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

"Come and See" 1980's ver.

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:

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.

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).

A timely reminder that this thread isn't called 'Name Some Films That You Quite Like'. A definite on-topic contender.

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 [insert movie title here]?!", I say to them, "Remember this rule of thumb: I have not seen [insert movie title here].".

I can't pick the absolute faves of mine, but here are two that are among my faves: Edward Scissorhands and Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain.

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. That one was just fucking hilarious.
