Hmm, that’s a hard one, with so many great films out there. But I’ll give it a shot:

The Matrix
The Exorcist
Die Hard With A Vengeance
Rocky I & II (I count them as 1)
Silence Of The Lambs

Other great films are Seven, The Shawshank Redemption, Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls, Don’t Be A Menace (a parody on film like Boyz ‘n The Hood and Menace II Society, it’s hilarious!), Gone In 60 Seconds (with Nicolas Cage, haven’t seen the original), and so on, and so on… Guess I’m just a film-freak!

Ian, please tell me why you like ‘Being John Malkovich’. I’ve seen it before in many lists of top 10 movies (I think even on some from the Therapy? members). I’ve watch the movie 2 times and I really can’t figure out why people like it. I like John Malkovich a lot btw.

ostrich - american history x and saving private ryan are not good movies?…judging from your picks, you apparently don’t like movies with a message. it’s funny how people hate these movies because one was made by steven spielberg and the other is about skinheads. yes, i believe that if any director was given the trust and as much money as steven speilberg gets to make a movie becuse the movie company trusts that director to make a hit movie and gives that director whatever he needs, they would make hit movies also just like spielberg. personally the only spielberg movie i like is saving private ryan. people who said it’s not a good movie are fooling themselves or have no respect for what happened to those in the military who died for their countries during that or any other war. what was shown in that movie was the closest i’ve seen to what actually happened during that war. if you want to trash a bad war movie trash thin red line. choosing movies like life is beautiful and american beauty as your best movies is a joke in itself… american beauty was overated..the only thing that kept me watching it was kevin spacey’s character..keep on watching those fairy tale movies. i prefer to watch more realistic movies instead of sci fi and make believe crap that would never happen. and a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but fight club isn’t that great of a movie .. it was ok but nothing people make it out to be. just the concept makes people say ‘oooooooooh it’s so cool’ .. which is a joke. so like you said in your comment, i’ll have to say that considering you’re a wanker, i’ll let that go

my picks in in no particular order

seven, the crow, south park movie, half baked, dead poet’s society, taxi driver, wedding singer, full metal jacket, slc punk, jay and silent bob strike back, chasing amy, toxic avenger 1, crumb, saving private ryan, american history x, texas chainsaw massacre 1, massacre at central high, shawshank redemption, etc…

innocentx is right… american history x was an amazing, thought provoking movie… as was saving private ryan…

does it what where a movie was made or who made it? or does it matter if the movie is good? sure there are some directors i follow (Neil LaBute, Tom Tykwer, etc.) but even they can make bad movies, and even bad directors can make good movie… why? because it’s the movie that’s important, not where it’s from or who made it…

and yes, movies, like music, are a personal opinion… and to say you don’t like american history x or saving private ryan is up to you… saying they are cheese fests on the other hand is factually incorrect (especially since you have ‘life is beautiful’ on your list’)…

i never said skinheads were nazis. where did you get that from? you can’t say that they’re not influenced by it though ..have you noticed the swasticas, etc… that are identified to nazis. trust me american history x is a realistic movie..by far. it is in your country also. you just don’t know about it. they’re a small percentage. you’d be surprised how many people who don’t fit in any group fall for this brainwashing because they have so much hate and have no sense of belonging. i suggest you read articles and see videos documentating on skinheads. american history x is influenced by those documentories. nowadays skinheads look like you and me. they don’t shave their heads or wear combat boots or red suspenders anymore. they’re not so easily singled out as they used to be

i have to say im not a fan of those hollywood romantic comedies. american hist. x i thought was good, thought provoking. my favorites are 2001 space odesy, empire stikes back(no, im not a sci fi geek, i just like those two) fear and loathing, gangster no 1, and series7 -the contenders.

Withnail & I
The Shining
Dogma
La Haine
Easy Rider

something about skinheads:
what we usually call skinheads are the nazi-skinheads with the swasticas celtic crosses, etc…
but originally skinheads were an anti-racist movement; they listened to the first ska and punk bands and they were politically oriented at the opposite side of the nazi-skin.
here where i live there are many skinheads that are not nazi-skin.
i also saw some band made of skinheads. trust me they’re all but not nazis.

you have it the other way around. i’ve known skinheads…they’re no longer skinheads now. when they reached a certain age they realized that they were being brainwashed. they smartened up. i also met hippie skin heads… they just look like skinheads because they ‘like the look’ and then claim not to be racists. it’ a joke.they’re just posers looking for attention like goths wearing goth clothes..real skinheads are known to kick the asses out of them. you’re confusing the skinheads you’re talking about with punks (the music scene), although there are many skinhead racist band around. the whole skinhead thing originated in the military. in the military they make you wear the same clothes , shave your heads. you’re all supposed to be and look the same as much as pssible. no one is higher than anyone else. everyone is equal. during the war with germany..or when it ended, racists got obssessed with hitler and felt he was right abut killing jews, etc… to skinheads, hitler is like their god. and the mein keimf is their bible. the turner diaries is like their new bible. this book was actually also found in tim mcveigh’s car. it talks about doing exactly what happeed in the oklahoma city bombing.just read. also look at http://www.rotten.com/news/ … that page is basically of news articles that are interesting .. non of the articles are boring at all. all articles are true

Dearest innoscent x,
lets talk about movies…
Saving private ryan i did like i loved the war scenes at the beginning the most realistic I have seen in a movie but I didn’t like the way Mr spielberg had to turn it into a hollywood blockbuster with the most ridiculous war film ending in the history of film, and as for american history x it was a nice concept that slid by, by talking about how obscene alot of peoples views are about other races sure it shocks but it doesnt deliver. everyone whos ever had an independant thought knows racism is wrong and an ignorant answer to hate but that doesnt make it a good film because it states the obvious. It was once again a cheesy film and insulting to any free thinker who watched it!!!!
American beuty I liked, I know many didnt but I did for its originality, script and its spiritual ideas(I promise you I’m no hippy) And fight club maybe your right but I saw it recently so it sticks in my mind.
Anyway after these points you continued to state that I was a wanker because of my opinions which whilst it fails to insult me as im sure was what was intended it goes to show you for the man you are a mindless and thoughtless individual who spends his time insulting other to make himself feel better about himself, I dont understand you nor want too, but I pity you.

by the way, here’s another reason for you to hate spielberg. he actually had the nerve to give a large portion of the money made for schindler’s list to the descendants of those mentioned in that movie. what a bad bad man.

what do people think of when someone mentions the word skinhead?…exactly. you believe what you want to believe. don’t read books…just go by what you know..you’ll go far. you’re confusing skinheads with retreatists in your definition of a skinhead. american history x consists of skinheads as we define them. saying that american history x has nothing to do with skinheads just voids everything you say.
