Maddie The Survivor Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) So, I don’t really know if someone has already made a thread about this, if someone has, than let me know! so basically, I was thinking, and I am genuinely curious to see what your guy’s favorite movies are. Soyou will just list your top 5 favorite movies (no tv shows or movies series) you can also list your reasons why. here are mine: 1. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. As a Star Wars fan, this seems pretty typical, I do know a lot of people who like Empire Strikes Back. But I really enjoyed this movie, even in my childhood, growing up with parents who are Star Wars Fanatics gets you watching these movies at a young age. Even when I was seven, I would always be watching this movie. I love the plot and it genuinely made me cry. 2. To Kill a Mockingbird. this movie is just incredible, (I have not had the pleasure to read the book yet) I really think it just inspires you to be a better person, the plot itself is incredible. I really can’t think of a good word to describe it, if you have seen it, then you may know what I’m talking about. It is definitely my favorite really old movie. 3. A Quiet Place. I find this movie thrilling! I can’t not watch it and still jump at the jump scares. I really like how John Krasinski directed it. 4. Shrek. You can’t not love this movie. It is one of the few movies I can watch multiple times in a certain time period. It is just really funny and I like how they added Smash Mouth songs. It is just one of those movies that just about everyone loves. 5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. I really love the books don’t get me wrong, but I think this movie is close to being just as good. I love this movie! It has made me cry in both tears of happiness and tears of sorrow. I really love part 2 because it has most of the major event, which I will not list for spoilerly reasons. I really love this movie! Yeah, those are my top 5 favorite movies. If you haven’t seen any of them, I highly recommend! I can’t wait to see what you guys have!

danex Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 1. Interstellar everything else is so far below it that it almost isn't worth listing the rest but... 2. Primer 3. Wall-E 4. LOTR 5. Rouge One This isn't a very comprehensive list, as I tried to not have too many things that felt like duplicates. (only one Christopher Nolan movie, only one Pixar movie, only one time travel movie, only one star wars movie etc.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 This isn't in any particular order, but: Interstellar Cinderella (2015) Lord of the Rings (It's just one really long movie, right?) Captain America: The Winter Soldier Dune (2021) My top five is pretty undefined, but if I just wanted to chill and hangout with someone, one of these would probably my go to, if I didn't feel up to watching something new. The Chronicles of Narnia are also pretty high up on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eluvianii Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Crap, I'd struggle with a top 20. Let's see: 1. Millennium Actress. 2. When Marnie was There. 3. Interstellar. 4. 5 Centimeters per Second. 5. Wolf Children. Everything under number 1 is in no particular order. I have one favorite movie and a gazillion second favorites. I just chose a few I'm fond of, without repeating directors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Fun topic! 1. John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China. So good, on so many levels. 2. The Magician, the 1958 film directed by Igmar Bergman, starring Max Van Sydow. The attic scene with Von Sydow walking alternately in complete blackness and pools of light is one of the best scenes in any film. The trailer spoilered below has a cheesy voice over, but you can see what a visually remarkable movie this is. Spoiler 3. Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo and the western remake of it, A Fistfull of Dollars. I like a Fistful of Dollars better, but just a tiny bit more. 4. Pee Wee's Big Adventure. A Modern retelling of the Odyssey. Spoiler Is there something you'd like to share with the rest with rest of us Amazing Larry? 5. The Terry Gilliam 1989 Adventures of Baron Munchausen. A comically absurd fairytale, visually beautiful and just a fun movie. Check out how close to the Gustave Dore illustrations Gilliam cast the role of the Baron: Edited March 20, 2022 by Hoiditthroughthegrapevine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 1. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World I can't really describe why I love this movie so much, as to call it my favorite movie of all time. The humor, design and action is just perfect for me. That is just a joy to watch and I have the biggest crush on Ramona. 2. LoTR I know it's a trilogy, feel free to report me to the mods for breaking the rules This story is just amazing, the way it's shown gives me chills every time I watch it... and I watch it at least once a year. 3. Kingdom of Heaven I just love stories where heroes go from zero to hero and in this case, it's just perfect execution of this trope. Also, Eva Green is just too beautiful, the rest of the cast is also amazing and I will always see Jeremy Irons from this movie as my Dalinar. 4. Atlantis: The Lost Empire A Disney cartoon that I just fell in love with when I was a kid. I love Milo and his dorkiness and the whole crew. The visuals of Atlantis are also really impressive. 5. Bridge to Terabithia Because sometimes I just feel like crying and suffering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treamayne Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) In no particular order (mostly because I don't plan to reorder them as I think of them): Clue - Classic comedy at its finest with a huge all-star cast (for the 80s). Also, for those of us old enough to remember, how can you not love a movie audacious enough to make three separate endings without telling anybody - so the ending you saw was different per theater (sometimes per "screen" as I first saw this at a 15 screen theater outside Detroit and two of the showings had different endings). Now, on DVD, you can choose "random ending" or "all three" - where "all three" will show Ending 1, then pop up an old style "silent movie" placard saying "That's how it might have been, but it could have happened like this" - cue ending 2, followed by "But it really happened like this" - and finally ending three. Much Ado About Nothing - Speaking of stealth all-star casts. I firmly beleive this is the best Shakespearean adapatation ever. Especially when one considers it was filmed as basically a week-long party. Branagh had the cast come to Italy (I think it was his estate - but I can't find that interview anymore) and basically said "actors playing for actors" - lets just do this outside in whatever we can find. So, lots of sun, lots of laughs and just a great film. Red - Here's the thing about Bruce Willis comedies - if he's trying to be funny, it's awful (The Whole Nine Yards); but when he's the straight man and people are funny around him, it's epic. TVTropes says it best - much can be forgiven of any film with Helen Mirren manning a .50 cal machine gun. Sure, the action is over-the-top (it's meant to be) like the scene stepping out of a car doing a donut in the middle of the road - but that's part of the epicness. And Malkovich just shines. Dead Poet's Society - In all the great Robin Williams' dramas, if I can only choose one I have to go with the movie that Robin used to prove that he can do more than just comedy. Content, timing, everything about this film was awesome, and without it we would never have gotten to see films like Good Will Hunting, What Dreams May Come, Etc. Transformers The Movie - Anybody born after the 80s cannot appreciate how much this film changed animation. All Star cast? First to do that. Consequences of violence? First to do that (any Gen Xer that saw this in the theater will likely admit to crying at the Death of Optimus Prime - protagonist death was unheard of in Animation before this - especially before the climax). Swearing in theater-released Animation* - First to do that (and get the VHS released censored in the US - I had to buy mine in Canada to get the uncensored film). Orson Wells, Robert Stack, Leonard Nimoy - just everything about this film was awesome (and why any fan of the originals despises BeyFormers) *Not including Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty that used words only considered cursing after-the-fact ("jackass" to mean donkey in the former, and "hell" in reference to the Christian location in the latter) Edited October 23, 2023 by Treamayne SPAG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celerrima Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Oh this is a fun list. The original Transformers movie is the most high-effort casting I have ever heard of from any animation. Some of the Ghibli dubs come close I guess, but Orson Welles?? I saw Clue on DVD as a kid and really enjoyed the multiple endings bit. Am now a huge Agatha Christie fan. I don't actually remember much of the movie though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Isochronism Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Current list: (In no particular order) Dune (2021) Spider-man Across the Spider Verse OR Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse Knives Out OR Glass Onion Thor Ragnarok OR Guardians of the Galaxy The Incredibles (Subject to change depending on my mood) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenclawjedi42 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 List in no particular order: Arrival The Princess Bride Princess Mononoke Return of the Jedi Rogue One It seems I like Star Wars and movies that have the word princess in the titles but aren’t actually about princesses (Princess Mononoke was just Lady Eboshi’s nickname for San and in the book Buttercup is made a Princess of Hammersmith but that was taken out of the movie, and she never legally married Humperdinck). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Lover Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 1. Star Wars: The Original Trilogy 2. Back to the Future Trilogy 3. Spiderman: Tom Holland Trilogy 4. Star Wars: The Prequels 5. Interstellar Sorry, I had to do it by Trilogy pretty much because all of the movies in said Trilogy were almost equally as good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Honorable One Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 In no particular order: The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (I like all of them, but the 3rd is my favorite) Interstellar Star Wars: All of them (except Solo. Also, the sequels aren't as good as the others, but they are still decent) Dune The Princess Bride 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
