theres propbably more...

generally I like fantasy movies, the fairy tale like ones though...movies like Lord of the Rings are really good but just take themselves too seroiusly!

sci-fi is great too, but most of it is just so silly (but i absolutely love bad 50's sci-fi)
my favorite sort of sci-fi usually involves some horrible oppressive force (like the government in 1984, and the machines in the Matrix)

i love dark comedy and satire too

Star Wars

Harry Potter
Labryinth
Ice Age

Indiana Jones Trilogy

Pirates of the Caribbean

and many more...

I just got this small arthouse film from the nineties on DVD about a week ago and I've already watched it about 5 times. It's called Pi (Technically, the name is the actual greek/mathmatical symbol for Pi). I can only describe it as a black and white psychological cyberpunk thriller which in plot terms is kind of like the Da Vinci Code, only AWESOME and not crap-as-can-be (I've not seen the film version of The DaVinci Code but I've read the book; I assure you it's crap-as-can-be).

It's the most visually stunning thing you'll ever see (not just in the quality of cinematography, but the editing is also just plain amazing), it's suprisingly intelligent, it's extraordinarily well written and it's refreshingly dark and tragic. If you like films, watch this.

Oh, and its among my favourite films. I know this thread's supposed to be for a list of favourite films and stuff but I'm halfway through a Film Studies A level so my list is about three hundered films long. Besides, I've posted a few lists on this thread before.

Pi is an alright movie. It's good, but i've seen much better.



my favorite movies right now are:

Starwars IV, V, VI
Big Trouble in Little China
Saving Private Ryan
Fight Club
Strange Brew

Best movie in theaters right now: The Fountain

It's funny because Saving Private Ryan is nothing compared to Downfall. As for Star Wars, it's all a bit tacky and kitsch for my liking (but then I have been known to fall in love with stuff like Hackers, so its not like I'm completely allergic to kitsch or tackyness). Fight Club is amazing, but like A Clockwork Orange, the book is better. The Fountains by Darren Aronofsky, the guy who did Pi, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna' check that out! I'd never heard of Big Trouble in Little China or Strange Brew until now; the former looks pretty good, but I couldn't find anything on the latter.

As for my ultimate favourite movie of all time ever, it is, as I've said many times on as many threads as possible, THE DESIGNATED MOURNER!!!!!! Another explanation of this film would take too long so just look it up yourself and ignore any critiscisms.

The Lord of the Rings
- The Fellowship of the Ring
- The Return of the King
- The Two Towers
Mists of Avalon
King Arthur
Master and Commander- The Far Side of the World
Pirates of the Caribbean- Curse of the Black Pearl
Chocolat

Star Wars- every one

Matrix, Reloaded, Revolutions
Mirrormask
Pirates of The Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Mans Chest

Over the Hedge

Moulin Rouge--A beautiful, yet tragic film. Starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, it's a story about Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and above all things, Love. The music is incredible, and both stars have amazing voices. It's based off La Boheme and La Traviata, two operas, as well as the myth of the Greek poet Orpheus and his descent into the Underworld. If you like musicals, go pick it up; you won't be disappointed.

LotR
Star Wars
Last Samurai
Troy
Falling Down (I think it's called that)
