What's your favorite movie?

[bassistjoe93]

So... no rocket science here, what's your favorite movie and why?

Mine is "The Shawshank Redemption" great story, good acting and Morgan Freeman's voice. All you really need for a good movie!

Schindler's List

Because it's the greatest film ever made, with top notch acting, storytelling, direction and cinematography, and because watching it will always put my tiny problems into proper perspective.

The Empire Strikes Back. Takes the most impactful sci-fi film ever and then shows you that you can take that subject matter seriously, provides amazing dialogue, and oh, yeah…lightsabers and Yoda.

That was a contender for being my top movie too. The scene with the young girl in the red coat was a really well done and chilling scene IMO.

[DaddyFatBass32]

This is perfect. Bass players talking movies.

I don't necessarily have ONE favorite movie. It's too hard for me to pick.

But there is one movie that changed my life forever.
FIGHT CLUB.
I first saw this movie when I was in the 8th grade. My first thought was "amazing." My second thought was "I wish I made this movie....I should make movies....No, I'm GOING to make movies."

Back To The Future.
ALL OF THEM

[stratovani]

Blazing Saddles. It's the only time that I came out of the theater with a sore jaw from laughing so hard, and I soiled my undies a little as well!

[sonic assassin]

the departed.

[MatticusMania]

Off the top of my head... American Psycho.

Of course, thats only one of many. I thought to myself, of all the movies I own or have seen, which one could I watch on an almosy daily basis. American Psycho was the first to come up, but there are plenty of others.

[5StringBlues]

First thought: Dr. Strangelove

[SoonerMatt]

The Big Lebowski. Nuff said.

[MatticusMania]

The last two responses are certainly high on my list as well.

[Joe Gress]

Don't necessarily have a favorite per say, but a long damn list of them. In no order either:

Pulp Fiction
City of God
Raising Arizona
The Departed
Trainspotting
Dr. Strangelove
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Kelly's Hero's
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill 1&2
Inglorious Basterds
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Evil Dead
Fight Club
Goodfellas
Snatch
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The Big Lebowski

A few more I can't think of right away...

I've watched this one every thanksgiving for five years now. It just feels so good with turkey in the tummy.

[MatticusMania]

Joe, you and I have very similar taste in movies.

[Marial]

Blue Velvet


or


Big Trouble In Little China


or


The Thing (Carpenter/'82 version)


There are others, but these three movies, and I can't pick just one, are films I watch several times every year.

[MatticusMania]

[macaroni tony]

It's still A Bronx Tale for me

a few contenders off the top of my head:

Hollywood Shuffle
Harlem Nights
Blazing Saddles
Wet Hot American Summer...matter of fact this is probably #2

[turbo chicken]

Oh OH... serious answer ... Labrynth or The Dark Crystal ... caue my wife absolutely hates both.

[MatticusMania]

Whatever movie Sasha Grey did last, before going legit. Or rather, the one she did first.
