Favorite Movie Of All Time

[Kacey]

It depends on the mood I'm in... some days it's The Big Chill, and other days it's Mr. Holland's Opus.

Another one would be A Bridge too far what a great war movie.

True! An interesting piece of trivia: Audrey Hepburn was one of the Dutch refugees from Arnhem after the unsuccessful Allied attack.

My Favorite Movie is The Breakfast Club.

Careful, or you'll be giving your age away! ;¬) Yep, good show with great characterization but where are they all now???

For me it's The Crow - simultaneously a beautiful and violent movie and one I never tire of - the tragic cirumstances of Brandon Lee's death oddly adding to the allure. Ask me tomorrow though and it'll be something different...

It's a tough question!

12 Angry Men is a good bet as well...was on last night. The remake was excellent as well (not Jury Duty!).

Hands down, my favorite movie ever is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". It is still my favorite Gene Wilder performance, followed closely by "Young Frankenstein". I can watch that movie any time day or night and never be bored...

.... and no, I hate Tim Burton...

Good choice! Yes, it does have a certain magic to it lacking in recent creations...

Tombstone with Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer

Tombstone with Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer

"I'm your huckleberry"

I love it!

Gotta agree with Young Frankenstein also. I love Mel Brooks' films. Cloris Leachman is so funny! Gene Wilder is brilliant! And the cameo by Gene Hackman is priceless.

Gotta include Blazing Saddles and History of the World Part I as well. "He's a eunich."

It's hard to pick just a single one, but here are 3 on my list:

The Bourne Identity for the fighting sequences,
Minority Report for the futuristic special effects.
And of course Goodfellas is also on my list for the best in the gangster genre.

Have you noticed that (almost) all of these films you've chosen involve violence from one extreme to another? Just a thought.

Yeah, but remember it's just Hollywood, and it's all fantasy make believe. Don't we live vicariously through the movies we like? At least in our minds anyway. Besides, isn't violence, or restrained violence one of the reasons why some of us are drawn to the martial arts? Sparring or self-defense does involve violent acts or actions to a certain degree. Just another thought...

Yes indeed, still as Martialist we should strive to continually seek balance no? I've many "Action" movies with lots of violence in them, but at the same time I've movies that have the yang to the yin of violence.

[wee_blondie]

So so many!! Love everything from Shogun's Ninja (Sonni Chiba rocks!) to Monty Python (all of them) and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure!

There are so many others - please don't make me choose!!!!
