Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Like to thank nostromo87 who pretty much came up with the idea, i just created the thread...time to start being nice people (I know how hard that is for some of you ;)). Instead of bashing a favorite film of the above member you show admiration for one of them...since i started the thread there is no one above me so I can't admire any right now...just say anything nice or that you liked about a favorite film of the member above you.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Remember watching Metropolis (3 hour version) in an early morning 9am show in Kolkata Film Festival about 15 years ago. It is still one of the most chilling experiences cinema had in offer for me...

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

8 1/2 is a fantastic looking film.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member

This is a great movie :yup: When I was at Uni I wrote an essay on it for Psy and also for TV and Film production :yup:

The Big Lebowski is entertainment at a level that all movies should strive for.

If you disagree...

Predator is a great amount of fun.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Hello101's top 10 are nicely rounded out! lot's of diversity in films there. Falling Down was an awesome concept for a movie. I have to watch that film again!

All About Eve is a fantastic film. Razor sharp dialogue, Bette Davis, Thelma Ritter and a really funny Marilyn Monroe. What more do you need?

I've probably seen this movie more than a dozen times now and never get tired of it.

Talk to Her may not be empirically the "best" of Pedro Almodóvar, certainly not his most influential or even the most famous/infamous...but it may well be my favorite. Dark and weird and full of humanity and humor and horror. You know: Almodóvar!

Wizard of Oz is a classic, they made a prequel and honestly i'm surprised Hollywood hasn't tried to remake the actual movie and ruin it as well.

and if anybody hasn't seen Good Fellas well........idky those kind of people would be on this site.

Silver Linings Playbook was one of the biggest pleasant surprises that I've had in a long time. I didn't expect to get that much out of it, but it was funny, engaging and a movie I will want to revisit many times again.

Trust me, i'm not a fan of Romcoms whatsoever but i watched anyways (Mostly for Chris Tucker as I haven't seen him in a movie in years and also for De Niro) and i was blown away by Jen's performance (I had never watched one of her movies before this one, what an introduction am I right?) and it immediately made me a fan of hers. That's what made me watch WB, and the X-Men movies, it's crazy i had no idea who this chick was a few years ago, now i want her to have my babies ;)

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

I loved Starship Troopers. Never understood how some people could claim it was a promotion of fascism, I seemed the opposite to me.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Inception and RotK are awesome! Two of the best movies from this century.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory is a timeless classic.

Rebecca is one of Hitch's finest and Robin Hood is one of the great action films. (Also being one of the first).

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

There are two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig

I could watch The Good the Bad and the Ugly a thousand times!

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Lord of the Rings beats every other movie franchise.......trust me i'm a doctor....

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Silver Linings Playbook was great, and the end made me cry. I've been wanting to rewatch it, but haven't done it yet, because I'm afraid I might like it less.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Requiem for a Dream is one of my favorite movies of all time. Plus, Clint Mansell knows how to make a score.

I love Alien for it's claustrophobic atmosphere and scares. It's certainly one of the great horror movies of history.

Citizen Kane is a masterpiece, and Orson Welles' best picture. :up:

BTW Edo Dillon, when looking at your top ten, (or six in your case), I noticed that your birthday was Feb 18th.

Brigadoon is one of my favorite musicals. It's a shame no one talks about the film.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Spirited Away is an animated masterpiece, and one of the most imaginative films ever created.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece war movie.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

You can't go wrong with Pulp Fiction. Tarantino's style became fully realized with PF, and many filmmakers good and bad have borrowed from it since then.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Starship Troopers is such an underrated film. Funny, quirky, and lots of great sci-fi violence, can't go wrong....

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Shaun of the Dead is a great comedy.

Singin' in the Rain is one of my favorite musicals. I could sit and watch Gene Kelly dance all day long.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Alien is my favorite of the series. The production design was groundbreaking at the time, which when combined with Geiger's art, became something completely unique and compelling.

Arg - Beat me by one minute! Not changing my entry! :rolleyes:

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

I was being an ass anyway. I loved Amelie. Delightfully quirky movie. Fantastic lead performance.

Taxi Driver... one of my favorites :p

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Like the movie - Falling down.
Watched this first as a fan of Michael Douglas (I have seen close to 30 movies that he has acted in) but totally fell in love with Robert Duvall's acting in this movie! Really nice movie with lot of fun moments and D Fens' emotion and pain is well-portrayed. Most of the situations in the movie is what we can relate to in our lives at one point or another. That makes the movie more enjoyable.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

The Prestige had such great suspense.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Never noticed your favorite movie was Annie Hall before Mistique. The best movie by one of the best script writers ever. All his themes, humor, and nuroces are on full display. Annie Hall grows in my mind every time I see it.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Magnolia. Do I really need to say more? I have it as a favourite myself, amazing broad story, extremely well-written with phenomenal editing. So much to say about that one.

No Country for Old Men - one of the best works of the Coen brothers, beautifully photographed and very well written, excellent performances from Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem, engaging, filled with twists and surprises. Fantastic movie:D

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Speaking of beautifully photographed 2007 films with great performances. There Will Be Blood will stand the test of time as one of the greats.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

The Shawshank Redemption is astounding , touching , well-acted and it's definitely one of the best movie from the 90's.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Whiplash is an amazing little drama and probably my pick for best film of 2014.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, that movie was funny as hell

Shaun of the Dead, the best zombie movie ever!

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member

The Passion of Joan of Arc is the greatest movie of all time!

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Jurassic Park is great fun and I still really admire the effects.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Jim Carrey surprised me with his acting in Eternal Shine of the Spotless Mind. That was movie was fantastic.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
 

Starship Troopers is a really cool space war movie. There aren't too many of those.

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member

Re: Admire a Favorite Film of the Above Member
