C'mon Brave heart is totally awesome, lots of English folk getting killed, a crazy Irish guy - what more does a film need?
Some movies which are awesome despite the lack of the above:
On The Waterfront
Angels with dirty faces
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Dog Day Afternoon
Boondock Saints (this one does have crazy Boston Irish guys though)

It might be hilarious but there is no right to laugh uproariously.
That is the last movie I had ever watched...
Lily Adams
08-18-2008, 03:12 AM
ANY film by Wes Anderson-especially Rushmore-, (Wes is my favorite director) Revenge of the Nerds, Ed Wood, Mars Attacks!, Sweeney Todd, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, The Atomic Cafe, 1776, Amadeus, Back to the Future, Marie Antoinette, Freaks, Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Lolita (1962), The Island of Lost Souls, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Chalk, To Live, Apocalypse Now, Idiocracy, Forbidden Planet, Forbidden Zone, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Little Shop of Horrors, (both versions) The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie, and Contact.
Those are some of my favorites, but I wouldn't say they are all complete masterpieces.
Ed Wood films are fun. I basically watch too many obscure b-movies for my own good.

Way way way too many to choose from... but today, I'll have to say Picnic at Hanging Rock, the original Nosferatu, LOTR trilogy (they were brilliant, shut it!), St.Trinian's, Fight Club, and there was an important one... but it slipped my mind.

A good selection! Regarding Salo, i recently read the de Sade book (120 days of sodom) which left a deep impression on me..well read it, if you haven't. It is amazing what Pasolini did with the material source. I am no literary expert (quite on the contrary) but i believe that Pasolini took what looked like the ramblings of an unstable mind (although i believe there's much between the lines of that particular book) and turned it into a masterpiece.
Breathless, Jean-Luc Godard
The Double Life of Veronique, Krzysztof Kieslowski
8 1/2, Federico Fellini
Fanny and Alexander, Ingmar Bergman
Salo, 120 Days of Sodom Pier Paolo Pasolini
Landscape in the Mist, Theodoros Angelopoulos
L'Eclipse, Michelangelo Antonioni
Rocco and His Brothers, Luchino Visconti
The Seven Samurai, Akira Kurosawa
Solaris, Andrei Tarkovsky
Viridiana, Luis Bunuel
Wings of Desire, Wim Wenders
In a year of 13 moons, Rainer Werner Fassbinder
The Conversation, Coppola
The birds (or north by northwest), A Hitchcock
Lost highway, David Lynch
On the waterfront, Elia Kazan

Great list. I haven't read anything by the Marquis yet but I will, I've heard some good feedback about it. I'm just starting to read Petrol, Pasolini's last unfinished novel. I saw Viridiana the other day for the first time, amazing film, I also love Bunuel's Los Olvidados.

No one has mentioned The Godfather I & II yet? Those are two of my favorite movie's of all time. Like Lily Adams, I like just about anything by Wes Anderson, esp. The Royal Tenembaums. I won't make a list, because I'm sure I'll leave something off, and my preferences change with my mood, but here are just a few more I love:
Blazing Saddles
The Big Lebowski
A Bridge Too Far
Saving Private Ryan
Rebel Without a Cause
The Dirty Dozen
Pulp Fiction
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Traffic
Scent of a Woman
Shalot

Animal House (there are a lot of movies that probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for Animal House)
National Lampoon's Vacation
Fight Club
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Pulp Fiction
Star Wars (all of them)
Lord of the Rings
A Street Car Named Desire
Tombstone
Planet Terror and Death Proof
JFK
All the Kings Men
Titanic (yes, I'm putting it on here - the Jack/Rose story was kind of silly but otherwise the costumes and the effects were good I think)
Maybe my tastes aren't as sophisticated as some, but to me these movies are the most awesome for different reasons
Weird Science
Edward Scissorhands

I'm actually not the biggest Tarkovsky fan, to be perfectly honest. "Andrei Rublev" is a masterpiece by any definition, but I'm not the biggest fan of experimental cinema (I never managed to finish "Zerkalo"), and sometimes the pacing is nearly unbearable. But you are right, in that I need to see more of his films.

Yeah the pacing can be tough with Tarkovski, but it feels right for the film, like Japanese cinema, kind of. Another great Huston flick is The Misfits, I saw that recently for the first time and was amazed by the performances of the actors, especially Monroe since I've never thought of her as a talented actress.

This is the first of his novels I've read, so far it's interesting but it's more a work in progress than a novel really, but it's great to see how he thinks when creating a story. I've read a couple of his books, film critics and pieces he wrote for magazines regarding politics, philosophy and other subjects.
Los Olvidados has that touch of neorealism but also Bunuel's cruel irony. I need to see more of his work, like Belle de Jour and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. The Exterminating Angel is also great but don't expect to understand everything about it, it's probably one of his strangest films.

There's a list I once typed of my favorite movies in various genres. I'll try and track it down.
EDIT: A-ha! Found it!
Oooh, Aliens is certainly a good choice. It's hard to come up with a single favorite - I prefer asking for a top 5 or top 10.
A few from my list, in no particular order...
DRAMA
The Shawshank Redemption
The Truman Show
Moulin Rouge!
Waitress
GEEKY (Yes, that's a category. In my world, anyway.)
Superman: The Movie
Batman
Iron Man (although that may change once the "recently-watched film" high wears off...but I doubt it.)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Back To The Future (yes, I know the last three were from the "Geek Trifecta" of film trilogies)
Serenity ("Saw that comin'." -Jayne Cobb)
Ghostbusters
COMEDY
Toy Story
The General (Buster Keaton is a genius. Funniest when seen in a group setting, though.)
Young Frankenstein
Weekend at Bernie's
The Producers (alas, still haven't seen the original with Gene Wilder)
THRILLER/ACTION/HORROR
Rear Window
Aliens
Army of Darkness
FOREIGN
The Legend of Drunken Master
Once Upon A Time In China I-III
Shaolin Soccer
Kung Fu Hustle
Lagaan: Once Upon A Time In India
I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Roma Cita Aperta

Night of the Hunter
Lord of the rings
gone with the wind
The last unicorn (great animated movie!)
Amelie
Le Vie en Rose
The Commitments
Once
Bridge over river Kwai
Psycho (hitchcock version obviously!)

RobinHood3000
08-18-2008, 07:34 PM
I disagree - Shark Tale is awfully dated. I would vote The Incredibles as the best computer-generated feature ever.
Pensive
08-18-2008, 07:56 PM
Awfully dated? How?
As for The Incredibles haven't yet really seen it fully but by the looks and the little I have seen (though looks can be deceiving) it seems just another action movie. Don't see what's so cool about a bunch of guys punching the disarmed enemy into unconsciousness...well maybe not just my cup of tea.
RobinHood3000
08-18-2008, 10:06 PM
Shark Tale seemed to me to rely heavily on pop culture references, in the same vein as Dreamworks films like the Shrek franchise. To be fair, I haven't seen it in a while. I also found the less-than-subtle allegory of homosexuality = vegetarianism, well-intentioned though it was, to be a little overpolitical for what is ostensibly a children's movie. The involvement of Jack Black (who I remember wearing a John Kerry T-shirt to an awards ceremony) shouldn't have surprised me.
The Incredibles is much more than your average action flick. Not only is it very well-written, it's a highly intelligent homage of superhero comic conventions that a geek such as I finds very appealing.

I haven't seen "The Misfits," but as far as I am concerned, John Huston is a god among filmmakers, truly one of the all-time greats. When it comes to Hollywood cinema, I believe that there are four auteurs who stand heads and shoulders above the rest (never mind that two of them are from Europe): Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, Howard Hawks and Fritz Lang.
...I realize that you never actually asked about it, but I figured that since this is an "awesome movies thread," I would use this opportunity to show them some love.
Mark F.
08-19-2008, 12:49 AM
Agreed on Huston, though the other two Hollywood directors I love most are Wilder and Mankiewicz. Hitchcock, to me, is overrated, which doesn't mean I don't love his films, he just tends to overshadow other equally great directors. Hawks, Kazan, Welles and Ray are all great but those, Huston, Mankiewicz and Wilder, are the three that really stand out for me.

The exterminating angel! that's probably my favourite Bunuel film. I should have put that to my list! I was privileged to watch many Bunuel films at the theater these last three years. Hehe i have my theory about this film (and considering Bunuel's political beliefs etc etc) i believe it can't be that far from the truth ;)
Belle de jour is very nice. I like very much the leading lady.
Now, the discreet charm is something, isn't it? That along with the "phantom of liberty" and the "milkyway" are by far the most absourd Bunuel films i've seen.
The obsure object of desire was very good too. I like the guy but i am forgeting his name :rolleyes:
I think "tristana" was the last Bunuel film i've seen..not sure if i am forgetting any..

Hi *Classic*:wave: I like your list. I have all of them except one....guess which one...;)...you will scold me...:(
National Velvet (for sentimental reasons lol) I love this film. I own it and other "horse" movies. I love horse films actually, even better than dog films.
Can miniseries count? or must they be classic films/movies?
If so I adore the film "Shackleton" - to me it is amazing!
There are so many films and many of the classic older films, I would rate high on my list.

So, those are my top five...and totally random thought, I'm 29 but if I could marry any movie star from any time it would be John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart...*sigh* THOSE WERE MEN!!
