All-time "Quality" favorite movies.

List your top 3 movies of all time:

EDIT: "Quality" movies please... no "Weekend at Bernie's" or somesuch.

Mine are:

1) Forrest Gump - some say it was a tribute to stupidity, I say it was a tribute to simplicity.

2) The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman. A classic masterpiece that most of you probably have not even heard of.

3) Citizen Kane. Another masterpiece, some say it was the best movie of all time. Orson Wells in all his grandeur, a true marvel.

When I was in grade 8 we were watching fight club in class, and the teacher said it would be ok because he would fast forward through all the sex scenes.

Good. More quality.

Wtf is Napoleon Dynamite? I keep hearing that name but I have absolutely no idea what it is.

Wtf is Napoleon Dynamite? I keep hearing that name but I have absolutely no idea what it is.

Preston, Idaho's most curious resident, Napoleon Dynamite (Heder), lives with his grandma and his 32-year-old brother (who cruises chat rooms for ladies) and works to help his best friend, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), snatch the Student Body President title from mean teen Summer Wheatley (Haylie Duff).

its really funny though, if you watch it you will laugh.
But its either one of thoes movies where you love it, or you come out of the theater saying "What The Hell?"

his 32-year-old brother (who cruises chat rooms for ladies)

... sounds interesting, I wonder if it'll come out here... or maybe it already has, and I was asleep.

Edit.. jsut looked it up, it's been and gone here apparentely... awell, I'll get the DVD.

hah yeah I have a shirt that says "Dont Be Jealouse That I've Been Chatting Online With Babes All Day" which is a line that he says in the movie.

Haha Click Here

I think it basically just attracted attention in the USA (I'm not even sure it was shown somewhere else in theatres). It's one of those movies, as Mazz said, that you either like or you don't. But the chances are that someone out of the US won't think too highly of it since it plays a lot on a certain american lifestyle (at least that's how I picked it up as). I though it was ok, it had it's moments, although for the most part I just felt sorry for him, and several other people, for some odd reason, and didn't think it was very funny.

they sound exactly like my friend and his brother

Good Will Hunting
Rounders
Hoop Dreams
Goodfellas
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Ali
Malcolm X
Boiler Room
Finding Forrester
Old Boy
Hotel Rwanda

a bunch more but I can't think of them all

Wow, not only are we both pacers fans, but we have similar taste in movies? SWEET!

But, none of those are in my top 3, my top 3 are American History X, Fight Club and Se7en.

BTW, Napolean Dynomite was the most overrated, overhyped movies ever.

I though it was ok, it had it's moments, although for the most part I just felt sorry for him, and several other people, for some odd reason, and didn't think it was very funny.

That's exactly how I felt when I watched it. It's hilarious seeing my friends imitate him though, but actually watching him do it was kinda sad.

My top 3 movies:

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Forrest Gump
3. American History X

and seven more :

4. Requiem For a Dream
5. American Beauty
6. Fight Club
7. Mulholland Drive
8. Elizabeth
9. Pulp Fiction
10. Memento

My top 3 movies:

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Forrest Gump

You must really like Tom Hanks. So do I.

Even if Tom Hanks wasn't in Saving Private Ryan, it'd still be my number one movie since that's probably the most amazing war movie I've ever seen. But yeah, I like Tom Hanks, and I'm looking forward to watching The Da Vinci Code movie when it comes out, even though (as Jackal has said before) he doesn't really fit the role. But his acting is superb.

3. American History X

American History X is Good!

I hven't read the book, but Tom is very versatile. IU believe he'll surprise you.
