with out going into it to deeply


for me it is . . .


BRIDE OF FRANKENSTIEN (original with Karloff)

Probably Shindler's list.

It's not my favorite movie. But it's stunning.





My favorite movie is Alien.

mock me all you want, but i will love the matrix forever

although this was pretty amusing

some threads are doomed from the get go

Just ONE favorite movie ? That´s impossible.

The Godfather

King of New York

Bitter Moon

Star Wars

Mad Max part I & II

Conan The Barbarian

Rocky I & II

Nosferatu ( the one with Klaus Kinski, I love Kinski´s work with director Herzog)

The Usual Suspects

2001 A Space Odyssey ( spelling ?)

Cheech and Chong stuff

Purple Rain

Into the Night

and many . many more great films

i said one you big cheater

I guess that would be the Cheech and Chong movie with Peewee Herman.

( Just kidding)

Amadeus still has the power to mak me laugh and cry in the timespan of one movie. Beautiful acting, beautiful music.

The Princess Bride. it has intrigue, sword fights (non penis type), romance, comedy..and just brilliant dialogue.

whenever I see the cover or soundtrack I think of you...

my fave of all time is the LOTR Trilogy

I keep changing my mind, but right now I think this one is at the top of my list:

That's impossible...

I liked:

- Babel Saw it last night and it was good, but it would have been better if Amores Perros and 21 Grams hadn't existed

- Dogville

- Bleu

- Cidade de Deus

and many more. A real good movie is easier to find than a real good book, in my opinion.

You mean the Kieslowski one? Yeah, I really liked that. He managed to capture that weird atmosphere and emotional aftermath really well. Most movies don't dare to follow the characters that far through a process. Instead they end with some kind of profound comment or a beautiful image when the interesting and most difficult phase of the drama would have started.

all my friends hate it, but i'd have to say:



i also love:

Exactly. I'm not someone who watches movies twice, but this one has made me. I really like the unresolved question as well. Did she write the music? You wonder and then realize that's not what the movie is about.

I love Juliette by the way. If I were a man, I'd love to give her a subtle lick behind her ears.

Great movie! I finally found it on E-bay and won it for $1.50. Probably the best dvd purchase I've ever made.

MarieLouise said:

Yeah, she's great. There are so many talented French actresses out there that are gorgeous as well. You almost fall in love with them a little bit while watching their movies.

IrresistibleB1tch said:

That's a hard one. I get all soft watching Jeremy and Juliette in one movie, doing the things they do.

But, I'm missing some nuance in this movie. It's too black and white to me, not about real people...

retina said:

sorry, i had to edit the image. people either love the movie or think it's unbearably slow - glad to find somebody else who loves it!!

i think i'll use it in my German class one of these days.

MarieLouise said:

good point but the passion, drama and self-destructive aspects of the movie make up for the settings, imho.

My Beautiful Laundrette directed by Stephen Frears and starring Daniel Day Lewis.

Blade Runner or Apocalypse Now.

retina said:

I love him directing i still haven't seen that one yet. His movies are usually tragi-comedies..i think that's what you call them.

betty blue

It is brilliant.

Deals with fascinating philosophical issues. It's a shame it became so clichéd, because it's fucking amazing.

Spookymuffin said:

I agree with both of you not the second and third (although I still liked them just nowhere as brilliant as the first) ...absolutely BRILLIANT movie

Natisse said:

I feel the same way about the sequels i love them, but i know on some level they still weren't quite as good as the first.
