Definitely. No one believed me in 'The Ring' thread when I kept telling them that the Japanese version is much scarier.. at last someone who's watched it! Heh...

One of my old friends was the star of that Almost Famous. His names Patrik Fugit and he played the main reporter kid. I haven't seen him in a long time though, I assume he has moved on to better things.

As for my favorites:
The Matrix
Memento
Ocean's Eleven
Beverly Hills Cop
Groundhog Day

P-Worm

[Simon Liquid]

North by Northwest.
Among Hitchcock's greatest, I just picked one rather than spam the list with every movie he ever made.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
No laughing. This was Tim Burton's first full length film and established his and Paul Reuben's genius.

Empire Strikes Back
No contest, the best Star Wars film, probably seen this through more times than any move other than maybe...

The Princess Bride
I love pretty much everything about this. Cast, humor, action, dialog.

The Life of Brian
In my opinion this is the superior Python movie.

Not on my list is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
but the other 2 are good.

Brazil
Terry Gilliam is another director whose stuff I pretty much all like, this is his best.

Apocalypse Now
The reason Francis Ford Coppola will not be cast into one of the inner circles of hell for directing "Bram Stoker's Dracula."

I think that's enough for now.

[DakotaGuy]

I like a lot of different movies, some of my Favs are 8 Mile, Black Hawk Down, Jurrasic Park, XXX, Dances With Wolves, Thunderheart (I like Thunderheart because it is a good movie and was shot in South Dakota. My HS Principal was one of the stand ins, he is the guy getting the hub cap out of the river).

As funny as this sounds my all time fav is Days of Thunder.

[King Cobra]

The Fifth Element
Bluestreak
Terminator 2
Volcano
The Net
Speed
Spaceballs

[ilikeiBook]

The Matrix

Other movies i like are:
Lord of the Rings
Wayne's World
Holes
Austin Powers in Goldmember
Shanghai Noon
Himalaya
Return of the Jedi
Die Another Day
Groundhog Day
The Fifth Element
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
Chicken Run
Toy Story 2
Monsters Inc.
Shrek

yeah, I watched the american version right after the Jap. version, it wasn't even scary after the Jap. version.

[runningman]

Shawshank redemption - one of those movies that you have to watch whenever it comes on.

Van Wilder - one of the funnier movies with great dialogue

Christmas Vacation - Chevy Chases's best and Quaids also

Usual Suspects - just for the twist at the end and one of spacey's better movies also Del Tor was great

Seven - just for pure creepy factor plus Freeman, Spacey, Pitt were awesome

12 Monkeys kind of like pulp fiction jumping around a lot trying to follow the plot line through time plus Pitt was a great lunatic

Animal House, Weird Science, Fletch, Fast times at Ridgemont High, Porky's all great classics

[sillymacgirl]

My list has a pretty wide variation of movie styles...

Lilo and Stitch
The Princess Bride
Fight Club
The Majestic

scem0, I believe I see a theme in there! :p

[NavyIntel007]

WOAH... I just rented RINGU (Jap version of the Ring) and man oh man... scared me all over again. I think I liked it better because this version had an element of misticism that the US audience, for the most part, is too feeble minded to take in. I think I might have to go to church after that one...

[Foxer]

Alright. Here we go, my list appears a little different than most here...

1. Bridge on the River Kwai. Love it, and the origin of my signature quote...

2. Vertigo. So my two favorite films are about the dark side of obsession.

3. Dr. Strangelove. The only Kubrick film I really liked.

4. Howard's End. Don't ask me why, I just love this one. Almost intercahngable with Remains of the Day.

5. Lawrence of Arabia.

Round out the top 10 are
6. The Empire Strikes Back
7. Crimes and Misdemenors
8. Citizen Kane
9. Dead Again
10. TIE: Clerks and Monty Python and the Holy Grail

my parents deprived me of movies with an 'R' rating for many years of my life, so there is still a lot i haven't seen.

[King Cobra]

Damn, that's harsh. I was watching rated R movies well before I was even 10 years old.

Then again, maybe my parents are too accepting.

[sinbushar]

I like movies that resonate after you watch it. Like, it alters your perception about life and hopefully makes you a little wiser. I can appreciate movies that "tastes great and is less filling", style over substance is okay if it's really cool.

[BrittasMac]

Brazil
12 Monkeys
Blade Runner
North by Northwest
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
A Clockwork Orange
LOTR
Star Wars
The Matrix

[GeneR]

Casablanca
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Still the best one. If they do a sequel, I hope it's less corn and more like this one.)
Lawrence of Arabia
Shindler's List
Saving Private Ryan (the first 20 minutes = wow.)

It's A Wonderful Life
The Shop Around the Corner
The Ten Commandments

Ben Hur
Roman Holiday (is there any doubt how beautiful Audrey Hepburn was in this? Big William Wyler fan! Such a natural director!)

Sullivan's Travels
Citizen Kane
Touch of Evil (Great camera angles!)
Psycho (the original one!!!)
The Birds (Tippi! Yeah! Go Tippi! )

The Seven Samurai
Kagemusha
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
The Hidden Fortress
Ikiru

The Bad and The Beautiful (Still visceral. Kirk Douglas is DA MAN.)

Momento (more the novelty idea worked for me, other than that it was a tiring picture to watch)

2001: A Space Oddyssey
Full Metal Jacket

Monty Python And the Holy Grail (I still laugh about why the French were in England)
Monty Python The Life of Brian ( I still laugh about the space aliens)

The Matrix

The Sixth Sense

Glory

Pumpkin (A great satyre for anyone who's dealt with the snobbery and shallowness that is possible in people.)

Rocky I (that's it for the Rocky series)

Bladerunner (can't keep a good android down!)

Pi ( I dig the Jewish numerology idea. Esp. the 314, which is the numerical value of one of the names of God. You'll be seeing it mentioned in Matrix Reloaded, I imagine.)

Superman I (that's it for the Superman series, then it started getting a bit silly)

Enter the Dragon (mostly the fighting. They still haven't done much in the ways of topping this. Even the Matrix directors still hasn't figured this one out yet.)

The Chinese Connection (just the fights alone)

[lmalave]

I completely agree! :D And on top of that, he's witnessed something so huge that it makes him by default one of the more historically important people of that time. And all he gets is some Joe walking by mumbling:

"Lucky bastard!"
