What is Your Favorite Movie or Film?

[fulano]

Well, since I'm currently obsessed with it, Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22. Such a lovely movie...

Aside from that though, Donnie Darko is one of my all time favorite movies. I've seen that more than 5 times methinks.

Agreed. Lovely movie. It ain't Robocop 2, though... ...odd childhood, don't ask.

For a moment, in the third quarter of the movie I was like "What the fuck, they did what?!," but at the end I was like "Oh, right...wait, ain't that supposed to happen later?"

After the credits I was like "I knew they wouldn't just drop plot strands like that!"

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Independence day by far!!!

The best speech in the world features in that film

 

[electric discordian]

Well, Spinal Tap is probably my main obsession. The Wickerman, Phantasm, Man Bites Dog, Halloween 3, most John Carpenter films (yes even ghosts of mars!)

I am a sucker for Schlock horror and Black Comedies in the main, though I do also love a good Western or film Noir.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Simple, The Crow, best movie I have ever seen and ever will see, the comic was far better, but of course that's like trying to compare any film to the original writing.

Well that's a blast from the past! Haven't seen the crow in ages! Fucking love the soundtrack to it

May rummage around and find it later

The scene with Eva 03 was brutal. The scene was exactly the same as in the original anime... until the Eva grew extra arms. Then they added children singing about friendship. It made my jaw drop and gave me the same feeling as in EoE at the end of the Mass Produced Eva fight. Both times with Asuka, oddly enough.

From what I can tell, it seems that the movies are going to go in this order, according to the series:
Rebuild 1 : episodes 1 - 6
Rebuild 2 : episodes 7 - 19
Rebuild 3 : episodes 20 - 24
Rebuild 4 : episodes 25 -26

That's my prediction anyway; Anno will likely change things up on us. We're only half way through so it's perfectly fine for him to leave several plot holes open. I just can't wait for Glorious Pirate Asuka to appear.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and A Clockword Orange. They're both great and messed up.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

Hackers... Followed by WarGames..

 

[Kajt]

My favourite film is either Forrest Gump or Braveheart. I can't decide, they're both such great films.

 

[k-ossuburb]

I have no idea, my tastes are very diverse. I loved the movies: "The Will Be Blood", "Cube", "Terminator", "Requiem For A Dream", "Wristcutters", "Up", "XistenZ", "Fight Club", "Battle Royale", "Little Miss Sunshine", "Splinter", "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Alien", "Undead", "Shaun Of The Dead", "Dawn Of The Dead", "The Evil Dead", "Hellraiser", "City Of Lost Children", Pan's Labyrinth", "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain", "The Thing", "Brazil" and loads more besides. But at a push I'd probably go for "Leon" just for the nostalgia elements it has for me.

 

[Zuljiin]

Big Lebowski. Hands down.

 

[Iampringles]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and The Shawshank Redemption.

 

[Nazulu]

Disney's Fantasia (1940), one of the first and still one of the most artistic animated films ever made.

I got the inspiration to write/play music and draw from Fantasia alone.

 

[Ewyll]

V for Vandetta is probably my favourite film.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

1. Clerks.
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3. Fight Club

Also, your description of films-slash-movies fails because you list Evil Dead 2. If you think that movie is deep and requires thinking, you're not very deep yourself. No offense. (I loved the Evil Dead series, btw. Boomstick ftw.)

 

['Aredor]

For those asking, I consider films to be much more formal, have a message, and require serious thinking to understand what's going on or behind the scenes. Whereas movies are easily approachable and can be enjoyed by anyone and don't necessarily have a serious message to give. A more recent example of a film would be District 9, and a more recent example of a movie would be the Hangover.

That's exactly what I've always said, but every time I tell that to someone I get looked at as if I was crazy. It's two different words, why shouldn't they have different meaning? And there's no such thing as a "popcorn film" or an "art movie" - it's popcorn movie and art film.

OT: Too many excellent films to be able to name one, if anything I could make it a rundown by genre.

 

[Ldude893]

Star Wars A New Hope
The Simpsons Movie
The Truman Show

 

[General_Potatoes]

man i have so many but to name a few ( not in order )
1. zombieland
2. Lord of the rings triliogy
3.Halo Legends
4.Kung pow
and some more but i forgot what the names of those movies were

 

[iLikeHippos]

Big Lebowski. Hands down.

Gawwh!

Well...
..
Hmmm...

Avatar. Because fate forced me to watch it 4 times, which is 3 times more than I originally would had watch it.

I'm not joking.
First time I saw it in the cinema. Was an OK movie I thought. Wasn't going to rent it again or any thing...

Three months later, my brother and his girlfriend rents it to watch it in their room. They wanted me to join in (watching that is).

The third time it was mothers day, and they rented Avatar for my mother to see it. I had to sit next to her and join in with the family. It's freaking mothers day after all. You ought to spend quality time with them than, although of the movie.

...And the fourth time was when I went to my ordinary English class, only for the teacher to say "We are going to see a special movie, taking up three English classes"
Guess which one...

 

[thegreatsage]

In no particular order, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; The Godfather (Part I and II): Lawrence of Arabia; The Dark Knight; Dr.Strangelove and 2001:A Space Odyssey.

 

[UtopiaV1]

Brotherhood [Taegukgi]

The best war-drama made to date, set in civil-war Korea in the 1950's, focusing around two brothers who fight together at first, then on opposite sides of the conflict. It focuses on themes such as loyalty and love (like any great war movie), and has a fantastic directing and great acting to boot. The special edition DVD can be found in the bargain bin of any Blockbusters or HMV near you, and even if you don't like war films, you're doing yourself an injustice not to see it, because not since Saving Private Ryan has a film so accurately and so viscerally captured the pain and suffering, and well as possible redemption to be found, when a country goes to war with itself.
