    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.

    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!”


    Hahha! Yes! I know most of it by heart!

    I like lots of films....but my all time favourite has to be NeverEnding story 1. Especially now I have kids too. We sit there and watch it over and over and it never gets boring, it always gives me goosebumps and sometimes, when I'm sad it even makes me cry. And I'm 30 now, lol.

    Never was I keen on 2nd and 3rd though. Just a rip off of the success of the first one. Completely killed the whole idea and concept of it. Boo on them.

    We just watched Inglorious Basterds this past weekend. It was true Tarantino.
    I would also recommend The Usual Suspects. You seem to like the unexpected endings.

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

    have you seen "Unthinkable" with Samuel L. Jackson?

    Would fit into your taste, I'd imagine...

    is there a way to interpret that movie that doesn't result in a time loop? I've tried and tried, and it just mind-f's me every time. Also- Mulholland Drive. Just can't quite get there from here.

    Any thoughts?

    Lucky Leprechaun - the one that really confused me was PRIMER - did you see that one?

    I've seen Primer. That movie is effed up! I watched it twice back to back and then couldn't sleep trying to figure it out... that was a couple years ago, I should rent it again.

    I thought of another gooder - Memento! After dozens of viewings I still pick up something new every time. Not to mention Guy Pearce is pretty nice on the eyes. :love:

    Dirty Dancing, Walk the Line, Blow, A Few Good Men, The Buccanner (1858 with Yul Brynner), Gone With The WInd, Chicago, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, The Rose, An Officer and A Gentleman, Top Gun, Halloween, Bad Santa...are just a few that come to mind. I am going to have to go back and read all the posts and make some notes....maybe I'll have some new favorites.

    P.S. I know the question is "favorite movie of all time" but I don't have just one - and it seems like many other folks don't either. :laugh:
