  2. Noises Off
  3. Pulp Fiction

I’m surprised you guys can do this, because pinning it down to just three has proved to be impossible for me…depending upon the mood I’m in or the company I keep my favourites tend to drift. I had three and then I suddenly realised that they’re not really any more favourite than a load of others!

I have a hard time putting them in order so I’ll just throw in some categories instead.

Best live action: Pacific Rim, it’s just… excellent.
Best cartoon: A Goofy Movie, Tarzan is a very close second. Both are perfect.
Best anime: Redline, it doesn’t get much better than this.

i totally didn’t sneak in a “catch-all” exactly because of this :wink: :blush:

(could maybe be argued the “Disney section” also is firing some wide buckshot pellets) :smile:

Guardians of the Galaxy
The A-Team

I just approached it as: What films can I watch again and again and still enjoy them?
There are a lot of good movies that I have watched but just have no interest in watching again.

For me that really narrowed down my list of options. But it was still tricky.

I don’t really watch movies much in recent decades, but for movies I can sit down and rewatch every once in a while and always enjoy I’d have to say

  1. Ame agaru (After the rain)
    Brilliant slow and calm Samurai movie by Akira Kurosawa and Takashi Koizumi. About a wandering unemployed Samurai traveling with his wife getting stuck at an inn by a flooded river crossing. Not an action movie by any means, highly recommended though.
  2. The man from Earth
    Pretty cool sci-fi and not the space opera kind. Some dude is moving and having a fare well party with friends he’s made over a good number of years and he winds up sharing some intriguing secrets.
  3. Event Horizon
    NOT a movie I’ll rewatch too frequently because it’s pretty scary and I don’t like scary movies too much but it is undoubtedly a brilliant movie and great sci-fi.

Fiiiiiiiiiiine…

So was going to go -

  • Aliens
  • Castle in the Sky
  • Back to the Future

Then I thought…wait one second! Fight Club, Goodfellas, Almost Famous, The Princess Bride, Blade Runner, Empire Strikes Back, The Martian, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Shining, True Romance, Gladiator and Die Hard from just the top of my head…

So yeah, those!

(…and whatever others I think of in the interim…)

I really can’t pick my favourite movies because it really depends on how I feel,so how about this I will put here movies I DON’T like but are very popular among most people:

  • The Shining - I had to watch it in english in year 11 (one year before high school graduation), I like a good thinking movie or movies with ambiguity but this movie really just didn’t make sense to me and that ending zoom shot just confused it even more

  • The Rocky Horror Picture Show - I don’t know why I didn’t like this one, I just remembered I didn’t enjoy it, time warp is a cool song but eh

  • Drive - The long silence where there was meant to be dialogue may have had meaning to people but at the time of watching it I just got bored with it, maybe I should have got back to this one

  • Burn After Reading - This seems to be popular with people but honestly I just felt I wasted 2 hours of my time watching this, and supposedly that was the directors intention from memory. I enjoy a good cohen bros movie but I did not enjoy this one

Oh yeah, whiplash was a fantastic film. If you were wondering what an actual jazz player thinks of it, I’d direct you here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SFYBVGdB7MU

  1. Constantine - My Halloween night go-to movie, every single year. :slight_smile:
  2. Equilibrium - Christian Bale
  3. Howl’s Moving Caste - “What a pretty fire!”

And no matter how bad the movie is, I’ll watch Bruce Payne in anything, lol.

As some other folks have stated, this is hard as it depends on the mood I am in. But to name 3 that I generally am in love with…

  1. Willow - edit: I must say this IS my favorite of allllll time, though, hehe. I’ve watched this film since I was a young lad and still to this day it will never be boring!

  2. What Dreams May Come - I always forget this came out in '98. Anyhow, Artistically and Emotionally Amazing!
    edit #2, lol: this movie also has an alternate ending. I cannot remember which ending I like better - the theatrical release or the other - but both were great

  3. LOTR!!!

  4. As I sit here and think of movies I am generally in love with, gosh, I really could go on and on :stuck_out_tongue:

So really really hard to say actually . Thou most of the time when i’m asked what’s my favorite movie Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ comes to mind first so i guess you could call it my favorite movie! But besides it i really love all sorts of horror movies .

I’ve watched a lot of movies so this is really hard, I’m having a difficult time trying to rank my top three soooo I won’t.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wes Anderson is one of my favourite directors and while I can say I think Grand Budapest is a better movie this one just fits all my personal biases.

Synecdoche, New York - A film that makes me feel a massive amount of emotions that other films can’t seem to compete with. It’s hard to explain this one, especially in so few words.

Cornetto Trilogy - I love all three so, so much I couldn’t possibly choose, but since when I watch one I end up watching the other two straight afterwards I think this counts.

There’s so many movies I adore beyond belief but I guess this will do. :I

Fantastic Mr. Fox is great, I enjoyed the book a bit more than the film. But still, I could watch that movie one hundred times over (assuming I already haven’t).
