Your top 10 (Descriptive version)

[Raikkonen]

My top ten is as follows....

10. -Me, Myself and Irene
This is the most hilarious movie I have ever seen. I was litteraly rolling on the floor laughing when

Spoiler: Carey threw himself out of the car

OMG!!! if you haven't seen this movie GO SEE IT NOW!!!!
There is so many funny things about this movie I can't write them all, if you ask me it's Jim Carey's best movie ever!

9. -Any Arnold Schwartznegger movie.
I just love that guy, he's looks like an ogree berserker of DOOM with that short body and all those muscles, his movies are funny exiting and innovative.
My favorite Arnold movie is perhaps his breakthrough movie even if it's old Conan the Barbarian from '86 (I belive)

8. -The Gladiator
This was a great movie, a splendid story and the final fight in Coloseum, My mate owns it on DVD and he came over to my house once to watch it because of my huge stereo, we watched with the volume on such a level that we couldn't even shout to each other in there, and it was one of my best movie experiences since we both agreed on that beat the crap out of any cinema soundsystem we had encountered.
The effects and the sounds was incredible in this movie.

7. -Tomb Raider
The movies was great, Jolie was just as hot as Croft and it could easily have been my favorite game-->movie ever.
Great effects a good performance by Angelina an overall great movie.

6. -Resident Evil
Both of these movies was great, my favorite of them was Apocalypse.
Milla Jovovic was so hot and her perfomance and sacrifices in both movies made a low budget picture a great one. With a lot of shiny dollars less than the Tomb Raider crew the makers of these did an excellent job.
It was funny, entertaining, filled with action and heey even Nemesis was there. The effects, the looks of the zombies and the scenes from the video game made this the best zombie movie ever made.
YAAAAY Resident Evil!!

5. -Crash
The only movie on this list I have seen only once, but it was one of the best movies I have seen.
It showed how peoples destinies can be linked together in horrible ways, and that life doesn't always turn out like you expect it too, infact it shows how fast a life can change.

4. -Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
YAAAAAAY Final Fantasy!!! My last game--->movie on this list.
Great animations and camera angles shows how far technology has come these days. The only things I wished was different is the talking takes too much time of the relative short movie and I wished they used more materia.
Bahamut was awesome and I loved Cloud's new sword(s).
An action packed movie with animations from top to bottom plus it was cool to reconise many of the locations from the game. My favorite game--->movie.

3. -The Shining
Jack Nicholson is one of my favorite actors and this is his best movie (atleast to me). I still remember the first time I saw it and it was the first time I ever saw a horror movie, OMFG I was so scared I was 9 I belive and it was really scary.
Today it iis one of my favorite movies and it is a must to see.

2. -Snatch
I just love this one, it's really funny and I could write a lot about this but it would be too much.
A really funny and cool movie, seen it 75458934118345734 times

1. -Lord of the Rings
My favorite movies period
I loved all of them, it was really incredible to see Tolkiens world come alive even if I have never taken the time to read neither LOTR or The Hobbit.
A great performance by all the actors makes an epic triology I will treasure for the rest of my life.
My favorite scenes are the battle scenes in Helms Deep and The White City, truly great stuff.

EDIT: OHNOES!!!! I forgot about Scarface, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and lots more......OHNOES!!!!!!

[Kinky Laughter]

Okay here's my top nine, because I know that one of my favorite books is turning into a movie, Invisible Monsters:

9. Ultra Violet

The reason for this is because I feel like there's so many movies out there that have the whole, "Supressed Society/Messed up Society/Two sides fighting" thing going on, but in my book, this one really touched me because I feel it's just one of those movies that really go over and beyond emotion and possibly what it means to be human. I don't know. They may have sounded retarded. Oh well.

8. Labyrinth

I like this movie because it has David Bowie and I love him to death. I also first watched this as a little kid and movies that I watch as a little kid that I still love today is significant in my life because I'd watch them with my grandma, which for me, made it very special because she died when I was nine and I still feel a special bond with her when I watch this movie.

7. The anime little mermaid [that was made in like 1977 or something like that]

This movie had such a simple plot, and the prince was sort of dumb in it, but I loved that damn little dolphine that Marina [the mermaid's name] swam around with. They made this movie intended for little kids cause yes, I watched it when I was little, but it also has a deeper meaning that I didn't even see until I found the VHS and watched it a couple months ago. Just so you know, in this version, the prince doesn't fall in love with the mermaid and the mermaid commits suicide.

6. The nightmare before Christmas

I also watched this when I was little and I think it turned my direction of growing up a completely different way. It's really hard to explain what I mean by this one, but this will always be a favorite of mine.

5. Edward Sisscorhands

Yet ANOTHER old one but I like this one because it reminds me of the rich area that I live in, where all of the houses are huge and look the same and whatnot and people here don't take to different people that well. So this movie represents what kind of world I live in.

4. Shoujo Kakemei Utena: The Movie

I'm putting this in my list because this really defines love in my book, what you will do for love and how love is percieved by various characters in the movie. This movie also represents life after death and how your actions in life affect where you'll end up.

3. Pulp Fiction

I put this in cause this movie makes you think a lot. Well at least for me it did. And I found it really funny in a way that probably wasn't supposed to be too funny. But hey, it's directed by Quentine Tarentino, what do you expect?

2. Pi

Darren Arronofsky...the greatest director ever to me. This movie illustrates my mind in pictures and how I percieve things. Not everything mind you, but this movie really defines math and religion to me and how the two really do cross, just not many people [Like Maximillion] really think about this while solving math equations to find a pattern in the stock market and get really rich =D lol.

1. Requiem For A Dream

If you saw what I said about Darren Arronofsky, you probably saw this one coming. Why is this one significant for me? Because it turned my life around. It picked me up off the bad road and put me on the good one, as it probably has done to a lot of people, although you do have to brush of the feeling of wanting to commit suicide at the end. But still, best movie ever to me.

[-Xu-]

10.
Kill Bill

Its different, it has lots violence, lots and fighting and Tarantino made it, what could be better.

9.
Monty Python: Life of Brian

The movie was good but not brilliant. I enjoyed more the people *cough*, the church, *cough*, who took it really seriously, when a) it wasn't really offensive and b) highlighted some great human pyschology (basically, we are sheep).

8.
Lord of the Rings

I don't think it gave credit enough to the books, but was still a great film epic.

7.
Jaws

Hilarious, ther's a killer shark on the loose, how to kill it, lets try stabbing the humongous shark in the mouth with a hyperdermic needle.

6.
Donnie Darko

They first film to make me think in a while. Its quirky but poignant too.
And the smurf scene rocked.

5.
The Muppets Christmas Carol

To anyone who has seen it do I need to say more.

4.
Downfall

I film that showed the real Hitler.
A fragile man breaking in his last days. A brave film because Hitler had a view of things that was screwed up and most people consider what he did was evil and wrong, this film delved into his pysche but never croosed the line.

3.
Alien

One of the greatest horror/sci-fis ever.It was new and original. And brought some good and bad sequels, but the first was and will always be the best.

2.
Resivoir dogs

Resivoir dogs just for the big conversation at the begining, about their code names.

1.
Airplane(the best comedy ever).

'Surely you cant expect me to fly this plane.'
'I do expect you to fly this plane, and dont call me Shirley'

Being a Moderator on a movie forum, I know my share of movies.

My YMDB

10. The Shawshank Redemption - Most intriguing movie of all time. The best short story adaptation by far. The second adaptation from Stephen kings books directed by Frank Darabont.

9. Memento - Christopher Nolan's Masterpiece. A movie that truly test you intellectual skill and memory. One of the greatest scripts that has ever been written. Some great cinematography and movie Easter eggs.

8. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Amazing Western. Anyone can watch it, and it's contains some of the best characterization ever made for cinema. An interesting clash of fate, that inspired works like ‘Pulp Fiction’.

7. Sin City - Considered the greatest comic book-movie adaptation ever made. From the characters, to the story. This movie is perfect. Every actor fills up their character to the top of the glass

6. Seven Samurai – Said to be ‘The First Real Action Movie’, Seven Samurai is the crown jewl of Japanese Movies and 1950’s Original Cinema. My favorite black and white movie.

5. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels – Guy Ritchie’s film debut. And the basis for my favorite movie, ‘Snatch’. It also introduced Jason Statham to the movie business.

4. Pulp Fiction – Considered to be Tarantino’s greatest (which I disbelieve). But still a great film that changed the way American crime films are made.

3. Lucky Number Slevin – One of the coolest and well-pulled movie twists I have ever seen. There aren’t many words I can say to describe this movie. But if I had to say something, I’d say: Awesome.

2. Reservoir Dogs – The film that used to be my #1 favorite. The rewatch value of the film is tremendous. An everlasting movie, and considered the greatest low budget film of the 90’s and today.

1. Snatch – From the plot to the Characters, ‘Snatch’ is my favorite movie of all time. It contains one of the best supporting actors: Brad Pitt, who does an amazing job at his character. This movie has the greatest cinematography, sound effects, and storyline in cinema. Guaranteed a surprise at the end.

They were having a conversation about Madonna's song: 'Like a Virgin'. They didn't speak about codenames until later in the movie.

Great choice. That's the only movie that had me physically shaking at the end.

[sdruk12]

right i don't have them in order i love them all ok mine are as follows:

LORD OF THE RINGS: i love this film as i love the books this film was great for me becoz i love the work of J.R.R tolkien and it just brought the book to life it was an absoulute great legendary film it was pure genius they brought actors who were not really that well known up to teh status of sylvester stallone and such so this film was an absoulute great for me.

THE MATRIX: this was such a great film it brought the element of bullet time in which was just pure genius and they use it in more films today plus i just love all the films that keanu reeves is in this was just such a great motion capture that it was unbelievable and plus you have that hole agent smith vs. neo thing which was a really great feud by the way and the battle at the end of the matrix revoulutions out of this world so great

ALIEN VS PREDATOR: this was like when two worlds collide so much better than freddy vs. jason but this one was great becoz it was 2 of the best films rolled into one i just loved the fight at the end big alien vs predator that was amazing and the way they ended it you thought that there was going to be another but sadly we have heard no more from it i loved all the gadgets that predator had in this film they were great lol and if they were to make another one i wonder who would win ....

FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN : i loved this film just as i love all the final fantasy games it was just a great film and the animation on it was just so great lol but as for the other final fantasy movie i did not like that one at all. this one really brought the characters to life and clouds sword wow and sephiroth's was just as cool i especially liked the fight at the end between cloud and sephiroth that was such a great fight

PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN 1 AND 2: i loved these they were great orlando bloom and johnny depp were so right for the part and they are currently working on the 3rd which by the way i can't wait for, the way they ended the second one you just know that there is going to be a 3rd but my favourite one would have to be the second one so much more action lol i love all pirate based films anyway and this one just was an experience for all the great fans and the actors..

STEWIE GRIFFIN THE UNTOLD STORY: the 1st family guy movie, it was great becoz it was about my favourite character i just loved it lol it was so funny and it was a great animation totally cool stewie is the greatest character out of the whole of the family, you got to see what stewie was like in the future as well or what he was going to be like... but he changed all of that lol

SOUTH PARK THE MOVIE: this was great for me absoulute legend of a film lol it was so funny and when Cartman gets a V-chip out in his head so he can'y swear or if he does he gets electricuted and plus the movie includes the best line lol " how would you like to go see the school counciler" then cartman says "how would you like to suck my balls" lol that bit is just so funny it is unbelievable.



SCARY MOVIE 1,2,3 and 4: these are just so funny they take the P*** out of other movies lol such as matrix and the ring lol these are great and i especially love the 4th one i like the 1st part of the 4th one becoz it is taking the p*** out of saw and he saws the wrong leg off lol no.3 is great as well it takes the P*** out of the matrix and no.1 does but no.2 is my all time favourite lol i love that one just for the bird when the girl says to him "POLLY WANT A CRACKER" and the bird replies "POLLY WANTS YOUR MOTEHRS SWEET ASS" lol love it

i know this is kinda childish but

CARS: this is such a brilliant animation it makes the cars act as if they would in real life e.g when the cars jump the way their tyres bounce and stuff and plus it is so enjoyable for little children and adults alike you may not like it but i love it and it is such a great story lol plus it is funny as hell lol

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: i love this film becoz it involves fast cars and nice looking cars i love it becoz you get to see the world behind all of the street driving you get to see street racing and big money is up for grabs lol love it and you get to see normal cars done up which is just wonderful

and last but not least

2 FAST 2 FURIOUS: the follow up to the fast and the furious and i is better in my eyes anyway i love this one becoz it is set in miami and rome and brian make such a perfect race team lol and they have even nicer cars on here

so that concludes my 10 favourite movies

OH CRAP I PUT 11

[Bricotius]

*clears his throat* MY TOP 13 FAVORITE MOVIES!
I know it says top 10 but I cannot in good conscience leave out some of these movies.

13. Troy - Though I am not a huge fan of Brad Pitt, he did a great job as Achilles in this well known story of a war between two great states in ancient Greece.

12. Signs - Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix, and M. Knight all working together? Yeah that's a damn good movie. You gotta see this one if you haven't.

11. Star Wars III - Ok I know that the original 3 were really great, but I thought that this one was the best. You just can't beat non-stop action. Though the end could have been done a little better, it was still a great film that I have watched many many times.

10. The Fellowship of the Ring - Damn good movie as probably all of you know. Oddly enough I didn't like it the first time I saw it...though I blame that on the company I had with me. lol

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Wow that's a long title for a movie...wasn't sure about this one when I first heard of it, but it turned out to be awesome. Who of you didn't think Jim Carrey couldn't act? Well you were wrong. Watch the movie.

8. Saving Private Ryan - Well, aside from the awesome cast, this movie was extraordinarily well done. There is no better way to experience what those men in WWII had to go through than to watch this movie and get a small taste of the horror that they saw and survived. Buy it, watch it, remember it.

7. Tears of the Sun - Very well done by the director. Not to mention that it was long overdue to expose the public to the horrors that go on in Africa all of the time through film. The supporting cast was great, though I thought that Bruce Willis' performance was lacking. But despite that it's my #7. Oh btw, if you're interested in this kinda stuff you should read 'How Da Body' about the conflict in Sierra-Leonne.

6. The Last Samurai - Though some of you probably think this movie was kinda cheesey and that Tom Cruise shouldn't be in it...I don't care. I liked it lol.

5. Munich - In case you haven't seen this one it is definitely Eric Bana at his best. I wasn't sure how a movie about the Israeli Olympic tragedy would go over, but it was extremely well done and should be watched by all.

4. American Pie Series - Though I haven't seen the newest one (Band Camp) the original series and cast were great. Definitely the funniest movies I have ever seen. Not to mention that you get to see girls making out...lol

3. Return of the King - Best movie of the series. Though it was somewhat dragged out at the end, it had to be done as there was a lot of stuff to sort out.

2. Kingdom of Heaven - Definitely a must see, but then again so is anything done by Ridley Scott...very well done movie outlining a pivotal point during the crusades late in the 12th century.

1. Black Hawk Down - Not often are we reminded of just how vulnerable we are at home and abroad. Even the most elite of us can be brought down by a large enough force. Watch this movie if you haven't already, you will never see a movie dealing with a tougher struggle than that which faced 100 soldiers stuck in a city of thousands that were out to kill them.

[1WingedDevil]

10: Pirates of the carribean:A good movie but one that i wouldnt watch again to drawn out and i didnt like the love story or should i say love triangle.
9: Star wars:A New Hope:once again a good movie but i thought it was the worst star wars....Luke really got on my nerves in this film.
8: 007:Golden eye:A good james bond flick but pierce brosnan done an ok job at it....not as good as Sean Connery.
7: Welcome to the jungle:Stifmeister was funny as hell in this but the rock ruined it for me he was a bit too cool.
6: Terminator 1:For once the prequel is worse than the the sequel.
5: LOTR:Fellowship of the ring:Just too long for the first one should have been a bit shorter and also very dragged out.
4: LOTR:The 2 towers:Brilliant movie but Sam and frodo just annoyed me.
3: LOTR:Return of the king:Once again absolutely brilliant,fight scenes amazing but Sam and frodo just....uhhh...ZZZZ....!!!
2: Dead or Alive 2:Movie by Takashi Miike.IMO one of his best also the fight scenes are brilliant.Didn't make no.1 coz i like another movie more.
1: Swordfish:By far Hugh Jackman's best movie and John Travolta was brilliant in it...great thriller and great story.

[Anachlirium]

Mine are:
--Moulin Rouge. It's not usually my type of thing, but I loved the music and I thought it was very artistic. It's not everyday you get a soundtrack with that kind of music that's mainly sung by the two lead actors. I never knew Ewan could sing before this.

--The Fifth Element. I absolutely love it. It's a good Sci-fi movie, and although it's getting old, you really wouldn't tell. It just doesn't seem to age.

--Ultraviolet. Milla Jonovich is pure sci-fi gold. I could watch her in anything. and the scecial effects in this are specially amazing, I love that scene with those swords, and the fire..

--Underworld. I love vampire flicks, and this was great. Great, full stop. It's actually one of my mum's favourite movies, I can blame her for my taste in movies.

--Queen of the Damned. Another good vampire flick. Gotta love how they bite holes in eachother!

--The Island. It's action and sci fi in one^^. And it seems that I'm growing to love Ewan Mcgregor.

-- Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. What kind of Sephy fan would I be if this wasn't in my list? The graphics were amazing, and the voice acting was great. Lots of action, too^^

--Hide and Seek. I loved this as a psychological thriller. it's one of may favourites, and it really appealed to me. Put in the right place Dakota Fanning just freaks me out..and it was good, because you had 'Charlie' suspects all the way through to throw you off..and then..the butterfly.. [dun dun duuun!]

--Dragonheart. I love the actors in this, and it totally made me cry. I love dragons, and even for back then the special effects are great. With the voice acting for the dragon it's just so easy to fall in love with him.

[Juice]

These are definately in no perticular order... but anyway! ^_^

The fifth element
Love this movie for the sound track and because it never, ever fails to make me laugh. Ruby Rodd is fabulous and bruise Willis just plays an awesome role.
Might Ducks
One from my childhood that made me buy hockey gear for years after. I still have some of it, i wish i had got into ice hockey for real!
Pirates 1 & 2
I saw the first film over 7 times in the cinema, me and the friends would be bored and becuase we had cheap tickets we'd just go waste time seeing it. God i loved it. The second one, pure class. The ending just rocked me and now i cant wait for the third one!
Fight Club
This film changed my life, unfortunetly for the worse, but hey. Fab film, very mind bending and the twist got me hard the first time. wow. The book isn't too bad either. If you can understand it.
Anchor man
Never, ever, ever fails to make me laugh. Ricky bobby was not up to scratch, but Anchor Man is just brilliant.
LOTR
Who doesn't? I found these books very hard to read, so the movies really made me happy.
The whole nine yards
Seen this film heaps. Always loved it, im not sure why.
spirited away
The bloke who created this is just brilliant. All his films (kiki's, castle in the sky) are just amazing. An amazing film.
zoolander
....... do i really have to saty anything? This is my kinda humour.
Harry Potter 4
The first 3..... no love, (especially the third, ew) But the fourth was definately worth its time and wait. Truely did injoy this film! I believe they cut out what they had to, to make the film work and the story work. The graphics were lovely and the actors just keep getting better. <3 much love for HP4

[Sinister]

Could you ask a harder question!!


10. Red Dragon Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ralph Feinnes and Harvey Keitel! Based on a book that was already a number one in thriller/crime on my list.

9. The Name of the Rose The book was better but then again the book didn't have Sean Connery *shrugs* What are ya gonna do?

8. Day of the Dead Umm, what do you want? I love the way Romero can use a vapid topic like Zombies to make some of the most powerful statements in Hollywood history. What do you think he was trying to say about Ike's Military-Industrial complex in this one?

7. Gosford Park If you want a reason? It was hilarious and for some reason it is the most comfortable movie to watch that I can think of. It creates a weird noir soothing atmosphere.

6. In the Mouth of Madness Nothing creepier than Jurgen Prochnow as a demigod, and the coolest actor in hollywood (Yes that's right coolest!) Sam Neil. But seriously, rent this! It will mess with you!

5. North By Northwest Duh, Classic! Witty, edgy and it has James Mason!

4. Adaptation Hands down the niftiest movie of our time! And it had Orchids!

3. The Big Lebowski I cry everytime I watch this movie. I fact I almost laughed myself into the hospital because of this flick!

2. Casablanca So help me, if I have to explain this one to you, then you sir, should be shot!

1. Henry V I'm sorry that this movie is better than the pitiful movies in your list. I'm sorry that this is the movie. I'm sorry that no greater version of this movie will ever be made than the one with Kenneth Branagh. I can quote it while drugged and freak out a nurse that was trying to administer anesthesia so much so that she asks my girlfriend what I was talking about in a disturbed tone. lol that was funny as hell.


P.S., BTW and while we're on the subject: The member who posts Lucky Number Slevin in their list will go far!
