Your favourite film

[Munro]

There's always been a lot of "what's your favourite" topics, but I don't think I've ever seen a favourite film one, and we're always referring to films we like...so...
What's everyone's favourite films? Or ones that we've seen recently and liked.
My top 5 would be
Pulp Fiction
Dr Zhivago
Dr Strangelove
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Ben Hur

to name five out of many.

I would choose One Flew over the Cuckoos nest too but so many others including Orphee (Orpheus) By Jean Cocteau.

[Shea]

Citizen Kane (without a doubt)
Somewhere in Time
Breakfast at Tiffanys
Roman Holiday ( I love Audrey Hepburn)
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are fast becoming my favorites but so far, I liked the books better.

[Chardata]

oh jeeze...ben hurr...bad band memories...::screeming and holding head:: lol. Right now i like Pirates of the Carr. Jonny Depp...too funny!

[AbdoRinbo]

'Dr. Strangelove', heh . . . that one is awesome. But, geez, picking a favorite . . . that's no modest task. Erm, I like Kubrick but I don't think my favorite film is one of his. I also like Peter Jackson ('The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and the basement comedy, 'Meet the Feebles') right now, but it's too early to tell if he is my favorite director ('Meet the Feebles' is wild, still digesting it). There is one movie that I like in particular called 'Tenebrae' by the Italian director Dario Argento. The score is phenomenal (a horror-style 80s techno-pop), and the stale, incandescent lighting sets a rather dry mood for a pretty shocking blood-bath. But I suppose tasteless horror isn't very popular anymore.

I`d name:
Pulp Fiction
Gone with the Wind
Sherlock Holmes (Russian version) + old Russian movies, 70`s - 80`s really enjoy those......and generally,
i dont watch movies that much...i`m more into music... :P

Just had to say...


I saw Luther this weekend, and it was excellent! It hasn't been advertised, so I wanted to recommend it. Unfortunately, my husband and I had been planning to write the screenplay on the history of Luther ourselves. Obviously, someone beat us to it! But we can say after all our research, it is historically accurate in all of it except the part where the boy hangs himself.

Oh, and if anyone here is Catholic and goes to see it, please keep an open mind, and understand that it is simply history, not necessarily an attack on the Catholic church.

i've probably seen my best friend's wedding the most of any movie, but it's not my fave.. i guess i don't really have a fave. i really liked good will hunting. did u know matt damon and ben whatshisname wrote that themselves?

[Shea]

I liked Good Will Hunting too, Robin Williams is one of my favorite actors. I used to like My Best Friends Wedding, but I had sort of a falling out with it. My Best friend and I had made a pact like that, then we did get engaged, broke it off, and now I'm minus a best friend and a good movie.

Robin Williams lived not too far from my home in Livonia. Growing up, he went to school at Cranbrook (one of the most prestigious private schools in the country, which is where the inspiration for 'The Dead Poets Society' came from). Happy Thursday's Present of Knowledge.

Are there a lot of tributes to him there? He's rather genius in his wit, in my opinion. I saw him do an improve segment on Inside the Actors Studio, absolutely hilarious!!

[Rotty1021]

Williams is one of the most gifted actors around. Jim Carrey, too, but they are very different.

All of my favorite films are comedies. I don't watch too much of the dramatic stuff, that's what I read. "Dumb and Dumber" ranks up there as my favorite film, with at least fifty viewings. I also like those teen movies that take place in high schools.

[KLO]

It's hard to pick a favorite, but the following are some that I either enjoyed immensely or that deeply moved me:
Singin' in the Rain
Schindler's List
A River Runs Through It
There's Something About Mary
Both Harry Potter films
Both Lord of the Ring films
Smoke Signals

I have to mention and strongly recommend one film that I saw for the second time last night (and trekked all the way to the opposite side of the city to do so) called Russian Ark, which I assume some forumers may have heard of already.

It is the first film ever to be done in one take, it goes for 90 minutes and it takes the viewer through Russian history and it's art. It is both spectacular and beautiful, and especially the last 20 minutes are absolutely amazing. I had tears in my eyes when it finished, I don't know why exactly, maybe just because it was such a beautiful journey altogether.
