What the fuck is so special about Napolean Dynamite? I watched it and couldn't stand it. My top would be the Back To The Future trilogy, Terminator/Terminator 2, and Alien/Aliens. Jurrasic Park was good, too bad they screwed the other two up, same with Alien III and Resurection.

More story, and less action, is always a big ++ in my book. ;)

Some of the films I saw recently (and not so recently) that were good enough to remember:

  • Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)

  • Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)

  • Aliens (all of them) (Ridley Scott)

  • The Sixth Sense (M. Night Shyamalan) and also everything else by Shyamalan (Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, haven't seen the latest one yet)

  • almost everything (that I've seen) by Luc Besson (Nikita, Leon, 5th element, Taxi etc.)

  • many films by Hitchcock (Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, etc.)

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind (Michael Gondry) (best film made in this century so far)

Da-Vinci Code 5/5?! You have to be kidding me. It wasn't nescessarily "bad", but I wouldn't consider it good by a long shot. Then again, the book wasn't great either.
Not too long ago, there was a vote here for "best movie of all time" and people picked "Lord of the Rings", which was definately sad.

As for my personal list of favorites, I suck at making those. Amelie, The Sixth Sense, Dogville, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Others would be on there, probably more I can't think of right now.

That's what I call a post I can't understand. Please elaborate. :)

I like them too. :)

Quote:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind

It's a great movie. Nice to see a new side of Jim Carrey.

It might be 4/5. Perhaps it helped that I haven't read the book.

Amelie

I turned it off after 15 minutes. ;D

Fair enough! It's probably not your type of movie if you give the Da Vinci Code 4/5. :P

Oh, forgot to mention "A Beautiful Mind", which I thought was a rather good movie too.

EDIT: The problem with classics is, there's so many of them!

I saw it (by chance) on TV about a year ago. On the TV schedule page they wrote it was a comedy. ::)

I forgot to mention The Dinner Guest, The Closet, The Day of the Beast, and The Idiots.

Most of my favourite films aren't even English speaking films. I need to start learning French, German and Spanish, so I can enjoy them without subtitles.
