Brad Pitt movies, Tarantino movies, Batman movies, Tom Hanks movies, Leonardo DiCaprio movies, Christopher Nolan movies, Johnny Depp movies, list will go on forever.
At the moment it's The Princess Bride, because it's incredibly cheesy and low budget but in a way that's so self-aware and such an obvious, over-blown and creative parody (while still retaining a little bit of sincerity) that it's one of the funniest films I've ever seen.
I also really like Kill Bill (1 and 2), Groundhog Day, the Toy Story trilogy, Pan's Labyrinth and loads more films I can't remember right now.
bringing out the dead. fight club. saving private ryan. waking life. children of men. the departed. 21 grams. bourne trilogy. the matrix. dark city. dark knight trilogy. taxi driver. 12 monkeys. i heart huckabees. constantine. a prophet. man of steel. the science of sleep. ink. and I recently seen blue is the warmest color. I enjoyed it.
Groundhog Day. So good.

I've noticed that with the majority of the movies I like, I have the tendency of being very fond of the music on the soundtracks. However, it is not always the case.
Way too many to name lol but a few are Armageddon, x-men first class, warm bodies, harry potter(except for the 4th one), the proposal, exorcism of Emily rose, star trek and star trek into darkness, underworld series, the phantom of the opera, ECT...
I know that plenty of people think it's overrated but "Inception" is by far the best, most interesting film I've seen in my life. I love the characters, Dom Cobb is interesting because he's so suspicious of reality and he's scared of his own mind. Even with Cobb, the other characters still shine in their own way. The acting was superb, as to be expected from DiCaprio. Then there's there's the plot twist with how he discovered mind planting. Then there's also the concept, inception has a very interesting plot that is seldom seen in Hollywood movies nowadays. The execution was also well done. And finally it had layers, figuratively and literally, the movie just takes you in directions that you don't expect and when you leave the theater you're still left contemplating what you just saw.
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is the best film I've ever seen and probably my favourite.
Erm, I honestly don't know. I like too many to brand one my "favorite".
In no particular order:
American Psycho.
The Way of The Gun.
Remember the Titans.
Blue Brothers.
Some like it hot.
Hannibal.
Pirates of the Caribbean.
Donnie Darko.
Probably far more, but oh well.
David Holzman's Diary of course!
It's the film that first opened my eyes to the art of film. I was 15 yrs old at the time and it had a very profound effect on me. 10 yrs passed and then one day I saw the film in it's entirety, broken into parts, on youtube. I re-watched it and once again was captivated and creatively inspired by it.
FILM IS TRUTH 24 FRAMES A SECOND
This is a quote by Jean-Luc Godard, and is used as the basis of the film. David Holzman is trying to solve the mystery of everyday life, trying to make sense of it. So he figures if he captures it all on film and watches it back it may make more sense and he can pick up on things that would normally pass him by. So he begins obsessively filming all aspects of his life, until it starts to unravel before him and he finds even less answers.
It's still so relative to today, in the age of reality television. There's a great monologue in one part of the film where a character explains that nothing that is in front of the camera and aware of the camera is natural, because of the conscious presence of the camera.
All in all though, I love the feel of the film, its shot in this brilliant black and white and the sequences where he films sweeping through the streets of 1960's new york just makes you feel like you're there, opening up and diving into an era so long gone.
My profile on here contains a movie review of the film.
This is extremely late I'm aware but you spoke so highly of the film that I decided to give it shot. Along with the fact that I have to pick a film for one of my classes and write a paper describing one aesthetic of it. I literally just finished watching it a few minutes ago and thought that I'd reply to this comment. I thought it was a little sad, in some ways boring, but in the most interesting way. I understand Holzman, I'm curious about what he's curious about. In a different life I'm sure I would've done the same as he. I would've crabbed a video camera and recorded my life in order to figure what I'm missing. Is there something in people that I'm not seeing? Is there something to life that I'm not seeing? Holzman posed an interesting question. That being said, there was nothing. At the end where he screams "What do you want!" I just felt bad for the guy. Cause in all honesty, he caught nothing on camera that was the truth. The only thing he caught was a bunch half truths as that guy said. I guess there was nothing there. I guess there maybe is nothing in our lives. I hope there is though. I'll admit that it is a very interesting premise and it's sort of sad that "nothing" was captured on film, as opposed to whatever truth we were all hoping to find.
That's amazing that you went and watched it. Thanks for your comment and sharing your opinion on it.
You have to remember that this film was made in 1967 but says more about our culture now than it did then. People everywhere these days are recording things, taking pictures of their lives, documenting everything. I can't go to a single live concert any more without seeing masses of people holding up cameras to record it. It's like they need to record it to see it later to verify to themselves that it actually happened, that they lived it. But they didn't live it, they were too worried about capturing it on film. And this is David Holzman's fate.
Ah, so hard to choose. I have loads, but I'll try to narrow it down. Of the Egnlish speaking ones, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (because it's both happy and sad, and I love stuff like that. And it's just generally a wonderful film). And Trainspotting (can't fault it).
Foreign films; Run, Lola, Run, Amelie, and also Oldboy. Genuinely couldn't say a bad word against any of these.
Is Twister seriously on this list? Haha! What?! It also has two votes?!
What is going on here...
Anyway, I think my Favorite film would be the 1999 classic, American Beauty. It had some incredible commentary about how we, as people, view our lives. It also has really memorable characters & moments.
Although "American Beauty" is not #1 on my list of favorite films it is up there. That movie is amazing, and you're right it offers incredible commentary about people, life, and even adulthood. Also the ending monologue just kept replaying in my head after I watched that film. As I type this I have that speech playing in my head.
i like so many movies that its hard to pick- for thrills i like predator...so many good scenes , the indian on the bridge and all arnies scenes
for a laugh i pick dumb and dumber...so funny .i love the whole movie (except the hawking on the burger)
apocolypso . mel gibson's film. love the altar scene especially
There's a few movies I'd pick out as my favorite but, right now, I'll go with the one at the top of my head: Let the Right One In.
It's difficult to choose.
The movie I've watched the most would be The Lion King,
but it's not really my favorite favorite movie.
My current favorite movie would be Serial Mom.
I like movies like 'Little miss sunshine' 'Away we go' 'Dan in real life' '500 days of summer' and definitely HARRY POTTAH! Star wars too, and lord of the rings, 'Labyrinth' and any eighties movie. I like sci-fi movies as well, I'm not a fan of scary movies unless they're classics.
My mom and I used to have watch old movies in the morning on Sundays so I also like 40's and 50's movies. I like awkward comedies mostly.
My favorite film is eraserhead by David lynch because it is the film that made me truly appreciate cinema, the godfather was the film that made me realise that films don't have to be just explosions and break neck speed but eraserhead was the first film to affect me.
The first time I finished it I just went to bed and spent hours trying to figure out what it all meant and it's due to that film that I'm such a fan of cinema
What's Twister?
Don't like the rest at all.
In my present mood I'd go for 'Nuts In May' by Mike Leigh.
If you don't like that there's something wrong with you.
A kind of Britishness taken to its extreme and very very funny in a fairly understated way. We all know people like these.
