My favorite guilty pleasure movie, and one that few if any have ever heard of or seen, is RAD. I cannot count how many times I've seen that movie on ten people's fingers and toes.

 

[Unspoken Demise]

-Fight Club
-Boondock Saints
-Donnie Darko

Many MANY others, but I'm tired, at work, and its not even 9 am.

Huge, longtime fan of Snatch and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. Truly great movies with a nice mix of black humor, action, violence...I think they fill a niche between truly great movies that I would put on an "All Time Best Movies" list and something a little more popcorn. I don't think that they're movies for the ages, but I could watch them almost every day and still be entertained.

It's more than movie, it's a religion

Then call me an atheist. I watched it and didn't like it at all.

Then call me an atheist. I watched it and didn't like it at all.

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Some great movies have been listed here and others that I have never seen.

Some of my own favourites are Lone Star (super movie by John Sayles), Jesus of Montreal (incredible French Canadian movie), Au Revoir Les Enfants (set in war time France in a Jesuit board school, gripping), My Life As A Dog, (bittersweet stunning coming of age Swedish movie), Citizen Kane (brilliant), The Leopard (starring Burt Lancaster, rivetting, directed by Visconti and based on Lampedusa's book) as well as standard favourites such as first two Godfather movies, Pulp Fiction, Amalie, Shawshank Redemption, Unforgiven, Monty Python's Life of Brian and The Holy Grail.

Cheers

Then call me an atheist. I watched it and didn't like it at all.

It's the kind of movie that either clicks with you or it doesn't. I guess it *is* kind of like religion then!

 

[Xfujinon]

So many choices in this life. A few...


Braveheart
Unforgiven
Pan's Labyrinth
Papillon


My true all time favorite film:

The Silence of the Lambs


But, I like tons of films. Cross of Iron was awesome, so was the R Crumb documentary, and millions of other films I've seen. Hard to choose just a few.
