favourite film?

[argonaut]

A lot of great movies already mentioned. I don't have a single favorite, but many. A few off my the top of my head:

Yojimbo, Rashomon (love all of Akira's films really)

Zatoichi (blind swordsman films)

Young Frankenstein (steen)

The Thing

Fistful of Dollars, Good/bad/Ugly

Strange Brew

A life Aquatic

Dr. Strangelove

Black Dynamite

Apocolypse now

Fletch .......sorry I got carried away

The 1990 Charlton Heston version of Treasure Island. I love the hell out of that movie... a bit odd that no one I've met has really heard of it in comparison

I also fell in love with the music for it by the Chieftans, very dramatic.

That'll be the day/stardust.
The long good friday.
Any of the Spike Milligan films.

Showing my age.

"Oh Brother Where Art Though?" Starring Robert Johnson. Is it really true no bullfrogs were harmed? The choreograpy on the KKK scene is bitchin', it looks ot me like an adaptation of a Shaker dance. Let's see, on that note "American History X" is cool too. Wish it had a happy ending...

"The Postman."

What is your favourite film ever? Mine has to be the original star wars film. [/i]

"The Blues Brothers"

[selloutrr]

the original star wars was amazing.
I'm still butt hurt about the new trilogy's use of CG animation. I understand bigger better fast more, being cutting edge, and all that jazz. had they just said F- it and used the old school techniques, Ships on strings, migets in trash cans, and cardboard space ships like they used in the originals to do the new movies they would have been 100,000,000,000,000,000 times more mind blowing.

Old sci fi...the originals...
War of the Worlds
Forbidden Planet
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Obscure sci fi
The Quiet Earth
Dead End Drive-In

Woodstock {Hendrix rules!}

And in honor of Tony Curtis
Some Like It Hot....I still laugh every time I see him in drag

Anything Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Weir, Scorcese

+2 for Shaun of the Dead.

Also love all the Mel Brooks stuff (e.g. Young Frankenstein, History of the World).

Monty Python's Holy Grail, too.

All excellent choices. All you Shaun fans have a new movie to look forward to....Paul {The Movie}. It filmed here in New Mexico last summer. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make friends with an alien. Both are super nice guys, by the way.

KING OF CALIFORNIA
CONFIDENCE
SPARTAN

I agree whole heartedly i was sorely disappointed with the new movies..

the original star wars was amazing.
