Favorite Movies Game

[Domer121]

Okay..I am a huge fan of movies...and instead of just the review of the last movie you saw I thought we could list as many or as few movies that we love and why..it might give you some ideas:)


I'll start..
1. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon---beautiful film(I gave my longer answer in this and that game)
2.Never been kissed(also gave answer in this and that game)

3.Kitty Foyle.1936.. It is such a telling movie about the human condition and the ruth of love and deception..

4.Edward Scissorhands-- Tim Burton does something that is so unexpected and I loved it!

5. Breakfast at Tiffanys-- It is so good./.I am such a sucker for the chick flick! :)

[Daizee]

I'm sorry, I have to admit that one of my absolute favourites is Love Actually. It is THE BEST 'cause it always makes me laugh and cry simultaneously!!

Also love Bridget Jones (I'm anyone's for a chick flick / rom com)

Pirates of the Caribbean also has to be in the top 3 - just love the music, action and Johnny Depp's pretty nice, too! :D

[hyperinsomnia]

Alice in Wonderland

Hercules and The lion king give me warm fuzzies =]

Moulin Rouge

A Clockwork Orange

I'm also an Edward scissorhands fan, and confess to seeing Pirates of the Caribbean eight times at the movies.

[aeroport]

I think I'll just add mine one at a time as I have time to write about them.

That's pretty impressive, hyperinsomnia. I think I went twice, which is rather a lot for me.

Pour moi...
I really like the adaptation of The Wings of the Dove. Unfortunately the novel has beat me - totally forced me to give up and come back when I am a greater man - several times (!), so I cannot evaluate the film in light of the book, but perhaps that is for the best. The three leads are all excellent, in my opinion. I confess, sick and frail and dying as she was, I was a little in love with Milly Theale by the end of that film. I am quite sure that some things are not to be - at least explicitly - found in the novel, such as the opium den, and that last scene (dear me!), but it all seems really quite appropriate (in light of my knowledge of 2/3 of the text). Good music. Venice. Jamesian characters. How much better could it get?

[A Snowy Evening]

As this is a literature forum, i'll list some of my favorite films that were adapted from books.

The Last of the Mohicans
The Cider House Rules
Two gorgeous movies. Great actors, heart wrenching performances, and of course, great stories.

To Kill A Mockingbird
Inherit the Wind
American classics about the conintued awakening of a nation's moral consciousness. Must see films for any self respecting american.

I could go on forever, but i'll stop now. I think i love movies at least as much as i love books.

[sawyer]

The best book to movie adaptation is without a doubt American pycho.

However A clockwork Orange comes in a close second.

[andave_ya]

Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Caribbean

those were the obvious ones....

Singing in the Rain
On the Town
Daddy Long Legs
Three Little Words

Movie Musicals! Gene Kelly starred in the top two, Fred Astaire in the last two.

I watched Singing in the rain last night! Not for the first time, but it was lovely to see again:)

[andave_ya]

Isn't it lovely! I love that movie!

[toni]

The Green Mile by Stephen King. Tom Hanks was phenomenal and John Coffey was just remarkable. What is good about this movie is, it truly stays faithful to the book. The characters and the settings were as you imagined them to be. Don't get me started on Percy...

[ejarg7]

Mine, in no particular order:
1. Roman Holiday - I'm a sucker for romantic films and this one is bittersweet at its best.
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark - great entertainment! I have mixed feelings for the 4th Indiana Jones movie though. :)
3. Gone With the Wind - one word describes it all: "Classic".
4. Dead Poets Society - inspirational, need I say more?

and the list goes on and on ... I love movies, especially the classics of the 40s - 60s. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

[Moira]

Dare to love me ( Jeux d'enfants - original title) - not popular, but one of the nicest movies on love, friendhip and disturbed young people.

A beautiful mind - i saw it sitting on the stairs in a cinema because i've got a ticket for a seat that actually did not exist anymore but loved the movie.

And many others, these two just came to my mind.

[*Classic*Charm*]

I'm also an Edward scissorhands fan, and confess to seeing Pirates of the Caribbean eight times at the movies.


You beat me!! I only saw it 4.5 times in theatres.

Obviously, PIRATES!!

White Oleander
Pride and Prejudice
The Silence of the Lambs (and all the other Hannibal Lecter Movies)
Dial M for Murder (basically, all of Hitchcock's movies)
Beauty and the Beast (all Disney, but that one's my fav)

There are soo many and I just can't think of them right now...I'm sure I'll add more later

[hyperinsomnia]

You beat me!! I only saw it 4.5 times in theatres.

Haha 4.5?

I saw the second one four times, but it's getting worse and I find the popularity is annoying.

[kandaurov]

Clockwork Orange
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Mulholland Dr.
Der Himmel über Berlin
Shining

I'd go see movies in the theater over and over too, if I happened to have a high-paying part-time job :p

[Niamh]

Alice in Wonderland

Hercules and The lion king give me warm fuzzies =]

Moulin Rouge

A Clockwork Orange

I'm also an Edward scissorhands fan, and confess to seeing Pirates of the Caribbean eight times at the movies.

Disneys Hercules? O my god! I love that movie! Its probably one of my favourite disney movies. I even Applied the Propp and Toderov theories to that movie for my Film Studies course in college.

[Adolescent09]

The Godfather---Need I say that all the performances along with brilliant cinematography tied this memorable film in the minds and hearts of fans around the globe? This film in itself glorified the mid-70s and depicted man's true ability to reach perfection in anything..10/10

Cannibal Holocaust--- Sordid in every aspect of human torture and pervasive gore, the paradox "Who is the real villain?" is brought up beautifully and drilled into the mind of the viewer. One of the most underrated films of all time, the essence of its meaning is still partly fathomed by staunch fans of the gore genre. Yet here the gore augments the nature of the film and is not superfluous---10/10

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs---Very rarely are films able to tie in anachronistic events of seeming gibberish effectively. Quentin Tarantino is one of those apostates with an insight in cinema which transcends the understanding of most lighthearted people. With films such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp fiction, the viewer is forced to think "outside" the box. 10/10

These are only a few. I'll add to it.

[Shalot]

Clay Pigeons --- I'm a big fan of comedy but dark comedy is my favorite.

Fight Club --- Do I have to explain?

Ben Stiller comedies: I like most all of them. At first, I didn't get Ben Stiller and wished he would stop making movies. But he is funny in a less predictable way and that's what I like about his movies.

[Domer121]

I have never seen fight club...who is in it?

[Scheherazade]

Daddy Long LegsOne of the first books I read in English and as I was reading it, I remembered watching the movie as a child (Fred Astaire - Leslie Caron) and got such a kick out of it.

Which version of the movie do you like?

[ejarg7]

I have never seen fight club...who is in it?

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton

[TEND]

Pfff, lots, to keep it short, I'll stick to only one movie from each of my favorite directors.

Ikiru by Kurosawa
- An absolutely amazing, very sentimental experience delivered in a very unique way from a director best known for action work. Very difficult to choke back the tears, and I always was so shocked by the first scene, there aren't many directors who would do something like that. (This is not my favorite Kurosawa film by the way)

Wild Strawberries by Bergman
- A wonderful experience, once again dealing with a similar topic to the first, an elderly man searching his life for meaning and accomplishments.

Apocalypse Now by Coppola
- One of the most visually stunning films ever created, the slow ascension into fantasy as we travel along the river is an unbelievable experience. Some of the most memorable scenes in hollywood history, that must be seen by anyone who considers them a fan of movies at least once. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." :D

Once Upon a Time in the West by Leone
- I have found that Leone above all else excels at combining beautiful visuals with gorgeous sound to make wonderful experiences, even if the actors didn't do a strong job (which they do) it would still be a great movie. The first scene is one I will never forget, and I love the scene where Jason Robards character is introduced.....wow.

Closely Watched Trains by Menzel
- A great movie by a great director who unfortunately did not ascend to the same levels of his fellow countryman Milos Forman. A humourous but eventually tragic film taking place in World War II within Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia.

On the Waterfront by Kazan
- Had to have a film starring my favorite Marlon Brando (no Apocalypse Now doesn't count). You can see the greatness of this movie summed up in one amazing scene, the back of the car, with Brando and his brother demonstrates so much the dynamics of Brando's acting as a few minutes later, well he loses it. He deserved his Best Actor for this.

Goodfellas by Scorsese
- I can't decide which is my favorite Scorsese film, but this one is as good as any. Another great cast, De Niro, Pesci, Liotta as the three main characters are unbelievable. Great blending of visuals and sound, my favorite scene especially when they "whack" Billy Batts while Atlantis plays in the background, the one close-up of Liotta's face foreshadows the descension that is about to occur over the rest of the movie. Besides this two of the most incredibly complicated shots I have ever seen, the one continous shot through the restaurant blows me away.

So, those are a good chuck of my favorites, though if I actually listed them, there would be about 5 more Kurosawa and Bergmans, and at least 2 more Leone, Scorsese and Coppola films each. :D This was fun though.

[andave_ya]

Here's one.

It Happened in Brooklyn: cute black and white musical with Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Durante and Kathryn Grayson. Sinatra sings "La ci darem la mano" (opera) with her and it is absolutely enchanting.

[manolia]

Here's some more:

The crow (part 1)-Alex Proyas
Dark City -Alex Proyas
Spartacus- S. Kubrick
2001: A Space Odyssey -S. Kubrick

[kilted exile]

It's good to see the greatest film of all time (On the Waterfront) getting mentioned

[Shalot]

Despite my previous list, all the Star Wars movies should be on this list. It's too bad the originals started in the '70s. The special effects of today are superiour. I almost wish they would recast the originals and re-release them with the new special effects. But how can you replace James Earl Jones? You can't.

[RobinHood3000]

I almost wish they would recast the originals and re-release them with the new special effects. But how can you replace James Earl Jones? You can't.I'm afraid I must disagree. The old special effects, in my opinion, were not only more than sufficient, they added to the charm. As we've seen so far, George Lucas' efforts at retweaking, though helpful in the occasional moment on a simple cosmetic level, has on the whole only detracted from the films. On top of which, I honestly cannot imagine recasting any character from the original films at all.

[Shalot]

Really? It bugs me to watch those clumsy imperial walkers in Empire Strikes back and ROTJ. You watch those and then you watch Revenge of the Sith with updated special effects, and then you have to keep in mind that the part 4 is almost 30 years older then part 3. And doesn't it bug you that Anakin's starfighter is more up-to-date than Lukes? I know that's completely stupid, but things like that bug me. And if they did recast it, it might be bad and would probably be too expensive anyway, but I think it would be interesting.

[papayahed]

That's the difference between the two sets. The original three are more about the story and the special effects are thrown in as support. In the next three it's the opposite all the energy was focused on the special effects without a really good story to back it up.

Of course, seeing the orignal on the big screen probably adds to my biasness (Is that a word??)

And if they did recast it, it might be bad and would probably be too expensive anyway, but I think it would be interesting....and then I see Hayden Christiansen speaking George Lucas' lines, and I feel all warm and fuzzy about the original trilogy again.

Why would it bug me that Anakin's starfighter is more up-to-date than Luke's (which, by the way, remains arguable - the armament of a Republic starfighter, if memory serves, is about half that of an X-Wing)? The Rebellion has a considerably smaller wartime budget than the Republic, you know. Besides which, I like the look of the models - the CGI fighters just look too clean to me, too idealized. Knights in shining starfighters are such a cliche. Aside from the perfunctory story completion of the new movies, I believe that the new movies' greatest merit is the intensified lightsaber duels, and that's about it.

[Lily Adams]

*thinks of way too many favorite movies*

Awesomeness overload...awesomeness overload...*explodes*

Lesee...
1.Marie Antoinette. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
2.1776. OMG, singin', dancin' patriots!
3.Pretty much any movie by Tim Burton. I especially like Mars Attacks! (Ha ha, no one likes that movie) and Corpse Bride. (Music in that movie=superb)
4.Amadeus. I really don't need to tell you why I love this movie. Everyone does.
5.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've seen the '80's TV series, and it's good, too, but it's not a movie. :)

I could list sooo many movies but I would probably spend an hour typing them up.

I don't know why it wouldn't bug you but it bugs me.

I happen to like Hayden Christensen. He didn't give his best performance
I'll admit but he had a few good moments. I'm not ready to write him off as a crappy actor just yet.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I love Mars Attacks. It's one of 5 movies that I've every thought enough of to purchase.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.I guess so. To be fair, it's hard to stomach a conversation like:

"You're so beautiful."
"It's only because I'm so in love."

- and be able to participate in it well. Plus, it's hard to focus on acting when all your character is doing is whining. All the same, I think that Harrison Ford was absolutely irreplaceable, and that Mark Hamill was a much more interesting protagonist than Hayden Christiansen.

That little exchange wasn't as bad as the one in Attack of the Clones on Naboo next to the fire where he says: I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me..."

I can't even type it without getting embarrassed. It makes me cringe. I agree it was crappy acting. But I've seen him in other films and he's not always that bad. We'll see.

And I guess no one would have been interested in how Darth Vader became Darth Vader if they had started with the The Phantom Menace so I see why the movies were released the way they were. (Would anyone have gone to see another Star Wars movie if they were introduced to it through The Phantom Menace?) But I still like the new ones.

It might be because when I saw the originals I was very young and didn't really know what was going on. I thought he was Hans Solo (not Han Solo), I asked if C-3P0 was a man or women, I thought they were fighting with either Light Savers or Life Savers, I thought the ewoks were adorable and I didn't even grasp what they really meant when they were talking about the force.

And then I didn't watch any of them again until last year. And I wouldn't have if I hadn't come across Sith in high definition. That got me interested so I went back and watched the originals. To go from stunning special effects and intense light saber duals to that sad little dual with Darth Vader and ObiWan in A New Hope (I mean they didn't even try), well it was just kind of a let down.

What do you mean? That was cutting edge at the time.

[Shalot]

seeing as how I probably wasn't even conceived at the time Lucas filmed that particular scene, and seeing as how I didn't really sit down and watch those movies until recently, (hint as to my age if anyone cares --- have I ever even said? I don't know) I just can't be convinced that the scene was ever anything other than lame. Perhaps people who have experienced Star Wars in a different way, in a different order think the new movies are crap and that's fine. I just won't be convinced otherwise.

[Lily Adams]

I love Mars Attacks. It's one of 5 movies that I've every thought enough of to purchase.

Ha ha. I mean ACK ACK. I love sci-fi. Especially sci-fi that makes fun of old b-movie sci-fi. (I.e. Mars Attacks! and...Mystery Science Theater 3000. :blush: ) <3 BUY IT. The DVD shouldn't be more than $10. I watch it so much. Especially when I'm sick because it always makes me feel better because it's so hilarious. My mom is so sick of it, though. Whenever I watch it, she says, "You're watching that again?" :lol:

And it's not that they didn't try - it's only that attention spans were longer then. The Force, as originally conceived, was reminiscent of Far Eastern spirituality - the Dao, the concept of chi energy, et cetera. Consequently, when they dueled with lightsabers, it was meant to more closely resemble fights between Samurai warriors - combat instilled with honor, where every move is decisive and methodical, and where each stroke with the blade has the potential to be a killing blow.

Now, nobody pays attention unless it's all bang, boom, and flash. :(

[Shalot]

Well, Sir Alec was no spring chicken, and Darth Vader's a walking iron lung.


And Yoda hobbles around with his little wooden stick, but you don't get to see him in action without the special effects. It's hard to make those puppets flip about.

[RobinHood3000]

Ah, yes - while that scene was cool, I prefer Yoda when he's not in action, actually. One of Bruce Lee's wisest quotations (and Sun Tzu's, as well) is that, as a point of principle, fighting without fighting is always the best recourse. I prefer Yoda as the sage, almost regal, Pez dispenser of wisdom.

Besides which, he totally let Darth Tyranus get away. When a column is falling on two people, you don't stop the column, you MOVE THE TWO PEOPLE!! :mad:

[Werther]

Though I am by no means patriotic, I thought that I, as a New Zealander, would recommend two NZ films with literary connections. (And no, I am not going to mention 'Lord of the Rings'; I despise fantasy and I have never seen any of the LOTR films.)
Firstly, 'In My Father's Den'. Based on the story by NZ writer, Maurice Gee, this is as good as film gets. A truly artistic piece of cinema, it is also a film of enormous psychological depth. Set in Central Otago, it really captures something essential about the NZ psyche. The soundtrack to the film derives mostly from the album 'Horses' by Patti Smith. It is said of one of the characters that she "wanted to be Patti Smith when she was younger" and in this way, the music acts as a thematic counterpoint to the repressiveness and provincialism of NZ society. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. Please watch it and then you will pity me for being born a NZer.
Secondly, 'An Angel At My Table'. This film is based on the autobiography of New Zealand's most famous author, Janet Frame. A very tragic life story, Janet Frame came from a background of total destitution, suffered terribly from depression, was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and spent long spells in mental wards/lunatic asylums. The film was directed by Australian, Jane Campion, whom you may associate with 'The Piano' (starring a very young Anna Paquin).
So for any of you interested in learning about the literature and cinema of New Zealand, I hope the above mentioned films satisfy your curiosity. I promise you they will be very rewarding viewing.

[Shalot]

Besides which, he totally let Darth Tyranus get away. When a column is falling on two people, you don't stop the column, you MOVE THE TWO PEOPLE!! :mad:

He would have had to focus on moving two separate objects as opposed to moving one very large object. And we all know, that when we multitask, we tend to make errors. :p

[Domer121]

NEVER Been Kissed!!!
Gotta Love the chick flick!

[BibliophileTRJ]

3.Pretty much any movie by Tim Burton. I especially like Mars Attacks! (Ha ha, no one likes that movie)

Mars Attacks! is one of my favorites. The martians are so gleefully malicious that I can't help but love them. The best line from that movie is "HAHAHAHA! They blew up Congress!!!"

I agree that almost anything by Tim Burton is going to be notable at least and most likely captivating.


Another of my all time favorites is "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover"

The use of color to convey mood in this one is extraordinary! The whole movie takes place in or just outside of a restaurant and as the characters move from room to room their clothing changes color. The outfits are the same; just a different color. In the dining room everyone is wearing shades of red.... they walk into the kitchen and now they're wearing green..... in the bathroom - pure white.... in the alley outside the kitchen - blue. This happens with the whole cast EXCEPT one character (her lover) who is always wearing a brown suit... this character is very even tempered and steadfast.
It's a VERY clever gimmick that doesn't come off as gimmicky.

The only movie ever to make me cry was "Awakenings". I found it heart-wrenching. The first time I saw it, I didn't start crying until it was clear that the medication would never work again; but on subsequent viewings I start bawling earlier & earlier as soon as De Nero starts slipping back into that catatonic state.

And lastly, I have to give a BIG nod to "Brokeback Mountain" (big shock there, huh?) for all the same reasons that it was hyped to death when it was released.

[Domer121]

I agree that almost anything by Tim Burton is going to be notable at least and most likely captivating.


I will agree with you there... His films are ones I always look for because they are something different, they are not the average story, even though I am a big fan of the chick flick..after a certain point , though, you want something out of the ordinary....Big Fish is another one of my favorite movies, as is Edward Scissorhands... only Tim Burton could of made that story line work...

[AxLxExC]

Ah Tim Burton, where would the world be with out his brooding masterpieces?

Gotta give a shout out to my other favorites:
Serenity
The Boondock Saints
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Braveheart
Sin City
