Favorite movie
« on: January 11, 2008, 05:56:10 AM »
We all talk about movies, what we like, don't like. What is your favorite all time movie. Mine would have to be Raiders of the Lost Ark. For some strange reason I also always liked Time Bandits. These of course also are standards: Caddyshack Blazzing Saddles Animal House

Hard to pick one. (obviously) For me, I'm stuck between."As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster." "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops boy." "We can't. Why not? Because we're being hunted."

Just saw Shawshank Redemption again the other day - still fantastic after 100 viewings.

i'll have to give 2 answers. Irreversible: for achieving that which most films can't. affecting you so powerfully, so forcefully, that you basically can't forget it. it's experience is truly fitting of its name. for something that I truly enjoy throwing in at any time, any occasion, that if i'm channel surfing and it's on I'll watch it, etc... Tombstone

I still can't believe Forrest Gump won the Academy Award that year.
I'm not sure I could narrow it down to one film. I'd really have to think about this one.

You can name a couple. I know I have a hard time saying one is my favorite.

Shawshank is in my top five for sure. This is a tough question as it kinda depends on genre, mood, etc. For example, I wouldn't put a comedy down as my favorite film ever but
A Fish Called Wanda and
Animal House would easily make the short list.

While watching that intro clip a question popped into my head - has there ever been a movie with more recognizable names (albeit "b" and "c" list actors) than this one?

For me, Casablanca and Shawshank will always be in my top 5 - as they are usually my top 2
Far too many good, quirky comedies to list for me.
