Just a suggestion. But i think it wuld be great to have some kind of reader' s choice: favourite film spot. Where you get to write 500 words or so about one of your favourite films. We could do it on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

It could be a big blockbuster to the most obscure film... i suppose it' s pretty cool just to converse with others on a more fun platform than in threads because you just don' t get the chance.

I absolutely adore films - so i' d be up for seeing it. Adam?

Easy.

Fight Club is rrrruff x 500.

In all seriousness. Tis a sterling suggestion Ms K.

ha! Watched Fight Club ...AGAIN....just last night. Great movie! Gotta love the special edition DVD set.


my favorite movie is still held by " Braveheart"

I don' t have exactly time for a 500 word essay, but I can say from the bottom of my heart that Akira rawks all other movies! The incredible animation, storyline and characters make all other movies absolete!

Life is Beautiful. All the way.

Then theres Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon. I don' t care about Chinese sales, that movie was better than all of the anime (or any Jap/Chinese-produced film) I have seen thus far.

Do I need to even say it? This one goes out to all you deadites out there, one in particular, Deadmeat.

ARMY OF DARKNESS!!!!

Closely followed by, and I mean closely, perhaps the greatest horror comedy of them all...BAD TASTE!!!

This is toughy. I also don' t have time for 500 words, but I' ll just reply.

Heat (hint hint for all those in the " Guess the Movie" thread)
Seven
Forrest Gump
Sand Pebbles
Enter the Dragon
Lately, Road to Perdition
I dunno, the list goes on and on.

I still haven' t got the DVD :(

Got to be said though - the Terminator 2 DVD is probably the best I' ve seen for extra stuff. The scenes with the T1000 in John Connor' s room and the extra ending - no wonder they cut though scenes out.

And Jackass is awesome.

Friday
Coming to America
TMNT
A few Good Men
Full Metal Jacket
Lion King



Office Space almost makes the list

Snatch
Braveheart
Monty Python' s Search for the Holy Grail
...and from way back, The Cat From Outer Space


....wardo, u should continue your list....give me some ideas for rentals.

Shawshank Redemption ..

I can' t believe I forgot Shawshank...

The Shawshank Redemption DOES rule. And my list of favs.:

Glory
Citizen Kane
Braveheart
Forrest Gump
Dr. Zhivago
Philadelphia Story
A Few Good Men
A Beautiful Mind
The Fugitive

I probably forgot about a zillion, but these are all definitely at or near the top of the list, IMO.

I was tempted to put The Fugitive, but it is more of a guilty pleasure. I used to want to be a US Marshall until I learned how much they made.

" I didn' t kill my wife!"

" I don' t care!"

I love those lines. US Marshalls don' t care if a person is innocent or not. It' s just up to them to find the person.

Heh...that is an awesome line.

I actually wasn' t going to put it either, just because it doesn' t seem to.....well, fit, I guess. But I couldn' t help it; I find little wrong with that movie.

Just out of curiosity, do U.S. Marshals have more authority than the FBI?

And a close 2nd place for me is Monthy Python and the Search for the Holy Grail.

" I cut off your arm man!"
" No you haven' t."
" The bleed is flowing out of there!"
" It' s just a scratch, I' ve had worse..."

LMAO!

FBI has more power. Marshals mainly focus on the judicial system and to maintain it. There are 5 main objectives a Marshal does: Protect witnesses, hunt down fugitives, sieze property, transport fugitives, and protect juries. Atleast I think that' s how it goes. You get shot at more in the FBI, though.

TMNT2

Though it sounds cheesy it has to be the Star Wars Trilogy, younno the original films not the new plastic crap. Oh and the Matrix and Reloaded looks awesome!

I love my films, spend far to much cash on a regular basis on em. My room' s turned into a cinema now. But I like everything, its now just about the best acting or the best script or the most technical piece of film-making its about your enjoyment. The feeling it gives you inside and thats what counts.
