the dubbed version blows a cage full of dead apes.

[scem0]

All dubbed movies do... It is as good as a dubbed movie gets though. :( I watch a lot of dubbed movies because my favorite movie genre is martial arts/Kung Fu

[Rajj]

It's kinda hard to say for me, ummmm.....
I go by categories like:

Action:Hoodlum/Shaft/ Fast and the Furious/Swordfish
Action Comedy: Rush Hour 2
Horror: Hannibal
And many others:p

Probably my favorite right now is Y tu Mama Tambien. Minority Report and Road to Perdition were pretty good too, but Y Mama was raunchy and I like raunchy. :D

My sister has the y tu mama tambien sountrack. :D she listens to it soooo much. That confuses me because to my knowledge it is in spanish.... she confuses me though :).
Before I said Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and that the matrix was right behind it. But now that I think about it. The matrix and LOTR are both behind it. You cant forget LOTR.... ;)

[robbybogers]

mine would either be Hackers or Groove

but the matrix and lotr has to be on my list too

[ShaolinMiddleFinger]

All the movies I truly care about are the only ones I bought on DVD....I can't really give you a full list and I can't give you a favorite but off the top of my head....

Crouching Tiger....I loved it so much I bought the DVD from china before the American one came out...it came with Music videos, too

Goonies

Fast Times At Ridgemont High

Storm Riders

A Man Called Hero

all of the Asian Movie Fans should know of the last two....

[vniow]

Just thought of another one: Man Bites Dog. It's a French film in black and white and subtitles about this film crew following this eccentric serial killer around as he goes about his business and they eventually get caught up in the act with him. Very funny. Violent, but still funny. :)

[solvs]

"Rumble Fish".

Look it up, you'll thank me. And, clichéd or not, "Casablanca".

Great movies.

[Wildcat]

I could make a long list but I dont have time.
So I will just say one
The Royal Tenenbaums

[irmongoose]

My list (not in order of rank):

Snatch
Pulp Fiction
Devdas (a Hindi film)
Enemy of the State
The House on Haunted Hill
Ring (The original, Japanese version of the upcoming Hollywood film, "The Ring")
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (I know, I know....)
All Dragon Ball movies
Mission Impossible (The first one)

That's all I can think of now...




irmongoose

[DaedalusDE]

Heres my list:

Requiem For A Dream
American Beauty
Shadow of the Vampire
Amelie
Signs*
Minority Report*

*both of which i already own on DVD

If you havent seen any of these movies i highly reccommend paying the 4.86 to rent em at blockbuster. Or in the case of the last two, take a trip to Long Beach, Long Island on a Friday between 12:00 and 4:00 and pick them up for 12 buxx.

[Macmaniac]

Here are mine:
LOTR
All the Star Wars
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Tremors- was supposed to be a horror film but turned out to be a comedy
Star Trek Originals
Can't think of more but I will.

[peterjhill]

Cinema Paradiso (looking forward to this summer's re-release)
Harry Potter :D
LOTR
The Matrix
Star Wars: A new Hope
Crouching Tiger
Brain Candy
The Professional, La Femme Nikita, hell, anything by Luc Besson
MIB and MIB 2
Holy Grail
Princess Bride
Debbie Does Dallas (just kidding, seeing if you are paying attention ;-)
Apocolypse Now
Empire of the Sun
Guilderstern and Rosencrantz are Dead
Shakespeare in Love
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Die Hard (see if you can figure out how those four are linked for some fun)
The Blues Brothers
Braveheart
Bring on the Night (Sting in Concert, directed by Micheal Apted)
Austin Powers 1 and 2
Brazil

Hell, there are just too many. I am addicted to buying DVDs. That will have to be the next thread, how many dvd's do you own, I'm up to around 100. Of course this could then digress into how many HP your car has (mine has one, and HP 2100 ;-) and then it will get down to ***** size and that will just be then end of macrumors as we know it. (just kidding all)

...
Office Space

Office space is good but it gets boring/bad after watching it for the second time.

My fav is still CTHD (as I posted yesterday :D) - but one thing that is annoying about it is that it puts you in a sad/depressed mood - since it is such a depressing movie. Li Mui Bai (I think I spelled that correctly) dies! Sorryy for giving away what happens people who havn't seen it :p . I would like to add Iron Monkey to my list because it has some great fight scenes (and a little girl plays the little boy).

And I almost forgot the Once Upon a Time in China series. Too much wire-fu though...

Office space is good but it gets boring/bad after watching it for the second time.

I've seen office space at least 20-30 times. It's probably one of the funniest comedies to come out recently. Now, I wouldn't add it to my favorites list because it does get boring after the first 45 minutes, but it picks up speed towards the end.

[topicolo]

here's an addendum to my previous list:

Total Recall
Commando (one of the first movies I ever saw)
U-571
Akira
Band of Brothers (I know, it's not a movie but it still kicks ass)
American Psycho
Back to the Future trilogy
Enter the Dragon
Minority Report
Pulp Fiction
Training Day
Star Trek: first contact
The Indiana Jones trilogy
The Sixth Sense

[mc68k]

Some of my favorites:

Original Star Wars Trilogy
Leon: The Professional
2001: A Space Odyssey
Pulp Fiction
and others...

But I really like these. :)
