What is your favorite movie; from before you were born?

[Bat Vader]

Cinematic poetry.
I defy anyone not to weep their guts out to this film.

May I ask as to what the film is about?

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

Airplane, so friggen hilarious.

I think I was born after pulp fiction.

The fundamental "plot", if one could call it that, concerns an angel called Damiel who falls in love with a circus artiste - and subsequently wishes to become human.
It's the most lyrical and beautiful piece of cinema I have ever had the good fortune to see.

 

[Nouw]

Saving Private Ryan. Well, practically all good movies came out before I was born.

 

[CincoDeMayo]

Oh dear, there are too many to choose from, and I was born waaay back in '89.

Rocky?

 

[Kabutos]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Which is, incidentally, my favourite movie.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Empire of the Sun and Ghostbusters, baby.

Born in '93.

 

[sheic99]

More people need to watch Marx Brother movies

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I was gonna say Pulp Fiction, but I beat it out by a few months.

So, I instead say Reservoir Dogs.

 

[Fishehh]

I was born in 1994, so being that I Like the Movie no one has ever seemed to have herd of
"Where Eagles Dare".

 

[Pseudonym2]

I was born in 1988 So ...

...hm...there are a lot of pre-me movies I really like...

Comedy: Monty Python and the Meaning of Life
Action: Pulp Fiction
Sci-Fi: Return of the Jedi

Pulp fiction came out in 1994. It's one of the defining movies of the decade.

For me it would probably be Dr Strangelove. I know it's been chosen before but there is a reason why it's a classic.

 

[Dendred]

Reanimator, with Youg Frankenstein being a close second

I was born 1991

 

[Christemo]

Forrest Gump, which is coincedently my favorite movie ever.

btw, i was born December 95.

 

[fozzy360]

Blade Runner and The Thing...both released in 1982! (It counts because I was born in '87.)

Life changing experiences those movies were.

 

[atalanta]

Vertigo (1958).

The Godfather Films.

Yes, even number 3

Vertigo (1958).

Thats a great film!

Hitchcock FTW.

Hitchcock, hell yeah.

Rear Window is my favourite, followed by Dr. Strangelove, The Empire Strikes Back, and Apocalypse Now.

ETA: born in 1989.

 

[TailsRodrigez]

Ah, I thought from the wording in the scene that the person who was talking was saying his love was dying. It just seemed like it as I was reading the subtitles.

I feel sorry for the above posters. They don't know what they've been missing out on.

Go to your local library and check out "12 Angry Men". You won't be disappointed.

 

[JohnTomorrow]

Well, i was born in 1985 (jesus christ, i feel so old nowadays), so its The Thing for me. Soemthing about a bunch of men totally isolated, not knowing who is who, and (for some reason) weilding flamethrowers.

Plus it had Kurt Russel. He's Snake Plissken, so he's automatically awesome.
