I tend to prefer the especially gory and twisted films in the horror genre (Dawn of the Dead, Saw), well done animation (Aladdin, The Incredibles), and comedies (Happy Gilmore, As Good as it Gets).

What do you guys like best? List examples of your favorite flicks!

Boondock Saints
Serenity
The Matrix
The Princess Bride
Butterfly Effect
Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Ringu (The American version is meh in comparison)
Shichinin no Samurai
Howl's Moving Castle (though the book is better)
Romeo + Juliet

I like Action/Adventure movies, along with the good Animation ones.


Action/Adventure Movies: Harry Potter, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, The Matrix, Batman Begins, Star Wars, Forrest Gump, V for Vendetta, X-Men

Animation: Most Anime, Alot of those Disney movies, and other various ones... Iuno. My brain's turned off for summer.

My taste in movies is wide and diverse...the only thing I really require from a movie for it to be one of my favorites is that it be very very original, and/or have a unique message or moral to it.

On that note, some of my favorites:
Fight Club
Sin City
Boondock Saints
Pan's Labyrinth
Donnie Darko
Howl's Moving Castle
The Last Samurai
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
The Wizard of Oz

I'm pretty easy to please, as far as movies are concerned, as long as the concept is interesting and well-developed, or else completely off-the-wall and so blatantly horrible I can pretend I'm on MST3K.

Some of my favorites:

The Princess Bride (Anyone who doesn't like this movie clearly has no taste.)
The Last Unicorn (I took it to pre-school for movie day, and got sent home when one of the characters swore.)
Army of Darkness (It's Bruce Campbell. And his chin. It's so full of hilarious one-liners, what's not to like?)
The Hunger (Strange movie about vampirism as metaphor and lifestyle)
The SAW trilogy (Although I can't make myself watch them again, having seen them! They did actually change my outlook on certain things, though, like promising myself I'd find one beautiful thing in each day, so it wouldn't be taken for granted.)
Jane Eyre (Classic, gorgeous, and bittersweet.)
Kung-Fu Hustle (Action and hilarity, with all the classic chop socky cliches thrown in.)
Twin Dragons (The first Jet-Li movie I ever saw, and still my favorite.)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Phenomenally gorgeous, particularly if subtitled. I can't say enough good things about it.)
Serenity (My introduction, surprisingly, to Firefly, and all the things I've come to expect from an action/sci-fi flick.)
Stargate (I always wanted to be an Egyptologist!)
The City of Lost Children (Dark, darkly humorous, and endlessly successful at keeping you in the dark until the climax.)
Six-String Samurai (A funny, pseudo-allegorical trip through a post-apocalyptic USA under siege by the Russians and short of rock-and-roll.)
Princess Mononoke (Beautiful, complex, and high on my list of movies to watch again.)
Vampire Hunter D (My all-time favorite anime film. The books are fantastic, by the way! I can't wait to get all of them!)

I like a very wide range of movies... just about any kind of movie really, with a few exceptions (like I'm not really into mob movies... I thought The Godfather was boring. Also, not into porn really as there's never an actual plot).

Some of my favorites include:

The Star Wars saga (all 6 movies, yes, inlcuding Jar Jar Binks!)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Serenity
the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead
28 Days Later and 28 Weeks later
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake and prequal.
Beaches
Fried Green Tomatos
The Lion King
Enemy Mine
The Last Unicorn
Princess Bride
The Spiderman trilogy
The Pirates of the Caribean trilogy
Rudy
Remember the Titans
Titanic
The 5th Element
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill vol 1 & 2
Bambi
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
French Kiss
City of Angels
The Rock
Independance Day
Office Space
Pleasantville
Hot Fuzz
Casablanca
Toy Story
10 Things I Hate About You
Children of Men
Sin City
Fight Club
My Girl
Bend It Like Beckham
My Dog Skip
ALL the Alien movies including the Alien vs Predetor one

and honestly, I'm just going to stop naming movies I really like cause this post will get very, very long!

Hot shots one and two, Starship Troopers. It's so bad, it's good!

Sorry, wanted to see what it was like to be Noola. Not to my taste.

Also, Bladerunner. Not MASSIVELY absorbing, but it leaves me thinking every time I see it. MOre human than human, but.. they were created by humans.. none of whom really act human anymore, but then what if they designate what human behaviour really is, or were the replicants created in the mould, if flawed, of man, and.. ugh, it goes on. The directors cut, that is. Not the original copy. Makes me think of Shadowrun, too. And William Gibson.

Keeping Mum. Who doesn't love psychotic old british ladies?

I didn't watch (yet) a relatively big amount of classics (The Princess Bride, Dr Stranglove and Donnie Darko spring to mind), which I regret. I don't have a favourite genre, each has its good and bad films, so I watch them all, except romantic comedies (can't stand them). My favourite? Such a hard question to answer. Probably Serenity, being an extension to Firefly. Firefly, Firefly, Firefly!
I also like when my movies have humorous accents in them, but it's by no need obligatory. Also, I gladly accept over-the-top stuff in them, but I can't handle "so bad they're good" films. I didn't like Starship Troopers and the 5th Element, for example.

I didn't like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon either.

Oh, I also like anime, though my knowledge of it is probably a fraction of Shiri's and similiar anime thread monsters. Watching Ergo Proxy and (finally) Bleach now. I also use the word "also" often in this post, for some reason.

30 years later, Star Wars (ep. IV) is still my favorite.

How do none of you have A Clockwork Orange yet? Pssffftthh.


Edit: And I guess I'll throw up a few aside from that...

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Dark City
Sin City
Donnie Darko
The Nightmare Before Christmas

I have this problem where I like basically every movie I watch, however here are a list of the ones I could watch over and over and never get sick of (in the order I remember them):

The Princess Bride
The Labyrinth
Weekend at Bernie's (both 1 and 2)
Moulin Rouge
Phantom of the Opera
Lord of the Rings
Harry Potters
Pirates of the Caribbeans
Garden State
Harrold and Kumar go to White Castle
The Little Mermaid
Chronicles of Narnia
Gladiator
Braveheart
Donnie Darko
Singin' in the Rain
My Neighbor Totoro
Airplane!
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Seven
Clueless
Pride and Prejudice ( the LOOONG one)

I should just stop myself now, this list will go on forever
I tend to usually like really epic movies/war movies or comedies the most.

It is scary to see so many Donnie Darko. I thought no-one ever saw that film, although I loved it.

Alright, some more:

The Prestige - Really cool atmosphere.
Babel (and some other movies written by Guillermo Arriaga) - Well, they are educative?
The Big Lebowski - The love of a man for his carpet?

Oh, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Teehee.

If I'd tried to list all of the movies I love, I'd still be typing now.

Those are both hilarious, Yrael.

Withnail & I is the best film ever, no contest. So many fantastic lines, from "don't threaten me with a dead fish", to the timeless "I mean to have you, even if it must be burglary!"

Also, Batman Begins, American Psycho, Fight Club, Akira, Se7en, the original Star Wars trilogy, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, A Clockwork Orange, Warrior, 28 Days Later, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Being John Malkovich.

Oh! I forgot that one! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is awesome. I also love 40 First Dates.

The Transformers The Movie.

And many others including, from the top of my head:

Donnie Darko, Highlander, Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, Equilibrium, Twelve Monkeys, Dogma, Frequency, The Fifth Element, The Crow...

Out of the top of my head: What Dreams May Come, Seven, Magnolia, Breakfast of Champions, Darkman, Amores Perros, Gattaca, Ghost in the Shell, Bramstocker Dracula, V for Vendetta, Immortel Ad Vitam, The Gathering.

Marry me. And whoever said they liked the Harry Potter movies, you can die.
