JunkerSeed Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Hmm, this one's kinda hard, can't pick just ten.. I guess I'll just randomly pick ten personal faves that not everyone has seen. 1. Shawshank Redemption 2. Dolores Claiborne 3. Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? 4. Dark City 5. Three Kings 6. Being John Malchovich 7. This is Spinal Tap 8. Mulhulland drive 9. Pleasantville 10. Requiem for a Dream Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Ouch, we got a million different top 15 lists for like 3 different eras of music but people can't scrounge up ten movies to reccomend?... I see how it is... no love for the flicks. :plain: Come on people, you'd think we were talking about books or something, I know you can throw together a movie top ten. Quote
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 You got it. 1. Apocalypse Now 2. Blade Runner 3. Big Lebowski 4. Carlito's Way 5. Buffalo 66 6. Pi 7. Empire of the Sun 8. Scarface 9. Fargo 10. The Day of the Jackal The order is not particularly relevent. Just naming some movies that I love. Quote
The NZA Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Ha, thought Pi'd be # 1 with you, cant imagine why... cool to see Lebowski & Carlito's Way, i think those 2 are great, get underrated alla time. Day of the Jackal? The one with Gere & Bruce Willis? Or another one? Quote
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 Yukkk. Kow dare you mention that shitty remake, 'The Jackal' in my prescence. That movie was just horrible. No, I meant the original 1973 version directed by Fred Zinnemann. Where as the remake with Willis used special effects and tawdry directing, the original relied on tension, which is pretty amazing considering the movie is based on a true story and therefore anyone with a pinch of historic knowledge will already know the ending (the movie being about the assasination attempt on General De Gaulle). Check it out if you haven't seen it. Doesn't get mentioned very often but is a truly inspirational piece of film making and some of the best acting I've ever seen. As you also might have guessd from my list, I Iove Al Pacino gangster movies. Just realised one I should of included was 'Goodfellas'. Ganster movies are definitely one of my fave genres, so many classics to see. How about a list from you IC, curious what you love from the big screen. Quote
Lenox99 Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 :yy: it depends on which top ten inw hat category youre looking for... Like in what mafia movies? Then the obvious choices are 1. Godfather 2. Godfather 3. Goddfellas.... Dammit Im too tired to give a shit~! :yy: Quote
Johny Posted April 11, 2002 Posted April 11, 2002 I recommend a French film - circa 1994-1997 I guess - called 'The Apartment'. Seek it out. Hope you'll find it worthwhile. Otherwise, 'This Is Spinal Tap' will always be allowed on my desert island. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 1. Fight Club 2. Star Wars Trilogy 3. 12 Monkeys 4. Election 5. Braveheart 6. Pink Floyd The Wall 7. Being John Malcovich 8. American Beauty 9. Kevin Smith's New Jersey Saga (all five flims, even Mallrats) 10. Vanilla Sky So many runner-ups, i can't begin to be fair to them all by listing them all. Quote
MyLeakyBucket Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Election, good call dude. I loved that movie. Reese Witherspoon was mental. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Reese Witherspoon's a fine actress and everything, but what she has really impressed me with is her ability to pick good roles. I was so impressed, i made it a policy to see everything she does becasue I have faith in her ability to chose a script to work with. So when Legally Blonde came out, I went to see a movie that I would have normally passed up. I was cute and pretty funny, by no means an Election or Pleantville or Cruel Intentions, but not bad either. Quote
JunkerSeed Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Yeah, another great one she was in was Freeway, it was this really twisted, over the top horror movie that kind of parrallels little red riding hood. Has Keifer Sutherland in it, great flick. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 I've heard of it. It's on the perpetual movie-to-see list in my head. I think she was in Kalifornia too, which was supposed to be good too. Quote
King of Snake Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 She wasn't in Kalifornia but its worth seeing anyway. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Well MAYBE I will! What's it about anyway? Quote
Sango Posted May 1, 2002 Author Posted May 1, 2002 alright, anyone else wanna give it ago at you top 10 or just a list of 10 favorite flims...Wait I have an idea :thinking: how about the 10 worst films??? Thats a lot easier in my opinion... I hate more movies than I like movies....here goes: 10. The Pest ( I so hate that movie it shouldn't even be called a film it should be called trash! ) 9. Texas Ranger (why do people that sing act? Why? why do they put on the cover of the movie an actress that is only on screen like 2 seconds? why do they show something in the preveiw that doesn't even happen in the movie? I hated it :angry: ) 8. Time Machine ( the orginal movie was way better in my opinion even though the effects were a bit cheesey I perfered it) 7. City Slicker 2 (Don't Make Sequals to Movies that Already SUX! :hmph: ) I'll come back with the rest as I think of which movies I hate most..... :dissappointed: Quote
Reverend Jax Posted May 1, 2002 Posted May 1, 2002 I think hating alot more movies than like them would make a top ten worst films list harder to make. More bad films to choose from. Don't for get the new Godzilla movie and AI. Quote
SuperEeyore Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Ok so after a long time of thinking about my list which I think is still incomplete.......but here goes nothing 1.) Rocky Horror Picture Show 2.) 28 Days 3.) Miss. Congeniality 4.) Men of Honor 5.) The Prophecy 6.) The Cell 7.) American Beauty 8.) Pay It Forward 9.) Big Daddy 10.) Big Quote
DA JUDGE Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 This is hard, but here goes... 01) Taxi Driver 02) The Empire Strikes Back 03) Amelie 04) The Truman Show 05) Hana-Bi 06) Clerks 07) Desperado 08) Shall We Dance 09) A Clockwork Orange 10) Saturday Night Fever ...In some kind of order of preference! The top 5 are about right, there is so many good films to choose from! Quote
MyLeakyBucket Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Haven't heard of 'Shall we dance'? Nice list though Judge. Although I have to admit, I didn't really enjoy 'Saturday Night Fever'. Quote
JunkerSeed Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Good pick on Amelie, I fuckin' loved that movie. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Judge, if you liked Desparado, have you seen El Mariachi? It's Robert Rodriguez's first independent film, and Desparado was a big budget remake of it. It's really good. Quote
JunkerSeed Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Yeah, that one's cool, I saw it packed in with the desperado dvd. That movie is like a step by step guide to making a movie for as little money as possible. Rodriguez is the king of budgets. Desperado was made on a romantic comedy budget and mariachi was made on no budget. DVD has great tips on how to save money when filming, pretty interesting stuff. He's coming out with a third one called "Once upon a time in Mexico" with Banderas and Selma Heyek returning and William Dafoe and Johnny Depp joining the cast, should be great. Quote
Reverend Jax Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 sweet... Did you see Spy Kids? That movie rocks. Quote
DA JUDGE Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 Nah, i've not seen El Mariachi yet JMT, which is strange 'cause one of my best mates who is an independant film maker keeps talking about and always says he'll borrow it to me!?! I'll be sure to remind him about it the next time he brings it up, which he is almost certain to next time we meet, LOL! I suppose i included Despardo in my Top 10 as i'd seen it recently...twice, and it kinda stuck in my head when i was making my list. As With Saturday Night Fever MLB. You didn't like it? Even when the guy falls from the bridge? Was sort of freaked out myself, powerful stuff! In hindsight, i probably would have put Mean Streets, After Hours, Violent Cop, Raging Bull, Casino, etc (Theres so many films) in there instead, i suppose i was trying to only have one director per film as a criteria for the list. And Amelie...phew, fuckin' excellent film Junkerseed, wasn't it? I don't buy many films (more of a vinyl man), but that HAD to be bought, which i did last week (which at the time of posting i have seen 3 times). Oh, and Shall We Dance, MLB! This was a Japanese film about Ballroom dancing!?! My wife insisted i go to see it with her, when she first asked i thought, a Japanese film about ballroom dancing? This is gonna be a pile of cack! I was very surprised! Just goes to show, sometimes you can't judge a film by it's...eh...title! Quote
