Best movies I've ever seen... Hmmm...

1. Shawshank Redemption (Awesome. Exelent.)
2. Braveheart (FREEEEeedom! *whack* )
3. The Great Escape (Steve McQueen kicks ass)
4. Star Wars Saga (all of em. Its one big movie after all)
5. Indiana Jones Trilogy (oh come on, need I explain?)
6. Blues Brothers (We're on a mission from god...)
7. Gladiator (Sweeet...)
8. Black Hawk Down (Sweeet...)
9. Casino (Who can beat Joe Pesci stabbing some one with a pen?)
10. Army of Darkness (This is my BOOMSTICK!)

This is my Top 10. And I've seen HUNDREDS going on a thousand movies.

You mean the ending, right? Yeah...what an ending. Poor guy was tortured to death in front of the whole city. Died a horrible death.

Probably Star Wars episodes 5 and 6.

Some good movies:

• Sphere
  
• Behind Enemy Lines  (I just liked this movie... )
  
• Blade of Fury (it's an Asian movie, you probably haven't heard of it)
  
• TombstoneWith Val Kilmer and Kurt Russel... one of my favorites)
  
• The Mummy/The Mummy Returns (even though some parts were incredibly cheesy and totally non-scary, i liked them)
  
• X-Men (great)
  
• Bad Company (pretty new movie, but incredibly cool)
  
• Mission: Impossible (1 and 2) (lol )
  
• Spiderman
  

can't think of any others offhand.  How about some of yours? [/B]

Oh, man.... I made the mistake of watching Sphere back-to-back with Event Horizon during a very boring weekend in the army... like seeing the same movie twice. Kinda spoiled both of them for me.

And dude: Mission Impossible 1 & 2?!? Pardon me, but I grew up with Mission Impossible (the series), and those 2 movies were just bad and worse... in the first one they suddenly have everyone become traitors, so Cruise has to do "it" alone. Teamwork was always a major part of M:I. And the second one was a half-hour movie with of special effect stunts and  slow-motion scenes that made it qualify as a full-blown movie. Oh, yeah - no team-work there, either. They both get a thumbs-down from me.

Now Ocean's 11 was a movie with a true Mission: Impossible feel to it - centered around teamwork, with a lot of plot twists and an incredible payoff. The only main difference was that in Ocean's 11, the team were "bad guys" in a sense. But that didn't really matter much.

Independence Day
Star Wars: Episode I - A Phantom Menace
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (best of all time!)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek VII: First Contact
Star Trek IX: Insurrection
Star Gate
Pitch Black
Shrek

I'm very much looking forward to seeing Signs and that dragon one.

First Contact was VIII; just remember that all the better Star Trek movies are the even-numbered ones. Insurrection wasn't so good that I'd put it on my top-ten, but it was pretty fun - kinda like a long, good episode.

Oh, and... The Phantom Menace and AotC?? Huh?

Pretty many like AotC, but that I don't understand how can TPM be favorite...

[Dark_4ce]

I liked the Phantom Menace. I mean yeah, sure its not all dark and murky like the first trilogy, but it wasn't supposed to be. My stand point on the whole thing is, that it's Lucas's baby, so if he wihshes to throw in the Teletubies in EPIII to join up with Jar Jar who discovers he has force powers, SO BE IT! It will be part of Star Wars, and not me, or anyone can change it otherwise.

Concerning Star Wars, Lucas is its god. And he can do what he wants. If he will drag it through the mud, we can't get angry at him for it. Its not ours. No matter how many times we've watched it to escape from the harsh horrors of reality in our past. No matter how many countless hours we've played with the toys when we were kids. No matter how much we've grown up with the film, we can't get angry at him for it. Yeah, ok, if the films don't live up to our expectations, its not our fault. Like I said before, we grw up with it, its almost a part of our lives, and to see new movies bring in new things is scary and HUMANS in general are xenophobes.

Damn... I gotta take it easy... *Still pissed off about remember Moulin Rouge...*

Maybe I should rephrase that...

I liked Phantom Menace, enough to recognise it as a part of Star Wars. And people who hate it solely because of Jar Jar or that its the cool thing to do, should be shot.

[Stryke 9]

Who hates it because of Jar Jar? Everyone I know hates it because it's a bad movie.

Dude, you reeeaaallly gotta lay off of the snuff....

But while we're on Star Wars, RotJ is my favorite. Yub Yub, NeoHunter!

And if Lucas does 7,8 and 9, I certainly hope he uses Timothy Zahn's Thrwan trilogy as the basis. Those rocked!

[Cannikin]

Black Hawk Down
Saving Private Ryan

NOTHING beats a realistic war/action movie. These show true justice to combat.

I shudder in revulsion at the thought of cheesy crap where the hero magically avoids a trillion bullets flying at him just by diving in random directions, meanwhile hitting every single person shooting at him with pinpoint accuracy from his unlimited ammo pistol. And don't even get me started about that vile abomination known as "Rambo." Those movies made me wanna puke.

[Redfang]

I don't hate TPM, but Jar-Jar makes it much worse. Even without Jar-Jar it wouldn't be too good, though, but a lot better at least.

I sure hope he would, but it seemed to end at the episode 6. At least Yoda is dead, and so is Darth Vader and the emperor...

Which is why he should, IMHO, base it off Zahn's trilogy - Awe-inspiring baddies, very good plot w/ plenty of cliffhangers/twists, etc. Have you never read them?

Cannakin: Welcome the the HLPBB!!!

In case of emergency, shotguns, errr.... flamethrowers can be found under your seats. Exits are to the rear and left. Oh, and let's not forget, uhmmm.... uhhh... drat!

No.

Aliens is damn good... Can't think of a single "best" movie I watched, though...

Ack, don't hurt me! Actually I'm not new to the FS community. I hung around the VBB a lot since June 2000, but it went kinda down the drain so now I was just lurking in the shadows till now.

Oh and you're the 3247674867828498586th person to spell my name like that. Must be a conspiracy. Btw, my name has NOTHING to do with "Anakin" and has been in existance loooong before Star Wars popped into Lucas' mind. I'll give $0.00000000000001 to anyone who figures out exactly where it came from.

That's why I thought your name sounded familiar. I remember you from VBB. But hey, you might not be new to FS community, but new to HLPBB, unless you're a lurker ( ).
 
j/k, I also used to browse HLP before registering...
 
Also, how many planets have you visited during you lifetime?

i honestly, truly thinks Star Trek Movie sucks. And anon: how can u like The One.  That's like on of the lamest movies ever created in the whole of mankind.

I can't believe i forgot Terminator 2 and Shrek.

How come no one mentioned Austin Powers and Men in Black (the first one of course)

Like an0n said... he likes The One because Jet Li kicks ass  It may be lame, but Jet Li makes up for it!

Because Austin Powers and Men in Black are comedies, not really 'favorite' movies... they're funny, but you can't watch them like 3 or 4 times

you got it wrong... he said:

"I... am nobody's *****...

You... are MINE!"  then the whole mob attacks him and he wips their ass

I'll bet no one in this forum can guess what two styles were used in that movie.  Both were unique in a hollywood movie, and were hardly used in any Asian movies too.  Anyone?



Ocean's 11 was good, but because it was so confusing, I only understood how it worked like 2 days after i saw the movie!

Gladiator and the Matrix are awesome...

The first thought that popped into my mind bout' your name was machaly coulkin. Maybe i'm high, maybe its the oatmeal, but it just sounds right

But that's the whole point... Thrawn is even more powerful, because he's got a whole species that will die for him, and they're the best hand-to-hand combat fighters in the world!

...unti Leia unveils the conspiracy and they start hating him
