After reading most of the lists i was about to say "wtf did you people just start watching movies 9 years ago or what"

Nice list Backlash

Army Of Darkness
Predator
Blade Runner
Terminator
Total Recall
The Rock (No not the one with sean conery and nicholas cage though that wasn't a half bad movie.... kinda boring at times)
Spinal Tap (lmfao but this one goes to 11)
Hell all backlash's movies lol
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (personal fav)
Braveheart


Some weird movies like Donnie Darko interesting.

[Edited on 12-30-2003 by Overlord]

[StrayRogue]

All of them except Alien Resurrection.

[Overlord]

Good point.... they should have just waited till Alein Vs Predator or done that instead of Resurrection.... It was almost as bad as the third.

[Edaarin]

Almost forgot...almost any Pacino movie.

The movie itself might suck for 115 minutes, but there's always that 5 minute speech by Pacino that makes it completely worth it. It was the inches speech in Any Given Sunday, the flamethrower spiel at the end of Scent of a Woman, and so forth.

[Moist Happenings]

LOTR
Princess Bride
Goonies
Fifth Element
Loser
Labyrinth
Um..and a lot of others I can't think of right now.

[MaryJane]

I like most of the movies you all posted, but my all time favorite is War of the Roses.

[GSTamral]

1) Saving Private Ryan
2) LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
3) Clockwork Orange
4) LOTR: Return of the King
5) LA Confidential
6) Braveheart
7) Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
8) Lawrence of Arabia
9) Bill + Ted's excellent Adventure (don't ask why, for some reason I just feel its a classic, especially when Genghis Khan drinks from the toilet)
10) Forrest Gump
11) Starship Troopers
12) Memento
13) LOTR: Two Towers
14) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
15) South Park: The Movie
16) Star Wars: A New Hope
17) Austin Powers 2
18) Shrek
19) Armageddon
20) Ice Age (beats out Gladiator because of Scrat)

[GSTamral]

Actually, better than Pacino is Christopher Walken, who has his 5 minute total tangeant speech about nothing even remotely pertinent to the plot. Those are usually even better.

[Izadriel]

hmm.. thinking back.. I didn't see this anywhere.. always loved "Goonies"

[StrayRogue]

One of the things that pains me about turning 20 is that I am too old now to be a Goonie. Awesome film.

[Czeska]

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is awesome. Freud with the vaccuum stuck to his mouth <laughs>

An oldie I loved as a kid was "the Incredible Mister Limpet" with Don knotts turned into a fish.

[longshot]

Trainspotting-- This is my alltime favorite. I can't believe it's already 8 years old.

True Romance
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
Casino
Goodfellas
Forrest Gump
Contact
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Deconstructing Harry (The funniest Woody Allen movie)
Dumb and Dumber
American Beauty

I like a lot of the movies on the lists so far. I think these are the only movies that I would stop what I'm doing and watch them until they finished. I really like the Godfather, but it just doesn't meet that criteria.

I can't believe you didn't have menace 2 society on there Tamral.

[Kitsun]

I can't believe no one listed MONSTERS INC! "Boo!" "Kitty!"

Most, if not all, of my favorites have already been listed but...
Lord of the Rings I, II, III
Star Wars Episode VI especially, Ewoks are teh pwn
Army of Darkness
Princess Bride
Labrynth
Matrix I, II, III
Pirates of the Carribean
The Last Samurai - Really cool movie
Braveheart

I'm sure I'm missing some.

No shit man, when i was out here in the US and saw that for the first time i was appaled... just as i was when i was watching CNN broadcasts from Scotland and there were subtitles.

I know. Its like dubbed/subbed anime or hell, any foreign language movie. The true meaning is always lost in the translation.

[Rastaman]

Fifth Element is a damn good movie. Anyone else wanna negotiate?

[Xcalibur]

Made by a franchman, Luc Besson if i remember right, and got that big supposly cute mila miloz something.

It was good, but I prefer his denonciating moving, such as Jeanne D'arc, or his kick ass movie as "the professionnal" (Léon)

Milla Jovovich. She was married to him at the time of both movies ;) Oh yeah, he's about 50-60 I think as well.

[Edited on 30-12-03 by StrayRogue]

I'm probably going to regret asking this, but I'm really curious.

Who are you calling retards? Anyone who's not British? Cos that's how it sounds, and that's pretty lame. I sure hope this isn't going to turn into another hate thread. :rolleyes:

Nope. Not Americans. Language translation occurs in most countries when a product is exported. However what annoyed me that English or rather a dialect of English was translated into...English. The retard comment was directed at the poster, I'll go back and clean up the grammar. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It was directed at me?

Are you fucking kidding me?

I own a DVD version of the movie. I've never watched it with subtites. Nice assumption though. You try to start shit, but you end up looking so rediculously stupid every time.

So a subtitled version may have been released on VHS. Big fucking deal. Does that mean that I own it?

No, it doesn't.

Does that mean that I've seen it?

No, it doesn't.

Once again, your reasoning fucking sucks.

So it bothers you that someone from the US might not understand the dialect of Scottish heroin addicts. Allow me to apologize on behalf of my ethnocentric countrymen.

Read the next paragraphs carefully...

I'm not on the dole, government aid, or whatever you are on to survive. I have a job, and money, that allows me to buy DVDs. You are a piece of shit dirty hippy, who has the respect of nobody. Maybe this is why you have a second hand VCR in your "social room" of your community home that smells like a wet dog that died two years ago.

You will never amount to anything.
Your long hair and bad attitude are just symptoms brought on by the helplessness that you feel through years of rejection.

You're ugly and miserable, and rather than accept it and place the blame on yourself where it belongs, you just lash out at others with your wild arguments.

If you died, there'd be nothing but a tie-died colored candle and half burnt cigarettes left by a couple of your hippy friends to remember you. That's what happens when social outcasts die. Nobody will care or remember you.

This was about movies that you like. You have a problem with me, send me a U2U.

[StrayRogue]

I think its you that has the problem moron, as its you that started the flaming.

More, but i'm just saying those i have in mind

[StrayRogue]

I love the way you've screwed up some of those titles. First laugh I've had in an hour.

[Xcalibur]

Bear in mind i watch movie in french, which means traducted title

That means i translate them back to english, which often isn't the exactly same title.

Laugh is good, laugh man, laugh, you'll live longer that way

[MrThorbizzle]

I hear Tarantino stole everything from John Woo's Hong Kong films...that big-headed bastard

[Xcalibur]

Who cares, his films were better.

[longshot]

I know you will reply in thirty seconds with thirty words or less no matter what I say, so it's rather pointless, but I'll give it a try.

Where in this thread did I flame?

In another thread, you were probably being a bitch and I called you out on it.

Try keeping it in that thread. That way, you won't ruin a perfectly good one like this one.

I don't understand how I'm a retard because a subtitled VHS movie about heroin addicts from Scotland was released in my country.

Take some time to read those last few paragraphs that I wrote about you again.

Let them soak in... like body odor into your mattress that lays on the floor with no boxspring.

[MrThorbizzle]

I should rewrite the bible...I'd make it better...

crap, Mormons beat me to it

[Czeska]

Oh, Dangerous LIasons was excellent also. Glen Close is a terrific actress when she's being a psycho bitch.
And Cute little Keanu, hahaha.

couple more...

Chicaco
Dead Poets Society
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (yes with subtitles)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[StrayRogue]

You're retarded because you claim to hold a desire to keep this to U2U's, then blatantly don't do that. For your own knowledge, not that I give a shit about some peonic moron who lives in a country his own Dad probably bombed the fuck out of, but I'm not a hippy. Earning money for me isn't a problem as I'm paid to be a student, I'm paid to learn. My house, and I stress HOUSE, as its fucking huge, is probably the size of four Jap condo's out there. As for being lonely, bitter etc, not lonely at all. I have a gf, friends. Bitters...perhaps. But then I am educated. You aren't, obviously. Its you with the problem, my friend.

[Bobmuhthol]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
The Warriors.

[Hulkein]

Stand By Me,
Shawshank Redemption,
Terminator series,
High Hopes - the story of the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies

[Czeska]

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Stand By Me>>

Never seen it, and all I could think of was Stand and Deliver.

I almost cried.

[Bobmuhthol]

I also liked Bruce Almighty and Holes. A lot.

[Rastaman]

I just saw School of Rock yesterday. THAT MOVIE FUCKIN RULES!!!

[Overlord]

I think its funny how excalibur is both #1 and #32

[Solkern]

the best movie ever is revenge of the nerds the original one!

[PoppycockTheFool]

Pride and Prejudice, Quills, Braveheart, Willy Wonka and umm I dunno I'll think of more later.

[Xcalibur]

Originally posted by Overlord

Rather, it's the first and the last

I adore movies like that, from birth till death

[Souzy]

I have to add:

A Better Tomorrow - Directed by John Woo (he's the bomb)
Sleepers

[Latrinsorm]

Terminator 2
Lethal Weapon 2
Clue
Lethal Weapon 1 and 4
Payback
Iria Zeiram, or something close to that. No subtitles, TRANSLATED! HA! I have NO IDEA what the original authors intended!
Gladiator/Braveheart
Kill Bill
Platoon
Pi (once you get over the insanity it's pretty good)
Soldier
Universal Soldier
Monty Python, the Grail one
MST3K the Movie

And does anyone else think FLCL would have worked MUCH better if they stuck all the episodes together as a movie? That would be pretty far up there on the list.

Edit to add:
CLINT EASTWOOD WESTERNS
Especially GBU, HPD, and HEH.

[Edited on 12-31-2003 by Latrinsorm]

[Xcalibur]

What means FLCL
MST3k
GBU, HPD and HEH?

[Latrinsorm]

If you were cool you'd know.

If you were cool you'd know.

Annnnd if you were cool you'd know.

.

Ok, FLCL is an anime show. It's very hard to understand.... mostly because it goes out of its way to make no sense. I believe watching all the episodes in a row with no downtime would make it easier to understand. I'm reasonably sure FLCL isn't an acronym.

MST3K stands for Mystery Science Theater 3000. It involves three people making fun of a horrendously bad movie, in this case "This Island Earth".

GBU is the Good, Bad, and the Ugly, HPD is High Plains Drifter, and HEH is Hang 'Em High. I was so furious with myself for not remembering them that I couldn't type out the whole name.

Also, Blues Brothers (original and 2000) are quality.

[Xcalibur]

I am cool, but it's impossible for me to know about FCL and MST3k since they never went on TV here.

But thanks for the response

Saving private ryan kicked ass in theater, also

[Sean]

well my 1st favorite is big lebowski

but other movies i think are worth watching that i havnt seen mentioned a few times are:

fight club
pcu
heat
usual suspects
dazed and confused
platoon
training day
spaceballs

and this one is incredibly stupid but i always enjoy watching it:

hudson hawk

[Xcalibur]

Training day was really surprising, until it becomes the "we stand together" crap at the end

[Disrupture]

1. Fight Club (Mostly because I like the book so much)
2. Snatch
3. SLC Punk
4. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
5. The Big Lebowski
6. Dogma
7. Donnie Darko
8. Clerks
9. Mallrats
10. Chasing Amy

Can tell I'm a Kevin Smith fan, can't you?

[Latrinsorm]

Was anyone else annoyed that the Natty Bumppo character WASN'T the last of the mohicans, although he was the main star of the movie? I HATE it when they do that. It also bothered me that they renamed him, but that's a different thing. If you get past those, good movie, I agree :)

[Xcalibur]

Wasn't he an half mohican half white? I could be wrong, but that was I think i was thinking back then :lol:

[The Cat In The Hat]

The Little Mermaid
Interview With the Vampire
The Man In The Iron Mask
Pirates of the Carribean
Moulin Rouge
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Twister
Mission Impossible 2
House of 1000 Corpses
The Mummy
Snow White, A tale of Terror

The Last of the Mohicans

The final scenes, with the sweet music and the fighting on the mountain. It's probably the best sequence in any movie I've ever scene.

[Xcalibur]

cat: french version was really.. really well done for a crap movie.

And I like the fact that Death was humanizing (put humain) and them defying them. I was young to

69!

[Siefer]

13th Warrior
Braveheart
Gladiator
Dead Presidents
Mission Impossible
Commando (What happened to Sully? I let him go.)
Memento
Goodfellas
Once Upon a Time in America
Any Star Wars, LoTR, Terminator, Die Hard, or Godfather movie

[Siefer]

Oh shit I forgot...

Dirty Harry

[Betheny]

STar Trek movies rule.

[Xcalibur]

Which star trek

you don't want to name crap such as insurrection and nemesis-bye-bye-data-bye-bye-picard

[Betheny]

STFU X, you know nothing.

Nemesis > all.

Just because there aren't blue-skinned dancing girls doesn't mean the movie sucks, duh.

[Xcalibur]

I know nothing now? because Nemesis would had been better as a TV episod to a movie that caused Stewart to tell em: Ciao sucka!?

And, don't tell me to shut up, please

I take this time to add this film: The.Adventures.of.Baron.Munchausen

[The Cat In The Hat]

If Movies are funnier in French than English perhaps I should watch Dude where's my car in French.

Cat

[Siefer]

I can't believe nobody listed...

Speed

[Bobmuhthol]

Yeah, we all love watching Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves on a bus.

You're dumb.

[Edaarin]

Any Godfather movie? Have you never seen Godfather III?

[Bobmuhthol]

I think Scarface should be put on the list just for one line.

"You fuckin' wit me, you fuckin' wit the best!"

[Drew2]

Your mommy let you watch that? Or were you a sneaky, naughty boy.

I got it for Christmas.
