What's your favourite movie of all time and why. One of my favourites is "Gone with the Wind": I can't say that I liked this movie the first time I saw it; no, I absolutely hated it. I can't say that I liked it the second time I saw it; no, I absolutely loved it. I can't say that I like it any less each time I see it again; no, I love it more every time I see it.

Call me Crazy if you want but I was so impressed by "the six sense" even though it is not my favorite movie it blew me away I didn't see the ending coming at all.
I also agree with hiph0p about "basket ball diaries" that was such a good movie.
I just thought of another one "american history X" loved that one too Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors because of that movie.

I love almost every single movie but my top 5 are : "Wizard of Oz", "Shawshank Redemption", "White Christmas", "Juice" and "The Notebook"
Also the Sixth Sense was one of the first movies that I didn't see the ending coming at all, awesome movie too but once you've seen it I find it hard to watch again because you already know the ending and it's not much of a suprise.

So many people liked the Sixth Sense.....and I completely hated it. But for favorite movies....Starship Troopers, Conan and the Rambo movies. American History X is pretty good. Truly disturbing in parts.....especially during the "curb stomp"

Pretty Woman, and The Green Mile. I own both and have watched both of them many many times.
Shawshank Redemption is an excellent movie too.

Couldn't agree with you more. I loved this movie but that scene was difficult to watch.
I have a long list of favorite movies but if I had to pick a fave I would have to say Life as a House. I also really liked Road to Perdition and Crash (last years oscar winner) was a terrific movie too.

For comedies I love the movie Overboard with Goldie Hawn, but for a more recent movie I love How to lose a guy in 10 days. Funny that it's mother and daughter!

My all time favorite is My Girl. It from the early 90's starring Macaulay Culkin. I have watched it thousands of times and still cry every time.I even named my daughter Vayda. Vada Sultenfuss is the name of the young girl in the movie. I mean I change the spelling didn't want to be to crazy. lol

No movie has ever caught my attention and excited me as much as "THE MATRIX" wow, I finished watching it at 3am and wanted to call people to tell them to watch it. The graphics were so smooth and sleek. It was wild.

I would have to say The Notebook, Trainspotting, Amadeus, and Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring are my top favorite movies. But if I'm in the Christmas mood I really love to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.....I can watch it a hundred times.

First of all Super Troopers I know just about all the words and I'm picking up Beerfest soon that movie was good. I loved American History X, its a thinking movie it requires alot of thought processing, it really affected me. I love The Matrix, its the only one out of the trilogy that I still watch, also all 3 Saw movies and the 2 Pirates Of The Carribean films. Can't belive noone picked the Saw trilogy.....

My favourite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas because it's dark and it's different and I love the story and the characters and the music. I like the idea of changing christmas and giving it a darker aspect.

Our Halloween party this year was based on that movie (I still had my Christmas Tree up and the living room fully decorated). My oldest daughter LOVES it and I think she looks like Sally.

I don't know about ALL TIME, since my favourites do seem to vary every so many years or so, but recent contenders would probably be Ikiru and Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma.

the insider by far. watched it 100 times easy.
scent of a woman
hide and seek - crazy ending
the notebook

the bourne identity movies were pretty good, way better than any bond
apollo 13
the departed

worst movie is 8 mile. i used to love it until i watched it with my girlfriend.she somehow took the fun out of it.lol

I do not think I could ever pick one movie to be my favorite for all time, it changes so often and there are a lot of them. Clerks, I heart Huckabees, The Crow, Interview with the Vampire, Fear and Loathing, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, but I like 2 better. 300 was the first action movie created recently I've seen in a long time that I really liked, so it gets an honorable mention. It has a good story.
lol See I said I couldn't pick....

I know a lot of people raved about 300 but it took a few too many liberties with both the Battle of Thermopylae and the Spartan culture itself for my liking... I preferred The 300 Spartans film from the 60's, which, while still taking a few liberties with history, was more like an actual film and less like a comic book set to film.

I know what you mean because I have a looove of history. I study the most about the French revolution and how it came to be. I also enjoy researching the "sparks" that cause war and what leads up to them. Way off topic I know, but ah well :rofl:
I hardly ever watch new movies I am always disappointed with them. While 300 may not have been accurate I appreciated how there was some continuation. Like he learned in that cave how to kill the beast using his wit when he was overpowered.
And ofcourse...all the Spartan cuties!!!!!!!! just kidding. lol At least there wasn't a lot of naked woman dancing around. As action movies so often rely on the female body for their "money shots".

I forgot to mention Reservoir Dogs. Although I have to hide my eyes when they are torturing the poor cop. I do not like that part :(

Bah, they was just scrawny ladies anyway, heh...
But at least New Brunswick's own Robert Maillet was in 300. That was kinda neat I guess.

If you liked American History X, you ought to see Romper Stomper. Similar subject matter, but being an Australian film, it's not the typical Hollywood approach, and the characters don't necessarily see the error of their ways, much like real people.

Which is always what i like.. I like movies when people dont realize.. it seems more real. I will have to check that out! Thanks!
Also LOVED Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz! WOOT..
The Chamber
Fracture
Silence of the Lambs and all the movies that go with that series!
Love Anthony Hopkins And Gene Hackman
