yeay. luc besson is probably my fav director. I think I've wathced leon and the fifth element about a million times. haven't wathced nikita as much, tho, as I don't have it on dvd or vhs or anything. same with the taxi movies.

The Taxi movies are not from Besson, they're from Gérard Pirès. Besson coproduced, and that's it. Well maybe he wrote the story too actually, but that's nothing to be so proud of

And now that other people mention them, Princess Bride and Blues Brothers are also among my faves.

The thing with Princess Bride is that I saw it when I was like 6 years old and I kept quoting from it for the next 10+ years but I never knew which movie it was from. Then I finally saw it a few years ago and I was like "Oh so thats where I got it from".

The Big Lebowski

[Zarax]

Matrix and anything Stanley Kubrik made...

[pyro-manic]

Erm, can't give one favourite, but here's some pretty damn good 'uns:

The Big Lebowski
Fargo
Brother, Where Art Thou?
Full Metal Jacket
Leon
Vertigo
Terminator 2
El Cid (good film, but Charlton Heston is a tit)
Pulp Fiction (best Tarantino film)

Er.... there's loads more, but I can't think of them right now....

EDIT: Ooh! And Pirates of the Caribbean, purely because of Johnny Depp's awesome acting.

[Mr Carrot]

A red storm rising movie would ****ing rock, though it would have to be a trilogy.

Good for us Brits cos clancy waxes lyrical about the British forces ( be good to see a cold war movie even mention the BAOR)

[Zarax]

Tom Clancy absolutely rules when talking about conflicts... Too bad he's getting really pro Bush in his books

[Rictor]

From what I understand, he's always be extremely pro-American. Its just that Bush happens to be a bit more to a military writer's liking than for example Clinton.

Oh and, how could I forget.

Big Blue

[Zarax]

Yes, but in his last books he's starting to write like the republican party...

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.

you have exceptionally good taste for a sci-fi action game board..

[01010]

"O' Brother Where Art Thou" is one of the best films I've ever seen, as is "The Big Lebowski"

Also, I don't think anyones even mentioned Taxi Driver yet, oh and the Shawshank Redemption kicks an unholy amount of ass.

[SadisticSid]

Silence of the Lambs - better than its 'prequel' and sequel.

As Good as it Gets - probably Jack Nicholson's best film ever!

Gladiator - tops everything I can think of for overall cinematic quality

And the anime 'film' award has to go to Ghost in the Shell for me.

[Jiggyhound]

ginger snaps! lesser known, but a very well made and scripted horror flick, quite intelligent too.

'existence', with a french accent on the last e. Great sci-fi stuff, leaves you thinking.

Im into the whole well scripted low budget movies thing, they are usually the best as directors tend to get carried away with large budgets and rely heavily on the special effects and action scenes, just look at the latter two matrix films - a load of tosh.

[diamondgeezer]

These are the films we watch over and over in this gaff:

Stargate
Alien
Aliens
Dark City
Terminator 2
Starship Troopers
Event Horizon (even though listing this one here usually gets me shouted at)
Matrix
13th Warrior
Predator
Independance Day (lost our copy, BOO!)
LotR

[Nico]

ah, yeah, Dark City is neat.

[magatsu1]

Big Trouble in Little China


(I'm in a silly mood)

Go watch Gymkata, Wizards of the Lost Kingdom, and Inseminoid. Actually read the IMDB user comments for al of them. They'll crack you up.

[Dough with Fish]

Band of Brothers

That's not a movie (?!)

[redsniper]

Hmmm... Princess Bride is close to being my fav, but I think I'll have to say:
[size=8][glow=red]Return of the Jedi[/size][/glow]

It's that final lightsaber fight that gets me, Luke vs Darth, it's just... awesome.
