El_Presidente

So how about it lads, whats your favorite film.

You can only pick one.

Mines The Shawshank Redemption.


El

mewso

Only one? Aw.

A New Hope.

El_Presidente

A new hope!

Empire Strikes Back is sooo much better.


(I feel an arguement coming


El

Hecate

hehe, hard choice

Have to say Dr. Strangelove tho.

WhiteWashMan

heat was drival
blade was also drival

id have to go for indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark

a classic that has yet to be emulated!

gandalf

Dr. Strangelove is the No.1 by a long shot.

Gandalf.

I don't really have an all time favourite - I've more of a short list.
Leon is definitly up there, Matrix, Shawshank, Empire Strikes Back.

Guys, El_presidente said pick ONE.

LoLth

nnnngggggg just one......

eeehhhhh, the Maltese Falcon. I think.

Matrix and all are visually stunning, but I still think the Maltese falcon is THE classic. (though Lawrence of Arabia, to the mountains of the Moon, Jungle Book, ****in' Bambi, etc would also be considered. Without putting a limit on the type of film - some sort of category system - it's just to difficult to tell).

mewso

Yeah ESB has been touted, wuite rightly, as the superior film but when discussing the greatest film one has ever seen I tend to go for the film that had the most impact on me.
A New Hope blew me away as a six year old in 1977 and started my dreaming. That's why I'm now a dosy ****er

TwoShedsJackson

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

El_Presidente

Oh! Dr Strangelove, intersting choice.

Such a clasic scene with the guy riding the atom bomb (Thats how I wanna go)


"Gentlemen!!, you cant fight in the war room"

Brilliant.

El

Excelsior

whatever about books I cant do this one. at the moment theres a special place in my heart for schindler's list. but i love spielberg, jp, et, private ryan.
i loved the thin red line, that was such an important film for me. (remeber the night we saw that andy?) go! was rocking. shawshank. maltese falcon has a vote to lolth. matrix, star wars, blade and heat.... i think not.
indy and the ark-hmmm. third one was my fav. 2001.
how i stopped worryin and learnt to love the bomb
heavenly creatures
something about mary
python & the holy grail?

It is Schindler's List. I think the scene with the girl in the red coat seals it. I love that movie.

Chaos

Umm HEAT!
or perhaps Blade
or the first Batman even
too many to choose from
o yes and Leon!

John I outa shoot you like a dog in the street.

HEAT however is a clasic. The coffee shop scene alone is worth watching it for.

Canaboid

Sorry about this but.....
True Romance

The only criteria employed in this descision is enjoyment and I enjoyed this more than any other. Damn, now u all hate me.

Hobbes

I would of said Shawshank Redemption.

But for movie I've watched the most times, that would have to be without a doubt "True Romance". Absolutly excellent film.

Only recent movie I've been able to watch over and over is "Something about Mary". Now if you will excuse me I have to go clean the pipes :q

Trojan

Dune.


(Despite only being 3 hours long)

Canaboid

And Grease.

Hecate

Dune(!!!!)

sorry I have to cut in there, Dune has got to be the most dire adaptation of a classic novel EVER made.

The main reason for this is its makers missed out on the chance to produce a brilliant film because of terrible editing and screenlay.

Start a new thread "Worst movies ever"

Trojan

Yes, Dune.

Unfortunately 14 hour long films don't sell very well so they had to remove significant parts of the plot. They still managed to condense an absolute classic of a story into a great film with phenomenal effects when you consider what they had to work with.

Give it to me baby

Al.

Hecate

hehe

yes but that doesnt change the fact that the majority of ppl you talk to will tell you its pants

Trojan

You muppet

You're a majority of one.

Are you a Herbert fan?

Al.

Von

This Is Spinal Tap or ehhh Taxi Driver.

whitetrash

matrix or shawshank defo.

TwoShedsJackson

There's no accounting for taste I suppose
