We haven't had one of these in a while either.

What is your single favorite movie and why?

Mine is Patton, a fairly accurate depiction of the greatest General in the history of the United States Army.

[redmenace]

some consider patton to be a genious, others consider him to be a border-line nut case

[Knight Templar]

[l]Street Fighter[/l]
The Passion

[Thorn]

The Hunt For Red October...
The book was better (one of the few good Clancy novels), but the movie was pretty damn good too...

[neo_hermes]

i agree with you there Thorn.

[Carl]

I don't know, there are so many so close. for now i'll just say The Time Machine (2002)

[Ulala]

Gladiator. *slips back into deep seclusion*

[Stunaep]

Tarkovsky's Solaris.

Beautiful, thought provoking, and very well acted.

[Rictor]

Gladiator came out on video at a time when the TV people cut off the service to my house. So I ended up watching it like 7 times in a period of a few days. Good times

And I can't make up my mind about my all-time fave, but among the top ten would be Fight Club, American History X, K2, Atlantis, White Men Can't Jump (early 90s was the bomb) and some others.

Hrmmm there's a lot of good ones:
2001
2010 (A different type of movie than 2001, but it's still fun. Big clunky Russian spaceship! Yay!)
Red October
The Time Machine (Both versions, 60s and 2000s)
Solaris (Both versions, original and "remake")

...and of course the worst movie ever made:
Plan 9 From Outer Space!

...actually add Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" on to the list of good but quirky movies.

[Ghostavo]

Lost in Space

*runs*

[Nico]

about 50 movies share that place of "favourite movie", for me...

[Setekh]

Agreed, Venom, I'm able to enjoy most movies. Dunno, the one that leaps to mind right now is The English Patient.

I do wish they'd get around to making a Red Storm Rising movie. I'd be so pleased to see that, I could even forgive them for casting Ben Affleck.

[Blaise Russel]

The Anachronox Movie.

Yeah man, I loved that book. Rainbow Six too, great works by Clancy.

[Dark_4ce]

The Shawshank Redemption

At the top of my top 10 líst.

[Fineus]

Like Venom and Setekh I have many movies and I all enjoy them one hell of a lot. But for the sake of choosing a handful...

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan:
Perhaps the single greatest space battle scene ever - especially considering its time. Masterful.

Akira:
Feature length anime goodness. Can be slow in places but it's a great movie anyway.

Donnie Darko:
I don't think I need to go into this

Amelie:
Who'd have thought such a great film could come from France? Well I didn't... but it did anyway. I'm tempted to describe it as "charming".

Hannibal:
Anthony Hopkins just rocks.

28 Days Later:
Apocalyptic zombie fests with great filming techniques and a badass soundtrack to go with it. Virtual unknowns of the film industry shine.

Evil Dead 2:
Give me back my haaaaand!

The Matrix:
'nuff said.

There are more obviously - but I don't want to go to far.

thanks

[Fineus]

Calm down, I just don't know of any other French films of such high quality. The same could be said of England as well
