Hello!

[Sandie]

What is everyone's favorite movie? This is an off-topic thread after all right?


I personally don't have a single favorite movie but I love Grease, I could watch Hackers a thousand times in a row, same with The Fifth Element and I still crack up laughing eer time I watch the King of one liners, Bruce Campbell in The Army of Darkness and the origional 2 Evil Dead movies. But honestly I love lots of movies. How about all of you?

[CDBuRnOuT]

I was held hostage and forced to reply to this thread..

While they aren't my fav movies (don't really have one), the Evil Dead trilogy r0x.

[Sandie]

I didn't hold you hostage I just threatened and bullied :P:innocent:

[LanGaidin]

Okay, well, I was forced to come here along with CD, but I really can't think a favorite movie... There are too many that I like too much. Although, I've never actually seen the first 2 Evil Deads. Maybe that will be a good rental for this weekend. I guess my favorites are probably the Die Hards. Probably the series of movies that I've seen more than any other, at least.

[unknown4x]

Hey what happend to that FF Movie????

[Sandie]

It is due out on July 11th! here is the web site, you can see the movie tralier there http://www.finalfantasy.com/ :)

[campaign2016]

Gladiator


favorites of all time
(in no paticular order)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs
Robin Hood (the animated Disney one)
Robin Hood Men in Tights
The Naked Gun series
and many many more


Man its so hard to pick out a favorite movie

[Bgnome]

hey, what about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? :D
How can you have a quality film without oompa loompas?

[Betamax]

Charlie and the choc factory! The book was Waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better!:D

The matrix by far is the best. ( then I would say that being a Maths student:cool: )



As for the film I see no one has said star wars yet.

May the farce oops force be with you.:p

[Bgnome]

farce? anybody say SpaceBalls? :D

[mr2000jp]

i think giving an answer for such question is not that easy, i think that brave heart , the matrix (1,2) ,gladiator, are some of the best.
i like also the animation movies like disney's : mulan , tarzan , lion king and much more ... are good .

[Bgnome]

the matrix 2?
someone is smoking a little too much crack.. :rolleyes:

[Keith]

Deepthroat was pretty good ... what .. oh .. sorry I was just informed that this was a family oriented board .. sorry.

I like Space Balls .. Star Wars ... umm Wizard of Oz .. Sound of Music .. Gladiator ... umm Rocky ... Damn I love em all :D

[Raziel]

Matrix 2 is noy out yet but it seems people already like it.
Funny isn't it?
For me it's the Fifth Element(Luc Besson is FRENCH hehe:D )

[Sandie]

Actually Matrix 2 and 3 are being filmed simultaniously but production has been slowed by all kinds of things one of which was Carrie Ann Moss who plays Trinity hurt herself during stunt practice stuff. The filming is being done in Australia I think.
No one has said The Wizard of Oz yet! That was a good movie!

she did that during matrix 1 also..
sprained her ankle when she did the flip at the shootout scene iin the bottom of the corporate building

[Sandie]

That's because she is a PUSSY !!!! Can you tell I'm not impressed by her? :p

[Bgnome]

heh..
i was really impressed by the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon chicks tho..

[Sandie]

That's because Michelle Yeow (spelling?) Kicks ass! She is the most popular female martial arts actress in the world. Thats other girl was good to but I don't know her name.

[Bgnome]

anyone remember Labyrinth?
im surprised sx/amiga hasnt gotten in this discussion yet.. he's a really big movie buff

[Sandie]

Actually I rented that on DVD about a month ago, has some cool extra stuff. I love the music in it. I know another good one that is actually a series now, Aliens!

[CDBuRnOuT]

Cube, now that's a movie.

[CDBuRnOuT]

ET
Close encounters


and of course them most obvious

Yep I'm a sci fi nut

Live long and prosper

[Betamax]

[LanGaidin]

Wow, this is like the most popular thread on the board right now!

Some more favorites:

The Godfather
Top Gun
Dead Poets Society
Alien & Aliens

And, more recently, Analyze This. That movie is hilarious. :)

[Betamax]

At the rate were going well soon have more movies listed than www.imdb.com

The crow (Rip Brandon Lee)
Bill and ted
Retroactive ( well I liked it)
X-men
Bubblegum crisis

I'll keep thinking of them

SCI FI RULES!!!!!!

[Bgnome]

there were 2 bill and teds: excellent adventure and bogus journey..
i believe the first was much better than the second.

what about terminator and terminator 2?
other schwarzenegger movies..

[Betamax]

Yep Earily scharzenegger was good. Then he had to go and make jingle all the way.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked both b&t's.


How the hell do you spell that name anyway

[Betamax]

I think that we have more or less exhusted all god movies... what about the absolute rubbish then?

Movies that suck eggs big time IMHO

pokemon (ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!)
pokemon 2000 (How the Hell did they get that one out so quick!)
Last action hero
Bowfinger
All disney sequels
Speed 2
attack of the killer tomatos
Jingle all the way
Revenge of the atomic mutant zombie women from the planet venus

(I made the last one up BTW;) )

[Bgnome]

attack of the killer tomatoes is a cult classic!
george clooney at his finest ;)

[Betamax]

OH and I forgot Masters of the universe. That's as in being absolute crap that is. I've just been flicking though the tv guide. :D

[CDBuRnOuT]

This thread needs to go on a diet ;)

[LanGaidin]

Man, Masters of the Universe so pissed me off. I was like 7 when it came out, and a HUGE He-Man fan. After seeing the movie, even then, I was like, WTF was that?! Of course, it will always be remembered as one of Courtney Cox's finer moments. :p

Oh, and BGnome is right... You can't call Attack of the Killer Tomatos a horrible movie. It's one of those that's so bad it's funny, which ends up making it good. :)

[Betamax]

Also don't forget that robert duncan Mcneill (Tom Paris on Voyager) was also in Masters of the universe.

[Adair]

My fave is a movie called Iron Monkey. No it's not porn; it's kung fu. Any way it's choreographed and directed by Yuen Woo Ping. The same guy that did Matrix and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. He rulz. I'm biased towards all his movies though. Another good one by Yuen is Twin Warriors. Kung fu fans absolutly must check these out.

Oh yeah another favorite is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I've seen it so many times and its still funny. "Oh what sad times are these when passing rufians can say Nee at will to old ladies.":D
Oh and don't forget Kids in the Hall's Brain Candy. there's just too many to name.

[n0estoy]

oh dude! i saw the iron monkey like last week. that movie is crazy, but it's awesome. heavily influenced by anime...or maybe influenced by whatever influenced anime...i dunno. but i loved watching em' jump from rooftop to rooftop. then that final showdown was just whack! one of the craziest kungfu movies yet. it was great!! you should also check out 'legend of the drunken master.' that was great too.

oooh, i also have to second 'Last of the Mohicans', and 'X-Men' (it was about time they made it into a movie)
I also loved the 'Matrix' and 'There's something about Mary' (i can't remember laughing so hard in a while)
The Die hard trilogy and Lethal Weapon set was great
Ninja Scroll (anime) was really good too, along w/ Princess Mononoke.
Oh, and Bad Boys!! u can't beat Martin Lawrence and Will Smith!!

[Adair]

Yep Legend of Drunken Master is good. I have it on tape along with ninja scroll and Princess Mononoke(bad copy). If you liked Iron Monkey then you gotta rent Twin Warriors a.k.a. T'ai Chi Master, and Fist of Legend. Both of them are choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping (Iron Monkey, The Matrix) and both star Jet Lee(one of the best action stars in Hong Kong). Fist of Legend's fight scenes are what first got the Wachowski brothers interested in Yuen Woo Ping to do Matrix Choreography. Anyway I like those Yuen Woo Ping movies from a couple of years ago because they're all wire work and no computers.

[Ali]

Oh man ****....................! What a Big thread.

I thought it was on something useful..........

But Movies,,,,,,,,Yea I like watching movies......
I watch a lot of them but there are very few I liked,

I own Fifth element,Armegadon,Deep Impact,Desparado,Blade.

All of them suck,Real time.

I like to watch WWF...........HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I like to watch triple H kicking the Asses of other foes....

This thread really needs to go on a diet but it sure was fun to read it.

M.L.A

[campaign2016]

i forgot about deserado

i thought it was great
the big shoot out where the dude's got the rocket launcher in the chello case man that was great.
its been so long since i've watched it and i cant even remember the main plot of the movie but i remember the big shoot out

[SimonMallion]

Adair: if you liked Jet Lee in Tai Chi Master (great film) I suggest you look for The Legend Of Fonf Sai Yuk and LOFSY2, bot of these films have some excellent fight scenes (and the films are quite funny too). And also The Prodigal Son is another very good film. I also bought Iron Monkey on DVD and I think it is nearly as good as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (which is excellent), aha! I also have Princess Mononoke too! What other fighting films do you have/have you watched.

(Oh, and you cant forget Jackie Chan films too!)

Oh, sorry, I forgot Romeo Must Die, another good Jet Lee film (and also includes Aaliyah, hot babe!)

[Adair]

Thanx for the recommendations, Uncle Clive

You asked for the list so here it goes:
I own the majority of films choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping(ranked from favorite to least fave.)
Iron Monkey
T'ai Chi Master
Fist of Legend
Black Mask
Iron Monkey 2
Tai chi 2 (both of theses sequals have nothing to do with the originals)
Last Hero In China
Buddhist Fist
Wing Chun
Heroes Among Heroes
Invincible Armor(I'm not really convinced this was done by Y W Ping but it says so on the box)
Snake in the eagles shadow

And I've seen some others by him
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon( My Favorite of all kung fu movies)
The Matrix
Drunken Master
Magnificent Butcher

I also own
My father is a hero(Pretty good movie with Jet Lee as modern day kung fu guy)
New Legend Of Shaolin (good movie similar to Y W Ping's style)
Once Upon A Time in China 3(another good wire fu movie)

And I must recommend
Once upon a time in china 1 & 2
Hard Boiled & The Killer(not kung fu. its modern day gun movies done by John Woo)
StormRiders( not exactly kung fu. If you could imagine a movie with the super power type stuff in Mortal Combat but alot better looking and set in a good story then that's close to what this movies like)

And of coarse I've seen too many Jackie Chan Films to mention, but I'll say my favorites are Legend of Drunken Master, Operation Condor 1&2, and some of his earlier stuff.

I'm sure there's more I can't think of right now. What a long list.

[SimonMallion]

Thanks for reply adair, I shall definatly be checking some of these movies out. BTW, I get most of mine imported to UK from www.pokerindustries.com if anybody's interested.

[Enigma1982]

Well have u seen "Back to the furture 1-3"???
It old but it very cool movie.
I recommend you.

[Bgnome]

the first and second were pretty good, but the 3rd one sucked in my opinion..
im still waiting on my barbie hoverboard tho.. ;)

[CDBuRnOuT]

The second was the best, the third wasn't that bad, but one was better...

I want a Delorean :/

[Betamax]

... and I thought the 3rd was best and 2nd one sucked. LOL

Now when the heck are they ever going to get aroud to releasing a dvd box set. Man I have been waiting for that for years.

Ps check this out for a laugh

I liked all of them............

[n0estoy]

dude, how much would one of those cars cost? i saw one the other day. they look so sweet, but i only see one once every 3yrs or something.

[CDBuRnOuT]

You'd probably only be able to pick one up from someone, and I'd bet they'd want a lot to part with it :/

[campaign2016]

i have never seen a delorian

i think the company almost went bankrupt since the car was expensive as hell to manufacture. its body was like 100% stainless steel

[cluthu]

>i think the company almost went bankrupt since the car was
>expensive as hell to manufacture
Actually, they lost a good deal of face after the company's president was supposedly found to be something of a coke fiend. Though it's quite the conspiracy theroy, it's the belief of many that the accusation was put forth by the large automobile companies in order to ensure they'd have a future. Just imagine, a stainless steel car is likely to be nigh indestructible (within reason, of course); quite a change from the planned obsolescence inherent to the design of most cars.

It actually isn't all that new a theme, however, as the (in)famous Tucker cars were testament to.

[Betamax]

I actually live about 30 miles from the old delorean factory. There's a transport musuem nearby which was a few. Also there are a lot show up at old car rallies that I have been to.

Did you know that there are two "special edition" deloreans. these were made not of stainless steel but pure GOLD! I know that one of them is in fort knox. The other I'm not sure. Now that's my idea of a Dream car;)

[campaign2016]

you sure they are made out of gold and not gold plated?

not that im doubting you but damn thats a lot of gold

[Betamax]

No it was gold, right down to the cigarette lighter. There was a documentary on tv not so long ago.

[campaign2016]

i just saw shrek last night, it is one of my favorites now.

the donkey was just hilarious, and the story was just great.

i wont say much about the movie incase you guys havent seen it yet

[Ryos]

Hmm, I thought Shrek looked kiddyish on the previews. I'm always a bit worried about comedies with trailers that aren't funny...And off-topic, but I also watched some movies yesterday, Mummy Returns and Titan A.E. The former was surprisingly good and the latter sucked as much as I anticipated it would. Crocodile Dundee 3 might be pretty decent, too...For that matter, lots of good movies coming up right now. I think there are more interesting movies in this Summer alone than all of 2000 combined

[campaign2016]

you gotta remember that the movie is rated pg but, there were some scenes that contained more of a mature humor

but then again you looking at a guy who watches the power puff girls and dexter's lab and went to go see the iron giant in the theatres and so on

yeah i like action films but i also like comedies and such

(i am also going to see atlantis when it comes out that just looks amazing)

[Betamax]

Hey there's nothing wrong with watching cartoon network. (checks tv guide) ... yep PPG is on now with sign language. Its good to see that some childrens tv channels cater for deaf children also... even if it is at 1:30 am.

[Raziel]

Sorry to revive this old thread but I just watched Braveheart for the second time tonight(first time I didn't really watch,I was kind of drunk).
Anyway,what a fantastic movie! I just cried watching it,yes I cried (and it's been a looooooonnnnnng time since I last did,something like 2 or 3 years).
To everyone who didn't see it yet:Go,get it,buy it,rent it,steal it,anything you want but watch it! You WILL like it.

[Betamax]

"You may take our lives but you cannot take our freedom!!!"

Agreed good film. Much better than the patriot (Which was the same bloody [pun intendend] film only set in the US. BAD BAD BAD!)

OOOOPPPSS!:emb: I was going to say GOOOD Film but then changed it to the quote. I've got to proof read a bit more.:heh: (If you don't get what I mean see sandies post below)

Umm yeah but it's YOU may take not good. :) I have watched it many times :P Did you all know it's a true stry?? Kinda killed the end for me but was good none the less. The Patriot was also a semi true story and it was not really anything like Braveheart other then they were both revolutionary kind of war stories. I liked the Patriot more then Braveheart actually. Must have been the addition of Heath Ledger :)

[Betamax]

Amended. I knew that. It is part of the history syllabus over here. But I still think Patroit is TOO similair to braveheart... the synopsis

Braveheart.

The country (scotland) is at war with the bad guys ( the English). The hero (Mel Gibson) doesn't what to have anything to do with it until he loses a loved one (his wife) to the hands of the bad guys (the english). He then proceeds to raise an army of ruffians and annoy the bad guys (the english)

Patriot

The country (America) is at war with the bad guys ( the English). The hero (Mel Gibson) doesn't what to have anything to do with it until he loses a loved one (his son) to the hands of the bad guys (the english). He then proceeds to raise an army of ruffians and annoy the bad guys (the english)

Yup,I knew it was a true story,also you can play a campaign in Age of Empires 2 where you help William Wallace.

[Adair]

For all you Kung Fu fans out there(especially CTHD fans) I recently heard about the new Yuen Woo Ping(fight choreographer) movie. Its directed by Tsui Hark. Its called the Legend of Zu and is a remake of Tsui Hark's first movie Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain. I don't think it has any big names actors in it, but that doesn't matter as long as Yuen Woo Ping is in charge of making them into badasses. I can't wait for it. If you want a list of some other Y.W. Ping movies then look for a long post by me near the bottom on the 2nd page of this thread.
