You left out the second one and it makes me laugh because that was easily my least favorite of the three as well. Just out of curiosity, what was it about the movie you didn't like...or at least didn't like as well as the other two?Quote:

Hum Tum....I can watch it another 100 times
(it is one of my favourites, i'll keep posting my other favourites as well)
I'll tell you what I didn't like about The Two Towers: Rohan and all the fighting. The whole movie was about the battle at Helms Deep. Do we have a snoring Smiley here? Because it was not so great.Quote:

For me it wasn't the time devoted to the battle that rankled me, it was the fact that A) there were Elves there and B) the Rohirrim looked like a bunch of weak, scared old men which they most certainly were not and C) Eomer wasn't there. :rolleyes: Actually, there was very little I did like about that movie, very, very little.Quote:

The cartoon version of Watership Down(the book is better but that goes without saying)
anyone notice a theme here (I would put the noise rabbits make here but they don´t really make any noises)
The secret of Nihm
Fight club
Interview with a Vampire
Queen of the Damned(its difficult because QDmovie only vaugely reasembles the book)
Pulp Fiction
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
LORT series(both peter jackson and cartoon)
These are in no particular order I love them all. Also other than Donnie Darko and Harvey(which began as a magnificant play) they are all based on some really goof books. All of the books are better than the movie. The reason reality and CGI are to restraining. Words are free.
Well, I want to update mine, since I've grown quite a bit more fond of movies in the last few months. My new favorite list will go something like....
Wild Strawberries
The Seventh Seal
Ran
Taxi Driver
Dr. Strangelove (most Kubrick actually)
Chinatown
On The Waterfront
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
hmmm.....good starting point I suppose.
"The Mirror" -Tarkovsky
"Hiroshima, mon amour"- Resnais
"The Trial"- Welles
"The Red Desert"-Antonioni
"Pierrot le fou"- Godard
"Hour of the wolf"- Bergman
Heh, I've seen "Hour Of The Wolf" since making my list, it's great but I still prefer "The Seventh Seal".
1. Amelie.
2. North by Northwest
3. Once Upon a Time in the West
I saw "the seventh seal" a while ago, and, while i really liked it i liked wolf better. My favorite scene is whe Max Von Sydow is showing Alma his notebook and describing his drawings; his face hidden in darkness, hers illuminated and the expressions on both of their faces... wow...
These are the ones that come to mind:
Aliens
The Terminator
Donni Darko
Amélie
The Warriors
Braindead
Day of the Dead
John Carpenters The Thing
South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Thirteen
And probably a billion others I have forgotten...
Gone with the Wind
Lady Hamilton
Tim Burton's films, aspecially The Nightmare before Christmass... Of course, there are others too...
Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
Goldfinger (changed my life forever--(but I was still a nerd)
Zulu (Michael Caine)(the Rider Haggard historical connection
Corvette Summer--a very guilty pleasure
Alien/Aliens--depends on my mood
Witness--the Amish barn raising scene I watch over and over
To name a few
Lost Highway
Rope
V for Vendetta etc.
"The Last Of The Mohicans"
"Autumn Sonata"
"The 7th Seal"
"Macbeth" (1973)
"Romeo and Juliet" (1968)

"It Happened One Night"
"Lawrence of Arabia"
"Casablanca"
Those are some of my favorites.

Room With a View
Anything Hitchcock, how can one choose?
This is just a sampling. I love zillions more!
I’ve watched so many great films…I’m not sure where to begin. I’ll try.
SOME COLOUR FILMS:
I'd have to mention Krzysztof Kieslowski's films, especially 'The Three Colours Trilogy' with 'Blue' and 'Red' being my favourites. Juliet Binoche could have played an influence in my choice of ‘Blue' over ‘Red’ though.
‘Blade Runner’. It may not be the best film in the world but it certainly always comes to mind, so it must have left an impression on me.
‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’. Fantastic acting from Newman and Taylor.
‘Pulp Fiction’. So refreshing at the time.
‘The Good the Bad and the Ugly’. Ice cool Eastwood and ice cool music.
‘The Horseman on the Roof’. Could be because of Binoche again!
‘Labyrinth’. Haunting.
'The Scent of Green Papaya'. Beautiful, gentle film.
'The English Patient'. Quality film and quality music.
SOME BLACK AND WHITE FILMS:
‘To Have and Have Not’. If only for the dialogue between Bogart and Bacall.
‘Some Like it Hot’. Seen it too many times to get excited about it now, but a classic.
‘Random Harvest’. If you need to shed a tear, but can’t find any other way because you’re the hardest man on earth. This will do it!
‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’. Fantastic acting from Burton and Taylor.
Any of the 'On the Road' movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
I’ll probably think of a few dozen more after I finish this post. Isn’t that always what happens!
1. Titanic
2. Infernal Affairs
3. Vertigo
4. The Silence of the Lambs
5. Psycho
1. Zorba the Greek
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Notorious (1946 film with Carey Grant, not the BIG movie)
4. Love Actually
5. O drakos
Donnie Darko
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Titantic
Beauty and the Beast
Forrest Gump
City of God
American Beauty
Stand by Me
Amelie

Now this is a tricky one for me... i just love so many movies!
Pans Labyrinth
Amelie
Night of The Hunter
Carousel
The Informer (B&W )
Nosferatu
Psycho
Changeling
Stand By Me
Nothinghill
Stardust
Last King of Scotland
27 Dresses
Beauty and The Beast
there are so many many more that i cant think of (cause i've a pain in my head)
Pans Labyrinth is amazing
it keeps changing
like a moving target
when you think you like a movie because you like the actor, then that actor throws a cellphone at a reporter, or worse, makes a political ranting, then i don't like that movie anymore....
I love Paul Newman, and I tried really hard to like this movie, but my brain kept screaming "HE'S GAY! PORTRAY HIS GAYNESS OR ITS ALL RUINED!" I liked the acting, but not the story adaptation.Quote:
