some of your favorite movies

....Thats it. Ghost Lyric just became the one I would most like to have movie night with.

 

This hasn't been mentioned yet, and when I think about it, it's a top-10er for sure

Schindler's List

A lot of propaganda in that, but very good movie nevertheless.

 

I fucking love that movie. Its beautifully odd.



I like most of the movies in this thread.

These are what come to mind as quite memorable right now:
Broken Flowers
Dead Man
The Science of Sleep (by the same director of Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind but much better, I recommend it)
Akira
The End of Evangelion
The Rain People
Badlands
Days of Heaven
I Heart Huckabees
Spirited Away
Grave of the Fireflies
Princess Mononoke
My Neighbour Totoro
The Acid House
Anchorman
Trainspotting
Borat
The Outlaw Josey Wales
The Good the Bad and the Ugly (I can't find the first 2 in the trilogy )
Dazed and Confused
The Butcher Boy (only because I love the book)
The Three Colours Trilogy
The Empire Strikes Back
Jesus' Son
Edward Scissorhands

I know there are far more but I can't remember them.

I really liked these Documentaries:
The Devil and Daniel Johnston
Crumb
American Splendour

 

some of these movies are glorious, and some are gloriously shit.

 

Yeah, I hate to be a pretentious film snob but some of the mentions in this thread frighten me.

 

Like????

 

Some that just pop into my mind.
Magnolia
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii
The Royal Tenenbaums
Hoop Dreams in the Doc category
Wizards

 

Adaptation

 

The Illusionist
Shawshank Redemption
Mighty Ducks

To name a few, there are dozens and dozens.

Ghostworld and Donnie Darko started to bore me very quickly. Garden State is annoyingly sentimental though I won't write it off as a bad film, I still enjoy it.

Are you happy now that I am confronting innocent people about their film taste?

 

I'm Not There
Fantasia
Rope

 

I appreciate your attitude, Face Eater.
having excellent taste in cinema, like I do, can be lonely.

 

Well, you have me, if my taste is remotely excellent. Hell, most good films impact you on such a personal level that they are better off watched alone.

 

I agree, I just mean a lot of the pictures I like are met with indifference by others and there is less to talk about later. most people don't want to see anything they're not used to, they just want to be pandered to.
my favorite director sums it up:

Don't be such an arrogant cock dribbling.

 

I seem to remember you being the most consciously elitist music snob before conspiracy ruled your life.

 

I agree. Rat, your entire philosophy on music, politics and life seems to revolve around yourself being infinitely superior to every other living being on the planet. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I am simply stating a fact.

 

Damn it you pole smoker.... I like Cassavetes' work just as much as you.

 

I would have figured.

I don't want to be a snob, the masses forced me to be one.

 

I am horribly ashamed to say that I have never seen a single cassavetes flick, but I think a lot of it has to do with exposure and availability.

I don't remember seeing any of his movies at the big arthousey video warehouse over the other side of town, thats pretty much where i'd see them if they were anywhere.

Can you forgive my ignorance?
