Wow, I'm going to have to think about this one.

I would have trouble making a list of my favorite movies this year let alone of all time.

I usually break my lists up into genres. I just have a hard time putting a movie like The Godfather up against a comedy like Young Frankenstein. It's just impossible.

I will get back to you on this.

Sure they became somewhat formulaic after #2, but the addition of the Sybian scenes in later episodes more than makes up for it.

Damn, my first run through my head I came up with 48 movies. :(

I guess I'm going to have to narrow that down.

I love reading everybody else's lists. It's cool to see what movies everybody likes.

This list has nothing to do with the quality as much of the movie but which movies I can just toss one and watch when not in the mood for any movie and enjoy. Many of these movies I've seen half a dozen times or more.

No particular order

1) Vanilla Sky
2) Matchstick Men
3) Happy Gilmore
4) Grandma's Boy
5) Terminator 2
6) Donnie Darko
7) Pulp Fiction
8) Die Hard
9) Star Wars movies (all)
10) Alien (all)
11) Zoolander
12) Dawn of the Dead (2004)
13) 28 Days Later (not 28 Days)
14) Frailty
15) Kill Bill (was intended to be one movie)
16) Batman Begins
17) X-2
18) 40 Year Old Virgin
19) Superbad
20) Silence of the Lambs
21) Boondock Saints
22) Wes Craven's New Nightmare
23) The Mist (seen it once...will many, many more times)
24) The Shining
25) Back To the Future


I like feverish's list best, so far. I love most of those movies but many of them I will only watch once every couple years so it's still amazing everytime I watch it...like Gladiator and Braveheart.

I set the number to 25 because I thought other folks might have trouble coming up with 25 or might not participate in the thread because of the bar that was set. How wrong I was :lol: Should we keep the number as is, or should we increase the quota to , let's say... 50?

Also, about 90% of the movies up there I watch on a regular basis (well, my favorite parts of the movies anyway). For example: I've watched the chase scene as well as the steel mill scene everyday from T2 for about a month now. :D

I think you've made a few mistakes in your list, hombre. Whats the worst arnie movie ever made doing in there?
Don't try and argue with me. IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes both agree.

Here's my list. Thank god it's not in any particular order because then I'd be here for eternity. I've got some cool movies that I didn't see on other lists. Maybe people will be like, "Oh yeah I love that movie, I want to see that again." I've done that a few times while reading your lists.

Donnie Brasco was an awesome movie!

It's almost inconceivable when you think about it. A mole inside of two of the largest families in New York FOR HALF A DECADE, not only surviving, but managing to make a profit off of his experience.

Still Servant
01-10-2008, 07:48 AM
Yeah, Brasco doesn't get enough attention for being a great film.

I feel so bad for Pacino in that movie. One of his better roles.

Johnny Deep is also great in that movie. So is Ann Heche and Michael Madsen.

Oh yeah, I'm adding 12 Monkeys to my list. That movie just kicks ass.

I have a t-shirt that says "fagetaboutit."

Also, Donnie Brasco is one of Paul Giamatti's first roles. It's kind of cool. He went to Choate Rosemary Hall where my mom works (JFK is also an alum) and I guess his family is a family friend of ours.

The closest I'll ever get to knowing somebody cool.

I'm loving these lists :D

Jean
10-29-2008, 02:27 AM
Well, I had to make two lists: one of movies made originally in English, and the other for what you would call "foreign" movies. I didn't include any Russian movies at all, although they are my very favorite, and I could easily have made a top 100 - but I understand that nobody has no access to them anyway, so it would be no use.

List One is in chronological order (my unquestionable top three would be It's a Wonderful Life, 12 Angry Men (the original), and Casablanca). Of course it is subject to change; that's what things are like as of today:

1. San Francisco (1936, Woody Van Dyke)
2. One Hundred Men and a Girl (1937, Henry Koster)
3. Mr.Smith Goes to Washington (1939, Frank Capra)
4. Rebecca (1940, Alfred Hitchcock)
5. Citizen Kane (1941, Orson Welles)
6. Casablanca (1942, Michael Curtiz)
7. Arsenic and Old Lace (1944, Frank Capra)
8. Spellbound (1945, Alfred Hitchcock)
9. It's a Wonderful Life (1946, Frank Capra)
10. Harvey (1950, Henry Koster)
11. Singin’ in the Rain (1952, Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly)
12. Roman Holiday (1953, William Wyler)
13. Rear Window (1954, Alfred Hitchcock)
14. The Trouble With Harry (1955, Alfred Hitchcock)
15. Twelve Angry Men (1957, Sidney Lumet)
16. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957, David Lean)
17. Some Like It Hot (1959, Billy Wilder)
18. West-Side Story (1961, Jerome Robbins & Robert Wise)
19. To Kill a Mockinbird (1962, Robert Mulligan)
20. Lawrence of Arabia (1962, David Lean)
21. The Servant (1963, Joseph Losey)
22. Mary Poppins (1964, Robert Stevenson)
23. My Fair Lady (1964, George Cukor)
24. Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11 minutes (1965, Ken Annakin)
25. The Sound of Music (1965, Robert Wise)
26. Who is Afraid of Virginia Wolf (1966, Mike Nichols)
27. The Lion in Winter (1968, Anthony Harvey)
28. Oliver! (1968, Carol Reed)
29. Play It Again, Sam (1972, Herbert Ross)
30. The Man Who Would Be King (1975, John Huston)
31. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones)
32. Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979, Terry Jones)
33. The Stunt Man (1980, Richard Rush)
34. Educating Rita (1983, Lewis Gilbert)
35. Yentl (1983, Barbra Streisand)
36. Dead Poets Society (1989, Peter Weir)
37. When Harry Met Sally (1989, Rob Reiner)
38. King Ralph (1991, David S. Ward)
39. Addams Family (1991, 1993 Barry Sonnenfeld)
40. Groundhog Day (1993, Harold Ramis)
41. Forrest Gump (1994, Robert Zemeckis)
42. IQ (1994, Fred Schepisi)
43. Major Paine (1995, Nick Castle)
44. Sahara (1995, Brian Trenchard-Smith)
45. Braveheart (1995, Mel Gibson)
46. Wag the Dog (1997, Barry Levinson)
47. As Good As It Gets (1997, James L. Brooks)
48. The Sixth Sense (1999, M. Night Shyamalan)
49. O Brother, Where Art Thou (2000, Joel Coen)
50. Apocalypto (2006, Mel Gibson)

The Discreet Charm is a classic, and I am sure you will love it; Notre Histoire is very weird, and I am not so sure... but it is worth a try anyway, there's a VERY big chance you might love it, too.

Note : I decided to cut the number in half for two reasons

1. 25 is a less daunting number and will perhaps encourage members to post their lists

2. I wanted people to really think about their list and force them to include their absolute BEST

I'm also inviting those that have already posted their lists to post one again without looking at the their previous post! When done, go back and compare the two lists, see how your tastes have varied/changed over the years. There are lots of new members here, so I expect to see more lists :)

Here is my revised list , in alphabetical order:

12 Angry Men
Brazil
Casablanca
Chinatown

Dark Knight

I love it.
I, too, found it when I was probably in high school.
I love Jimmy Stewart and am a big Jack Lemmon fan, so when I saw it was coming on tv - I figured what the heck, right?
Like some kind of nutcase, I'd not really known much about Kim Novak.
:rolleyes:
I know, I know - she's just so amazing, especially here. So aloof, and classy and just wonderful.
I watch it every chance I get. Not so long ago, it was on cable and I was in heaven for a month... caught it probably 10 times!

3 - godfather 1 & 2
4 - goodfellas
5 - the dark knight
6 - Lord of the Rings
7 - eurotrip
8 - the sting

12 - Kill Bill
13 - pulp fiction
14 - empire strikes back
15 - shawshank redemption
16 - halloween
17 - the ring
18 - aliens
19 - silence of the lambs
20 - the dark crystal
21 - The Neverending Story
22 - Die Hard
23 - Superman - The Man of Steel
24 - Unforgiven
25 - Seven Samurai
26 - Bad News Bears
27 - Superman 2
28 - batman begins
29 - Spiderman
30 - iron man
31 - bad boys (penn, not smith)
32 - manhunter
33 - nightmare on elm street
34 - 300
35 - Airplane
36 - Amadeus
37 - crouching tiger, hidden dragon
38 - E.T.
39 - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
40 - Fight Club
41 - The Fugitive
42 - Glengarry Glen Ross
43 - Groundhog Day
44 - Memento
45 - Midnight Run
46 - The Natural
47 - Old School
48 - Rocky
49 - Fallen
50 - Frailty
51 - Seven
52 - The Shining
53 - Superbad
54 - Superman Returns
55 - There's Something about Mary

I stopped myself at 55, since it's already more then double what I should have put down. I should wait a few days and force myself to just pick 25 "essentials" and see what I come up with.

Definitely will be adding some new movies to my Netflix queue today, that's for sure!

Thanks all for giving me some fresh ideas! :grouphug:

( and I'm assuming that's the original Godzilla, right? - I love that movie... such cheesy goodness )

Of course. Maybe I should have said Gojira to make sure everyone knew which one I meant.

Last year (or maybe the year before) my brother gave me a box set of Gojira films for Christmas. Not all gems like the first, but still a sweet set.

so few people even know preston sturges' films, let alone the massive impact he had on so much modern comedy (in particular almost any episode of the simpsons written by john swartzwelder, and he's written more than anyone).Thanks. One of my good friends was a "non-traditional student" when I met him during college, and already a great classic film buff. He set out deliberately to educate me, for which I'm very grateful. (Of course, I was already a Theatre/Literature major, so my knowledge of fiction can't be attributed entirely to that.)
I'd certainly agree that Sullivan's Travels is a fine film, I'm just slightly dubious about its moral. As you'll see if I can ever get a list down to just 25, I like dark films. I believe in serious art. But, hey, all such ethical questions are pretty complex, indeed all ethical questions are; perhaps I really am just too obsessive. :orely:
