Favourite films of all time

Inglorious Basterds- suspense, arch humour, in-references, violence, glamour.

My other favourite film is the Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

More modern ones I have enjoyed include Together, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I also enjoy riding my bike and long walks in the country.

Gsoh?

Blade Runner - no contest.

which version?

One of them is on now, Sin City

One of them is on now, Sin City

Seriously, one of your favourites?...

what do you think about Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, both ... together in Righteous Kill?

Watched it earlier today. I thought it was fairly good. Average dialoge and characters, but the story and twist was great!

Dirty Harry
Italian Job
Barbarella
Klute

I like the way its made.

and Jessica Alba

Diva

classic movie, that one.
Also, Jules et Jim.

25th Hour (Spike Lee + Ed Norton = WIN)

Serious: Y Tu Mama Tambien; The Edukators; Matrix
Fun: The Princess Bride; V for Vendetta; A Fish Called Wanda

So glad someone Picked up on The Princess Bride - Have you read the novelised version as well?

otherwise
1.brighton rock
2.play it again sam.
3.Aguirre the wrath of god.

Aguirre is definitely up there for me - have you seen any more of the Herzog/Kinski collection? My personal favorites are 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'My Best Fiend'; such an incredible partnership, the ending with Kinski and the butterfly crushed me.

Der Himmel über Berlin

This film blew me away about four years ago and I've been too scared to watch it again since.

I'm sorry for such a long list - it doesn't credit these titles with the individuality needed to modestly name that which such deserved recognition demands. Nevertheless, the peak of my boundless love for film:

Hobson's Choice (David Lean amazed me)
12 Angry Men (This belongs in a list on it's own)
Angel-A (Epic)
Frida Kahlo
Vertigo
Fitzcarraldo
Wings of Desire

Amores perros
The Enigma of Kasper Hauser
Wild Strawberries
The Seventh Seal (infact, any Bergman - He's a fucking hero)
La vita e bella
Cinema Paradiso
Fanny och Alexander
The 400 Blows
Jules et Jim
Into The Wild
Battle Royale
Rurouni kenshin OVA
any Studio Ghibli
Some Like it Hot
Y tu mama tambien
Ocean's Eleven (The rat pack original)
Paris Je T'aime
Secret Window (arguable Johnny Depp's best film under the guidance of Stephen King)
Thicker Than Water
The Squid and the Whale
The Believer (Gosling at his best)
Ask The Dust (Pretty terrible film but you get to openly admire Salma Hayeks breasticles in the fine ocean scene)
Living In Obivion (Please tell me someone else loves this)
Buffalo 66
The Diving Bell and Butterfly
Vanilla Sky
Dreams, The Bad Sleep Well, Ran and Seven Samurai (top of my Kurosawa list films)

they live is quality.
as a yoot, with aspirations of being a filmaker i wanted re-make they live as i thought it was too cheezey, too cliche and to low budget.

oh what little i knew.. full of fantastic quotes and casting rowdy roddy piper was genius.

Also, Jules et Jim.

I hated that film so much. However I love Baisers Voles.

Great soundtrack too:

Inglorious Basterds- suspense, arch humour, in-references, violence, glamour.

Made it onto my list of favourite films of all time for sure, in no particular order:

The Departed
Natural born killers
Pulp Fiction
Terminator 2
Blade Runner
Inglourious Basterds
Training Day

I'm sure there are others but I can't remember them right now

Just watched Aliens for the first time in months again, gotta be one of the best sequels ever (Only films I can think of are that, Kill Bill {cue the mass disagreement} and The Godfather Part II that were better than the originals).

T2: Judgement Day

"Hey, how's Wolfie don'tchaknow?"

Still prefer the first one, I think it's Linda Hamilton's Bon Jovi hairstyle that does it for me.

The Departed

One of the only Hollywood remakes I've enjoyed and quite surprisingly the film that got Scorsese his first and only Oscar.. Still, not as good as the Infernal Affairs series it's based on.

Still prefer the first one, I think it's Linda Hamilton's Bon Jovi hairstyle that does it for me.

Me too, but T2 is still one of the great sequels.

He'll find her! That's what he does! It's ALL he does! You can't stop him! He'll wait for you! He'll reach down her throat and tear her fuckin' heart out!
