What's your favorite movie ever?

[Russell Hall]

Call me a David Lean fan if you will but two on my list are (in this order)
1) Lawrence of Arabia (1962 version)
2) Dr Zhivago

[mark z]

If I have to choose only one that would be:

The Godfather.

... I almost hear the music lol

[LazyMogul.com]

I really can't make up my mind. I have many dvds. i went to film school ;-D

One solid movie is "Batman Begins" Christopher Nolan did an excellent job.
Script is top notch, production quality A+, and the acting...

well, some of my favorite actors are in it:

* Gary Oldman (one of my favorite of all-time!)
* Michael Caine (can't beat this guy... what a way to deliver a line!)
* Morgan Freeman (super believable in any roll)
* Liam Neeson (This guy is awesome!)
* Tom Wilkinson (this guy is british, playing an italian... whoa!)
* Rutger Hauer (loved him in Blade Runner - another favorite)
* Cillian Murphy (this guy just looks psychotic - and delivers a great performance)

...and last but certainly not least:

* Chritain Bale (one of the best actors of his generations - watch "the machinist")

yes, this movie is in the Top 10 and its a shame I haven't seen this in other Top 10 lists. Another thing is the score... it really compliments the movie.

Watch it again and Let me know what you think of Batman Begins.

-C

p.s.
Another gem is "Quantum of Solace" - 1 hour 46 minutes of pure
Bond done in an artistic, stylized way... kudos to the production team ;-D

[seecz]

Matrix. And V for Vendetta.

[KimW]

Michael O said:"If the books had never been writeen, but the movies were...they would be awesome movies."

Probably so, but the books were written and the movies that were made differentiated enough from the books to make it a different story from the books.

As I said before, the books were great, and the movies were ok, but the movies are not the same story that is in the book,and for a great many of us, its the story that got our attention, not the special effect possibilites.
Come to Middle Earth.

[morgano1132]

I like action movies, the movie i like is The Hit Man,

[antiquenh]

My favorite movie as of the moment is "500 Days of Summer." It's very honest and depicts the reality of life. No pretentions and fairy tale endings on love. I loved it so much!

[glide21]

The Matrix and A Clockwork Orange

[glide21]

The Matrix and A Clockwork Orange

[JAIDEEP2959]

I liked Spiderman 2 very much.

[Ken_Caudill]

LOTR in the full video version.

Fabulous stuff.

[stevejohn]

Troy - I liked most.

[josspam]

One brilliant mind!

Yep that one!

jocy

[steve-wilkins]

Gladiator (love the soundtrack and find it very inspirational) and Shawshank Redemption mainly because they test the human spirit and show us how strong we really are!

[JBorhez]

Did not see many mentions of Scarface! Classic Pacino! Also, Pulp Fiction is brutal!

[shmeeko69]

I like alot of differnet type films, but
my stand out flm of all time is
Shawshank Redemption with the talented
Morgan Freeman & Tim Robbins.

I wouldn't even begin to try to pick my favorite out of respect to all those
great movies that I love that I'd end up slighting.

Here's a short list of movies that I like a lot. Let's leave it at that.

Sci Fi

War Of The Worlds (original)
Forbidden Planet
The Day The Earth Stood Still (Original)
Gorgo
The Incredible Shrinking Man

Comedy

The Time Of Their Lives
It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Arsenic And Old Lace

Drama

It's A Wonderful Life
Dog Day Afternoon
Mrs Miniver
Sgt York
Dead Poets Society
Rocky
Scrooge (Alistair Sim)
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
To Kill A Mockingbird

Musicals

Wizard Of Oz
Sound Of Music
Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady
Showboat (Paul Robeson)

Adventure

Raiders Of The Lost Ark
Lord Of The Rings (All 3)
The Dirty Dozen

I'll stop there. I've already left out about 100 incredible movies that I'm
going to kick myself for.

Don't even try to have me pick one of those as a favorite. I'd sooner
stand in front of a firing squad.

There have been so many amazing movies in cinema history that it's
almost mind boggling how much talent has come and gone in this world
in just 82 years. (The Jazz Singer - 1927) Yes, I know, it wasn't really
the first movie ever made but it's the first talkie (though not completely
as some parts were dubbed in later. Long story, don't ask) Charlie Chaplin
was doing so hilarious short silent films between 1914 and 1918 like
"The Rink", "The Cure", "One AM" and others. I remember watching them
on channel 13 (public TV) when I was a kid about 40 years ago.

[susb8383]

I think for me it is An Affair to Remember (the original with Cary Grant, not the remake with Warren Beatty, although I think that had a different name).

The Sound of Music is a close second.

Titanic is one of my favourite movies and I have watched it several times. It is very dramatic and the songs in the movie are good.

I have a lot! but wow! when I read soilent green from the third post I was reminded of my dad! He was the one who introduced that movie to me. I don't remember if I've seen it or I just knew the story because he told me about it! lol! Do they have a copy of that movie somewhere online? ..... current fave though: Avatar (because I'm a world of warcraft addict and the movie has some similarities with the game)
