[danthegeek]

Dont forget Casino Royale. Not the best of the Bond flicks but not bad.

[Reyer]

Children of Men

[Eclecticos]

Children of Men

Yea, that one was Preddy good. Has a similar theme as the 28 Weeks later except its about infertility instead of infection.

[Reyer]

It had some amazing Cinematography

[Eclecticos]

Yea the War Scenes were Great!

[Reyer]

Yea the War Scenes were Great!

There were a few scenes that went for around 6 or 7 minutes with out one cut. There were bombs going off and debris flying everywhere. I cant even imagine how long that would take

[simon275]

The dirty dozen and the great escape. Classic films

[agnat]

I am a big fan of horror/terror movies...
Saw
Saw II
Texas Chainsaw Massacres
Wrong turn
The Hills have eyes I and II

Sorry to disagree but I thought House of 1000 corpses was about the worst movie I had ever seen (just my $0.02 worth)

Agnat

[Luke122]

House of 1000 Corpses was really bad. Agreed.

The Good Shepherd was really bad also, imho. It was hard to follow, and just generally uninteresting.

I really enjoy movies that make you think, or totally immersive movies. To cover both those points, Children of Men was easily the best movie I've seen this year!

[Spawn-Inc]

Sorry to disagree but I thought House of 1000 corpses was about the worst movie I had ever seen (just my $0.02 worth)

Agnat

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :evil: :evil: :mad: :mad:
it was certenly better than wrong turn. if you want to see the worse movie then go check out camp fire stories!

but yes its ur 2 cents.


House of 1000 Corpses was really bad. Agreed.


same comment as above.


did either of you like/watch the devils rejects?

[xRyokenx]

The Sentinel... the SciFi Channel one, I watched most of it and then my bro's tutor came. :(

It's about how they made these cyborg drones to replace the police, and then eventually go on a rampage just killing people, it's a kickass scifi military action movie, and totally my style too. There's more to the plot, but I haven't seen enough to put much more together.

I'd post a link, but my grandpa may have had the title wrong.

[.Maleficus.]

Not really a movie, but Band of Brothers is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

[Aero]

Fight Club
Doom (decent movie, but ignore the fact it was based off a video game)

[Omega]

Not really a movie, but Band of Brothers is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

Amen.

It's worth buying, even.

[.Maleficus.]

Amen.

It's worth buying, even.
Definitely.

Though if you're lucky, you may catch a marathon on History Channel. That's when I first saw it, and I watched it for like 6 hours straight.

[nil8]

BOB is definitely a great miniseries. Jump on ebay and buy the box set. Well worth it.

[Zephik]

Tombstone of Fireflies (6/5)
Spirited Away (5/5)
Whisper of the Heart (5/5)
The Cat Returns (4.5/5)

Only Yesterday (3/5)
Ocean Waves (?/5)
Ponpoco (?/5)
Ponyo on a Cliff (-2008-)

Just three more films to go! :)


Tales from Earthsea - by Goro Miyazaki (?/5)

Has anyone seen this one?

and just for laughs and giggles...


The company is well-known for its strict "no-edits" policy in licensing their films abroad. This has stemmed from the disastrous dubbing of Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind when the film was released in the United States as Warriors of the Wind (it was heavily edited and Americanized). There is a rumor that when licensing Princess Mononoke, Miyazaki mailed Miramax a katana with a note reading "no cuts", to underline their "no-editing" policy.

[Drum Thumper]

I can't believe that The Crow or Braveheart haven't been mentioned yet.

Or the first Terminator for that matter.

Or for that matter, Equilibrium. Great movie. Go watch it.

And another independent film just came to mind--Go.

Where the hell is Dazed and Confused?

Don't make me make a list...I don't have time for it at the moment!

[Drum Thumper]

Fine, I'm seeing some glaring ommisions:

All the Harry Potter Movies
The Hobbit (cartoon)
The Sergio Leone trilogy: For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and A Fistful of Dollars
Titan AE
MiB and MiBII
Star Wars IV, V, and VI (not the crap that was released as prequels!)
Strange Days
Dirty Harry
Borat
Any James Bond starring Sean Connery
Casablanca--best movie of all time imho
Anything directed by Mel Brooks
Miami Vice--much darker than the TV show from the 80's
T2

And I'm sure there's more that I'm not even thinking of at this time.

[The Black Pumpkin]

Titan AE

Watching it now! :banana:

[Spacehonkey]

I can't believe that ...

Or for that matter, Equilibrium. Great movie. Go watch it.

Not to be a dick or anything but it was mentioned in an earlier list.

[Drum Thumper]

Not to be a dick or anything but it was mentioned in an earlier list.

No offense taken. This list or a different thread?

My apologizes.

The Station Agent (http://www.thestationagent.com/) - Wife HAD to watch it for a class she was taking, and it was one of the best movies I have ever paid for.

Heavy Metal (http://www.metaltv.com/page.cfm?id=146) - Classic animation and not that weak ass anime stuff that all looks the same. ;) (I liked anime for the first dozen times)

[Eclecticos]

A good Sci-Fi movie - Sunshine

[Drum Thumper]

The World's Fastest Indian (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412080/). Great flick, based on a true story.

Wow, no one said Dark City yet.

Bladerunner

[Eclecticos]

Dark City now thats a good movie I haven't seen in a long time. Trippy.
If you like that you may want to see: Ghost Ship

[HackSore]

Some of my favourite movies:

Dellamorte Dellamore
Quite simply the best movie i have ever seen, so good i paid £35 for it on VHS, and have vowed to watch it only once every ten years or so, so it doesnt loose its impact!

John Carpenters The Thing

Dawn of the Dead
The original of course, the remake would have been a semi-decent film in its own right, but as a remake was a joke.

Childs Play
NOT the childs play about chucky the doll, but a film i taped off the sci-fi channel years and years back about a family waking up in the night to discover they are trapped in their own house.
it was a made for tv movie, hammer house of mystery and suspense i think.

Stalker

Ginger Snaps

Tadpole

28 days

American Beauty

Ghost World

The House By The Cemetary

Night Of The Hunter

2001: A Space Odyssey

Assault On Precinct 13
Again, the original, havent seen the remake and dont care to.

Thats all i can think of right now.

[Eclecticos]

Wanted
You Dont Mess With The Zohan
The Love Guru

[Pointy_Stick]

How can you put The Love Guru and You Dont Mess With The Zohan on there, but fail to mention The Dark Knight?

For shame Eclecticos, for shame.

[Eclecticos]

Haven't seen that one yet. :D

Hancock
The Incredible Hulk
Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Scull

[Pointy_Stick]

Go see it. It is absolutely incredible. Everything you've heard about Heath Ledger is completely true. I cannot recommend it enough.

[Tavarin]

Seen the Dark Knight twice already and want to go see it again.
Also Step Brothers was really funny.

[Eclecticos]

Death Race

83-stjseRMQ

[985323]

Eagle Eye looks really good

[XcOM]

that death race is bloddy excelent, you can see the refrences to death race 2000, but i think someone has been playing Full Auto too much :laugh:

[aintnothang]

The Puffy Chair.

[gamer_from_aust]

wanted looks good

[Eclecticos]

Yea, Wanted is a really good movie.

sxEAE-10YTE

[Pointy_Stick]

So Wanted is actually good? From what I saw of the trailers, I looked pretty rubbish to me. I mean, I like dumb action as much as the next guy (Shooter and Die Hard 4.0 rocked) but Wanted didn't look that great. The whole bullet curving thing made me go "Nah, I'll leave it thanks."

Oh well, I'll probably pick it up as a weekly rental later and judge it then. It might have some redeeming set pieces or something I'm unaware of.

To contribute, October Sky. Based on a true story about a 1950's American teenage boy who starts building model rockets and ends up at NASA. Very inspirational without being all sappy and Disney-like. Also check out the book it was based on, Rocket Boys by Homer H Hickam. It goes into a little more detail about the characters and their relationships.

[Eclecticos]

Mirrors
Eagle Eye
Max Payne
Pineapple Express
Burn After Reading
Punisher: War Zone

[KiLLERMAN21]

October Sky was effing brilliant, watched that one for English.

There are alot of truly epic movies here, but one that I havent seen on the list is A Clockwork Orange! That one has to be on there for sure! How can you forget a character like Alex DeLarge! Other movies that are must sees are:

Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
The Rush Hour Trilogy
Superbad
The Austin Powers Trilogy
The American Pie Collection
Batman - The Dark Knight
King Kong (new one is epic)
LOTR Trilogy
The Starwars Collection
Anchorman
October Sky
300
Back to the Future Trilogy
WALL-E
Hot Fuzz
Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
Ironman
Don't Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

I dont know if many of you will know of South Central, but it is a truly hilarious movie.

Thats all ive got for now, but there will probably be more to come.


I know there are some on there that have already been said, but im just reinforcing the opinion.
