The following come to my mind:

- Donnie Darko
- The Andromeda Strain
- Threads
- Dawn of the Dead
- Day of the Dead
- Das Boot
- Hunt for Red October
- Ravenous
- Mad Max 2
- The Matrix
- Terminator 2

Though I usually have hard time judging how good a movie is, usually I just think its either really crappy or good, with nothing in between :tilt:

Shame to me for not including that movie on my list. Brilliant one, but should be watched at least 2 times to understand it well in my opinion. :)

Odd. Why Part I is not listed on your top 10 at all? :) Usually people like Part I more than Part II, which is of course more depth movie.

[danowat]

Ok, my top 3 favourite films are,

At No1 Donnie Darko, this, I believe, is one of the best films ever made, beautifully shot, great soundtrack, good acting, great storyline, and one of those films that you can watch again and again and alway notice something new.

No2, Shaun of the dead, I am not a huge zombie fan, but this film is top notch, brilliant comedy and quite a good zombie element, Simon Pegg is top class, as are the other actors.

No3, Lost in translation, not a "cool" choice, but a heck of a good movie, its a beautifull, queit and thought provoking film, anyone who has experianced loneliness can relate to this film, also Bill Murry is funny as heck and Scarlett Johansen is hot,hot, hot :)

Dan.

[peeps1980]

I'm just going to say horror films hehe, if you could see my dvd collection you would agree with me. I am a huge fan of far east imports and probable Ju-on 1 and 2, Tale of Two Sisters and Battle Royale are at the top of my list, along with some all time greats like Toy Story 1 and 2, Spaceballs, The Thing, Explorers man I could go on, what a hard question lol, i'll have to have a hard think and come back I think.

We could play a 'who's got the largest collection dvds competition' hehe, i'd come pretty high I think :) some where in the region of 350+ but perhaps for another time.

[Gabkicks]

the 1st battle royale was freaking awsome :) the second one sucked, lol.


<- i just noticed the battle royale announcer chick in your avatar.
The badass uzi guy was awsome.:trampolin nothing quite as shocking or entertaining as watching a bunch of kids my age slaughter eachother.

[StanleyCarter]

Ju-Onn

The first ever horror movie I've watched in a cinema, and sad to say I got so scared I can barely sleep with the lights off for nearly two weeks..... freaking awesome... freaking scary.... man... memories... the nightmares... brrrr~~

Lord Of The Rings

Need I say more, best fantasy movie ever made and also the first that ever get it done right. simply brilliant, gotta love fantasy movies, next stop, Narnia... hehe...

[mrodgers]

Can anyone guess my favorite movie of all time? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?


Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Showing my age here - in 11th grade we use to skip mornings at school all the time and go in late. Of course when this movie came out, we would end up watching it and never made it to school for the afternoons. It now has big sentimental value.

Rainman - Charlie Charlie Babbot pulled and hurt my neck! K-mart sucks. This is probably my favorite movie. I just put Ferris Bueller's Day Off above it for the sentimental value.

Dazed and Confused - Came out after high school and me and the buds sat watching it saying "OMG, there's Ron! Holy crap, that's Jamie!" Every character in that movie reminded us of someone from high school, even though it took place in the 70's and I was in high school in the late 80's (graduate 1990).

Aliens Trilogy
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Days of Thunder
Terminator series
Rocky Series
The Fast and the Fur........ hehe, Can't even write it. Worst movie and worst acting I've ever seen.
The Hitcher-Ruger Hower?
Red Dawn
Lethal Weapon series

The new Star Wars trilogy would have been excellent if they would have focused more on Annikan (sp?) becoming Darth Vader instead of branching off into all the war stuff. There was WAY too much special effects really taking away from the movie. I had high expectations for them and they failed me. Not that I didn't enjoy them.

Oh, and I only saw it once in the list here. I just DL'ed them the other day and watched all of them yesterday at lunch: Teh Carl series. Excellent!!!!!

[no_one]

- City of God
- Empire of the Sun
