Favorite Movies

<< < (2/12) > >>

Yoc:
Great topic guys!
I'll have to add my own strange choices sometime.
#1 - Harold and Maude (loved Cat Stevens music ever since)
#2 - The Warriors
#3 - Rollerball

Not the best ever but very re-watchable.

When pushed and asked to name my three favorite movies of all time (I can't narrow it down to just one), my stock answer is normally:

Blade Runner
Fantasia
Schinder's List

I can't watch Schindler's List very often; but I think the last scene is quite possibly the most powerful sequence ever put on film; I can tear up just thinking about it.

Fantasia is just a sentimental favorite; I no longer think it's Disney's or animation in general's finest moment.  But it really is still amazing in its own way.

Blade Runner is a classic example of a good book becoming a GREAT movie.  (Great books can sometimes become Good movies.  Good books can sometimes become Great movies.  A Great book rarely becomes a Great movie; I can think of only 3 exceptions on my personal list.  Although I do sometimes waffle on Princess Bride as a 4th.)  I think I've seen Blade Runner more times than any other movie in the theater; I've caught every revival I've heard of in time.  So I've seen it on the big screen at least 8 times; in at least 3 different versions.  And each edit has just gotten better; it's the only movie I've bought the super-duper DVD gift set overkill special on.

I have 1'000 of movies though most of them are on video tape which is going to be something of a problem for me in years to come.

Favorites ? now your asking, lets see now in age order only.

The Invisible Man

Bride of Frankenstein

Adventures of Robin Hood

Casablanca

For A Few Dollars More

Good The Bad and The Ugly

Planet of the Apes

Angel Angel Down We Go

American Graffiti

Grease

The Blues Brothers

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan

Bit of an odd selection and no 'comic book' films lncluded although I do have most of the main releases of the passed 30 years on tape or disc of which I think the first two Superman movies and Rocketeer are the ones I've looked at the most.

I have to add "Plan 9 from Outer Space" & "Young Frankenstein" to my list of favorite movies.  Never fails, I always forget something ... must be getting old!  And yes, I said "Plan 9".  It's awesomely bad, plus it's got Tor Johnson.

Blues Brothers & Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan are up there for me, but I have to be in a certain mood to watch them.

Once Upon a Time in the West
Thunderball
Rocky
The Truman Show
The Rocky Horror Picture Show

There are bound to be more, but that's off the top of my head.
