-9-03 by StrayRogue]

[longshot]

1. Trainspotting
2. Deconstructing Harry (avoid if you don't like Woody Allen)
3. Good Will Hunting

Honorable metion to Dumb and Dumber, Forrest Gump, and Platoon.

Worst Movies
1. Searching for One-eyed Jimmy. Believe it or not, this movie has Jon Tuturo, Samuel L. Jackson, and Steve Buchemi in it. It also has the fat guy from dirty work. It is easily the worst movie ever made.
2. Armaggedon
3. AI

[Crazed Sylvan]

I got to see Shawshank for the second time the other evening, and I think I enjoyed it even better than the first time I saw it since I was looking for all the other little things in it too. Definitely one of my favorites.

And Dextra, Clue KICKS. It's probably my sister's favorite movie, and I can't argue with her decision either, seeing as it's one of mine as well.

[Artha]

Favorites:
Boondock Saints (Great movie. You should all go rent it.)
Fight Club
The Matrix (reloaded is good too. It'd probably be number 4 or 5)

Worst:
Dumb and Dumber
The Mask
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
(see a trend?)

[GSLeloo]

Top three likes:
Goonies
Princess Bride
LOTR(First and second)
(And a fourth: Beauty and the Beast)

Top three worst:
Friday
Braveheart
Meet the parents

[ElvenRangeress]

Blah! Your least movies are my favorite ;oP

[GSLeloo]

I don't really like comedy movies, drug movies, romance movies... I like action and sci-fi and yes, disney!

[Halfsilver]

Good:
-LOTR (all three of'em) I know the last one hasn't come out yet, but it's already one of my favorites.
-Gladiator
-Gettysburg (back in maryland, my father and I went around to all the old battlefields and stuff)

Crap
-ANY teen movie (american pie, etc)
-ANY corny romantic "chick-flick" ie. never been kissed...walk to remember. (god, I hate those movies.)

[Rowi]

Good:

1) Full Metal Jacket
2) Planes, Trains and Automobiles / I agree Goonies is good!
3) toss up Princess bride, Shirley Temple, Clint Eastwood spaghetti western movies all good but i think Shreik edges them.

Dunage:

1) All friday 13th movies except the first one.
2) Steel Magnolia's
3) Fried Green Tomatoes
4) Bad News Bears go to Japan
5) Cool as Ice
Scary:

1) Fatal Attraction - Scariest Movie ever made!
2) The Exorcist - the first one only
3) Birds

[Edited on 9-26-2003 by Rowi]

"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!"-Harry Tasker



[Edited on 9-26-2003 by Meos]

[CrystalTears]

Pick just three?! Oyi.

Best:
Lord of the Rings (all of them)
The Matrix (ditto)
X-Men (same)

Worst:
Ishtar (Dustin Hoffman must have been desperate, and I can't stand Warren Beatty)
Highlander movies (I'm sorry, I know, what an outrage, but watching Christopher Lambert makes me twitch)
All sequels of horror movies, i.e. Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, etc.

[Morstanya]

If you haven't seen these movies you should rent them, then hang yourself when you realize you've been walking around like a moron for too long to be tolerated:

1. The 13th Warrior (Great feel for nordic myth, lots of monsters, swordplay, and ass kicking)
2. High Plains Drifter (Man does Clint kick ass on those pathetic pukes that screwed him over, even screws a few of them, literally)
3. The Holy Grail (I can't believe no one else listed this, what's wrong with you people !? Life of Brian too, wake up !)

If you liked any of these movies please castrate yourself or whatever it takes to keep you from reproducing:

1. Home Alone (Die punk, die !)
2. The Rock (only Nicolas Cage can make a movie with Sean Connery and Ed Harris blow chunks)
3. Every Movie Jean Claude Van IcantactworthaDam ever made (two words: acting lessons)

Mors

Brain candy is a great flick.
Monty Python's movies are all good too.

Forgot to mention that Howard the Duck kicks ass!

[Morstanya]

I'm gonna get you for that.

[Meos]

seriously, how big like 12 pounds? Thats a serious bass

[peam]

I'd say 8.5lbs.

Boondock Saints is a good movie. Very tongue in cheek.

[Artha]

I can't wait until the sequal comes out. No word yet on when, but I think it's going to kick lots and lots of ass.

[GS4Gurl]

Best:
1. Braveheart (I luvz Mel and Scottish accents)
2. Gladiator (Great acting and characters.)
3. Gone With The Wind (Its the Rebel in me)

1. Moulin Rouge (Cheeezy as hell)
2. Candyman (dumb)
3. Friday the 13th (and all 50 sequels are cheezy too)

[Just Lurking]

Best movies:
1. Drunkenmaster 2
2. Resevoir Dogs ( I gotta agree w/ Peam on this one!)
3. Police Story (1,2, and 3)

2. The Blob ( the newer one)

I'd be willing to say that Office Space is one of the most important movies of the 20th century.

[longshot]

Please! If you can even find this movie, go rent it. You will hate me!

Searching for one-eyed Jimmy.

I promise you it is the worst movie ever made.

[Snapp]

<<I'm sensing a theme here.

She should rot in the pits of hell. ;)

[Artha]

Menos, Hands of Fate is the worst movie ever, kthx.

[Zir]

The Best (fairly recent) Movies:
1. LOTR
2. The Italian Job
3. Pirates of the Carribean

The Worst:
1. Jeepers Creepers (Oh, god they made another one)
2. Blade 2 (I saw it for free and still felt ripped off)
3. The New Starwars Movies (So bad they actually detract from the originals)

[StrayRogue]

The last James Bond film was a pile of crud as well. Where to begin on how bad that was...how about after several years in captivity, he is still strong and fit, still has a nice set of pearly whites, hasn't any broken bones, no sensitivity to light...God I hated it.

Blade 2 was poo as well.

[Zir]

I haven't really liked any Post-Roger Moore Bond movie.

[CrystalTears]

Actually I haven't liked any post-Sean Connery Bond movie. :D
