Not much of a movie guy, but here's ten of my all-time favorites.

Lake Mungo
Probably the greatest "found footage" movie I've ever seen.

Paranormal Activity
Another great "found footage" entry, but I quite dislike the sequels.

The Orphanage
Extremely tragic ghost story. Very memorable.

Spirited Away
My single favorite movie of all time. In my opinion, it gets no better than this.

Neverending Story
A true classic, and a great memory from my childhood.

Tarzan
My #1 Disney film, by far. Every single aspect is brimming with charm.

John Carpenter's The Thing
Gore and suspense doesn't get much better than this.

127 Hours
Simply amazing. I've yet to encounter a more effective survival film. The fact that it's true is even more incredible.

Touching The Void
The same concept as 127 Hours (as well as true), only the exact opposite in scope.

Into The Wild
An extremely good (and again, true) character study. Very, very slow movie, though.

It's extremely difficult to narrow it down to ten, so if this thread ever pops up again, don't be surprised when my list is completely different.

I tried to watch that a while back. Most of the changes they made irritated me too much . Evey, for example, was completely different.

Indeed, just like the games actually.

1. The New Star Trek(FYI: The next one comes out May 2013.........)
2. Deja vu(one of Denzel's better movies)
3. Man on Fire(another Denzel movie)
4. Paranormal Activity 3
5. The People Under the Stairs
6. Scream 2
7. Insidious
8. Tears of the Sun(war veterans will like this I think)
9. The Good Son
10. The Island(this is my favorite of all time)

In no order:

Citizen Kane
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
The Godfather I & II
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
A Beautiful Mind
American History X
The Count of Monte Cristo
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Silence of the Lambs
No Country For Old Men

it's just because you don't understand

Sunset Boulevard, High Society, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Pianist, The Princess Bride, A Streetcar Named Desire, All About Eve, Some Like It Hot, Dirty Dancing, assorted Disney movies

In no particular order.

Top movies means the ones I go back to watch over and over again, right?



M - Eine Stadt sucht einen M?rder and Metropolis from Fritz Lang

Bladerunner -I've done... questionable things.

Easyrider

The Lords of Flatbush and/or The Wanderers -Queens NY, NY: represent!

A Fistful of Dollars, For a few Dollars More, The good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West <--which ever..

Matrix triology + the animations (gotta have the animations, they complete the story! )

Starwars -all of 'em, cuz I'm not gonna hate -but Han shot first!!

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! -because at times I simply have no taste

Scarface -after which I'm doomed to doing a really lousy Tony Montana impersonation for three days

Bambi, Junglebook, 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp, etc, etc, etc.. -and everyone just *shut up*, m'kay?

In no real order

Pokemon: First Movie
Lion King (Disney Version)
Batman: The Dark Knight
Die Hard 1
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
X-Men: First Class
Hercules (Disney Version)
Alien
Rambo
Rocky IV

Whatever floats your boat. If you watch it over and over again, than you would definitely recommend others watching it wouldn't you?

I've only seen Forrest Gump once, and it was a movie I couldn't beleive I'd never seen before. I was transfixed. If I'd seen it more, then that would have made my list.
My friend wants me to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I've got a list of "films to watch" as well as my favourites.


This is one of my favourites as well, but it's not quite made my ten that I think other people should watch

There's story in those movies? I though they were collections of CGI rendered fight scenes...

My top 10
1. The Silence of the Lambs
2. Rocky
3. Alien
4. Last Samurai
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Le Fabuleux Destin d′Amelie Poulain
7 Seven
8. Aviator
9. Full Metal Jacket
10. Leon

I adored that movie. One of Cruise's best performances, IMO, and he looked strikingly good in that suit of armor. A few shots had me seriously questioning my sixuality. Also, the musical score to that movie was so good that I still occasionally listen to it.

Me too, it's amazing soundtrack, Cruise is the best actor for that movie.I love the quote about finding the most perfect cherry blossom flower, ...they are all perfect, I cry every time I see Katsumoto dying.

I think the guy who played Katsumoto did an outstanding job.

This.

Top Gun is also up there. Just for the volleyball scene.

How could I forget about this..

That reminds me, going to get it on itunes.

Well. just because I like them the best, doesn't mean I think they particular well made -the lords of flatbush is pretty raw, and Buckaroo Banzai is just plain silly:P

If you only watched the movies, that could be your reaction to them.. The full story was spread out over the movies, the animations, graphic novels and a game.

With every next media you opened up more of the story.

great story btw

I can only choose 10?

1. Gran Torino - This movie is just amazing.
2. The Dark Knight - Simply fantastic, might want to watch Batman Begins too.
3. The Lord of the Rings trilogy - I got nothing that hasn't already been said about this one.
4. The Sawshank Redemption - It's just great.
5. V for Vendetta - This one simply never gets boring, I've seen it countless times.
6. Alien and it's sequels - well mainly Alien and Aliens, Alien 3 is ok, resurrection is not even worth watching though.
7. Star Wars - The original trilogy, the prequels are ok I guess, but not as good. If you can get your hands on an older version that George Lucas haven't [censored] with at least.
8. Jason Bourne - this is probably one of the best series of action films ever made.
9. Any old Disney movie - I think my favourite is Hercules, but there are simply so many great ones that I can't decide.
10. My name is Khan - This movie isn't very known, but it tells an absolutely amazing story and is worth a watch.

I could probably give you tons of other movies that are on par with these (Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon comes to mind), but these are the ones that are currently on my top ten. This tend to change with my mood so the list might not be the same for me tomorrow.
