Favorite Movie

[e.Blackstar]

Ha ha! The title is rather self-explanatory...


My absolute favorite movie of all time, is...THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Best gosh darn movie on the planet. Always. :p Good stuff...



Coming in close are:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
LotR, duh, especially RotK
Chocolat...not really my kind of movie, but entertaining nonetheless
Troy
Pirates of the Caribbean for pure foof value
Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy
Galaxy Quest
Ocean's 11 and 12
Mask of Zorro

Am I really supposed to choose?


hmm . . .

The In-Laws with Peter Falk.

"Serpantine! Serpantine!"

(staring at a flag depicting the general with a naked lady on his arm)
"Is that Mrs. General?"
"No, this is a woman from the village. This is prostitute. . .if not for the church this flag would be flying over the UN right now, but no! They stand in the way! They stand in the way!"

"The flies are protected under the Guacamoli act of 1933. There is a lot of red tape in the bush."

[Talierin]

Hmm.... I can't really pick a absolute favorite, so here's a list:

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - A super-awesome parody of B movies, watch it if you get the chance! - "Even as a child I was hated by skeletons!"
The Princess Bride - classic, can't go wrong - "Inconcievable!"
Shaun of the Dead - the british romzomcom! Very funny, but a lot of blood, gore, zombies, swear words, and british humour, fyi - "Ed! Stop that!"
The Fifth Element - I know everyone else hates this film, but I think it's awesome - "No sir, I am a meat popsicle!" "Cor... cor... cor... CORBEN!"
Dead Poets Society - any movie that uses Latin phrases has my heart - "YAAAWLP!!!"
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - I laughed myself silly! Haven't had that much fun at a movie in awhile - "You're really weird! :D"
The Incredibles - Art deco, 40s style, superheroes, need I say more?
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - beautiful movie, and it's set in the 40s! Love!
Ocean's 11 and 12 - gotta love heist movies!
Down With Love - Killer awesome 60s style romance! "Catcher Block, Catcher Block, Catcher Block"
Father Goose - My favorite Cary Grant movie, about a guy forced to look out for enemy planes on this pacific island in WWII, and what happens when a marooned governess and her 7 charges arrive on the island - "Goody Two Shoes and the Filthy Beast?!"
Galaxy Quest - ahhh, star trek parody, I love thee! - "Whoever wrote this episode should be shot!"
Time Bandits - Monty Python weirdness, whoohoo! - "It's Evil! Don't touch it!!!" *BOOM*
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - the classic - "That's the most foul, cruel, vicious rodent you ever set your eyes on!"
How to Be: Emo - this awesome 20 min long little independant film I found online - "Awww, but Dad!"
Waterworld - yes I like this bomb
Persuasion - my token Jane Austen flick

Blackstar, I saw this thread, and before I even opened it thought, "Well, Princess Bride of course!" That has been my favorite movie for such a long time, I can't even remember!

Also:
Everafter
Star Wars (all of them)
The new Willy Wonka -- I loved it too! :D
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the Carribean

That's all I can think of for now.

[Hammersmith]

The Fifth Element - I know everyone else hates this film, but I think it's awesome - "No sir, I am a meat popsicle!" "Cor... cor... cor... CORBEN!"
People hate it? No! Surely not?! Does anybody else want to negotiate? :D

How to Be: Emo - this awesome 20 min long little independant film I found online - "Awww, but Dad!"
Do you have a url for it?

[AraCelebEarwen]

Not me! :D Normally I'll have a quote or two but I haven't watched it for a while now. :o Good movie that!!

My huge and wandering list can not be thought up fully as of yet, so here is an idea of what it looks like, not necessarily in any order mind you. ;)

Princes Bride "YOU KILLED MY FATHER! PREPARE TO DIE!" :D
Midsummers Nights Dream (ah, Shakespeare *sight*)
LOTR (duh =^.^=)
You've Got Mail (very cute!)
Pirates of the Caribbean "Couldn't resist."
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The Tree Musketeers (most if not all versions)
CutThroat Island *evil grin*
The Time Machine
Hildalgo
Dinotopia
Star Wars
The Court Jester
Kate & Leopold *melting sigh*
Ever After *again, sigh*
Sabrina (Paris in the spring, if only)
The Count of Monte Cristo
A Knight's Tale "WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!!!"
The Mack of Zorro
Much ado about Nothing :D

[HLGStrider]

I liked the Fifth Element, but it made me dizzy. . .I didn't like the DJ dude with the leopard skin thing going on or the costumes, but everything else was great. And weird. . .


I once had a co-worker who I think was trying to convert me to a bizarre Bruce Willis cult. He loaned me that one and 12 Monkeys .. . I don't know what he was up to.

Lol, nearly everyone here when I say I like it just groan, ah well... And the crazy DJ guy is probably the best part of the whole movie... I love it when he screams like a girl when they blow up the balcony :D

Ara - Dinotopia? *cough gags hacks and dies* Another favorite book, ruined by the movie industry *falls over*

Ooh, forgot Ever After and Sabrina and the Mask of Zorro (although the Gay Blade could quite possibly just barely top it for me)... good stuff

Ohhhhh, and the Joan of Arc tv ministries with Leelee Sobeiski - makes me cry
