All-time "Quality" favorite movies.

by **AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy** on Tue May 10, 2005 8:53 pm

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. Well, suffice to say, both times he only made it to the vcr right after the scene was done, and it was really funny

That's all I really remember of the movie lmao

Good Will Hunting
Rounders
Hoop Dreams
Goodfellas
Kill Bill 1 & 2

Oh yeah Goodfellas was good...

Ali was ok I guess...kinda got boring after a while. I enjoyed the first time though. Then I watched it again after a few years and it kinda got draggy for most of the movie

Add Gladiator to my list as well (Y)

by **Jona** on Wed May 11, 2005 2:20 am

The Shawshank Redemption - The only movie I've cried in... :cry:

Pulp Fiction - Anything by QT, but this is just his masterpiece.
A Clockwork Orange - Just a classic.
The Silence of the Lambs - Sublime performance by Hopkins.
Se7en - Everything was perfect, mood, theme, actors, everything.

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?"

by **J@3** on Wed May 11, 2005 5:51 am

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

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 :lol:

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.

by **J@3** on Wed May 11, 2005 6:06 am

they sound exactly like my friend and his brother :shock:

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.

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

You must really like Tom Hanks. So do I. :wink:

by **cyanide** on Wed May 11, 2005 9:10 am

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.

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