Favourite films?
What are your favourite films?

I have many and can't list them all...

- Shaun of the Dead
- Dirty Dancing
- Moulin Rouge
- Dodgeball
- Sound of Music
- Band of Brothers
-A few Batman films (Tongue)
-Hot Fuzz (not as good as I thought it would be)
- POTC trilogy


and I'm sure I can think of more later Smile

oh
- The Exorcist- Not a favourite film, I just thought I'd say something about it. That really wasn't scary, I just found it weird.
- 'Saw 1, 2, 3 & 4 ' and The Texas chainsaw massacre. WHO would think of these films??! there are some very strange people in this world. Did anyone actually like them? I don't know why I watched them, I was just curious I guess Confused but I wish that I hadn't now lol

Blazing Saddles was one of the first movies I watched that I was explicitly told I couldn't watch that I went against my mom and watched. I think I was 9 when I watched it.

I agree on the Matrix. There were some good elements in the 2nd and 3rd, but overall, they just didn't work.

Spy Game - I love that movie. I can't believe I forgot it.

District 9 - It's a pretty decent flick. There are a number of things wrong with it, but it's interesting. I think most of the comments I've heard about racism are bull. I think the racist bent of the whole thing is meant in parody. It feels a bit like they smashed a couple of different films together from completely disparate genres. I loved that it's so not Hollywood. It also helps that it's one of only two films I've seen in a theatre in a few years. In some ways it actually reminded me of Blazing Saddles.

Always love your country, but never trust your government.

RE: Favourite films?
Whilst there are a lot of good films out there, it has to be special to make me want to watch it again. There are only a handful of films that I have on my shelves.

Pulp Fiction
Seven
The Usual Suspects (my all time favourite)
Shawshank Redemption
Leon
Ronin
The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker)
The Hunt for Red October

Not many I know but I believe they are quality movies.
