Boondock Saints
Swordfish
Fight Club
Shawshank Redemption


All of them have awesome endings.

[johnnynumfiv]

Gone in 60 seconds- for the cars
Ferris Beuller Day's Off- just a good movie
Heavy Weights- Funny as hell
Space Balls- " "
A bunch of others, too lazy to type them all

[forza_autodelta]

Le Mans with steve mac queen (most realistic movie about car I found)
the second is Ocean's eleven , I like Georges Clooney and Julia Roberts

[:Exige:]

Do short movies count? La Rendezvous is simply breathtaking.

Proper movie though .. The Blues Brothers .. its just pointlessly funny (and i like a bit of pointless fun me :))

[Pando]

Monthy Pythons Holy Grail - well it's just THE movie of all times. I've seen it far over 20 times!
Memento/Swordfish/Matrix (the first one) /Usual Suspects --- None of them is similar but they sort of are, I love them all because they are well made and just all around great. And they made you think.
KungPow / Shaolin Soccer - Retarded = hilarious :D

[dimlight]

Ong Bak

[Quiggs]

The Jersey Trilogy (the 5 Jay and Silent Bob movies)- funny

These are pretty much all fun to watch on a big screen with surround sound.
Gone in 60 Seconds
The Matrix trilogy
Ocean's 11 + 12
Three Kings
Star Wars

[:Exige:]

Monthy Pythons Holy Grail
Ive seen that WAAAAY too many times .. I can recite all the words to it :) Itd definatley be in my top 5 along with "Now for something completley different"

[jcp123]

American Beauty, Life is Beautiful, and Requiem for a Dream - hard-hitting dramas that left me with an uneasy pit in my stomach after they were over, which is hard to do. And Life is Beautiful had one of the most moving stories and morals of any movie I've seen. GREAT pieces of art, what movies were meant to be.

Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run) - A great movie to just be entertained by, and one of the best soundtracks I've heard in any movie anywhere.

Honorable mention: American History X - another hard hitting drama in the same vein as American Beauty and Requiem. Not quite as good, but still a very solid movie that's a damn sight better than average.

[emperor]

Requiem for a dream! Some movie that was. I watched it at cinema and after the credits ended people were still sitting on their seats and nobody said a word for about 10 minutes. But on the other hand I 'd rather not to have to watch this movie again.

[:Exige:]

I've re-enacted the scenes in the castle :)

The guy in the shop will even give you coconut shells to take on the tour round !!!!!
ROFL .. that sounds ace. I did a movie with some friends recently which has a monty python feel to it. We blatently stole the scene where you see the knight running towards the castle in the distance then he suddenly pops up close up. The weapon this time was a crumpet <sigh>. I also had a laugh doing some Python styled animations .. it was an ass having to edit each frame (about 200 frames for this 3 second animation). The product was insane though .. if i get the time ill host it somewhere and post the link.

[ruim20]

Star Wars geek here...

AppleSeed, Ninjascroll (manga for those who don't know :D )

Die Hard 1 and 3 - 1 and 3 were awesome, 2 sucked *****.
Fist of the ledgend
Full Metal Jacket - ALl i have to say is this movie is moving. It really makes you think, consider.
Glory - If you havent seen it then.. well.. see it. Its an awesome civil war movie. (the war is always something ive been interested in.)
Groundhog day - so funny, i love that song. :p
Kill Bill - /obsessed with kung fu movies....
Ledgend of the Drunken Master - His mom's so funny...lol
LOTR - its arguably the best (not best of a genre, like jay and silent bob, just over all best in all catagories) trilogy i've ever seen.

My favourite is the one when he wakes up and see's the sunset for the first time with wmotions, great scene :)

[Godlaus]

It was a good movie, but they shoudl've hired a better choreographer, that last fight scen was terribly practiced and fake.

Taye Diggs > Christian Bale

[ruim20]

The movie would have been much better without all of those coreographed moves.. doesn't look real enaught, i think it had the makings of a great movie, and was a bit spoiled with the playing around with the guns and that sort of stuff

Yes and no some was a little bad in taste like how many times could they make a joke with 911. That added to 911X10 = 9110 911x1000 = 911000.
And Michael Moore the Suicide bomber:eek:
To me the funny bit's were When he tells to some with him in the Limo and he says you want me to suck your paddle pop. And he says no no no gets in and says now suck my paddle pop the look was funny as coming from a doll :p.
And then telling the world that this man was amazing cause any man that puts another mans paddle pop in his mouth says a lot:p:p:p Embarrassment:p

I felt sorry for Matt damon did he not chip in on a pizza night or something lol

[shr0olvl]

I've been watching movies like crazy since I have nothing else to do better with my time and have decided these are the best movies I've seen:

American History X
Pulp Ficition
Reservoir dogs
The Crow

I just got done watching "the village" and I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...

[Mr. Orange]

American Beauty, Life is Beautiful, and Requiem for a Dream - hard-hitting dramas that left me with an uneasy pit in my stomach after they were over, which is hard to do. And Life is Beautiful had one of the most moving stories and morals of any movie I've seen. GREAT pieces of art, what movies were meant to be.

Honorable mention: American History X - another hard hitting drama in the same vein as American Beauty and Requiem. Not quite as good, but still a very solid movie that's a damn sight better than average.

as drama goes, i agree completly with jcp123 and i would also like to add one i just saw in theaters, Cinderella Man

I love movies in general and have many favorites, but to name off one for each category i watch besides drama...

comedy:Dumb and Dumber (never gets old, makes me laugh every time)
action: The Matrix trilogy
adventure: Indiana Jones trilogy
