[colourshift]

What a frustrating day, went through reference photo's...can't find a damn thing that 'talks' to me.... preppin canvas so at least I can say I did something...
Now the Abyss is on, one of my all time favourites...I can watch it over and over.
Mystery Men is another...
X-Men, all of em...um, can I have Hugh Jackman for Christmas? (I've been good, I swear)

So name your fav's, and the worst! if you fancy... (my worst has to be "Clash of the Titans" gotta be one of the only films I've ever walked out of)

[colourshift]

"you have to see with better eyes than that...."

too funny D.

[Frog]

You like fantasy n scifi ??:love:
Whos life is it anyway
Deerhunter
Gladiator (on telly now)
Frida
Most sci fi n fantasy

Opps forgot Rainman and forest gump

[colourshift]

Yup Michael...escapism is my middle name.
Can't WAIT for the "300" to come out....(not sci fi or fantasy...but looks incredible)

[colourshift]

I'm glad you didn't list "deliverance"

[ABD]

Hahah, Clash of the Titans is one of the only old and crappy movies i'll sit down and watch.........Just cuz back when i was a youngin i used to watch all that stuff with my Father...We loved all the "mystical" stuff...Sure it's terrible, But It was hard to get yer fix of sword wielding skeletons back in the day.:clapping2:


As far as other movies there's just to many.....Anything with naked people is always fun...Explosions, Car chases, People getting chopped up by mutant rednecks, All good.,hahha!

[colourshift]

Naked? did you say naked?
Oh yeah, Naked is good.

Lol, we're not talkin about the same thing, are we?

[tomcat]

favourite movies eh?, Hmm lets see

Back to the future trilogy(corny I know)
Alien (all of them, watched that often I cant watch them anymore!!)
Gone in sixty seconds( the remake with Nicholas Cage)
The transporter
War of the worlds
The Core
The Thing


I have loads more but basicaly anything with Scifi/Horror or cars in and I'm sold

[Frog]

deliverence good bit of music in it Duelin banjos. Geeze I spent hours hours learning to play that.

Movies have to "take me away" or have charactors that draw me in, and of course some movies you like because of what was going on in your life at the time you saw them.

N of course NAKED always helps.

[egneg]

Now the Abyss is on, one of my all time favourites...I can watch it over and over.


Me too!
Not to often that my fellow beings are shown in a good way.

[seadog]

my top 5

DUNE
Howl's Moving Castle
Transformers the Movie
PI
Ninja Scroll

[colourshift]

I'm a wus, I can't watch movies like Alien or the Thing without sleeping with the light on for at least three days. Saw Alien on a date...some date...I ended up with my head buried in his chest through most everything after it exploded outta the guys gut.

[tomcat]

Bet the guy was pleased, Lol.....


The first one is definately the best, second was ok, after that they sort of went downhill.

I love the Abyss too, the special edition is best as there's some cut stuff put back in that actually makes the film make more sense. Best bit for me(makes me upset) is the bit where she drowns!!.

[colourshift]

Not so much Tomcat... not so much...hey! I was an innocent then...sorta.

[ABD]

Naked? did you say naked?
Oh yeah, Naked is good.

Lol, we're not talkin about the same thing, are we?

hahaha!..Hay whatever page yer on. I'll be there with a lick of the fingers and a flip of the paper..woo hooo!




..Tell me that didn't come out with about 5 different meanings!!hahahaha!
we still talking about the same thing???..think i lost myself somewhere:speechless-smiley-0

[colourshift]

I think Tim did really well in drag....
He was the demon in Legend, too...I'd know that voice anywhere.

[corey]

Favorite all time movie is Rooster Cogburn. As for sci fi I like the hellraiser series and any of the marvel series.

[blinddog 99]

I watched "The Departed" this weekend, what a great film.. Course, I am a big Scorcese fan anyway, but a superb film. Two paws up!

[corey]

Every couple of months Ill have what I call a Duke day. Grab a bottle of morgan and my compolation set and sit on the couch all day drinkin and quoting the Duke. "Fill your hands you son of a B#$&h".

[egneg]

My very favoritist of them all is ... "Evil Roy Slade".

[Full Blast]

Ok now. What about the Green Mile? or The Shawshank Redemption? The Abyss, Rocks! Now youve got me thinkin, now that I have a HD All the movies I gotta watch again! More than I can handle! aaaaccccckkkkkk!

[colourshift]

Shawshank was good...green mile I couldn't watch (makes me angry)...

[corey]

The natural. Even though its a chick flick its still pretty good

[colourshift]

Bull Durham, definately a chick flick...but good.

[blinddog 99]

The Constant Gardener, a chick flick, I guess so, but a superb film..... (you see, real men aren't afraid to cry....)

[blinddog 99]

My absolute favorite chick flick would have to be Murphy's Romance. Just love both lead actors a bunch, great chemistry, shit, where's my hanky......

[anderekel]

Best movie ever, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[colourshift]

I liked that movie too Scott!
Nightmare is cool...but would rather watch a pixar movie...
I still haven't seen over the hedge yet, but the promos with the cheese whiz coming out his nose had stuff comin out MY nose.

[colourshift]

I'll watch just about anything with Robin Williams in it, or Sean Connery...

[Marz]

I saw Ghost Rider last night and it was awesome!

Braveheart--"Freedom!"
The Fifth Element--Milla Jovovich is fine
Predator--its just badass
Spaced Invaders--"search for intelligent life? that'll throw em of the trail"

[mongoose]

"We've got a blind date with Destiny, and it looks like she's ordered the lobster. "
Mystery Men is one of my favourite movies too, I must have seen it 50 times already. My all time would be Star Wars- A New Hope. T2 and Aliens and Mad Max are all up there too.

[corey]

Natural Borne Killers and The Kill Bills.

[Cowboy]

#1 Bullett . with Steve MQueen
#2 thru 50 All of John Waynes movies

[bigwater]

My hands down favorite movie of all times is "Pulp Fiction"

[blinddog 99]

Ron, I'm with you on that. Corey too, I am a huge Tarantino fan, love his weird stuff. Ever seen dusk till dawn? Damn funny movie, Cheech Marin steals the show.

[tomcat]

ER....I dont think so, Salma Hayek definately steels that film, or at least she did for me.......*cough*..ahem.:thumbsup:

[corey]

Had a room mate once that for 6 months straight every day after work would watch Days of thunder. Til I microwaved his tape.

[Clem]

Gotta go with Cowboy on the Magnificent Seven, it comes on, I'm watching.

Recent, Pirates of the Caribbean, the walking under water is great.

Some of my favorites movies and quotes

The Last Detail (1973)

Mulhall: Are you sh!ttin' me?
Mulhall: You're sh!ttin' me!
M.A.A.: I would never sh!t you. You're my favorite turd!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Night Nurse: Mr. Turkle?
McMurphy: Where the f#ck is he, why doesn't he answer her?
Taber: He's jerkin' off somewhere.
Orderly Turkle: Ain't no one jerkin' off nowhere muthaf#cker!
McMurphy: Turkle what the f#ck are you doing in here? Go out and talk to her.
Orderly Turkle: I'm doin' the same f#ckin' thing your doin'- hidin'!

The Tenant (1976)

Trelkovsky: If you cut off my head, what would I say... Me and my head, or me and my body? What right has my head to call itself me?

Crumb (1994)

Robert Crumb: When I was about five or six? - I was sexually attracted to Bugs Bunny. And I cut out this Bugs Bunny off the cover of a comic book and carried it around with me. Carried it around in my pocket and took it out and looked at it periodically, and it got all wrinkled up from handling it so much that I asked my mother to iron it on the ironing board to flatten it out, and she did, and I was deeply disappointed 'cause it got all brown when she ironed it, and brittle, and crumbled apart.


..well this is only a few of my favorites.

russian spy: "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

They're gonna make a fourth Indiana Jones movie!

[CarsonsChaos]

Ok I've got one that nobody has ever heard of...
The Legend of 1900.
Starring Tim Roth...
That's a tear jerker.
I think it's on IFC Monday.
Tim Roth was the cop in ressouvor Dogs and the punk kid in Pulp Fiction.
But this movie is nothing like those flicks.
If your looking for action, skip it. but if you like sad endings, it's for you.

Star Wars (all of them!), Lord of the Rings (all of them), Mystery Alaska, Flyboys to name a few.

That is one of my favorites also ABD! I would like to see a modern day remakke of it. I also like dragon slayer!

[colourshift]

Lol, Clash of the Titans has gotta be the only movie I've ever walked out of...before it was done. Just couldn't stand it.

But 300? I was riveted.

Bicentennial Man was great, then again, I'll watch just about anything with Robin in it.

[ABD]

That is one of my favorites also ABD! I would like to see a modern day remakke of it. I also like dragon slayer!

Yeah, I liked Dragon slayer too..........Would be cool to see new versions of that stuff with Modern CGI and all that...

Anyone see Dark Crystal?...1982 I believe...With the Gelflings and Sketsies...(think they were called?)...I remember them scaring the waa hoo outta me in the theater..I was 6 or so.....Still a great flick though!

[Memas]

SPIRITED AWAY, LotR'S TRILOGY, CRASH, SPAWN, ALPHA DOG..... and many more but again anything with cars, walking dead, occultisms, apocalyptic theories....:angel-smiley-007:

[Frog]

Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams

I,m with you on that one, definatly one of my favs

[colourshift]

I'm a sucker (no pun intended) for Vampire movies...or series. I noticed that there's a new series coming out in the fall called "New Amsterdam"....and I love "Blood Ties"....
But my new favourite series has to be Burn Notice. On USA. I know I'm morphing from the original intent of this thread...then again, could it be considered a hi-jack when it's my thread?
Piffle.
I pretty much talk about what I wanna talk about WHEN i wanna.

[AreJay]

Lol, Clash of the Titans has gotta be the only movie I've ever walked out of...before it was done. Just couldn't stand it.

You missed the "good" part then. You wouldn't believe the super special effects on the metalic owl at the end of the movie. I think they had a budget of $500 to make that movie, LOL; it was cheesier than a Kraft plant.

[ABD]

Hahahaa..Bubo the Owl!...Weeee Hoooo!..Good stuff:dance:

[colourshift]

Later on, I had caught parts on TV...but for a movie that I went to see at a theatre? oh god, bad bad bad.....so I did get to see the cheesy owl stuff, but at a later date.
I'm a perfectionist, there are some things that I can just "let go" with effects, but hey, if you're gonna do em....do em really really well...or...well, don't. Hell, older movies with archaic technology have done better...I felt duped into seeing the film. I think that's why I walked out.

[XZOTIC INK]
