FYI... Just saw District 9... I give it a C-. More like Blair Witch project.

I just saw D-9 today. (The last cinema movie I saw was IMAX Space Station 3D in 2003, so I haven't been since then!) Enjoyed it very much - give it an A! Very different from the usual American alien invasion movies. A few funny scenes in the first half. The baby alien was seriously cute! (And I don't find human babies cute.)

I really liked "moon". It isn't out in my country yet but I had the chance to watch it in London.

I have lots of movies I'm fond of, but if I really had to chose a few of them:

Shawshank Redemption
Forrest Gump
Kon Satoshi movies (Millenium Actress, Perfect Blue, etc)

I'm also a sucker for old Submarine movies, like Destination Tokyo, Run Silent, Run Deep, We Dive At Dawn, etc.

I've never seen Amelie, though one of my friends loves the movie and she calls herself Emelie Poulain now, so it probably impacted her quite a bit.

My favorite movies (in no real order) are American Beauty, Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, and Harold and Maude.

I've been watching a lot of movies lately. Most of them have been ones I hadn't seen before, but I had really wanted to, like Watchmen, 300, and The Dark Knight. I've got to say I've missed a lot.

My Current Top 10 (In no particular order):
Apollo 13
I, Robot
Watchmen
The Dark Knight
Saw films
Star Wars films
Independence Day
300
Die Hard films

Do I have to actually say my #1? LOL

Blade Runner

Where do I begin with what makes this movie so awesome?

Slave labor that were actually better than the masters that profited off of them.
Beings that were sent away, never welcome anywhere, especially not at home by those who made them and used them.
The condemnation of the coporate world. What kind of profiteering slime could come up with the slogan "we make them more human than human, that's our claim to fame."
The questions about what are we really? If your memory is a lie, then what are you? What is your life?
The character of Roy Batty. "I've seen things you people couldn't imagine. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Even some comedy relief..."Let me tell you about my mother" right before he blows the interrogator away :lol: Or later on with Rachel, "Is this a test to see whether I'm a replicant, or a lesbian Mr. Deckard?" :rofl:


The rest in no particular order:

2. The Great Escape

3. Star wars flicks

4. Gattica

5. Crimson Tide

6. Riddick Trilogy

7. Manchurian Candidate (original)

8. Planet of the Apes (original)

9. The Crow (Top Dollar is one of the best bad guys ever) "Childhood is over the moment you know you're going to die"

10. Goodfellas

11. Tron

12. 2001

13. Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy

14. Most of the Star trek movies

15. Cosmos miniseries

16. The Fifth Element

17. Mr. Roberts

18. Noises Off (Both the play and the movie. I'm partial, I've been in the play twice, once as gary, once as Lloyd.)

19. Office Space

20. Idiocracy

21. Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

I think one of my favorite train films is the western Breakheart Pass starring Charles Bronson. Takes place on a train in the Sierra mountains in the winter, and uses an authentic Baldwin 2-8-0 locomotive. It's like a railfan movie with fist and gunfights.

There are many more movies that I like, but the two that come off the top of my head upon seeing this thread...

1. Apocalypse Now,

2. Midnight Express


Neither of them seem dated in terms of production, direction and acting, watching them even now, years after their making.
