Shout outs for your favorite movies.

I just saw Witness again for the 3rd time in like a month. It's been on tv and I told a friend about it and he rented it so I watched it again.

This movie, I love it. The acting...the CHEMISTRY...the mood it sets...it's just a gorgeous film.

[darklinensuit]

Never saw Witness. I think I'm the only Pennsylvanian who didn't catch it.

A few movies I love, in random order:
Harold And Maude - I'd never believe it if I hadn't seen it, but old Ruth Gordon was sexy.
Fiddler On The Roof - I love the acting, cinematography, and songs. Plus my ancestors probably lived a less Hollywood version. :cool:
Paper Moon - Tatum & Madeleine are hilarious.
When Harry Met Sally - Love the dialogue.
The Others - Made me a Nicole fan. The kids are amazing. The cinematography is amazing.
Life Of Brian - Love the lines and songs. Plus my ancestors probably lived a less Hollywood version. :cool:
Ruthless People - Hilarious cast.
Crossing Delancey - For once a romantic comedy with a guy who acts like a guy.
The Return Of Martin Guerre - I can forgive the inconsistencies with the real story since the sets & wardrobes were meticulously designed, and the relationships, moral questions, and ending touch me.
The Muppet Movie - A giant Animal. A floating Gonzo.
Willie Wonka - I thought I was Charlie.
Arsenic And Old Lace - Smart & silly.
Anne Of The Thousand Days - I can forgive the many inaccuracies because Bujold kicks butt. I love when she says "I think NOT!" with those wide eyes.
Die Hard - Good villain, good hero. Takes me back to those surreal days when one could stomach Bruce Willis.
The Fugitive - Harrison Ford at his best.
Airplane - "He thinks he's Ethel Merman."
Animal House - "May I have 10,000 marbles, please?"
The Color Purple (minus the suck-O last scene) - Love Whoopi here. And the music.
Born Free - One of the only movies whose endings can still make me almost teary.
The Exorcist - Really it's just another Muppet Movie, but with different music. :)

Shout outs for your favorite movies.Well, over on the movie newsgroup, we're discussing our favorite movies adapted fairly closely from plays. So here's mine:

Les Parents Terrible
The Italian Straw Hat
The Beggar's Opera
Folly to Be Wise
Pandora's Box
The Entertainer

[David]

Some of mine:

A Star is BornWhich one? the relatively decent Janet Gaynor version, the overwrought but still compelling Judy Garland version, or the stinky, flabby, egomaniacal Barbra Streisand version?

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Judy Garland all the way! :nod:

[DownOnRodeo]

My personal favourite - <i>Contact</i>.

Alan Silvestri directing, Carl Sagan writing, Jodie Foster and other stellar actors - it's one of the great films.

<i>Back to the Future</i> is there as well. It's the irresistable <i>Harry Potter</i> of the silver screen - ingenious plotting based over a repeated formula (ie a school year or a time travel mission), mischievous adventure, and loads of laughs.

[Stephanie]

How the hell did I manage to forget The Big Lebowski????? :shocked:

Absolutely! That movie is frickin hilarious!!!! Anyone who has not seen it MUST SEE IT!

[Serrart]

-La vie et Rien D'autre - A beautiful compelling, striking movie by Tavernier with Philippe Noiret and Sabine Azema
-Umberto D - De Sica's masterpiece for me.
-The Remains OF The Day - My favourite actor and my favourite actress, who make together an amazing movie couple. :D
-Nelly et Mr. Arnaud - Last film by Claude Sautet acted by the incredible Michel Serrault and Emmanuelle Beart.

-The Son's Room - By Nanni Moretti, a director who influenced me a lot.

-The Elephant Man - Lynch when he's not hallucinating.

-The State of Things - by Wim Wenders... What can I say, I love movies about cinema, and this one has a powerful ending.
-The Conversation - I'm intrigued every time i see it.
- In The Mood For Love - A beautiful love story told with a grace and a passion quite rare today.
-The Silence Of The Lambs - Best thriller of the last twenty years for me, and there's Tony. :cool:
-Scenes from a Marriage - Gotta love Marianne, great lady.
-Short Cuts - Altman and a close to perfection cast... beautiful.
-Zéro de conduite/L'atalante - Jean Vigo is more modern every time I watch his movies.
- Citizen Kane - Not a very original choice, but It made me love cinema thoroughly when I watched it the first time.
-Adam's Rib/Pat and Mike - Hepburn-Tracy... need I say more?
-Crouching Tiger Hiden Dragon - A beautiful and elegant martial arts movie, a genre I'm a fan of.

Oh, man. I love that movie. Especially when Jeff Bridges is in the cab and freaks out on the cab driver playing The Eagles. :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas


I love it too but the book is so much better. They're going to be blasting his ashes out of a cannon next month in Aspen. That was his request.

Also, Boogie Nights is one of my favs. I don't know how I forgot that one.

[CreepingDeath]

I love it too but the book is so much better. They're going to be blasting his ashes out of a cannon next month in Aspen. That was his request.

Yes, the book is much better. I hesitated listing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for that reason. Same with LOTR.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Remains of the Day
Howard's End
The Breakfast Club
The Hours

Love them as well :thumbsup: I'm a big Emma Thompson fan. Wit should also be on my list. Her performance was incredibly moving.

[Serrart]

That one got such attention but it put me to sleep. I felt the pace was all wrong and the whole thing seemed generally expository. I didn't need it spelt out quite like that, even just conversational dialogue. I don't think the camera was used to its potential either, it didn't seem to tell me anything that wasn't already set up.

I'm partial to Moretti, but I understand how the movie can bee seen like you said. It's difficult to explain if you haven't watched his other movies, but his pace is always very personal and anticlimatic, and this time for the first time he went with tragedy, telling it by glances, minutes, phrases. His cinema for me is a world that envelops, full of patterns and returning characters. As an example, for his fans it was a great emotion to see him act again with Laura Morante the star of Bianca, considered by many his masterpiece (if you got the chance to watch it, then please let me know what you think). They have an incredible chemistry, and he feels freer to act with her.

[trackaghost]

My favourite movies change all the time. Off the top of my head...

Will no one list All About Eve? Sheesh. :rolleyes:

[gldstwmn]

Yes, the book is much better. I hesitated listing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for that reason. Same with LOTR.

I love the movie though. Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro are great in it. And they did such a good job capturing the time period with the pink shag carpets and the cars and the cheesiness of it all.

[trackaghost]

Will no one list All About Eve? Sheesh. :rolleyes:

I thought someone had. Maybe not. Great movie as is Sunset Blvd - both about the Hollywood industry.

I recently saw All About Eve on the big screen. It looked great.

[trackaghost]

I love Fear & Loathing. I'm more of a Gilliam fan than Thompson though, but I thought he definitely captured the spirit of his writing. :nod:

[amber]

big screen? Oh, man, I would kill. well, no, but the writing alone in that movie is the height of fifties clever. And that's totally excluding the magnificent performances of BD, GS, AB, and CH, Not to mention GM and MM.
I don't like Sunset Boulevard as much, but it's good, too. GS is a little more one note, to me. Still great, though. :woohoo:

[Serrart]

Hana-bi
Kikujiro

Another Kitano fan? He's fantastic, in my opinion, Zatoichi was beautiful too.

Romy

[Claudia]

I have been on a big classics kick lately, so excuse me if older movies is the only thing I seem to list:

- All About Eve - There, there Amber. ;)
- Arsenic And Old Lace
- Breakfast At Tiffany’s
- Bringing Up Baby
- Gone With The Wind
- It’s A Wonderful Life
- Oscar and Lucinda
- The Petrified Forest
- The Philadelphia Story
- Psycho
- Rear Window
- Rebecca
- Roman Holiday
- A Streetcar Named Desire
- Suspect
- Victor/ Victoria

[trackaghost]

Another Kitano fan? He's fantastic, in my opinion, Zatoichi was beautiful too.

Romy

Absolutely. I went through a phase of watching lots of Japanese movies and Kitano definitely came out tops with me.
I loved Zatoichi too. And have you seen Brother? It's such a superb gangster movie.

I love the fact he'll star in something like Battle Royale then turn around and make something as poignant as Kikujuro.

[wondergirl9847]

Looks like a bunch of us like a lot of the same movies. :thumbsup: Also, there are lots of movies I like, but aren't my faves.

Toy Story (1 and 2, but 1 is my ultimate fave)
Robin Hood: POT
Shawshank Redemption
Dirty Dancing
The Odd Couple
9 to 5
The Breakfast Club
A Christmas Story
Arsenic and Old Lace
A Streetcar Named Desire
Paper Moon
Back to the Future
Son-In-Law (shut up, it's still funny. "Hey, uh, Crotch.." "Crawl!" BWAH! I'm gonna miss Lane Smith. :( )

[Serrart]

Brother is great, he's able to reinvent genres, IMO. Also, his eclectism is really remarkable: he's not gifted only as a director or as an actor but also as a painter, his paintings in Hana-Bi were beautiful.

Romy

[darklinensuit]

Absolutely! That movie is frickin hilarious!!!! Anyone who has not seen it MUST SEE IT!

Okay, I'll add it to my list.

- Jake

[darklinensuit]

-The Remains OF The Day - My favourite actor and my favourite actress, who make together an amazing movie couple. :D
thoroughly when I watched it the first time.

Romy

I just saw her in that episode of Cheers where she plays the kiddie entertainer who is obsessed with Frasier. She is great, and can really sing.


-Adam's Rib/Pat and Mike - Hepburn-Tracy... need I say more?


Romy

I almost listed Pat & Mike, which I have on video. I bought it originally because Alice Marble has a cameo, and I loved her book.

- Jake

[gldstwmn]

I love Fear & Loathing. I'm more of a Gilliam fan than Thompson though, but I thought he definitely captured the spirit of his writing. :nod:

Dr. Thompson holds a very special place in my heart.

[gldstwmn]

Paper Moon


I forgot about this one. That and The Last Picture Show are Bogdonavich's masterpeices. Plus I love the fact they are shot in black & white.

[darklinensuit]

- Rebecca

:nod: I almost listed this one.

BTW, I thought we were supposed to explain our picks? That would be helpful to those of us who don't know/haven't seen all these movies, if folks wouldn't mind the extra work.

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

My all time favorite movie has to be Grease, followed by That was then, This is now. I also loved the old Thin Man movies, and cant wait to rewatch them when they are finally released next month on dvd.

- Jake

Oh, I love 'Rebecca'. Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers is haunting.

Mm... I didn't want to be bother explaining the movies, but since you say so, I now have an excuse -

- All About Eve - The dialogues, the actors, the carachters, the story. Everything is great in it.
- Arsenic And Old Lace - You've got to love those two aunts. :D
- Breakfast At Tiffany’s - Holly Golightly is probably my favourite movie carachter.
- Bringing Up Baby
- Gone With The Wind - I've only seen it once... And I don't think I'd need to watch it again (althoug I'm sure I will). Quite unforgetable. From the carachters to the music.
- It’s A Wonderful Life - Such a sweet, light-hearted movie.
- Oscar and Lucinda - Well, I must admit that I'd watch anything that had Ralph Fiennes in it, but I really like this movie, especially the first half of it.
- The Petrified Forest - Great performances by Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis and Leslie Howard... But my favourite carachter has to be Gabrielle's slightly crazy grandfather (Charley Grapewin). I'm not sure why, but I tend to always like the supporting carachters the most.
- The Philadelphia Story - Three of my great actors together (James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant) plus a funny little sister and a cynical photographer. Couldn't be better!
- Psycho
- Rear Window - One of my favourite Hitchcock movies.
- Rebecca
- Roman Holiday - Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck are charming. A sweet story.
- A Streetcar Named Desire - Great performances.
- Victor/ Victoria - Robert Preston and Leslie Ann Warren are extremely funny.

[diamondsnake]

Is that Michelle Pfeiffer?

- Jake
Yup (and she just so happens to be my favorite actress)

I liked Michelle, too, but I preferred Lorna's voice & curves at the time.

I still remember paying to see her in Grease II. :distress:

You paid for that one? :eek: Oh man, it was terrible -- the first time I saw it, I was in 6th grade and they played it on Encore all of the time. Of course, my love for musicals prevailed and I watched it 87 times after that -- and could still probably sing the songs :shocked:

Funny enough, the (failed)screenwriter for that movie (as well as Airplane II and Who's That Girl), Ken Finkleman, actually went on to write/direct/star in something good -- The Newsroom. They play it on PBS -- I own the series on DVD and highly reccomend it. Very sharp, witty satire.

I went to find this film and it came up with a bondage film with the synposis: "sequences of two lovely ladies wearing spandex slowly being tied and gagged"

Not the Bianca you were referring to?

Yes, yes , that's it! ;) ... No not really but it would be a quite peculiar novelty for him. Anyway, here there are some concise informations on his movies: http://www.harvardfilmarchive.org/calendars/01sepoct/nannimoretti.html

I did like Beetlejuice (I know I'm spelling it wrong) but I'm not sure I've seen any others.

I saw two good documentaries last week. The first was Jesus Camp, about a bible camp for Evangelical children and what goes on. It wasn't biased, surprisingly. It was pretty scary what they do to these kids, and how into it some of the kids are. It's great because it has a cameo by the gay call boy loving, meth using, former Evangelical leader Ted Haggard. It'll blow you away...watch it!

The other documentary was A League of Ordinary Gentlemen, which was made about the resurgence of professional bowling. It's very entertaining, and has enough curly mullets to keep you satisfied all year. :laugh: Even non bowling fanatics will get into it!

I love "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "Barefoot in the Park." Some of the best Redford movies around:)

I also love "A Knight's Tale."

Coma.

Genevieve Bujold, Michael Douglas, Rip Torn, Richard Widmark. Screenplay and directed by Michael Chrichton. Just saying.

I remember that movie... from the '70s? I think it was pretty creepy.

I hardly ever go to movies... but I was on a long flight last week and got caught up on some recent films...

"The Queen"
"The Last King of Scotland"
"Little Miss Sunshine"
"Flyboys"

I recommend all of them.

My personal favourite - <i>Contact</i>.

Alan Silvestri directing, Carl Sagan writing, Jodie Foster and other stellar actors - it's one of the great films.



Actually it was Robert Zemeckis directing and aside from the miscasting of Matt McConaughey I agree with all the above.The fact that Foster did not recieve an Oscar nod for this one and Helen Hunt actually won that year gives me heart burn.

"All About Eve" -- brilliant in every way.

It is and can anyone believe that Demi Moore wanted to remake it and play Margo Channing?! chilling....

I just saw Barefoot in the Park for the first time, I bought it cheap while on a big Jane Fonda kick...I really liked it :nod:
