So you're a chick?
So you're a chick with bad taste?
OK one from column A - Historical Drama : A Man for All Seasons ..... or Zulu for the stiff upper lip heroics
One from column B - Historical Dharma ( movie humour .I crack me up): Grosse Point Blank.
One from column C - Horror : The Exorcist . I'm tempted to put Jaws but I saw it again recently and the "town" scenes haven't age well.Also Alien but I prefer happier endings .
Speaking of townies ,column D ,Sports Movies : Breaking Away .Again a close call with several baseball movies - Field of Dreams, Bull Durham (not that it's really about baseball), The Natural , a football movie or two, notably Brian's Song and of course Chariots of Fire and both the Prefontaine movies not to mention Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner ( again not really about the running - at least literally - though) and of course being Canadian , Slap Shot.
What's that leave, comedies ?Sort of cover that with Grosse Point or Sci-fi ? Alien/Aliens - even though as mentioned the first is a horror movie and the second is a western.:unsure:
OK then how about another Western - The Warriors mainly for the ending even though I'm assumed to admit that I really like Hill's Streets of Fire better ( sort of love/hate though).
Wait I've changed my mind.

Eh I don't know. I don't care much about the art aspects of a film. I judge a film's worth by figuring how good watching it felt. So, I'd rather choose the feel-goodness of Bedazzled over the awe in Heath Ledger's acting in The Dark Knight.
Bedazzled At least tell me that's it's the Dudley Moore/Peter Cook one.
The one with Brendan Fraser. Haha Diff stroke for different folks.

Good to see you're trying out the comma thing. Keep on plugging, kiddo.
Try to regard it as representative of your breathing. Up until now, you came across as an intelligent Dennis Leary.
For further reading, check out Samuel Beckett's How It Is. A novel devoid entirely of punctuation and left trusting to the reader's asthma.
In other news, you're a cunt. Woo hoo!!
Also, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner is one of my favourites. For obvious reasons.
I think Sillitoe died recently. Which kinda refreshed it for me.

I would have gone with The Great Dictator or Modern Times although Chaplin's genius shines brightest in Limelight .
Laughter is actually a response to pain ,not joy( why do you think that you laugh when someone falls down?) a fact that Chaplin was acutely aware of.

-Chicago (close runner up, Cabaret)

I'm assuming that we're making a distinction between "great" and "favorite" movies here.
There are lots of great films whose merits I admire without feeling compelled to watch them repeatedly.

The Abyss!!! (Just perfect!)
The Shawshank Redemption
The Notebook
Blood in Blood out (too bad very few people know about this movie! it's a great one)
Legends of the Fall
but so many more are egual in greatness to those above, for my taste at least.

The scene from The Abyss in which Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio are trapped in the flooding sub is one of my personal favorites.Of course Cameron always knew his way around an emotionally charged set piece.
That said I think The Abyss falters badly at times and I'm not sure that the ending got it right.
Legends of the Fall ,the best part was the last line.

Into the Wild, directed by Sean Penn, I never saw my wife crying that much after watching a movie and she usually is not the crying type. An amazing and sad story at the same time.

Little known fact they tried to make a similar movie with Fred Durst but they had to give up on the idea .
No matter how many takes they shot they still couldn't get the extras to stop laughing when they told them that near the end they would have to look like they were enjoying his music.

You're parents should have been smart enough to realize that being into basketball only means that you're also into prostitutes , guns and drugs .
Watch this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112461/)or do something else.
Huh apparently basketball and football have more in common than I had realized.

Natural Born Killers.
I have to give a huge nod to it. It might not be my absolute favorite of all time, but it's extremely well done, and has no flaws to speak of, there's really not a single bad thing you can say about it. So I'm sure it's close. Great cast, awesome characters, amazing soundtrack, really good story. And great drama, comedy, satire all rolled in one. Every time that I have seen it, I've always enjoyed it more and more. And the extended/unedited version has some absolutely great scenes and parts that didn't make the theatrical cut, really some of the best stuff of the entire movie.
Blowup, Landscape in the Mist, Metropolis, Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Cries and Whispers, Viridiana, M, The Conformist, Bridge on the River Kwai
