[nothingshocksmeanymore]

it's the movie and the personal history for me...I dated one of Hal Ashby's "women on the side" during the same time she was having an affair with him.

[Rowdyboy]

10. The King of Hearts....Genevieve Bujold's screen debut

World War I parody about inmates of an insane asylum taking over a small town in France.

I've read it played in a theater in Harvard Square for 6 years. Really fabulous, if you can find it.

[CanuckAmok]

Love that movie!

[Gothic Sponge]

27. I love a A Christmas Story too!

I don't know if it's my #1 favorite film, but it's up near the top.

If you haven't been to http://www.flicklives.com/ you should check out the old Jean Shepherd shows.

[DS1]

17. Fight Club

[CanuckAmok]

24. HEY...you're not supposed to talk about that!

My favourite is "Left Behind", when the Rapture happens and all of God's Children ascend to heaven, and the unbelievers are "Left Behind".


No, seriously, it's either Fight Club or Wings of Desire.

[SOteric]

58. Someone made a movie out of GD:2004...?

[DS1]

60. It was a horribly written TV adaptation, way too much talking

and far too little fighting. Someone else decided when you were tapped out, so it just wasn't the same :7

[Speck Tater]

19. Finding Nemo

Of course my favorite movie tends to be what ever movie I watched most recently, with some notable exceptions. Myra Breckenridge, for example, was the only movie I ever saw that was worse than Battlefield Earth.

[LiberalVoice]

28. you've obviously never seen "The Musketeer" or "Tank Girl"

The two worst movies EVER!!!

[proud patriot]

[burythehatchet]

39. Galdiator

and its porn equivalent

Glad He Ate Her

[Kahuna]

21. Let's see, Midnight Cowboy, Rainman, Bringing up Baby, Jane Eyre.

Pride and Prejudice (Olivier and Garson), and The Women, Are contenders for my "favorite." How can I pick just one. :shrug:

[sundog]

22. Hedwig & the Angry Inch, Amelie, Nights of Cabiria

--

[StaggerLee]

23. The Pianist

Although The Great Dictator is a close second.

[Mojambo]

25. Two

Action adventure - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Comedy - Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

[rock]

30. Bridge on the River Kwai

[wyldwolf]

32. Superman - The Movie

The 1978 movie, Superman, is really the story of Jesus Christ. Original inventors, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, made their Superman resonate with their Jewish roots.
-Review By David Bruce

[Mike Niendorff]

33. can't name just one.

As much as I can narrow it down, it's still a three-way tie between :

This thread is based on a cruel question!! :-)

[m-jean03]

40. I liked Donnie Darko

[lpbk2713]

41. It's difficult to name just one but "Giant" would have to be

close to the top of the list for me. Great cast. Great story.

[PurityOfEssence]

Eleanor of Aquataine : "What would you have me do, give up, give out, give in?"

Henry II: "Why don't you give me a little peace"?

Eleanor: "A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace...now there's a thought"

I adore this perfect movie.

[Malikshah]

69. Funny, how this one always pops up

It IS the best movie-- as long as one is referring to the Katherine/Peter version and not the Glenn/Patrick remake for Showtime.

Eleanor: I'd hang you from the nipples, but it would shock the children...

[NightTrain]

49. "Dr. Strangelove" and "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington."

[jayavarman]

She's my sister . . . She's my daughter

[achtung_circus]

51. The Quiet Man

John Wayne in his best role and the love of my life Maureen O'Hara

[Endangered Specie]

52. Star Trek IV and VIII

[PurityOfEssence]

54. Odd Man Out (1947)

Carol Reed directed this script by F.L. Green and R.C. Sherriff script with a fabulous cast (James Mason, Robert Newton, Cyril Cusack) about an a wounded I.R.A. gunman trying to get back to his mates. Everyone wants a piece of him for a different reason, but only the woman who loves him is selfless in her motivations. High drama, high suspense and deep exploration of people's using of others.
