Your favourite Movie of all time!!!

[TheRingBearer]

Just wondering what your all time favourite film would be.
Mine would be ummm let me see... The Fellowship of the Ring :grin: followed by Aliens. That rocks.

[Nessa]

I thought a lot about this, but the honest truth is I've never enjoyed a movie as much as I enjoy Fotr. :)

[HobbitFriend]

I agree with Nessa. I've seen movies that i've liked a lot and have watched more than once and still am not bored to see it again. Although, i've never really been so into a movie that i would have posters and am always talking about it, etc.

Then the FotR came out. I hadn't read any of Tolkien's books, and wasn't quite sure if i would like the movie, but saw it anyway. I was immediately hooked and had to go read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

I now have posters of the movie in my room, pictures, and the movie and am going to get the extended version when it comes out. Now if that's not enough... this is the first time ever that i've joined any online forums - and i would never join one about a movie or a book thinking that's "strange" (no offense) - uh oh! i guess i'm a Tolkien Freak now!!! :elfeek: roflmao
(i even watced the movie 2 nights in a row - my dad said he's thinking of sending me to the doctors! lol)

[Nessa]

Two nights in a row? Thats nothing, Hobbitfriend. I watch my copy in a continuous cycle.... that is when I'm not reading the books or hanging around here.... lol

I mean.... I've probably seen better movies... ones that were done better etc., but I have never taken so much joy in a movie as in this one, flaws and all. :)

[A! Elbereth]

FOTR will and most likely will always be my favorite movie of all time. I try not torture myself thinking about it when I can't watch it, but I cant stop. *sighs and looks off into the distance thinking about FOTR*

hehe they were playing FOTR at a store i went to, and my parents couldnt tear me away from it. My blank smiles at the screen attracted a crowd.... and soon 6 people were all around the TV watching. My sister laughed at me lol lol:blush:

[TheRingBearer]

Knowing how amazing FOTR was you can only wonder at how down right Brilliant the others should be. I've got a feeling that this time 2004 all three will be in the top three spots of every fan's favourite film list. :) :) :)

yes, but two nights in a row is something new for me lol

[Goldilocks]

:huh:

Hmmmm. Favourite movie of all time. Difficult to pick just one. Of course, of course, LOTR is up there, that's a given. But besides LOTR, I guess I have a few. Hard to pick just one.

E.T. (Spielburg = genius)
The Godfather (beautiful and tragic)
To Kill A Mockingbird (w/out a doubt, one best best movies ever made!)
It's a Wonderful Life (The ending makes up for the talking planets
:grin: )
Casablanca (Most romantic love story ever. Period.)

[Sindarin]

I have so many favorite films! It's certainly very difficult to choose only one!

Well, besides FOTR, :) my favorite film would have to be Kenneth Branagh's 1996 version of Hamlet.

In my opinion, the single most best William Shakespeare adaptation ever!!!

[Gandalf]

Although FOTR is amazing i would have to say that Die Hard is one of my favourite films of all time.

[TheRingBearer]

I agree. Die Hard is one of the best action flicks ever.
Other favourites of mine include The Usual Suspects, The Godfather and The Empire Strikes back!!

[A! Elbereth]

heh heh heh ... Men :rolleyes:

[Lady Arien]

Godfather II (love the history flashbacks)
Gone With the Wind (great on a rainy winter day)
Top Gun (NOT for Tom Cruise....love all the flying scenes...and Val Kilmer...hehehehe)
Braveheart (FREEDOM!!!)
Ever After (and most of Drew Barrymore's other movies)
Buck Privates (an old Abbott and Costello movie with some great big band/dance scenes...and one of the "Who's on First" sketches...classic comedy!!)
Mrs. Doubtfire (no explanation needed)
Point Break (yeah, well....just 'cause)....

Of course there are tons of others....but these are always in heavy rotation, and if one of them shows up on cable, I have a hard time changing the channel.....OH...and Legend....and....geez....why did I ever START this?

[Sindarin]

"Immortal Beloved" is an extremely wonderful film.

I also enjoy alot of Steven Spielberg movies. "Empire of the Sun," "Schindler's List," and "Saving Private Ryan" to name a few. :thumbs:

Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" is another favorite. The director's cut is excellent.

Not to mention "The Godfather" 1 & 2.

[Illuvatar]

Okay I'm in.....

Of course being a Tolkien FREAK!! I now have a new favourites....FOTR...and all TTT and ROTK...when they come out! lol
And off course they are on the tippy-top of the list!
But I do have several that are on top of the list as well:

Shawshank Redemption (watched it last night)
Close Encounters (I wanna go!!)
Hellraiser (One of Clive's Best)
Nightbreed (another great Clive)
Dances with Wolves (worth it for the buffalo scene alone!)
The Green Mile (OUTSTANDING!)
Blade Runner and Braveheart to round out the list that could go on and on!! hehehe

But I suppose that covers my Top-Ten list..

Had to do ten since I couldn't narrow it down to just one:p

[Bawax]

i'm more into Comedy so i'd say....

Happy Gilmore, lead character was hilarious
Theres something about Mary, scary with all the stalker men but funny all the same
The Mask, i loved it when it first came out but it seems a bit blah now.
and Dogma, i thought it was fantastic.

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah I love The Mask but one of my new favourite comedies has to be Austin Powers in Goldmember. That is HILARIOUS lol roflmao lol

[Nessa]

Comedies! I prefer them low-brow and stupid, thank you. ;) Anything with Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, or Jay and Silent Bob makes it funny, in my opinion. Dogma is brilliant, watched it about an hour ago.

1. The Untouchables

[Daughter of Finarfin]

About two years ago I was bored one day and I wrote a list of my fave films, FOTR, TTT, and ROTK topped the list even though none of them had come out yet.

A lot of you have really good choices! Here are some of mine:
Dogma roflmao
The Usual Suspects
American Beauty (basically most Kevin Spacey movies)
LA Confidential
Mel Brooks movies, especially Robin Hood: Men in Tights lol
Monty Python and the Holy Grail :knight:

Little Women (the Winona Ryder version)
Ocean's 11 (the new one)
Gone With the Wind (what an epic tale)
Citizen Kane

[Little Devil]

No idea wot my fav movie is, but i love:

[Gothmog]

Well picking only one Film a my All-Time favorite is easy.

The Seven Samuri.

It is a truly amazing film. The Hollywood copy The Magnifcent Seven is such a poor copy that I am serprised they had the gall to release it let alone make sequals.
:evilcool:

[Akiba]

I love LOTR but it isn't my fav movie I love horror and kick butt avtion movie and I will always love the Matrix and I also love Gladiator all the fighting and killing and oh yeah so I guess now you can guess most of my favorite movies oh and I love Sleeping Beauty and Mulan

[Elendur]

two of my favourites in
A wonderful Life and
Casablanca
FOTR is def there, but I am hoping that it is going to be displaced by TTT!
I think that the first three Star Wars movies were so ahead of their time .and even today are timeless!
Liked Yojimbo and Sanjiro by Kurosawa also.
Dark City was a great film.
Vertigo
North By North West
High Society
The Philidelphia Story

and many others!

[TheRingBearer]

I love the rush hour films lol

Chris Tucker is great.

[Little Devil]

So funny!!! lol roflmao Love all the Jackie Chan action sequence soooooo cool! He kicks a**! :battle:

[Akiba]

have you seen shanghai noon that movie's pretty funny jackie chan's good in that movie and owen wilson is hilarious

[Pil]

I loved the rush hour movies. They showed it on the plane when we flew to florida last easter....i stayed up till about half four on my 'body-clock' to watch it....only it wasn't that late in american time... :huh: :)

[Bonos-Girl]

i've never seen a rush-hour movie...i haven't seen loadsa films...the only austin powers i've seen is goldmember...

[TheRingBearer]

Goldmember is the best one definatley lol

[Narsil's weilder]

Goldmember was only good because of Mini-Me going good.

[Akiba]

ok don't kill me for this but kinda really don't like Austin Powers movies and I know I might be the only one but they get on my nerves even though they are hilarious

[Daisy Gamgee]

they're hilarous the first time watch and then they just get annoying

[Elendur]

.. the only one who is not an Austin Powers Fan Akiba.. I'm not that fond of them either.. however don't take my word, as I cannot stand Chris Tucker either.. Rush Hour was the only Jackie Chan film that I will never watch again... and I refused to watch part II. Inane humor and stupidity is not really my idea of a good time!

[TheRingBearer]

I saw Goldmember twice in the cinema and during the second time, some jokes were wearing a bit thin but others (mini-me lol ) still cracked me up.

[Akiba]

action movies will always be the best just get in there and kill them all but I liked the rush hour movies love the fast and the furious did I already say that? too lazy to go look

[The Conjuror]

Austin Powers I is soooo much better than the third i didn't understand the whole skin-eating gag didn't find it very funny at all.
One essential film is BASEketball if you haven't seen it, see it, it is superb. ;)
The Rock is amazing and Sean Connery is brilliant as is Nicholas Cage in this and Face/Off and Gone in Sixty Seconds all quality movies.
:thumbs:

[Akiba]

love gone in 60 seconds and the rock haven' seen baseketball those kinds of movies don't really draw my attention all though I do wanna go see Stealing Harvard

[Little Devil]

Austin Powers is good for a laugh, but the ending!!!!! 'He's your brother!' How naff! I loved Minnie me and Dr Evil's song. lol
