GGLUHPT!
Club Silaco (sp?), was great. I want to go.
Quiet, you.
There's another movie, Mood Swingers. With a club sortof like that. Two guys from the audience get up and piss on the stage. It was quite funny.
Heh, reminds me of a G.G. Allin video I saw a friend's house once. The guy pisses in other people's mouths onstage while slicing his face open with a broken bottle.
:D
Have you ever seen the original Freaks.
No, what is it?
Not the original, the '32 (damn mind). Anyway, it is about the freaks in a circus. The whole thing is in B&W. It has quite a colorful history. I think Mr. P alluded to it in GR. It is one of the two movies that made me cringe. Here is imdb's page about it.
i have so many favourite films i could never single out the best film of all time i love mostly violent/comedy/weepy films especially:
lord of the rings, finding neverland(made me cry soooo much!), trainspotting(the best british film ever made), city of god, the godfather(1 and 2), fight club, magnolia, pulp fiction, snatch, lock stock, gangster Number 1, reservior dogs, scarface, life of brian,(actually all of the MP stuff) eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, seven, It, pirates of the C., shawshank redemption ,the greenmile, shrek, romeo and juliet, moulin rouge, wizard of oz, and i cant wait to see the new charlie and the chocolate factory
I love watching movies, here are some of my favourites:
The Godfather (The three of them), Don Juan de Marco, The Sound of Music, The Bridges of Madison County, City of Angels, An Affair to Remember, The House of The Spirits, Chocolat, Revenge (with Anthony Quinn), Dances With Wolves, No Way Out, The Lord of The Rings (The three of them), The Usual Suspects, Forrest Gump, Ben-Hur, My Fair Lady, Schindler's List, The Color Purple, The Green Mile, The Sixth Sense. As for kids movies my favourites are The Lion King, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Shrek, Monster Inc., Ice Age, Tarzan, and Home Alone (I and II).
Since I've seen so many good films in my lifetime, I can't give you a definitive list, but my favorites off the top of my head would be Kill Bill, Signs, The Village, and Stephen King's The Stand.
I agree with Hotfuss's pic City of God for one of my favorites. The ending scene is a killer. Also Dr. Strangelove, Apocalypse Now, and Schindler's List are great. But it's so hard to pick a favorite of all time. One real good one I've seen lately is A Very Long Engagement, by the directer and starring the girl from Amelie. 2001: A Space Odyssey hasn't been mentioned yet? wth
Lost in Translation. Great film, great music, great plot. Actually beyond adjectives :D
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, it's just such an epic movie.
The Big Lebowsky, the funniest film I've ever seen.
Apocalypse Now, beautiful cinematography, great acting.
Ran, as far as esthetics go this is a masterpiece.
The Night of the Hunter, chilling portrayal of evil vs good.
runners up would be One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest, Reservoir Dogs and Doctor Strangelove or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
my favorites are
tuck everlasting
everafter
lord of the rings
legend falls
troy
good will hunting
the prince and me
those are only a few.... :wave: :brow: ;) :yawnb: :lol:
Totally agree with you there Monica. It's one of those films that you think about even weeks after you watch it.Quote:

The movie was good, but I liked the book better.Quote:

There is also a bunch of Russian movies that I like, but most of you haven't even heard about them
Without a doubt... Moulin Rouge. Can you tell? lol. Great chemistry, great music, great story. Loved it. And... who knew Ewan McGreggor could sing so well??
The Lion King :D
I'm so childish...but I like it!
Dog Day Afternoon.
Both Al Pacino and John Cazale (R.I.P) are amazing in it, and it's one of the saddest films I've ever seen...I keep re-watching it, but it never gets boring.
That's not childish Shann.One of the most important truths I ever learned was from the lion king. when the deceased father tells his lion son"YOU ARE MORE THAN YOU HAVE BECOME" It made me wake up and try harder, fight harder for that which I believe in and strive to do.
I cannot pick ONE favorite, but one certainly is To Kill a Mockingbird.
Yeah, I loved the Lion King. In fact, it was the first film I ever saw - I was three at the time - and it's definitely my favourite Disney film.

13th warrior, King Arthur, Alexander..........none can be compared to Braveheart.
And Exorcist is the only horror movie which actually did frighten me so much that I didn't turn off the lamp while sleeping for almost a week. I was 12-13 then. :p
