So recently I just saw a bunch of wonderful films. I saw War Horse, The Help, and an old classic Crocodile Dundee.
I really want to see The Titanic, but my parents are totally against it. I know everything bad that happens in it, but they still won't budge. Grrr!!!

The only movies I can think of that has ever left me literally awe-struck as the credits rolled are The Devil's Rejects and Jacob's Ladder. I should be able to come up with more later.

the dark knight is my favourite movie. but im not a batman nerd

Shawshank Redemption, The Mummy and Full Metal Jacket are three very good movies. I like MANY more though but there's too many to list. These particular movies are always gonna be on the top tier. I'll watch the other posts and see if I can remember any more movies I love.

It's a fantastic movie, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Classics. Blade Runner is the best sci-fi film.

Some other old films I like:
Tokyo Story - one of the saddest films I've ever seen, even though very little happens
Last Year at Marienbad - a really bizarre exercise in style. Could be interpreted as pretentious

Along with many of the others mentioned:

Die Hard
The Fifth Element
The Life of Brian
The Mask
Total Recall
Uncle Buck

Die Hard
Jurrasic Park

I did not like Titanic, but it helped really launch the careers of Winslet and DiCaprio so I'm glad it was a success.

I really could go on and on and on..

You find b-movie fans everywhere!

I really enjoyed Little Shop, though I saw it on one of those huge public domain DVD collections (you know those?) so the quality was bad. I'm pretty sure that added to the charm, though.

I'm actually planning on watching Toxic Avenger soon, as I've never seen a Troma movie.

2001: A Space Odyssey is the best movie I can recommend. So brilliant in so many ways.

Yep, those collections are fun. I watch most of mine on the late night blocks with the running commentary (you know the type ).


Man, you don't know what you're missing. Their films are classics. Just need to remember that their films aren't serious. Also, expect to see some cast members you wouldn't expect

Last time I checked, which was about 8 months ago, you could watch quite a few of their films on Hulu.

It certainly has the best soundtrack ever

I don't understand it's brilliance personally and have only gotten through half of it though

Maybe one day.........
