Wall of Mouths

Hmm. we’ve had a similar topic before, but I’ve seen some more movies since then, so here’s my list:

- The Godfather trilogy: I recently bought the DVD Boxset, and I love all three of them. Coppola’s daughter is a really bad actress in part III, but Pacino’s and Garcia’s performace compensate this. It’s without a single doubt the best movie trilogy ever, imho of course.

- Rocky I & II: Two other classics. The successors weren’t nearly as good as the first two Rocky movies, although IV is entertaining due to it’s stupidity and shameless propagandic purpose.

- The Exorcist: The only horror movie that ever scared me. By far the best and most scary horror movie ever made.

- The Die Hard trilogy: Another good trilogy. Bruce Willis as the anti-hero works perfectly. I guess Die Hard With A Vengeance is the best one, mainly due to the great performance of Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis as a duo, and Jeremy Irons as the bad guy.

- The Matrix: Probably my fav movie. Good story, good actors, good special effects, it has it all!

For a good laugh, I like Austin Powers, Ace Ventura, Wayne’s World, stuff like that.

Firstly, a word for Die Hard Trilogy and all it’s glory. Classics indeed.

Other than that; Bill and Ted (either), Stand By Me, The Wedding Singer, Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, Deuce Bigalow, The Goonies, Man on the Moon, Rat Race, Shawshank Redemption, Grease, Grease 2(!)

Also anything involving Keifer Sutherland, even that shit Reece Witherspoon film that was on the other night, heh heh.

Anything starring either Edward Norton or John Cusack or Dustin Hoffman or Robin Williams.

any film starring Robin Williams? He’s been in some great films but he’s also been in some terrible ones, Bicentennial Man springs to mind. But I definitely agree about Edward Norton, he’s brilliant!

Well, I meant Robin Williams is one of my favourite actors ever. Not that I actually loved every movie he’s done. It’s strange how he can still look very sad even when he’s playing a comic role. I guess that’s why I’ve always found him so interesting.

Gooooood Mooorrrniiing Vietnaaaaaaaaam!

sorry, had to do that. :D
loved that movie, like robin williams too but i always forget to mention it. and it’s true, he looks sad even when he’s supposed to make you laugh.
and edward norton made it worth to watch ‘fight club’ over and over again…

ah someone else who’s seen La Haine!!! No one I know except my brother has seen it! Think I may just sit my friends down and make them watch it!

La Haine is class. Sticking with the subtitled foreign films, i loved City of God as well.

As for best films, Blow, This Is England, American History X, Full Metal Jacket and the Lord of The Rings films are among my favourites.

Withnail and I
Fargo
Dragnet

Been on a bit of a French movie roll since watching Mesrine - Public Enemy Nr 1 ( Part 1 & 2 ) so over the weekend I dug out one of my old favourites Baise-Moi. What a great movie.

During the week the other half rented The Men Who Stare At Goats , very good too imo.
