What's so great about those movies?

lol pretty funny... i have never heard of those movies.

They were probably made and released before you were born! :D

That was time when actors actually had to be good actors, and not souped up with electronic digitizers and such crap ...including monsterous film-effects just to make the movies interesting.

Baron Max

All too much like someone we once knew..

Yojimbo

Lost and Delirious

Sword of Doom

M. Butterfly.

Gone with the Wind.

Mary Poppins.

Birth.

Mystery Train
Brazil
Touch of Evil (director's cut)

Did you watch 10 things i hate about you?

Your explanation above pretty much says you didn't... or you were doped on LSD

What's so great about those movies?

i simply love those movies...

10 things i hate about u is just like an must see for all teenagers (in my opion)

Thanks for that!

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Dark City.

One of my favs. I guess it was because it's a movie that's dark and there's no sunlight whatever until the end. A movie that takes place only a night gives it a strange feel. Plus, it was very creatively done. The whole thing with the aliens using corpses for vessels... and controlling experimental environments through a telepathic communications with machines. It had a 50's type set. Everything came together to create a whole new surreal world you could almost feel yourself in. You just have to see it to believe it.

GATTACA, one of them. I just watched it and it reminded me how much I loved it.

Galdiator
Good Will Hunting
Fight Club
American History X
Indiana Jones Series
Back to the Future Series

More than 3, so bite me.

You'd be lying to yourself if you said Back to the future 2 and 3!~

Too hard to put a limit on the number of greatest movies. Anyhow, here's a few from me in my collection:

http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/SneakyLilBastard

- N

Dark City, Gattaca, and American History X are incredible films. They are amongst my favourite.

Matrix 1
lord of the rings
KILL BILL, . ......I loved it
Equelebrium ........... opps didn't spell that right....any way

omgeesh i agree with alot of u because gladiator (spelling?) is just one awsome movie! lol (u dont have to have a limit) and so is the ORIGINAL willie wanka and the chocolate factory

and so is the ORIGINAL willie wanka and the chocolate factory

There is only one Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The recently released version is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Staying a bit truer to the story from the book, but losing so much in literary genius.


Excalibur is a damned fine movie, too.


Prince James,

American History X

A good movie. Ed Norton is capable of fine acting. Fight Club is another excellent example of his work.

Anyway. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to realize that this movie speaks out against racism? My little brother went through a wannabe skinhead stage and during this time he thought American History X was the greatest movie of all time because of how Norton delivered his demagoguery. He was more than a little taken aback when I pointed out to him (quite unnecessarily I thought, but go figure) that the movie was anti-racism rather than pro.

Invert Nexus:

Whilst I certainly recognize that it is supposed to be an anti-racist film (it obviously was meant to be), as I have remarked before on the board, I am surprised that such blatantly pro-racist themes, including the ending, were released billed as such. That is to say, it seems to be a pro-racist film thinly guised as an anti-racist one. The balls to release such a controversial film was enough to make me respect the film, the great acting and story enough for me to consider it great.

Blade Runner
Alien
Apocalypse Now
Blue Velvet

....so many good ones

Blade Runner was excellent, yes.

Risky Business
What the Bleep do we know

I like horror, action, comedy, drama and international.

Horror/Action/Scifi: Silence of the Lambs, Kill Bill, Resident Evil 2, Matrix

Comedy: My Cousin Vinnie, Mirror has two faces, As good as it gets

Drama: Shawshank Redemption, One flew over the Cuckoos Nest, Vertigo

International: Amelie, The Pillow Book, Atame

Many more but these are alright.

SamCDKey:

I cannot imagine you watching Resident Evil 2.

But The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favourite films. Excellent choice.

I desperately want to see The Pillow Book.

I watch all the horror/scifi movies I can get my hands on. And all the animation films too.:D

The scanner darkly is a great movie.


major head trip but still really good

And Winona Ryder, the greatest woman to ever live, is in it.

Truly, I love her beyond words.

Any particular reason why.


She brought the shitty acting hard in the age of innocence.

*Note. I thought she sucked in it before the family guy spoof.

And she also sucked in the crucible.

I will kill you where you stand, Nietzsche boy.

But the reason why: Because she is the greatest woman ever.

good memory. Switched the avatar about a week ago.

I literally laughed when my film teacher told us she got a best supporting actress nod.

You laughed in embarrasment for being rebuffed by the world.

Again: Winona Ryder is God's gift to humanity.

But I tire of this! Off to go attend to her shrine.

I laughed to cover my dissapointment in humanity for honoring such a stinker performance.




http://as.wn.com/i/4d/6a8bfbf5fec281.jpg


Now THAT my friend, is god's gift to humanity. :D

Dark City, Gattaca, and American History X are incredible films. They are amongst my favourite.

Wow. Those movies are definitely in my top, along with some of those from Absane's list--Gladiator and Good Will Hunting. I'd probably say American History X is my favorite though.

I share your thinking, Invert. Many people I've talked to about this movie think the movie is pro-racism. It's really not. There's a line in the movie by Danny near the end that sums it all up pretty well, I think: "Life's too short to be pissed off all the time."

Trying to think of some that have yet to be listed, here's some of my favorites:

Battle Royale, Being John Malkovich, City of God, Easy Rider, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Godfather, Grave of the Fireflies, Lawrence of Arabia, Leaving Las Vegas, Leon: The Professional, Lord of War, Lost in Translation, Memento, Oldboy, Pi, Requiem For a Dream, Schindler's List, Team America: World Police, Traffic, Versus, What Dreams May Come.

- N

I agree with you about Leon, Oldboy and Lost in Translation.

Those are good movies.

Scarface. Or Arna's Children.

That is a tough question...
I could easily rattle off my faves, but I don't think they are the greatest movies ever made. And I haven't seen many of the old classics..

I suppose my-ignorant-self would have to say....
ROGER RABBIT!!! whoooo!
Mickey Mouse and Bunny Bunny had a scene together, that's huge..

I agree with you about.. Oldboy.. - samcdkey

You must denounce Zinda though. ;)

- N

Requiem for a Dream (which is fantastic) was filmed near where I live. In fact, only three or so miles away. What Dreams May Come was also brilliant.

You must denounce Zinda though. ;)

- N

Haven't seen it.

Currently have Water, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240200/) but haven't got around to seeing it yet.

However, I liked both Fire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116308/) and Earth, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150433/) so I have high expectations.

Anything by Leiji Matsumoto and "Whisper of the Heart" are my favourite in terms of Japanese anime movies, which Neildo included in his list. I do believe "Whisper of the Heart" - in the original Japanese version - has the most touching ending in any movie, live-action or animated, that I have ever seen. It truly was beautiful.

"Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...And Spring" is the greatest Korean film I've ever seen. It is also tied with "Siddartha" for the greatest religious film in my book.

Reminds me of the Kieslowski movies, Red (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111495/), White (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111507/) and Blue (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108394/).

I liked Blue the best of the three.

Solaris (1979)

The Dark Crystal

Seven Samurai 1954
Tin Drum 1979
Deer Hunter 1978

The Seven Samurai was incredible, even if I say Yojimbo was better (in part).

The Passenger - 1975

http://www.sonyclassics.com/thepassenger/home.html

Dr Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
Shakespeare in Love
Fight Club
Jacob's Ladder

Dr. Strangelove and Jacob's Ladder were great. Fight Club and Shakespeare in Love pretty bad, I say.

The Seven Samurai was incredible, even if I say Yojimbo was better (in part).

I Gotta find me Yojimbo then.

You can't go wrong with Kurosawa. I love all his films.

You must denounce Zinda though. ;)

Neildo, when I saw Zinda, I was amazed at the storyline and thought to myself, "Gee, Bollywood is really going somewhere! Sweet versions of Ramayana and Mahabharata, here we come!"

But then I died the day I found out it was a copy (surprisingly not a Hollywood movie) of an Asian movie.

P.S. Bollywood definitely has become better. Rang De Basanti comes to mind...

Yeah, heh, it's a direct copy of Oldboy, which is why I said that comment to what I quoted. It's literally a scene for scene copy yet Sanjay Gupta tries to make it out to be an original movie. I don't mind when remakes happen when you give credit and all, but this guy is trying to pass it off as original which is BS. He does that with most of his films which is one of the reasons for all the hate towards Bollywood -- not giving credit and trying to claim it's an original piece.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinda_%28film%29

* Oldboy and Zinda both tell the story of a man imprisoned for a significant time (In Oldboy, 15 years; in Zinda, 14 years) for no known reason. He is then freed with no explanation and given several days (5 in Oldboy, 4 in Zinda) to discover the reason for his imprisonment.
* Both films use split screens to illustrate the passage of time within the cell, contrasting the protagonist's physical training with real life news broadcast on the cell's television set.
* In both films, music plays shortly before the cell is filled with gas that renders both men unconscious. They are gassed so that the cell can be maintained, and so that incriminating evidence (such as blood samples) can be taken for future use.
* Both characters are framed for their wives' murders while they are imprisoned.
* In both Oldboy and Zinda, the protagonists are given a new suit and a cellular phone when they are released. Both men wake up inside a trunk, break free, and find themselves atop a building.
* The ringtone of the cell phone given to both characters is the same song that played whenever gas was released inside the cell.
* In both films, the imprisoned protagonist is fed a regular diet of fried dumplings. Later, he tracks down the specific Chinese restaurant (and consequently, the location of his prison) by going to several restaurants to find the exact same taste.
* In both movies, the lead character's signature weapon is a claw hammer. In both movies, the protagonist tortures the prison's owner by pulling out his teeth with the claw hammer until he is willing to divulge information about the antagonist.
* In both films, the protagonist single-handedly fights the guards inside the prison. Both characters are stabbed in the back, pretend to be dead, and then jump up to finish the fight. Both fight scenes are single-shots.
* Immediately following this fight scene in both films, the protagonist stumbles onto the street and is aided by a "Good Samaritan" who puts him into a taxicab and then introduces himself as the antagonist.
* In both films, the antagonist's lead bodyguard is a taciturn, white-haired man.
* In both films, the prison owner returns (sporting a mouth full of new gold teeth) and tries to take revenge on the protagonist by pulling out his teeth with the same hammer.
* In both films, the antagonist gases the protagonist and his love interest inside a motel room, where they lay after having sex. Wearing a gas mask, the antagonist lays down in bed beside them.
* In both films, the protagonist threatens to cut off the hand of the prison owner, in retaliation for groping his lover. The antagonist later delivers the man's severed hand inside a wrapped box, to let the protagonist know that he is being bugged and followed.
* In both films, the protagonist and the antagonist are graduates from the same high school. The protagonist was imprisoned as revenge for spreading rumors about the antagonist's sister, which apparently led to her suicide.

Check out the famous fight scene tho, heh, and tell me it isn't a direct copy. ;)

Oldboy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zlJnbvdUHY

Zinda:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q-rW1FZMX8

Heh, and what's up with this part? Don't even try and say a scene like this is a coincedence:

"* In both films, the antagonist gases the protagonist and his love interest inside a motel room, where they lay after having sex. Wearing a gas mask, the antagonist lays down in bed beside them."

That's weird enough as it is, LoL.

P.S. Bollywood definitely has become better. Rang De Basanti comes to mind...

Hmm, sounds interestingg, I'll have to check it out. Please tell me there's limited dance and music scenes in it tho..

And yeah, I'd also love to see an epic version of the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The ones I've seen so far, which have been mainly plays, have been kinda meh. I wanna see a grand epic version that knocks off everyones socks. The battle scenes could be so cool. :p

- N

Rang De Basanti is about corruption in India, and it relates the modern day teenagers in the story to Independence freedom fighters as a "call" to the youth to fight corruption in the country. Very limited in dance scenes.

List off a couple more Bollywood movies you enjoyed and I could help you make selections based on that.

Excalibur is a damned fine movie, too.


Yes, esp Nicol Williamson's portrayal of Merlin..."Are you just a dream Merlin?"

I also liked the original 'The Wicker Man'. Perfect script and casting.

Joe D'Amato's 'The Pleasure' is one of the best films ever made - the way erotica should be filmed.

personally i have 3 favorite movies ....

There's a difference between my favorite and the greatest.

My favorites are Closet Land (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101597/), The Lotus Eaters (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107445/) (including a truly wicked performance from Aloka McLean), The Crow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109506/), The Reflecting Skin (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100469/).

I even have a thing for really bad movies, like The Lost Boys (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093437/) and Some Kind of Wonderful (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/).

The greatest, though? I've not yet seen enough films. I don't think I can actually ... okay, fine: Starship Troopers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/).

:m:

Yes, esp Nicol Williamson's portrayal of Merlin..."Are you just a dream Merlin?"

Best Merlin Ever!

"He has returned!!"

Heh. It doesn't read right, of course.
He has a very Snidely Whiplash quality about his voice.

The Matrix (the first one)
The Princess Bride
The Terminator
Rocky

Full metal jacket

forrest gump

Full metal jacket

Lol,"me so horney, me love you long time"

Platoon blew Full Metal Jacket out of the water.

Kubrick had two good films: Strangelove and Eyes Wide Shut.

The rest were pitiful.

No way! 2001 was his best, way ahead of its time.


Last tango in paris was hot for its time too.

Last tango in paris was hot for its time too.

I prefer Bertolucci's The Dreamers to his Last Tango in Paris. :D

- N

Barry Lindon, James. One of the finest films.

La Dolce Vita, Big Lebowski, Fiddler On the Roof

I forgot to mention the first Highlander.

Hmmm...

Life is Beautiful
Betty Blue
Roman Holiday
Hannibal
Das Boot
Amelie

...umm...

Zombie Coed Vixens in Paris

Speaking of copies of Asian movies...

Which copied which?
Witches of Eastwick, or Erotic Ghost Story?
Or did thye both come from earlier material?

Pete:

I saw Roman Holiday as a play on Broadway with, of all people, Whoopi Goldberg.

Manos: The Hands Of Fate

Manos: The Hands Of Fate

Oh god. While you're at it, why not just list all of Ed Wood's movies as well? ;)

- N

I forgot to mention the first Highlander.

Yes! That was amazingly good. I just got the director's cut.

Meshes of the Afternoon
In weiter Ferne, so nah!
Sin City
A Guerra do Fogo

Kubrick, only two good films? A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece.. I thought a Space Odyssey was trippy(good thing).

Let's see...

As far as favorite childhood movies, I LOVED The Neverending Story.. and of course, The Princess Bride.

I took a film class my senior year of HS and saw Metropolis by Fritz Lang with the 80s music dubbed in, was my first experience with an old film and I found it utterly amazing.

PI is fantastic and thought-provoking(same directer as Requiem for a Dream)

Some others I loved... What Dreams May Come, Citizen Cane, Moulin Rouge, Jesus Christ Superstar(AWESOME music), Being John Malkovich..

Very recently I saw The Departed; great movie. Scorcese really knocked that one out of the park.

But Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is very near number one in my book.

L.O.T.R
Gladiator
Star Wars
Resivior Dogs
Stand by me
Shawshank Redemption
I Robot, (Im an Isaac Asimov fan)

L.O.T.R
Reservoir Dogs

Yes. A great movie in which we finally learned the true meaning of Maddona's Like a Virgin.

Yes. A great movie in which we finally learned the true meaning of Maddona's Like a Virgin.

Resivior Dogs had a fantastic soundtrack too!

Stuck in the middle with you...

FallingSkyward:

I actually found A Clockwork Orange to be barbaric, disgusting, pointless, and stupid. When a movie's -only- redeemable trait is the inclusion of Singing in the Rain and nudity, you know you're in trouble.

The Never Ending Story is a truly fantastic film.

I hated Pi - but loved Requiem for a Dream.

Citizen Kane and What Dreams May Come are excellent films. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is very good (but not great).

the human stain
slingblade
the amityville horror(remake)
wolf creek
american psycho 2
crash
donnie darko

just to name a few

Vslayer:

The Human Stain was quite excellent.

Crash was surprisingly not so bad, and in fact, was quite the good film.

hip hop babes, no doubt about it

has anyone here ever seen Johnny Mnemonic? Kind of cool premise, but classic american 90s sci fi

http://project.cyberpunk.ru/idb/johnnymnemonic.html

"Come and See" 1980's ver.

http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_10909/45dedfbab31beb0dbe27e6ac80bd70d8/45dedfbab31beb0dbe27e6ac80bd70d8_scale_281_370.jpg

Greatest film ever made:

Casablanca. All the stars were in alignment when that diamond was made, hands down. That kind of inspiration is typically reserved for the likes of Bach, Chopin, and Pushkin...not low-budget war movies. It has stood the test of time, and is aging exquisitely. (We shall disregard Mr Turner's sacrilegious colorisation).

My favourite, however (being a somewhat different question), is The Lost Prince, a production of the BBC. It evokes an almost mystical insight into the grandeur, folly, and affections of palace life during the late Edwardian-Great War period. Highly recommended to fellow Romantics:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lostprince/

You have a very good selection of movies Falling Skyward

Lord Hillyer:

I shall definitely try to procure for myself a copy of The Last Prince.

Ragnarok:

Good film.

"I thought I was gonna have to lay you out with this"- Asian liqour store clerk, brandishing a 45mm hand cannon, after being scared by a black guy who poses as a robber. Malibus's Most wanted(comedy).

Malibootay..

:p

- N

L.O.T.R.
Alien
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Halloween
Jaws

... and other 70's stuff... Peckinpah, Scorsese, De Palma, Cimino, Millius...

Ahh... those were the days. :)

Jaws
This one definitely resonates with me, in a way that few films have managed before or since. Watch it now and you wonder what all the fuss was about but it remains to this day the only film to make me literally jump out of my seat with shock (when that severed head floated down the cinema screen).
Monty Python's Life of Brian
A timely reminder that this thread isn't called 'Name Some Films That You Quite Like'. A definite on-topic contender.
Scorsese

Ahh... those were the days. :)
Yes indeed.

seen 'Little Miss Sunshine'? great movie. new-ish. Not sure about the BEST, but it's a contender.

I don't see movies very often. In fact, whenever people ask "Omigod have you seen ?!", I say to them, "Remember this rule of thumb: I have not seen [insert movie title here].".

I can't pick [I]the absolute faves of mine, but here are two that are among my faves: Edward Scissorhands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Scissorhands) and Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amélie).

I saw Edward Scissorhands sometime around last Halloween. I can say, hands down, it's an absolute fave. I liked the humor, the cinematography, and the plot a whole lot.

It was in my high school French class that I saw the beginning of Amélie. I was literally saying to myself "Fucking wow...", the cinematography was so good. I would love to see the whole thing.

There's a third movie. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talladega_Nights:_The_Ballad_of_Ricky_Bobby). That one was just fucking hilarious.

I watch all the horror/scifi movies I can get my hands on. And all the animation films too.:D

*swoon*

Really Friggin Great Movies:
Aliens (the second one, with space marines)
LOTR (all of them)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Empire Strikes Back
The Matrix
John Carpenter's The Thing
Day of the Dead
Blade Runner
Terminator 2

Just watched The Proposition: an incredibly brutal Western scripted by the multi-talented Nick Cave (and yes, Bad Seeds fans - it has his pawmarks all over it). Possibly the best western I've ever seen (though Unforgiven is not without its charms either).

Synopsis (http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/m/proposition/about.php) .. Reviews (http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/m/proposition/)

Edward Scissorhands is excellent. As Winona Ryder is ravishing.

there are quite many good movies here are some of my favorite:

Gladiator
Master and Commander
GATTACA
The Butterfly Effect
Fightclub
Matrix (the first one)
and so on...

I can't understand why so many like Gladiator.
It's a pseudo-authentic, mediocre hollywood thriller.

The Butterfly Effect


That was actually a good movie, but for some reason a lot of people don't think so.

I can't understand why so many like Gladiator.
It's a pseudo-authentic, mediocre hollywood thriller.

my add the order of the films i metioned is irrevelant...

I' don't i just like the movie...:)

I can't understand why so many like Gladiator.

The story of the underdog is always appreciated.

It's a pseudo-authentic

Most people don't know enough to distinguish any reality about the historical accuracies of the film.

mediocre hollywood thriller.
Are you European?
It must be in the blood of an American to enjoy action properly.

Yes, Gladiator was pretty crap, and I am an American who enjoys a good action film, but that was neither good, nor action.

Ben Hur. Now -that's- a Roman epic.

Spartacus, Cleopatra...

Old school Hollywood knew how to do Roman stuff.

Hmm, I'm not too into Westerns but a couple people recommended that movie to me. I guess I'll have to check it out now.

Hang 'Em HIgh was an excellent Western.

My favorites:

Starship Troopers
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan



The Never Ending Story is a truly fantastic film.


Really liked that when I was young.

Yeah, The Nothing that that hound.. now those were things to get scared about! No other movie creatures or fear was as bad as those two when I was young. The storm when the kid is reading the book and all, very atmospheric and emerges you into the movie getting more eerily freaked out by em.

- N

I'm no great fan of them either. I like Clint Eastwood and quite like Spaghetti Westerns but they're all a bit dated. 'Unforgiven' is brilliant though and, like I said, 'The Proposition' is possibly even better. You definitely don't need to be a Western fan to enjoy that one.

Best line:

<Incredibly evil outlaw cackling with malice> "Hee hee - this one's pissed himself!"

I do like unforgiven, high plains drifter, Pale rider and The Beguiled.
This proposition movie would have to be pretty good to make up for it's lack of eastwood.

Exhumed, Neildo:

Yep. The Never Ending Story was truly great on so many levels. One of the best of fantasy movies ever done. I'd also add its sequel to that list, but I once had the displeasure of seeing the third movie, which was completely and utterly horrific.

Last of the Mohicans.

Last of the Mohicans.

OMG!!! I forgat about that movie...and the song...is marvelous...Kevin Kustner or was it Mel Gibson?:bugeye: Well.....he rocks!


Anyways any movie w/ Kevin Kustner and Mel Gibson are the best.


Water World

I think is the best

Daniel Day-Lewis. Sadly he is now a shoe-maker in Europe, completely disenchanted with post-modern, commercial movie business.

Frankly most movies nowdays are re-makes or just old formula. Or they just suck. When a "movie" like Jackass rakes in millions, I have to conclude that the public absolutely deserves it.

Blade Runner

Butterfly Effect

titanic

I am considering reporting you for your horrible taste, 098.

for american films, i like most things by ridley scott. I loved the fantasy quality of legend. The best film, i cant say because i haven't got a chance to see every film in the world.
