Anyways, favorite movies. Do documentaries count?:
Abandoned.
Shrek 1.
V for vendetta.
Harry Potter series.
Irish Jam.
Saw series.
Pan's Labyrinth.
Hannibal rising.
The God who wasn't there.
[glow=red]Rush hour (Can't wait till the next one!)
[/glow]
(Jackie Chan) Twin Dragons.
And some more that I'm sure that I like, I just can't quite remember them at the moment.
I just remembered two more, so I thought that I should edit my post to add them in.
Ali G In Da House.
Borat.

LOL! Yeah, that byline under my Mod thingy is laetus' doing. I'm not sure how to change it to something less South Parky.
I was hoping to have, "Kneel before Zod!" or something like that.
Momma, you reminded me of a couple more favorites, as Moonstruck, Goodfellas, and Bourne are on my list of greats. Also, as much as I shouldn't admit the following:
Valley Girl
Anything that Ray Harryhausen took part in
McClintock
Bullitt
The Great Escape

Yup, The Great Escape is another great one. Oh, how about The Dirty Dozen! I haven't seen that in years...time to watch it again. Hubby loves WWII movies so I'm sure he won't mind sitting through it again.
I had to look up Ray Harryhausen on IMDb. Clash of the Titans was amazing when it came out, but now it just makes me laugh. Special effects sure have come a long way since then.

OH MAN!!!! How could I have left out The Dirty Dozen???!!!
That's going in the DVD player tonight!
You make me so hot when you talk Dirty Dozen! :lol:
Ray Harryhausen's stuff is some good, some not so good, but he was so original and for his time, he did great things in movies. I think his best might be Jason and The Argonauts. When I was a kid that movie scared the crap out of me. Dreamed of skeletons, and gigantic bronze statues chasing me around!

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is a good, fairly obscure film.
South Park: BLU, and Team America: World Police is a sweet duo.
Another obscure one is Topsy-Turvy. It's about Gilbert and Sullivan, but it's not a musical. Of course, there are scenes from their musicals and some rehersals, so that's a plus or minus depending on your perspecitve.
Super Troopers
Unforgiven
Pulp Fiction
Krull
Papillon
Zoolander

We really have similar taste in movies. The Princess Bride is something that I can watch again and again. It never gets old. And Groundhog Day is excellent. It does however, have the effect of making me really dislike, "I Got You, Babe".

Princess Bride
A Fish Called Wanda
The Gods Must Be Crazy (awesome)
Dune
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (monkeyboy!)

Flight of the Intruder (Vietnam, A-6 pilots)
Rob Roy (Liam Neeson, Scottish highlander-type dude)
Ben-Hur

And, it's not really a movie, but HBO's "Band of Brothers"
Oh, also, the Nova show "Secrets of Lost Empires II" episode "Medieval Siege" where they build the full-size trebuchets and fire limestone balls at a mock castle wall. Sweet!

A Clockwork Orange
The Producers (the original, not the AWFUL musical version)
Love and Death
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Dr. Strangelove
Any of the Clouseau movies with Peter Sellers
Almost any of the Marx Bros.' films
On the Waterfront
A Streetcar Named Desire
Sid and Nancy
Branagh's version of Hamlet
Most of Ingmar Berman's '50s and 60s films (and a couple of 70s ones)
And about a million more; the recent ones don't immediately come to mind, for some reason.

Hey Momma!
Joss got the shaft as per usual from FOX. The ratings for Firefly were lukewarm because Fox kept changing its time slot and days that it was on. They sabotaged it. Too bad...it was one of the best shows to have ever come down the pipe.
As to where I've been...work, twins, injured wife, web site development, and a sense of utter futility fighting fundies left me with a much needed break from forums.
I should be checking in a bit more often =)

I saw "Once Were Warriors". I liked it - it was intense. Man, that guy drank enough for the two of us....
When I saw the new Star Wars movies I kept thinking I remembered Jango Fett's face from something else I saw. Turns out it was "Once Were Warriors".

I think they do. It was on Bravo or A&E last week, so I set up the DVR to record it.
EDIT: Just checked. They have it here (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Once_Were_Warriors/60029787?strkid=1079066705_11_0).
Let me know when you see it, I'm interested in your critique.

But you'll be missing out on some great original soundtracks.
Peter Greenaway's films are fantastic. Especially The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (revenger/drama/cannibalistic mayhem) and Drowning By Numbers (don't really know quite how to describe this one).
Otherwise, here's a list of my favourites:
A Clockwork Orange
The Long Good Friday
The Krays
Get Carter (original)
The Italian Job (original, again)
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Silence of the Lambs
Hannibal
Shaun of the Dead
Love, Honour & Obey
Alien (this film is very nostalgic for me, though I don't like any of the sequels)
Straw Dogs
One Hour Photo
Akira
Takashi Miike's Ichi the Killer
Quadrophenia
and it goes on.

I know it's been a while, but I finally watched that movie MikeyV and SteveS recommended--Once Were Warriors.
It was great...intense, sad, disturbing, thought-provoking, and very real. I related to the characters on many levels. Thanks for recommending it.

Any other foreign film lovers out there?
The Lives of Others, Reconstruction, Motorcycle Diaries, A Very Long Engagement, Camille Claudel, Facing Windows, The Barbarian Invasions, L'Augerge Espanogle, Russian Dolls, Goodbye Lenin, The Story of the Weeping Camel, Amelie, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
I also have a thing for well made documentaries, "The End of Suburbia" being my most recent favorite.
Oh, and Anne of Green Gables. :oops:

Really....no

The most foreign I have been able to relate to was Babel. Which I still couldnt really. It was really well put together and what not, I just didnt care for it.

The really good non-American films are difficult to find without effort because they tend not to get the same media coverage. The one's that get media coverage are the ones trying to aim themselves at American audiences, cuz that's where the money's at. These films tend to be crap. Also, a lot of popular American films are remakes of obscure foreign films. Classic example: Star Wars is a remake (rip off) of a Japanese film called Hidden Fortress. Similarly, a whole lot of westerns are remakes of Japanese samurai films.
Speaking of which, the Japanese are great with movies. Takashi Miike is God:

And then there's Bollywood... which is always good so long as you spark up a fat one before hand.

Quote from: "tacoma_kyle"Really....no :) It helps tremendously to watch foreign films on the big screen so you can read the subtitles easily and still see what the actors are doing. *note* Do NOT attempt to eat in bed while watching a foreign or you will be doing a lot of laundry the next day. :wink:
As for American made movies, I loved 12 Monkeys, Traffic, Syriana, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Somewhere in Time, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, When Harry Met Sally, most of the John Hughes movies. : D
And "Touching the Void" was probably the best docudrama I have ever seen.
