Your Favorite Movie.
Something for fun.
What is your ALL TIME favorite movie? The one that has consistantly sat at the top of your short list. And tell us why. Only name one movie, we don't want any lists. One movie and your reason for liking it so much. I'll get us started.
The Good The Bad And The Ugly - 1966
The greatest "guy" movie ever made. It was the movie I subjected my future wife to while we were dating. I felt like, if she could get through this whole movie without complaining once...she's the girl for me. She was a trooper and made it all the way through. We've been married 8 1/2 years. To appreciate this movie, you have got to see it for what it is. It's not just a "spaghetti western" as it's sometimes been tagged. The movie was funded by the Italian government and is considered Sergio Leone's finest work. Ennio Moriconne (the great Italian composer) scored the music and the signature song which is one of the most recognized songs by a composer. Everything from the extreme close-ups to the amazing cinematography and the fantastic performances by Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef make this epic western one of the greatest achievements in motion picture history.

Theres Something About Mary.
One of the greatest funny movies in my opinion. Soo many quotes came from it.
"Franks and beans!"
"How did you get the zipper all the way to the top?!"
"How did you get the beans above the frank?"
"He was masturbating!"
"Have you seen my baseball?"
"Have you seen my weiner?"
"You choke the chicken before any big date don't you? Tell me you spank the monkey before any big date. Oh my God he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big date. Are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun! "

I love many of the aforementioned, but since I work in an office I MUST shout out "Office Space". Never has a movie been so true to my own experiences and so funny too.
I also have to add the Dirty Harry series. Clint was the MAN. I say was since Samuel Jackson is now "The MAN".Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

It's either Two Lane Blacktop or THX1138... I can't decide. Of course, Mulholland Drive is damn good too. Oh, or 2001.
BTW, I actually think For a few dollars more is better than TGTBATU as a film.Last edited by trapin; 12-09-2005 at 12:04 PM.

You could make a strong arguement for that one. That WAS also a great film as was Fist Full Of Dollars. Originally Posted by DarkBuddha

way too hard to Pick a single favorite, but here are two that are real close to being A1.
Dark City low key, film noir, feels like a 1930's crime dective movie.
When i was younger I pretty much had the movie Vacation memorized...

Donnie Darko is an amazing flick. Originally Posted by vanzuuk1

Any of the Star Wars will suffice really, but that one is the greatest. It warrants no explanation.

Tell them! Tell them they must see Donnie Darko!
I lent it to an anonymous friend (James Banahan) and he called me in a state of turmoil after viewing it. The movie will mess with your head.

Tombstone.....
I would have to say Tombstone.....there were so many good quotes that came out of that movie as well. And more main stream actors than 1 could count. "en vino veratas", "I,m your huckleberry", "say when", "you tell him im comming and hells comming with me", "why Johnny you look like someone just walked over your grave", "alright lunger let's do it" "Make no mistake its not revenge hes after its the reckoning"................

I used to be a HUGE Star Wars fan. I had literally HUNDREDS of the freggin toys. Speilberg just blew it all for me with all the re-vamps and the crappy 1-3's. I am officially done with it. The toys are gone and I am no longer a Star Wars geek. Ruined. Do I sound bitter?
My absolute, and in my opinion, funniest movie EVER made...Pink Panther Strikes Again. I was gonna say Dumb and Dumber, but I think PP takes it.
Both in THICK German accents:
Sellers: Doest your dog bite?
Inn Keeper: No
<Sellers reaches down to touch the dog and it about rips his hand off>
Sellers: I thought you said your dog does not bite.
Inn Keeper: Zat ist not my dog.
Too damn funny.Last edited by Kuhlryde; 12-09-2005 at 02:02 PM.

Or when he is trying to get in the castle. And finally does it as the dentist. The melting nose. Ahhh the memories. Most of the PP movies were hilarious. Cato was friggin hilarious. Of course his character would no longer be considered PC! Originally Posted by Kuhlryde
