Mine is The Godfather or Goodfellas. Gangster films are probably my favourite genre of film.

Waaa, thats almost like asking me about a favourite game. I don' t think I can pick an ultimate fave but the movie I seem to remember enjoying the most is The Crow. It' s one of the few movies I' ve sat through many times and still enjoy it. It' s a shame that the second Crow film sucked so much. The third one has only just been released over here, going straight to DVD. I' ve not seen it yet and even though Kirstin Dunst is in it I' m a bit wary. Apparently there' s a big budged 4th Crow movie due out sometime [:' (]

The Crow is an amazing film, it' s one of those films you can just watch over and over again. I made the mistake of buying The Crow 2 : City of Angels.
I heard Rob Zombie is supposed to be writting the script for a new Crow film.

You could just list one you like at the moment. The Crow is a great film but it' s not exclusively my most favourite film

At the moment I am in a " love stinks" mood. So I would be inclined to select either " Bridgette Jone' s Diary" or " 10 things I hate about you" as the fav of the hour.

Most of Sam Raimi' s stuff: He knows how to direct his stuff (Evil Dead, Spider-Man, Quick and the Dead, The Gift)

Coen Bros. stuff: Collaborators of Raimi who also have a damn good directing eye (The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Labowski...)

Fight Club: Very stylish and a great twist
The Way of the Gun: An underated movie form the writer of The Usual Suspects

Blow: I like true stories and this one certinally tops the list

Jackie Chan flicks: Well *** you dont see actors do the stuff he does often (Drunken Master 1 and 2, Who Am I, Rush Hour)

Tarentino and Rodriguez movies: Great way of showing there stories (Pulp Fiction, Desparado, 4 rooms...)

Scarface: Bad-ass Classic

8-Mile: surprisenly good movie form Eminem

The Crow: Great style good story

Donnie Brasco: Depp seems to have athing for true life movies anoth good one

Tim Burton movies: Nice dark style and amazing story telling ability (Batman, Nightmare b4 xmas, Big Fish...)

American Psycho: Another unique flick with an odd twist

Terry Gilliam movies: he was the non british Monty Python member from Minnesota USA and has a very unique style (Fear and Loathing, Brazil, 12 Monkeys...)

well those are the ones sitting closest to me at the time. And I guess it wasnt just movies i listed but also directors, sorry botu that.

If you look at my movie library youll note that Im one helluva collector. Hollywood to Indie to Foriegn nothing is left out.

The Goonies. It' s kind of a strange story as on why I like it or love. I was young and have never heard of the movie. At Chuck E Cheese I was playing this game called The Goonies VS. Or something like that. It was an awesome game I would waste my money on it. Later when my friend bought me this game called The Goonies II in my mind was like whoa this is the arcade game!! So I went and played it and I was like something is strange here.. but I was like oh well it' s The Goonies. Then years later after I beat it finally... on TV on the TBS Super Station there was this movie called The Goonies.... oh my god I was in shock.. The theme from the Nintendo game I loved so much was in the movie.... Cindy Lauper sang that too. Oh man it was like I dont know a feeling and ever since I loved that movie to death. I am one of the people that has the Rare side B poster... I will never sell it... Hehehe So yeah it' s a wierd story but that is my favorite movie of all time. I also heard a sequel was coming out... called The Groonies... I can' t wait!

I like most of Jackie Chan' s more recent movies, but not his older stuff.

I must say that I love the Rush Hour movies...awesome, baby!!!

Regarding the Rush Hour movies I must say that Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have AMAZING chemistry together! They crack me the hell up!

Super Mario bros. oh man that doesnt suck it was awsome. I like it a lot and yes I do wish they had made a second one. That movie may not have been the movie we were all expecting but it was nonetheless entertaining. Mario was perfect and Luigi too just a little wierd but I guess they wanted to what? remix the story hehehe. I have that on DVD for very cheap I like the menu song it' s so um cool to hear that Mario theme.

my favorite is.... of course... toxic avenger. what other movie can you see a real game of " hey theres a kid on a bike! 28 points if you hit him.... no only if you destroy him!" and where the good guy ends up stuffing a midget in a washing machine.

About the Super Mario bros. Movie also in Japan they have made an animated feature length movie also about Super Mario. It is very very very rare to find it. There was probobly one copy and it sold on Ebay for like $300 maybe more and it was on VHS. I saw some screen shots and it looks so old but it also looks perfect on how they animated it using Japanese style.

The Goonies is a great movie...I watch it everytime it comes on tv.

Anyhoo...the current favorite movie for me is Bubba Ho-tep followed closely by Boondock Saints. If you haven' t seen either one of these movies you need to go out and watch them immediately.
