Awesome movie choice Frann. Modern day classic!

Top Movies

1 - Top Comedy - BEST IN SHOW - About a dog show. The actors improv at least 90% of this movie, and the casting is stellar. Definitely a laugh out loud comedy for me.

2 - Top Sci Fi - Star Wars - I am a devoted fan so I do accept all the movies, even the ones done in 90s and 00s and hopefully the new ones will make up for them. But I will religiously love the original movies forever!

3 - Top Guilty Pleasure Film - Showgirls - And not because of all the flesh but because the acting is so bad its so so so so good, and if you ever want to laugh maniacally...watch this movie, the pool scene is ridiculous.

4  - The truth is I love movies...its more about what movies I am NOT into --- I am not into hardcore slasher movies but love a good thriller and expect a bit of gore now and then. My tastes have changed as well, I am not overly into big budget movies with overly done CGI...I am sure it takes many hours to do all that CGI work but the first Lord of The Rings movies compared to the latest ones, with so much more CGI and a lot less real-action cast i.e. Uruk hai are mostly CGI in latest movies, just ruined it for me!. 

5 - Top Anime Movie - any of the "Bleach" movies - Great anime franchise. Awesome sci fi and sorcery blend. Story line is easy to follow and the plot twists are sublime. 

Thanks for posting this thread!

People might think im nuts but i loved the harry potter movies. I was sad when the last one finished, i just wanted the story to go on and on. 

While watching them i felt i was in that world and i liked it more than this one. If i could have stepped through the screen into hogwarts i would. Pity its all make believe.

Hello : )

I have found something beautiful and perhaps if may move something inside you too...

Heart Of A Dog by Laurie Anderson.  

You will find the preview - has just been released in New York.  Already I'm spellbound

( the one I just watched was the official trailer)

 

 I must tell my mum about this.  She's still crying for her little dog.  Poor mum. Poor Charlotte

I rather like Beautiful Thing, it is a good old fashioned story of two boys falling in love for the first time. When it came out there were not many stories on the big or little screen that had good endings for kids like me, and it is encouraging how that has changed. 

Two of my favourite movies are:

Sissi......staring Romy Schneider and an old movie called

It's a wonderful Life........ staring James Stewart, Donna Reed

i love donnie darko . 1. jake is mmm and 2. time-travel.  my 2 favourite subjects

hahaha

 

i want to see

anomalisa

"Whiplash" and "Lucy" both very well made and entertaining!

I like Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movies such as 50 First Dates.

I also like the old horror movies Nightmare on Elm street

I also enjoy true story movies the one that comes to mind is I Know My Name is Steven. While I was watching it I was crying like really crying and the real-estate agent turned up at my door unexpected. She looked so worried for me, it took a little for me to explain as I was trying to calm myself down from all the crying.

 

I love the Bond films. I put the Sean Connery Bond films on a high pedastool. I just feel they were at such a high level of quality in the 60s that I don't think nothing they do will top them. I love all of the Bond films mind you but I just put Connery on such a high level.

Outside of that I would say my favorite movie is Superman:The Movie. I don't think there has been a movie I have seen as much that has never become boring or a chore to sit through. Christopher Reeve is still the best incarnation of Superman in a live action setting and I don't think anyone will come close to topping his portrayal of the character. 

thrillers, dramas and fantasy /epic ( Lord of the rings/star wars)

Sound of Music

Dirty Dancing

Pretty Woman

Mamma  Mia

Taxi Driver

The Machinist

-Amelie (uplifting French film)

- Begin Again

- Wild

- Inside Out (hands down, BEST animated film ever in my opinion!!!)

- 500 Days of Summer

- God Help the Girl (quirky, offbeat film)

- Buddies (inspiring story about 3 people with Down Syndrome).

Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory....ever lasting gog stompers. the Oompa Loompa song.

The 1971 film a classic ... The world is a sadder place with Gene Wilder's passing :(

found an old to revive... watched last night - on the basis of sex

it is based on the life and early cases of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

and recommended by me :)

A nice rom-com and wife thinks it is a slight odd film is

Juliet Naked

You have to read up about it on wiki or similar to find out what it is about.

Seeing the name "Juliet" reminded me of that "Julie and Julia" movie I watched quite a while ago...the one about the cooking haha 😂😂

Love movies, but I find when I find one I really like, I often end up watching it so many times that I get worn out from it 😂

That said, my fav movies at the moment would have to be:

-Porco Rosso (anime)
-Guardians of the galaxy 2
-American made (Tom Cruise)

Loved Julie and Julia...Meryl Streep brilliant as usual...

There are many movies that I love. Here's my top 5:

1. The Hunt for Red October (1990)

2. Ocean's Eleven (2001)

3. Greyhound (2020)

4. Interstellar (2014)

5. Skyscraper (2018)
