So many good movie out there.  Just picked those from my top rated netfix.

Hard for me to make a list like this, it seems to change every few months.  Close nominees were Casino Royale, Watchmen, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Sleepy Hollow, The Departed, Apocalypse Now, and many others.

1.  Ishtar
2.

Quote from: Speeddog on March 24, 2010, 07:08:16 PM

Blade Runner

[thumbsup]

Man, already a couple of Avatars.  Maybe its just me but while I enjoyed that movie a lot because of the imagery and what not, the plot was sooooooo unoriginal and acting really not that great.


I like Sleepyhollow, Apocolypse Now and Zombieland a lot too ;D

"Avatar" will be the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" of this generation.

It's all gimmick.  Either that gimmick will take off and be the new standard (like sound in film in the late '20s), or it will fade away the way 3D did in the '50s.  Either way, "Avatar" will fade from memory.  How many people watch Jolsen's "The Jazz Singer" or "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" today and say, "Wow!  What a great film!"

If "Avatar" does have "legs" it will be with the fanboy types normally associated with Star Trek conventions and rubber pointed ears.  That is, people who really, REALLY want to live there and don't want reality to stand in the way.

boondock saints
fear and loathing

The only reason I put Avatar was because of how visually amazing it was.  While I don't think the rest of it was horrible (wasn't great) I do think it was visually groundbreaking.  Takes some creativity to make that much detail.  I can still remember the first time I saw The Matrix and I think I'll remember the first time I saw Avatar for a long time.

It's neat to hear when people are particularly touched by new technology like you were. Personally I too was underwhelmed with the story/plot, but found the construction of the film to be amazing. Unfortunately though, I don't think that it lived up to the hype. The future of filming however, will owe a lot of acknowledgement to the new pioneering techniques used in Avatar.

1. Moon
2. Gran Torino
3. Serenity
4. Layer Cake
5. Swingers

Shawshank Redemption
Transformers
The Hangover
Iron Man

Bold choice indeed! Have you seen "The Road" with Viggo Morttesen(sp?)? similar and about 1/3 as long

Quote from: djrashonal on March 25, 2010, 04:27:26 PM

I have not seen the movie, however, I have read the book, and thought it was good. Depressing, but very good.

An absolute best 5 is an impossible choice for me, so I further restricted myself to (a) no genre repeats, and (b) enduring because of being a quality standout within its genre.  That's still hard, but:

1) Blade Runner
2) The Shawshank Redemption
3) The Big Lebowski
4) Up
5) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

And a bonus shout out to:

6) Black Rain

...just because I happened to think about it, and it's fun, has some depth underneath the action, has motorcycles, and, hey, Ridley Scott!

Here's my current top 5

1. Godfather
2. Fightclub
3. Kill Bill vol.1

2. It's a Wonderful Life (I'll only watch it alone as i WILL cry at the end)
3. 12 angry men
4. Das Boat
5. Love actually (yea it's a chick flick but what the hell)

I'd like to have The Worlds fastest Indian is my honerable mention. I'd by a ticket to watch Sir Anthony Hopkins make a sandwich.

There are so many great films it really is impossible to rank them down to just five, or ten, or even one hundred.

Plus, I can never think of them all when asked, so I defer to AFI's Top 100.

Some of my picks from that list:

The Godfather
Casablanca
Lawrence of Arabia
Wizard of Oz
The Searchers
Sunset Blvd.
On the Waterfront
Chinatown
Double Indemnity
Apocalypse Now
Maltese Falcon
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Dr. Strangelove
King Kong (1933)
Rocky
Netwrok
African Queen
Unforgiven
Shawshank Redemption
The Apartment
Spartacus
Sophie's Choice
Blade Runner

Some not from the AFI list:

Public Enemy
The Red Violin
Bobette's Feast
Mrs. Miniver
The Three Godfathers (that's one movie; not the three different Godfather movies)
Stagecoach
Rio Grande
Red River
One, Two, Three
Sweet Smell of Success
Cool Hand Luke
Hud
The Road Warrior
The Elephant Man

off the top of my head...

amelie
grail
citizen kane
slap shot
big fish

Another couple that I would add to my list would be:

Runaway Train
American Graffiti


I keep on thinking of more every day, but these are movies that I would watch all the time & never get old.  ;)

Also...

The Italian Job (not the remake, but the one with Michael Caine)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The Little Shop on the Corner
Destry Rides Again
Johnny Guitar
Just about everything from Pixar
Just about everything from Billy Wilder
Once Upon a Time in the West
Yojimbo
High Plains Drifter
Outlaw Josey Wales

I can't believe, no love for Pulp Fiction hmmm, I've even seen a few Reservoir Dogs, and no Pulp Fiction, strange.

Pulp Fiction
Toy Story
Matrix
The Usual Suspects
Snatch

snatch was pretty badass, if you like that you'll like Revolver

Inglorius Basterds
Le Samourai
The Wages of Fear
The Salton Sea
Army of Shadows

I've been on a French New Wave kick lately.

in no particular order:

better off dead
forest gump

Snatch is very good but I think Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is the better Guy Ritchie movie.

both were good, but snatch would never have been made if LSaTSB wasn't what it was

1. Sunshine
2. Moon

Its Late so I will play:

not neccesarily in this order:

fight club
dr. strangelove
flags of our fathers
usual suspects
grand prix/le mans/bullitt/vanishing point/gone in 60 seconds/le rendesvous (add them all together and you'd still have a crap film, but the cars... the cars... I call this my sandra bulloch vote, totally BS but screw you, it's my vote, i'm not telling you how much i got paid to make it)

[laugh]

meh.  

I get it, the dude was emotionally distraught, broken...  he just seemed too much of a whiny pregnant dog and it got annoying real quick... sitting through all of that just to get to what turned out to be a good ending was tough for me.

spoiler-ish content...
*and I don't mean the controversial... interaction... between the characters. I mean the scene as a whole, and how everything unfolds was really quite good.

I figured as much, his Buffalo 66 movie was okay at best, but I thought it would be interesting to see if Chloë Sevigny spits or swallows? That is the true spoiler alert....
