Favorite Movie Thread

[pahiker6]

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned; my all time fave:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Tuco is my favorite movie character all time.

Duh... of course Office Space. Here's one you all love and are forgetting about... The Shawshank Redemption. If you don't like that movie, you're far to lame for words.

Shawshank reminds me that The Green Mile and Life are both great prison movies.

 

[Bobby_M]

Speaking of prison, how about Escape from Alcatraz!! Awesome Eastwood flick.

 

[John Beere]

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters - I would encourage everyone who grew up anywhere near an arcade to watch it.

 

[Fingers]

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Far and Away

 

[EdWort]

On a similar note, Waiting is a great movie if you have ever worked in a restaurant.

I never send food back after that movie.

 

[sdhucks7]

Snatch
Blues Brothers
Blazing Saddles
Escape from New York (its just cool)
Friday
Boyz N tha Hood
Just to name a few.

I have never sent food back after having worked in a restaurant. The movie just emphasized the point.

Snatch

Excellent choice! I'd add Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels because those movies each make me think of the other one. I'm never satisfied until I've watched both.

 

[Revvy]

In no particular order (I tend to lean towards the Classics)

Casablanca
The Quiet Man
To Have and Have Not
The African Queen
Key Largo
The Replacements (Guilty Pleasure- Great Football Buddy Flick despite Keenau Reeves)

These are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

 

[Tankard]

Off the top of my head

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Seven
Fight Club
Shawshank Redemption
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
American Beauty
300

happy gilmore
office space
james bond - the living daylights

probably another 10 I cant remember right now.

Trainspotting.

That was the most difficult yet, captivating book I have ever read. The translation glossary is nearly as thick as the plot. The movie just ruined it for me. The toilet scene wasn't near as vivid in my mind as it was on film. Feck THAT!

 

[Kauai_Kahuna]

Since most of them have been mentioned, I will do a +1 on office space. Anyone living in a cubicle for 1/3 of their life has to relate to that.

Old School - I did not see anyone mention it, if you have not seen it, you should. Frank the tank.

 

[BeavBrew]

Most of my faves have already been mentioned, but I also enjoy

1. National Lampoon's Vacation
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4. The Exorcist
5. Full Metal Jacket

I watch each of these at least once per year.

 

[Bobby_M]

Clerks
Mallrats
Chasing Amy
Dogma
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Kevin Smith marathon tonight.

Kevin Smith fanboy huh.. Clerks did something for me the first couple times I watched. Maybe it was the fact that my aunt lived in Leonardo, NJ forever. Watching it again just reminds me of how uncomfortable the dialog sounds. It might have sounded clever on the written page but it doesn't translate well.

I LOVE Mallrats and what made me a huge Jason Lee fan but I can't stand the other movies.

It took a month of renting Clerks to watch it and it was awesome. I've watched every Kevin Smith movie except Jersey Girl about 100 times. When work is slow we have conversations like they have. Just never get tired of it.

 

[HBRunner]

I didn't see Predator on anyone's list.....

Remember the part when they go to the flea market that used to be on Route 1 in Edison? Its now the massive Loew's theater flanked by Famous Dave's...

Saving Private Ryan...near the end of the movie when they're waiting for the Germans, guarding the bridge and all you hear is the Tiger rolling toward them in the distance...I still get goosebumps watching that. Also, not really a movie but still worth mention is Band of Brothers.

Movies that I can watch over and over (and drive my wife nuts)...
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon 1, 2 or 3
Caddyshack
Back to the Future
