Favorite movie ever?
Perhaps this subject has been covered - sorry if it has.
My favorite is Tombstone with Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell (listened in order by the quality of performance

- I'm amazed by Kilmer's skills still after the 30th time I've seen the movie).

Pulp Fiction, with Clerks and UHF close behind.

Farenheit 9/11. the creativity alone was breathtaking. and his skill with finding just the right clip...

ok, maybe not.

I have a hard time with this.

i want to say STAR WARS, but i have to say that for a one-time view - The Game drew me in more than any other.

honorable mention? Stir of Echoes, Gladiator, The Godfather.

Probably "Brazil". Pulp Fiction is close.

Contact ("small moves...."),
Tombstone ("oh, I wasn't as quite as sick as I made out..."),
The Crow ("Like a little bitty worm on a big fuckin hook!"),
Braveheart ("The Lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but you're fucked!")
Highlander ("There can be only one!")

Inherit the Wind...no contest.

Recent memory: Monster
All time: Shogun
I hate any movie that follows the same basic plot structure as a 1970's sitcom. Meet The Fockers being the most recent example I sat thru.

THE HOLY FRIGGIN GRAIL

The Great Escape

Basquiat

also:

The Godfather (part 1 and 2 only)

Can't think of any others right now. :/

The Life of Brian

Clodfobble · 05-16-2005, 05:27 PM

Amadeus and Dangerous Liaisons.

I love period pieces with great musical scores.

clodfobble - at first glance i thought you had said Armed and Dangerous . i was a little confused, because that show had a couple of chuckles, but... your post makes more sense when i actually stop and reread it.

Snatch is the one. As much as I want to pick a classic this is the belly laugh abdominizer.
