This thread discusses both current movies and your favorite movies. NO SPOILERS!

The last movie I saw was over a year ago. I saw The Hangover and it was quite funny.

My favorite movies (at least that I remember ATM)

• The Matrix
  
• Army of Darkness
  
• Legend
  
• Garden State
  
• Romeo and Juliet (Franco Zeffirelli 1968)
  
• 12 Monkeys

Last movie I saw was a Japanese one because a young actress I like had a scene in it LOL 博士の愛した数式(hakase no ai shita suushiki) it is about a teacher

fav movies:

-Underworld and its se-prequels
-Fiddler on the Roof
-Chicago
-Singing in the rain

Underworld and UW: Evolution were great. I haven't seen the third one yet. It looks like a fourth one will be released in 2012

Rise of the Lycans is *technically* a prequel. It was pretty good.


Some of my favorite movies:
-The 10th Kingdom
-Star Wars (etc)
-The Hunt for Red October
-Silence of the Lambs
-Indiana Jones (etc)
-Sleepers

I like Star Wars, but only the old ones. Sorry, Jar-Jar

Oh, well, I'll give you that one. I despised Jar-Jar. My friends and I used to play "101 Ways to Kill a Gungan" all the time. It was awesome.

it would be impossible to list favorite movies, i'd be listing about 200. the ones i've been watching a lot lately have been:

-300
-Barry Lyndon (recommended to anyone who loves period pieces, just a beautiful movie)
-Stranger Than Fiction
-The Third Man (an underrated classic)
-Glory
-Red Dragon
-Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead
-12 Angry Men (Henry Fonda version)
-The Prestige
-A River Runs Through It
-Sleepy Hollow

I'll stop there for now =p

Scary Movies and the sequels (Epic Movie etc)

And then movies such as Harry Potters and Narnia (= fantasy movies based on books) are great. Not to mention old Disney Movies ( particularly the Lion King)

-The Fifth Element.
-I, Robot
-I am Legend
-Schindlers List
-Dead Poet Society
-V for Vendetta
-Pulp Fiction
-Good Will Hunting
-Goodmorning Vietnam
-Rain Man
-Inglorious bastards

..... Sorry >////< I really kinda like movies~... I'll stop now...

-Leon
-Killbill Vol.1 and 2
-9
-Nightmare before christmas...


OKAY! okay, I'll shut up now ; ;... geez...

Edit:
-American History X
-Fight Club

@Bill
Yeah, Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead were great, so was 300

@Lumikki
Lion isn't that old, is it? I must seem really old then, haha...

@Kaito
Fight Club, The Fifth Element, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction

so many good ones I'm forgetting...

those last two are awesome. im still upset when i run into someone that has never seen american history x. tho to most ppl when i tell them the premise it automatically turns them off.

kaito, pretty much loved everything on your list there.

btw there better not be any significance to having Leon right before KillBill...you're not trying to send some message are you? O.o

just so you know....I'M NOT SCARED!!! *puffs out chest*...

*twig breaks*...."AHHH WHAT WAS THAT?!!" *runs*

@Lotus

It's over 10 years old movie so it's old. =D

No was just looking at the dvd collection >///<

Rise of the lycans was pretty good explaining the story before Selene though not Kate Beckinsale... the forth movie is a sequel to Underworld Evolution and I can't waiiiiiitt because Kate is going to be thereeeee

Can't say I watch a terrible amount of films but if I had to make a list

1. Snatch
2. Fight Club
3. Donnie Darko
4. Schindlers List
5. The Prestige

@Bill

Yay for 300! I think it is the only Hollywood movie based on Greek history that I loved so much! I went to watch it 2 times in the cinema! Everyone was applausing at the end, it was so fun! ^^

@justice

yeah 300 was awesome (maybe not historically accurate, but who cares)

after straining my eyes to see the rest of your list (kidding)...i realized...HOW COULD I FORGET GATTACA?!! one of the best sci-fi movies ever OMG, i feel like an idiot

also loved that version of Count of Monte Cristo and Big Fish and Fight Club (mentioned a few times)...well most of your list i'm all about.

i guess i need to see the other Underworld movies (only saw the first so far and enjoyed it thoroughly) if they're so highly recommended here with all of your guys badass taste i already know you have ^_^

lol and i just noticed i had accidentally mispelled my fav movie.. shame on moi! xP

Yeah, Gattaca is EPIC and I know epic sounds lame but I don't care, cause Gattaca is EPIC, period. xP
If you haven't watched Equilibrium yet, be sure to check it out. An equally strong sci-fi movie, with political, cultural, and so many other symblisms thrown throughout. It's my 2nd most fav movie and for a good reason. I have done a project on it for my university, same goes with Gattaca ofc and also The Cube.

I like movies that you have to find out about hidden messages inside the frames. In Equilibrium for example, every still frame is full of symbolisms. Freakin' amazing!

I didn't like Underworld movies so much when I first saw the first two. The story didn't draw me in, but I loved the gloomy gothic atmosphere, so maybe I must check them out again now, after all those years my taste has surely changed.

@justice

i will def catch Equilibrium on your recommendation, esp with the underlying themes you mentioned (the best thing about GOOD sci-fi movies)

i should also mention Children of Men, great story (i'm always drawn to end of the world stuff, idk why), better acting, cinematography is amazing too.
