Favorite Movies

What are some of your favorite movies of all time? I use to collect movies like they were going extinct, but I've gotten rid of a lot of them over the last couple years. I still own a good (not all of them are good) 1,000 or so on DVD and Blu Ray. Any body else a movie buff? Any favorites or preferred genre?

The Royal Tenenbaums is my favorite movie. Notable mentions are Lost in Translation, Donnie Darko, The Darjeeling Limited, Rushmore, Raiders of the Lost Ark, On the Waterfront and too many others.

I find myself drawn to film noir and dark comedies.

I love Lost in Translation....

Dancer in the Dark is mad depressing, but still up there in the list...

I have too many faves.... Clueless, Transformers 2, Mean Girls, La Misma Luna, Sin Nombre, Spirited Away, Bridesmaids, Captain Ron, Home Alone 2, Wizard of Oz, bunch of Disney Movies, yadda yadda yadda

I'm gonna have to give it to "Aliens", although "Rain Man" is up there as well.

The Emperor's New Groove.

Eyes Wide Shut, Barton Fink, and Star Wars Episode IV

I could list too many. Today, I feel like watching Taken most.

Tons, but those that come to mind at the moment -

Big Trouble in Little China
Original Indiana Jones trilogy
Original Star Wars trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy (i guess the hobbit too)
Aliens and Predator/Predators
Stardust
The Princess Bride
The Fifth Element
The Man With No Name Trilogy
Chuck Bronson movies that aren't Death Wish

uhhh that's about it for now.

i have advent children on dvd and blu ray in special edition

To mention just a few:

- Jurassic Park
- Hook
- Bram Stoker's Dracula
- Children of Men
- Stardust

I forgot I created this and forgot to respond. This topic is too broad and hard. I like a zilllion movies, but since I just watched Mystic River I'll name that as one of my favorites. The same story could have been told with lesser actors and it wouldn't have worked at all, but the acting on this movie is so superb it just makes for one hell of a drama.

-Boondock Saints
-Serenity
-The Princess Bride
-Robin Hood: Men In Tights
and
-Anything by Studio Ghibli

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II - the epitome of excellence in cinema in writing, acting, and directing
Jurassic Park - great blend of action, suspense, and Ian Malcom wisecracks, also dinosaurs
Star Wars original trilogy - greatest sci-fi adventure of all time
Lord of the Rings trilogy - greatest fantasy adventure of all time
Die Hard - greatest action movie of all time (the others in the series, except the most recent one, are pretty great too)
The Big Lebowski - this is my pick for the best comedy, but it may not be as funny to those who have never lived in Los Angeles
Raiders of the Lost Ark - awesome action and adventure with some cool mythology as well

Asking me what my favorite movies are is like asking me to type out War and Peace. Some of my favorite movies in no particular order are Pan's Labyrinth, The Green Mile, The Graduate, Children of Men, Heathers, Reality Bites, Jurassic Park, A Clockwork Orange, Amelie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men (or rather any Coen Brothers film except Fargo and that one with Matt Damon), Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, any Hayao Miyazaki film, and Up.

Moon. A small, but beautiful sci-fi drama.

And a good many of films Shiny posted above.
