    se7en...I dislike happy endings and that is just about the bleakest ending I have ever seen.

    If you like bleak, absolutely horrific endings, you should watch The Mist.

    I love deep movies with deep meaning. I'm an artistic type. I love that movie The Hours. I find new meaning everytime I watch it. I also love beautifully made films like Life is Beautiful and Memoirs of a Geisha. Soooo many great movies! I also am a huge fan of the horror genre, but more spooks instead of gore. I love Asian horror flicks such as Ju-On.

    Casino
    A Man and A Woman
    The Long, Long Trailer
    Pretty Woman
    A Star is Born

    Many, many others...

    I caught The Mist on Space a while back... definitely one of the most disturbing endings I've seen. Felt a little physically ill actually.

    I should have added Monty Python and the Holy Grail to my list... how could I have omitted that one???

    Man on Wire was Awesome. If you like documentaries you have to see the King of Kong. And if you don't mind sad you should see The Bridge.

    She said favorite movie...singular!

    Bunch of over-achievers :mad:

    Hey, good things come in pairs ... You know that ... I saw you over on the boobie thread. :laugh:
    :blushing:
    One thing I can say...a good shower scene definitely improves my opinion of the movie.

    OH! Law Abiding Citizen is a good one. Good for that guy.

    Revenge movies are awesome. Paparazzi was under-rated, but that was a good revenge movie. And Ransom... And Taken...

    i cant believe no one put munich either that was a sweet movie!

    So hard to narrow it down.

    Wizard of Oz and Philadelphia -- Wizard of Oz was my brother's favorite movie. He died of AIDS 16 years ago. I can't watch either of those movies without thinking of him

    Two other great movies: Harvey (watch it every years at Easter)
    Lonely are the Brave

    I love anything with Jimmy Stewart. He would be my hearthtrob if I had been born in the right era.

    Reminds me to add It's a Wonderful Life to my list.

    Independence Day

    I must have seen it 50 times and I never get tired of it. It has all the features a great movie should have. great actors, comic relief, action, suspense. love story, sad story, you name it, the movie has it.

    The Princess Bride

    I love how the priest says 'Princess Buttercup' when he is trying to marry them.
    Absolutely hilarious!
    Good choice...

    Aw...and the president's speech:

    “Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

    I have so many favourites... but if I could narrow it down to 3...

    "Groundhog Day" - I love it - it's a great feelgood film that has some very moving stuff in there without being preachy or schmaltzy!

    "The Wicker Man" - I mean come on... creepy plot... folk music... a maypole AND Christopher Lee in a long black wig? What's not to like? :laugh:

    "Cast Away" - yep, this is my ALL TIME favourite... and call me a softie, but I cry when he loses Wilson... although my wife finds the scene funny - so I refuse to watch it when she's in the room!!!

    :laugh:

    The greatest movie ever made: LORD OF THE RINGS !!! I have yet to find anything that comes close.

    Honorable mention: THE PRINCESS BRIDE :happy:


    Some of my favorite lines from The Princess Bride:

    "INCONCEIVABLE!!!
    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "

    "You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha...."

    "You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
    You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die"

    "I'm not left-handed either. "

    "Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped"

    "Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
    What's that?
    Go through his clothes and look for loose change."

    "Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
    If there are, we all be dead.
    No more rhymes now, I mean it.
    Anybody want a peanut?!?"


    And of course....

    "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
