Just wondering what everyones all time fav. movie was.
Mine would have to be Matrix...Can't wait for Part 2 and 3
Too hard to chose just one....Dances With Wolves, A Few Good Men, A league of Their Own, Forrest Gump, Platoon, Rain Man, American History X, The Terminator and Dumb and Dumber.
Mine is the natural with Robert Redford best damn movie in the world.
godfather....![]()
bronx tale or fight club...maybe fast and the furious
Fletch...and what kind of name is poon, anyway?
(Pete this is for you)
Braveheart... I love epics... Ten Commandments was good for its time too, another classic...
There's so many good movies (and even more lousy ones), but I'll name a few: Apocalypse now!, Fight Club, Scarface, Leaving Las Vegas, Snatch, Trainspotting, Natural Born Killers and The Matrix..
Amusing the Amazing.
I'm with Pete. It's to hard to name just one. Here's my list:
Amadeus, Fight Club, When Harry met Sally, Groundhog Day, Scarface, The King of New York(Chris Walken rules), The Natural(Best Sports movie ever), Meet Joe Black(Great acting and story and it has Claire Forlani(Wow, in it), The Terminator(especially the first half). Sleepless in Seatle(Love Meg Ryan). Gladiator.There's a lot more I'm leaving out. If I had to name one I would probably say Amadeus(Greatest genius to ever live) But there are so many great ones.![]()
Braveheart, Heat, Gladiator
WOW, that's a hard Q.
Let see:
-Days of Thunder
-Top Gun
-The Rock
-Rocky
-One flew over the cuckoo's nest
-Dumb & Dumber
-Gone in 60 Seconds.
I could keep going and going, there is just to many good movies![]()
The green mile was pretty cool.
I have several favorites: American Beauty, Top Gun, Blow, Nightmare on Elm Street (the first one, best damn horror movie every made) Old Yeller, and of course Gone With the Wind.
. . . although some of them are rather recent. I guess the question I ask is whether people will still want to watch them, say, 50 years from now. (Yeah, Fight Club was cool, but I doubt that it's going to become a classic.)
Anyway, here's my list, in alphabetical order:
- Amadeus (Pure brilliance.)
- Auntie Mame (The non-musical version, a cult classic.)
- The Caine Mutiny (Those damn strawberries!)
- Cassablanca (and no one else mentioned it!)
- David and Lisa (Simple but profound.)
- Eating Raoul (My token bizarre entry.)
- Field of Dreams (Yes, I cried at the end, too.)
- Ghandi, Malcolm X, and Patton (Three diverse bio-epics, equally great)
- Harold and Maude (Quirky, with great music.)
- A Man for All Seasons (Scofield was brilliant, pure and simple.)
- Mommie Dearest (My token trash entry, with the best line I've ever heard in a movie . . . "No... wire... hangers!!! Ever!!!")
- Singin' in the Rain (Nothing profound, just pure entertainment.)
- Sunset Boulevard (Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up...)
- West Side Story (Crazy! Cool! Crazy! Tastes great! Less filling!)
(Maybe we should do one on favorite movie lines.)![]()

Hey TNT, thats a cool list you have. Obviously you are a movie buff. I need to watch a lot of those you have on your list. This question is a very good and interesting one, thanks Shredz. I hope a lot more people reply. One I forgot is "The Shawshank Redemption." A great inspirational movie showing the power of the human spirit.![]()
HEAT is top 5
It is hard to pick 1, but 1 of my favs is Terminator 2
I like so many movies
-Usual Suspects
-Scareface
-American History X
-Goodfellas
-Casino
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
Seven, State of Grace, Raging Bull, Bull Durham, Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Rudy, Philadelphia, Austin Powers...International Man of Mystery (yeah Baby!!).....and Halloween.
I think it would have been easier to get a short list on worst Movie ... so I will start that thread ...hehehe
Mine ...hmmmm ? another puzzler ...
Red October .... Sabrina ( both versions ) .... Caddyshack , Godfather .... Final Coutdown ..... Finding Forrester ...
too many too list .... I have about 200+ dvd's and I only buy the movies I feel are really good .... so it may take awhile to narrow down ....
New thread comming up
I like most of the movies that are listed so far. I am going to be a major dork though and say Benny and Joon. It's one of the only movies I can watch over and over again and still laugh. That's my choice on comedy. Matrix, I love that one too for sci-fi. And I also like any movie with Julia Roberts in it.
Let the flames begin.![]()
there has never been a movie made that even compares to SCARFACE!
Aliens
I got new fav's every month. Whatever get my blood pumping and my nerves rageing is my fav. The Fast and the Furious got me so pumped, i couldn't breath properly, no word of a lie, it was going nuts , i had to hit the gym instantly.
My all time favorite move is Excalibur it an easy choice for me....the runners up would be Caddy Shack, The Matrix, Fight Club, The Patriot, and last but not least Braveheart........oh ya Slapshot is good too eh.
The Rivers Edge (Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Crispin Glover), Good Will Hunting (How do you like them apples?), My Left Foot
From Dust to Dawn, love that movie, only one i have ever watch more than 1x.
Bad Luitenent(Harvey Kietel)
Great movie about a sick,crooked cop.
Time to add more to my list...Swordfish, Scarface, The Game, Predator, America history X, Backdraft, Boyz in the Hood.
