Favorite movies of all time... - Page 4

I just saw The Blues Brothers movie for the first time (yeah, I too wonder why I haven't seen it before) and although it isn't on my favourite movies of all time list it certainly is a real treat with some good blues!

I haven't seen Scarface, Goodfellas, or Pulp Fiction, so I forgive you.

I love the end chase. It's so hilariously over the top.

I just saw Rosemary's baby for the first time. Awesome.

And Blues Brothers is the greatest musical EVER. (Which makes it almsot the best movie ever in my book).

I wonder how many cars they wrecked in that chase.

Garyos · 10-01-2003, 02:46 AM

I don't know how many, but it's a world record....

Garyos · 10-02-2003, 10:26 AM

Just saw Dancer in the Dark for the first time.........

Step aside, Blues Brothers.....

A lot of the films that have already been mentioned and...

The Matrix 1 & 2 - yes, the second one too, the second half makes up for the slow start)
Southpark, bigger, longer & uncut - the ultimate parody of the US
Bowling for Columbine - the best documentary ever!
The Frighteners - hilarious and scary at the same time
As good as it gets - deliciously cynical
Ocean's Eleven - FUN
The Sixth Sense - SCARY, eventhough I knew the ending because a friend had told me. Still sort of felt surprising somehow...
Shrek - "Yeah! I'm a FLYIN' talking donkey!"
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - fantastic fighting scenes and great acting also
The Truman Show - brilliant satire
Les Visiteurs - one of the funniest films ever
Men in Black - "You don't like it, you can kiss my furry little BUTT!"
The Gods must be crazy 2 - great fun
The Fifth Element - strange, wild and generally a great film
Sunes sommar - FUNNY! (jag skrattade så hårt jag nästan dog...)
Back to the future trilogy - Doc
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - "No, god isn't with us, cause he hates idiots too."
Jurassic Park - ROAR!

I also really enjoyed Taxi, by Luc Besson... though it doesn't quite make it to my all-time favourites list. Also while I'm at it with non-english films, "Fucking åmal" is also an excellent film. Ooh, and has anyone ever seen No Man's Land?

What?? Those two movies have absolutely nothing to do with each other. There are literally no planes on which they can be compared. I thought Dancer in the Dark was very good, but perhaps a bit too manipulative.

BTW, just to be clear, I don't actually think The Blues Brothers is THE best movie of all time, I just say that about everything I think is really cool

It's obviously quite far from the best movie ever, but it's certainly in my top 5 comedies, unquestionably.

Perhaps they compete as his favorite movie?

Tina · 10-03-2003, 05:34 AM

Dancer in the dark is the movie I've cried the most in... My head hurt for a long time afterwords because of the crying... Indeed one of my favorites.

OK, you passed my 'are you human' test

And what about Tina, hmmmmm?!

I've managed to watch that film twice but I don't know if I ever will again.

Tina · 10-03-2003, 07:56 AM

I really feel like watching it again... I don't think I can watch it with people though, because I have problems with crying in front of people... So it would have to be a time when I would not be disturbed...

I might actually watch it again tonight...

Henke · 10-03-2003, 08:09 AM

So I take it that you all think that Dancer in the Dark was a good movie?

A girl in my class has been telling me to see it, but she's such a huge fan of Björk so I've always thought that could have clouded her judgment.

Tamara · 10-03-2003, 09:42 PM

nono, henke, it's an excellent movie

and yes, of course tina passes the test

which I talk about on my webpage, hint hint
