I have an eclectic taste in movies, but prefer ones that are ‘dark.’ I also have a soft spot in my heart for those cheesy 80s films. Many of these movies are “guilty” pleasures too.

Tough question, these are just the ones I can think of right off the bat in a somewhat particular order…

[size=92]Forrest Gump (Why wouldn’t you like this movie I ASK YOU!! I am also a master of Forrest Gump impressions.)
Blow (So…who wants to sell some coke, you in? Ironic though, the ultimate crime doesn’t pay story.)
The Godfather Trilogy (although the third one was definitely the worst of the three)
Scarface (and a giant pile of cocaine sits on his desk, sticks his face in it an image that will stick with me…)
Pulp Fiction (Very cool, very cool)
Goodfellas (another epic mafioso)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I love that dorky fantasy stuff, and the landscapes were simply amazing…gotta go the New Zealand some day)
The Network (Way ahead of its time, and well…a hell of a lot of good monolouges.)
Full Metal Jacket (Just two especially memorable quotes…“What do we have here, a fucking comedian! Private, Joker! I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister!”, “I’ll bet you’re the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around!”
Fight Club (think I read someone say it had a lame twist but good fights well screw that man! The twist was not lame, and of course the fights were good, they were damn good!)[/size]

and there are many more, on my lower echelon of favorites list, though they can morph together at times…

[size=92]Dumb and Dumber (the original funniest goddamn movie ever for me, good quote “Aspen, where the beer flows like wine…”, also the last scene was truly great.)
Giant (its an oldie but an goodie, my sister forced me to watch it)
Friday (“Its a Friday, you ain’t got shit to do…we gonna get you high!”, I always love when they show people getting high in the movies, I only wish it was actually that cool…)
Gattaca (the scene where Uma Thermon says “You are…a god-child!?”, something about it stuck with me, the movie was very beautiful as a whole)
Equilibrium (although a cheap knockoff of Fahrenheit 451…)
Gladiator (Russell Crowe is a badass in this one…)
Carlito’s Way (Oh Al Pacino you just had to fucking die!!)
A Clockwork Orange (I raped and pillaged after watching this one!)
Groundhog Day (Bill Murrey, you are a funny man)
Blade Runner (Nicely ahead of its time, cool cyberpunk film.)
American History X
Casino (fucking classic, Sharon Stone you crazy bitch)
Donnie Darko (Call me stupid, but I had to watch it twice to fully understand it, and…mabye I still don’t.)
Kill Bill 1 & 2 (Uma Thermon is hot.)
the fucking ‘Karate Kid’ (Danielson, you must 'wass on, wass off")
Die Hard (man Bruce Willis is such a hard ass)
Lethal Weapon (and so is Mel Gibson)
Braveheart
Resourvoir Dogs
[/size]

mabye I’ll add more later…so many, I love movies!!!

Forgot to mention Boyz in the Hood, suprised nobody else did.
Oh yeah and I Heart Huckabees.

Boyz N the Hood was my favorite movie for a few years, actually. But I was an impressionable youth then. Watching it now, it’s a bit melodramatic, the acting is subpar at best, and opposed to finding those guys ‘cool’ as I did when I was younger, now I just think they’re idiots. Still a good movie, to be sure, but I’d say it ultimately lacks staying-power.

I just watched Waking Life after reading Mucius’s little review on it and I loved it. I think I’m gonna watch it again!
I would say it was one of my favorite movies but it didn’t really have a plot so I wouldn’t classify it as a movie in the traditional sense.

My Top Ten Overlooked/Underrated/Silly Movies:

American Graffiti
Biloxi Blues
Clue
Detroit Rock City
Beautiful Girls
Creepshow
A League of Their Own
Chasing Amy
The Game
Predator

Admittedly, I don’t have such a vast film culture, and I am still waiting to finish downloadi… ermm… buying Antonioni’s films and a couple of Fellini’s which I haven’t seen, so I can make my own list, after I’ve watched them. I am particularly anxious to view, L’Avventura, L’Eclisse, La Notte, La strada, Nights of Cabiria.

Mr. Kebop, if you liked the outlandish feel of Waking Life, you could try Fellini’s 8 1/2. It is based on the same principle of mental distorsion, with emphasis this time on flash-backs, in the manner of Proust. Plus, it features Caludia Cardinale, who is a lovely girl.

Thank you sir, I’ll be sure to check it out.

ALIEN
CATCH 22
THE INSIDER
RAGING BULL
SAVE THE TIGER
THE DEER HUNTER
LAST TANGO IN PARIS
200I A SPACE ODYSSEY
ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT

The greatest movie of all time is indisputably ‘Stand by Me’ (with The Breakfast Club at a close second place). It was our favorite as kids… in fact, my neighborhood buddies and I went on a similar adventure when we ran away from home.

a scene that’s very dear to me

I cried when I watched titanic.

No I really did. You prolly think I’m bullshitting because I always do. But not this time, ILP. Not this time.

It was under the “untab” button.

Where to start…

Léon: The Professional 1995… a very memorable assassin film, in which assassin adopts girl
Dog Soldiers 2002… British soldiers inadvertently face rampant werewolves in the Scottish Highlands
All the brat pack films put together 1980s… is that cheating
Fallen 1998… supernatural detective thriller involving Denzel Washington and an unforeseen cat
Battleship 2012… the best alien invasion film imo, for the brutal alien WMDs alone
Watchmen 2009… sci-fi at its kitschest retro best, done in the most fabulous of outfits
The Great Wall 2017… East meets West, and together saves the City from the feeding vicious wild beasts
The Watch 2012… a neighbourhood watch group v an alien invasion, whilst enjoying themselves far too much
The Fearless Vampire Killers 1967… how to kill a vampire, without stoking up their enamoured bloodlust desires
Resident Evil 2002… the highest-grossing film series based on a video game, having grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide.

Reminds me of another classic. Falling Down, from Joel Schumacher with Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall.
