5 Favorite Movies

[Vick]

We might have been down this road in the past but ....
Since we've been kicking around viewing choices

Here goes

My favorite 5

Casablanca
The Wizard of Oz
Pulp Fiction
Silence of the Lambs
Beauty and the Beast


Only 1 made in the last 10 years and 2 others made in the last 15, none in this century

If someone gets the urge maybe we can boil down the offerings and come up with Oprano's top 50 movies

So what's your's?

[cj]

vick, excellent idea for an O+ feature ;-)

I can never think of the movies quickly enough to make these lists but here are 5 movies I really really like - not going to commit to fave's! I try to watch things that relax me & have a positive vibe, am not big on violent, dramatic films - I like comedy - because life has enough seriousness!

Dogma
The Little Mermaid (more recently Finding Nemo)
Charlie's Angels
Gia
Flashdance

[SykkBoy]

My list constantly changes...but 5 that are always in my top 5, 10, 15, etc.:

Glengarry Glen Ross
A Clockwork Orange
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
O Brother Where Art Thou (this has quickly become one of my favorites with repeat viewings)
Bad Taste

I'd have to try to fit The Exorcist in there somewhere too, but I've been enjoying the repeated viewings of OBWAT too much.....

I'm looking forward to catching it

[PornoDoggy]

Z
One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest
Fiddler on the Roof
High Noon
American Beauty

Honorable Mention: Killer Clowns from Outer Space, It's A Mad Mad Mad World, The Shining, The Untouchables, The Longest Day, Last House on the Left, Harvy, Reefer Madness, Dances With Wolves

Movie I Really Don't Want People to Know I Like: Karate Kid

Movie That Almost Got My Ass Kicked: Love Story (saw it in the theater and couldn't stop laughing)

Movie that made me paranoid of pickup trucks until my first Navy haircut: Easy Rider

[Carrie]

I couldn't even *begin* to narrow down the movies I like into a favorite 50, much less a favorite 5.
However, Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc have been in the boys' "let's drive mom crazy playing this yet AGAIN" rotation this week. Even though I love both movies, every other day is a bit much.
At least today they added a Star Wars variant (the one where Yoda kicks ass).

If you want truly annoying for the parents and great for the kids, grab Leapfrog's The Letter Factory and The Word Factory (only about $9 each on DVD).

Itroduce your kids to low budget horor and sci-fi movies from the 50's and 60's. You'll get a nice change of pace and they'll discover movies that are fun and don't containa lot of profanity or graphic violence.
Best Buy has a ton of collections, usually 3-4 of these movies on single DVD for $8 as well as full colletions of 10 movies acorss 4-5 DVD's.

My kids have developed an appreciation for movies like "The Wasp Woman", "The Ape" and "The Indestructible Man". I also don't have to worry about having them cover their eyes during the "boobs and butts" moments like in more modern horror movies and there isn't the profanity or graphic violence and yet, as kids, they can have fun with these fairly harmless scary movies.

People ask why I let my kids watch a movie like "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" and I say the movie's violence is cartoonish and non-graphic, there is limited amounts of profanity, no nudity and it's just a lot of silly yet scary fun. Although I do get weird looks from some of the neighborhood moms whenmy kdids wanna play Killer Klowns and act like they are throwing acid cream pies at and shooting the friends with killer popcorn guns...hahahaha

[grimm]

The Natural
Hoosiers
True Romance
Clerks
The Sting
the Hustler



too many to list

should put a time frame on this question

[grimm]

saw 'spun' you want a good meth head movie, check out "the salton sea" with val kilmer. much better

vals done some good flicks...


wonderland was good,

spartan, a david mamet film, waS FANTASTIC.

[Carrie]

Somehow the terms "horror movie" and "no graphic violence" don't mix. Can you tell I grew up in the 70's and 80's? :)

Silly funny scary is no problem (they handle "scary"), I just wouldn't want the butcher's knife - repeated hacking - maimed bloody corpse kinda stuff.
I was thinking of getting them MP's Quest for the Holy Grail. Much of it would go over their head but they'd still get a major kick out of it. (Not horror, I know, but a "classic" nonetheless.)

Still, we're talking 6 and 4 (on Sunday) yrs old here so pretty much anything is lost on them except for what's blatantly presented on-screen. But I'd much rather hear "I'm not dead yet!" and "I'll gnaw at yer ankles!" than the two of them role-playing Dori and Marlin. :headwall:
(A 4yr old boy trying to sound like Ellen Degeneres in a high falsetto has got to be one of the top 10 sounds guaranteed to set your nerves on edge...)

[grimm]

fuck vick, hes a pussy, a nice pussy that puts out:)

[Hell Puppy]

I cant narrow it to 5, but i can list 5 favorites that just happen to come to mind first in no particular order....

The Godfather
The Sting
Pulp Fiction
Aliens
The Road Warrior

[Carrie]

A few old fav's just off the top of my head

Flashdance
The Piano (not The Pianist)
Tuff Turf (OLD movie with a young James Spader)
Highlander
Resevoir Dogs (howeverthahell you spell that)
The Breakfast Club
The King and I
Desperado
Last of the Mohicans

More recent ones -
Seabiscuit (starts slow but is a fantastic movie)
Secondhand Lions
Underworld
Finding Nemo
Lord of the Rings (wow)
Harry Potter (all of 'em)
Matrix

Only movie that ever scared me - can't remember the name of it but it was the first one with the flying spheres that drilled into your head. (Sykk might know.) Phantasm might be the name? The sequels sucked though. The original Nightmare on Elm Street did a pretty good job too but I was too old by then for it to really 'scare' me.

Nearly anything with Harrison Ford, Sean Connery (except the Bond movies), Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Kevin Spacey, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro... and too many damn more to mention :awinky:

And just to shock Vick... I've never seen Casablanca.
Maybe next week we'll do a classic movie night and get that one and My Fair Lady (haven't seen it either).

[pushpills]

there can't be a top 5 as fairly it would have to be top 10's in 5 different categories. but to humor you and the rest of you who have horrible tastes and are the reason garbage films are put out, here's "a" top 5 of mine, but it really can't be totally accurate.


Citizen Kane
Godfather
Casablanca
Edward Scissorhands
The Sting

----------- ones some of you specifically wouldnt consider because you aren't smart:

Edward Scissorhands
Pee Wee's big adventure
Happiness
Jackie Brown
Raging bull
Glengarry Glenross


these are in no specific order.





this reminds me i'm a little late starting me weekly film thread, i'll get to that this weekend hopefully so i can learn you some filmamacation.

[HoneyBlond]

HHmm Top 5 You say


Rocky Horror Picture Show
Jerry Maguire
Bugsy Malone
The Castle
Aladdin ( Robin William version ) / Gone with the Wind

[MissEve]

Carrie.......I have Tuff Turf on VHS, recorded from cable sometime in the 80's with Better Off Dead! I thought that girls long hair was so cool!


Honey, in elementary school everyone gathered in the gym to sit indian style on the floor and watch Bugsy Malone as an end of the year treat :)


We just watched Welcome to the Dollhouse again, its been playing on IFC, its SO painful and funny.

Since you brought it up here are my five favourite classic films:

Double Indemnity
Nosferatu
His Girl Friday
Sunrise
Citizen Kane

...and has anyone here seen "Man Bites Dog"... that almost made it into my regular top 5. A low budget, blackly humourous, mock documentary from Belgium. Pure genius. Syk, you seen this one?

Saving Private Ryan is one of the most boring films I've ever seen.

I'm a 70's horror buff too, but my kids are 8,7 and 3, so they really aren't into the hack and slash. They like monster movies and creature features.

I own the Elm Street Boxset, but only to be a completist, as I got bored when Freddy went from a legit scary boggeyman to a gameshow host of death. I prefer my horror a little more straight forward (unless it's unintentional humor in my revered "bad movies")

My daughter likes Freddy Kreuger, but he frightens my son, so doesn't watch (I never force my kids to watch scary movies and if something's too intense, we turn it off and discuss the movie (they have also become dvd extra feature addicts like me and love to see how these movies were made as it takes away the scariness for them)

holy shit, something you and I agree on...."Welcome To The Dollhouse" just narrowly missed my top 5 and "Happiness" is a tough watch, but fucking brilliant

I also loved Requeim For A Dream and Pi, but those are way on the artsy fartsy side for most popcorn munchers...

yes, I caught this at a movie party one of my movie geek buddies threw and had to seek it out again as I missed parts of it.

I also liked "Bad Cop, No Donut" that borrowed a few quick homages to that movie.

OPRANO WARNING: if you don't like movies that are shot on a camcorder with a budget some of you spend on strippers in a single evening, tis movie isn't for you, but if you like something inspired, fresh, innovative and fun with buddies and brews, it's a must have movie. (Bad Cop, No Donut that is)

Damn this is harder than I thought, but here's some films I can watch over and over...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Heat
Face Off
Dirty Harry
Scarface

Any film with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Nicolas Cage or Adam Sandler (shits and giggles).

And I've got a thing for Sandra Bullock as well :D

No one in my family can understand why I've got Vanilla Sky on DVD and none of 'em will watch it with me again.
It's a total mindfuck, that's why I like it :)
Also under the "total mindfuck" category I think you could put 12 Monkeys and Jacob's Ladder.
Aw crap, I forgot to put Tim Robbins in my list... and Jeff Goldblum (purrr)

Miss Eve I loved her hair!! And her voice - god I wanted to talk like her so much when that movie came out, hehe. And that's the movie where I developed a never-ending lust for James Spader that still thrives to this day :P

Has anyone seen "Honey"? I'm really wanting to rent that one. Kinda looks like an ebony version of Flashdance. I love dance movies; one of the first dates Hubby and I went on we went to see Striptease. They didn't show on the commercials just how racy that movie was truly going to be - I thought it would just be a lot of dancing and pretty outfits! I was SOOO embarrassed sitting in the theatre I wanted to leave; I'm thinking "Oh my god I take this guy out to a movie where there's nekkid women practically fucking each other right on the screen, he's probably sitting there thinking I'm some kind of a pervert!!" lolol

We could do a "List of Movies You Couldn't Pay Me To Watch" thread... I've got a bunch of those :)

Shit add these to my favorites, Colin had to go and mention a Western...
Tombstone
Quigley Down Under
The Magnificent Seven
Unforgiven
Young Guns
The Quick and the Dead (okay the cinematography style was cheesy but it was a good story)

[Winetalk.com]

Vanilla Sky is a great mindfuck movie...


I also would include
12 Angry Man with Fonda,
if Vick asked for best 6 and not 5
;-))))

You could not be more wrong.

The story sucked BAD but Sam Raimi's unique visual style is the only thing that made it worth watching.

review is very skewed and onesided,
total lack of balance or understanding of the movie and what it was all about.

as for replying me with question to my question,
you are NOT Jewish,
please stick to goim's format and just give me a plain answer
;-)))

[Vick]

What's the difference between a Catholic wife and a Jewish wife?

The Catholic wife tells her husband to buy Viagra.
The Jewish wife tells her husband to buy Pfizer.

Ah yes, Vanilla Sky is one of my top 10 movies on my top 5 list. The problem with questions like this is that I have 20 top 5 movies.

;)

I do believe that Schindler's List is the BEST movies every though. surprised no one has this on their list

[Peaches]

Screw all of you - Forest Gump is on my list :) A few more:

Shawshank Redemption
An Affair to Remember
Gone with the Wind
Casablanca
Princess Bride
Dogma
Brother Where Art Thou
Both Toy Stories
The End of the Affair
The Piano
A Mighty Wind/Best in Show
Oceans Eleven
The Others
Identity
In the Bedroom
Minority Report
Road to Perdition
Barber Shop
Far From Heaven (loved the filming of this)
Gangs of NY
American Splendor
Blue, Red, White trilogy

Probably even more - I love movies :)

[Bishop]

This is tough.. today's answer is:

The Godfather
The Breakfast Club
Scarface
The Devil's Advocate
The Quick & The Dead

---------
Most recent movies I've purchased...

Wallstreet (Greed is good.. )
Lord Of The Rings #1
Lord Of The Rings #2

---------
Most recent movie rented....

Matrix #3 - hated it.

---------

Tuff Turf - hahaha.. I have an original copy on VHS. I don't remember the movie but I do remember the girl.. :-)))

[AM Jeff]

Rudy (all time favorite)
Shawshank Redemption
Dances with Wolves
The Gladiator
Forest Gump

Rounding out the top 10

Secondhand Lions ( excellent storyline)
Grumpy Old Men
Grease
O Brother Where Art Thou
Officer and a Gentleman

[TheEnforcer]

These three would be the top three without a doubt

The Shawshank Redemption
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Mr. Hollands Opus


After those three there are a whole myriad of films I could put in there depending on my mood at the time.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
O' Brother Where Art Thou
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country
Star Wars trilogy
LOTR trilogy
The Devil's Advocate
Heat
Se7en
Groundhog Day
Dogma
The Blues Brothers
Chicago
Blown Away
The Patriot
Forrest Gump
Good Will Hunting
Primal Fear
Phenomenon
The Fugitive

[eatapeach]

lots of good movies listed here:

i must have been high when i left shawshank redemption off my favorites list.

i'd also like to add to my honorable mentions:

the warriors "warriors, come out to play-ay!"
groundhog day
the hudsucker proxy

[PornoDoggy]

With you on The Wrath of Kahn, TE ...

Forest Gump was a good movie, but probably wouldn't make one of my "top" lists. Saving Private Ryan is in the same category.

Others I'd probably list, given the day:

Brazil
Freaks
A Few Good Men
The Longest Day

If you wanna go into mindfuck movies, I'd also throw in Memento for sure.

And maybe Brazil...

Oooh - forgot that one too! Add that to my list (you guys did say 500 top favs, right? B) )

[Vick]

Sort of surprised how many have listed Shawshank Redemption

It's a great movie but didn't think it would make so many top 5 lists

I read the story years ago

It's in Different Seasons from Stephen King by the name of "Rita Hayward and the Shawshank Redemption"

The movie is pretty true to the novella

Anyways. hmm. I don't think i could name 5 favourites.

The Shawshank Redemption and Good Will Hunting are probably my two favourite movies. Oh, and Amelie. So there's 3.

[Almighty Colin]

Same here.

[SykkBoy]

I could expand beyoind my initial five as well :)

would add
12 Monkeys
Memento
A Boy And His Dog
A Christmas Story
Dogma
Evil Dead (unlike most horror movie fans, I prefer the first ED to the sequel)
Suspiria (all bow to the directing god that is Dario Argento)
Friday The 13th
A Nightmare On Elm Street
To The Devil A Daughter (Christopher Lee sleepwalks through his role, but a damn good movie overall)
The Mummy (my favorite of the Universal classics)
Freddy Got Fingered
American Splendor
RSVP
My Bloody Valentine
The Eye (if you liked The Ring, check out this badboy)
Ringu
Audition
Darkwater
Ju-On (being remade with Sarah Michelle Gellar as "The Grudge")
Stir Of Echos (much much better than "The Sixth Sense" which it's unfairly compared to)
Frenzy (my favorie Hitchcock film)
The African Queen
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Dead Alive aka Braindead
BasketCase
Frankenhooker
Tormeo And Juliet
Eye Of The Needle
Raiders of The Lost Ark
Russian Ark
Crumb


I could go on and on :)

[Vick]

Sykk - How did you leave out "The Maltese Falcon"?

[DrGuile]

I wont repeat what others said,

but

Casino and Die Hard I are both classics in very different genres ;)

[Vick]

Do I see no John Wayne flicks either?

Rooster Cogburn - great interplay between Wayne and Kathrine Hepburn

[MissEve]

I can't believe you guys like Vanilla Sky so much. I think its one of the worst movies Ive ever seen :( Maybe I'm missing something.

That's a great movie - watched it recently on one of the classic movie stations. Not a big Wayne fan myself ... I acutally liked him more in a whole series of B-flick seafarer movies than I did in most of the big-budget films he made later.

Sykk ... please tell me you are talking about the original Mummy, not the one made in the 90s.

Nope, I think the same of some of the above movies - even some of the "classics". Just personal taste.

[Almighty Colin]

Another of my faves no one mentioned ... "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Agreed. I felt I had wasted 2+ hours watching it. :(

And Colin, CTHD was also awesome! :okthumb:

[Almighty Colin]

Another MIA ... "Boiler Room".

[MissEve]

and Goodfellas? LOVE it.

We just watched Welcome to the Dollhouse again, its been playing on IFC, its SO painful and funny.

:awinky:
holy shit, something you and I agree on...."Welcome To The Dollhouse" just narrowly missed my top 5 and "Happiness" is a tough watch, but fucking brilliant

I also loved Requeim For A Dream and Pi, but those are way on the artsy fartsy side for most popcorn munchers...[/b][/quote]
thats tod soloenz, love liza was weitten and directed by phillip seymore hoffmans brother.

as for directors

David Lynch
Paul Thomas Anderson
The Hughes Brothers
The Coen Brothers
David Mamet
Wes Anderson
Alan Ball
Cameron Crowe
Amy Heckerling
Spike Lee
Daron Aronofsky
Charlie Kaufman

And notables, Ron Howard, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, and Sean Penn as
a director, not as an actor.



I like david mamets snappy dialogue, its faster that walt flannigan's dog;)

Good list of filmmakers there.

I'ma huge fan of the Coen Brothers and Wes Anderson is amazingly brilliant. It took a couple watches of "The Royal Tennebaums" to really enjoy the nuances of the dialog of that movie.

Glengarry Glen Ross
A Clockwork Orange
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
O Brother Where Art Thou (this has quickly become one of my favorites with repeat viewings)
Bad Taste

I'd have to try to fit The Exorcist in there somewhere too, but I've been enjoying the repeated viewings of OBWAT too much.....
Can't believe someone else thought of clockwork orange! (must be a wyoming thing lol)

Mine are:

Uncommon Valor
Frequency
Aristocats (gotta have one disney movie!)
Clockwork Orange
Tie between: Sound of Music, Grease, Hello Dolly, Oliver (the original one) & Ghost (chick flicks, I know, I know - and I'm a sucker for musicals)


:purpdance:

[chodadog]

How could i have forgotten Dr Strangelove and Fight Club.

So there's my five.

The Shawshank Redemption
Good Will Hunting
Amelie
Dr. Strangelove
and Fight Club

[XXXPhoto]

Agree top 5 is impossible... Besides, you know my top choice Vick... lol...

Here are some that haven't been mentioned... Aside from any adversion one might have to 'spaghetti westerns'; there isn't any on list not worth owning...

You might have never heard of it:
Suckers (http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?trkid=73&movieid=60036709)

Closetland (tough to find, but nice mindfuck movie)

Great Black and Whites:

Witness for the Prosecution
Raisin in the Sun
The Caine Muntiny
Maltese Falcon
To Kill a Mockingbird
12 Angry Men
The Dirty Dozen

Old Movies but in color:
Cool Hand Luke
The Great Escape

For a Few Dollars More
Two Mules for Sister Sara
Chinatown

[Almighty Colin]

"It's a Beautiful Life", another favorite.

[SykkBoy]

I can't believe I forgot "School Of Rock" (which my kids watch daily)
I normally hate these kind of movies, but Jack Black was so amazing, the kids weren't the typical annoying whiny kids (and the fact they played their own instruments and did it well) and the music was great. It also spoke to my inner failed musician.

[aeon]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Terror in Tiny Town (only for those that do/used to smoke pot)
Masque of the Red Death (Vincent Price rules - especially doing poe)
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly (all the leone spaghetti westerns)
Blade Runner

so hard to decide...
North by Northwest
Double Indemnity
Reservoir Dogs
The Birds
Stir Crazy
The In-Laws
MASH
A Clockwork Orange (they pussied out burgess's book or it would be a top - burgess is one of/if not the greatest literary figure of the 20th century...twas BS to rape a great novel like kubrick did)
Cool Hand Luke
SOB
Dr. Strangelove
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Full Metal Jacket
The Hustler
The Shining
Kelly's Heroes
Going South
Animal House
Apocalypse Now
Which Way is Up
The Last Detail
La Dolce Vita
Mr. Frost
Flim Flam Man
and on and on...(include any noir into this category - the maltese falcon, citizen kane, touch of evil, blue dahli)

Scarface

Any film with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Nicolas Cage or Adam Sandler (shits and giggles).

And I've got a thing for Sandra Bullock as well :D
After reading all that.... I'll go to the movies with you I think Trev ;-)

The Man With 2 Brains is my favourite movie of all time though... how do feel about Steve Martin?

The movie I recall blowing me away more than any other at the time I first saw it was Mad Max 1

[Edd]

This is a hard one, Vick - and these are just off the cuff - If I sit and think about it I always end up with WAY more than 5! In no particular order:

Bladerunner
The Trouble with Harry
Miller's Crossing
Name of the Rose
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

And no, Dr Guile - I've included no anime - thats a totally seperate list!

[Jim]

Godfather
Scarface
Goodfellas
American Grafitti
the sting

This should have been a top 500 movies thread :D

[Peaches]

Watched 21 Grams the other night. It doesn't hit my top 5, but it's worth recommending! :okthumb:

[SykkBoy]

I just saw "The Cooler" last night with William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin...damn good flick, could easily end up in my top 25 (I generally have to watch a movie more than once to place in amongst the top).

Two actors I really enjoy, acting their asses off and the extremely sexy Maria Bello.....can't beat that with a stick

[DAMNMAN]

Here's 6 (Just to be different)

The Man Who Would Be King
Pulp Fiction
African Queen
Quills
Excalibur
House of 1000 Corpses

I hate Alec Baldwin, the man, but when ths guy is on the screen and on his game, he owns that screen.

How many other actors could dominate a movie and only be on screen for about 15 minutes (as in "Glengarry Glen Ross")? His performance was about the only good thing in "Malice" and here in "The Cooler" he plays the asshole really well.

No Atlanta for me.

The boy is now almost 3 years old. (and what a handful he is)
He's a computer geek already, logs in with his own name and password and he plays educational (mostly) video games for hours on end.
