[daughterofeve]

...erm, sorry for that.. but, huh??

[joft]

in no particular order

lawrence of arabia
the last samurai (brings out my deformed F)
braveheart (same, I'm probably only listing these 2 because it's late at night)
the adventures of baron von münchhausen (robin williams' best role ever in this)
brazil

and I would probably change my mind pretty much ever day

[file cabinet]

brazil! I always forget about that movie..

so.. for me..
brazil
blade runner
...
the ring
the matrix(the first one, the rest weren't as good)
resevoir dogs(I can't remember if this was good, but I _think_ I enjoyed it when I saw it.. and because I needed a 5th movie)

edit: the 5th element was interesting as well

[joft]

ah damn, I forgot about blade runner. I'd like to scratch one of my stupid F-weak submissions and substitute blade runner

[Warrior413]

The posts are always more interesting to read if they're late at night. ;P
Anyway, in no real order:
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Bourne Identity
Bourne Supremacy
Last Samurai
The Matrix

But these are American movies and I don't like or watch many.

[file cabinet]

just rememebered another one.. butterfly effect(director's cut, much better ending)

[hemanthraz]

You guys have told about almost all the movies i like.

Some of the others

1. Amelie - french film with english subtitles
2. American beauty- alittle pretentious but nice
3. Spy games- robert redford rocks
4. cruel intentions- evil bitchy women, whats not to like??
5. The doors

[songbird36]

Depends what the criteria are.

I enjoyed Bridget Jones #1 (not #2). "From here to Eternity" is one of my all time favourites - there are quite a few layers to it, and great characterisation.

But neither movie could be regarded as totally "serious". I need 3 more; I'll have to think

[Shai Gar]

DreamCatcher
You cant stop the murders
Jason 3
life of brian -mp
quest for the holy grail - mp

[Edmond Zedo]

Star Trek 1-5! No, no.

In my current mood:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Star Wars
Tron
Dr. Strangelove
Master and Commander

[Dman]

The Outlaw Josey Wales
Total Recall
Dumb & Dumber
Aliens
Planes, Trains & Automobiles

And in the spirit of christmas, anybody ever see "The Ref" with Kevin Spacey & Denis Leary? Freakin hilarious!! An absolute must for anyone that's ever been in a long term relationship.

[booyalab]

Star Trek 1-5! No, no.

In my current mood:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Star Wars
Tron
Dr. Strangelove
Master and Commander

I'm very inclined to agree with Star Wars, Strangelove, and The Good, The Bad and the ugly, but Master and Commander??? I mean, it was entertaining, but I predicted the supposed plot twists and realized the biological adaptation reference as a foreshadowing device like halfway through the damn thing. (no I hadn't read the book)
Haven't seen Tron.
I'll have to think about what I'd consider to be the top 5, I'm not sure it's possible.

[EdwinJefferson]

Off the top of my head...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Leon
Bullitt
The Dictator (Charlie Chaplin)
Pulp Fiction


Ok.. it's a bad list.. but yeah least it doesn't have Stars Wars in it. Or Tron. I watched that all the time as a kid, watched it again recently and thought it was the geekiest film I've ever seen.

Just read someone put American Beauty.. so um.. replace the film you dislike the most and insert that in its place.

[booyalab]

I have my top 5 comedy movies.

Have you seen "The Meaning of Life?" I haven't had the pleasure of The Producers or Napoleon Dynamite. An SJ punk I know said he liked ND, so I blew it off. :)

[Edmond Zedo]

I did like it quite a bit the first time, but it wasn't until 3x or 4x that I began to appreciate its true quality. It's a style movie, as so many greats are...Poetic dialogue, brilliant acting, visuals, music, dot, dot, dot. I'm reading the books now, and have to give cheers to Crowe and the uh, the other guy for perfectly matching the written characters.


Haven't seen Tron.
YOU WHAT?!

[songbird36]

Napolean Dynamite. Was American Splendor a ghastly Mid-West movie too? It seemed to be set somewhere in that bloc.

Monty Python were better 30 years ago than on commercials and travel shows on TV now.

um Napoleon Dynamite has nothing to do with the midwest. Neither did American Splendor, I believe. I'm pretty sure they both took place on opposite regions of the US. Napoleon Dynamite was directed by a Mormon and so it takes place in Utah, or the like. Actually the setting doesn't even look like anything but the southwest so I'm not sure where you got midwest from. American Splendor definitely gives off a (lower-middle class ) New England vibe to me...or if in the midwest at all, far eastern indiana-area midwest. I'll have to verify that since I don't remember where it takes place.

Ok after just googling it, it took place in Cleveland..which is close to where I expected it. (sort of a mix of the NE and MW regions)

[booyalab]

Have you seen "The Meaning of Life?" I haven't had the pleasure of The Producers or Napoleon Dynamite. An SJ punk I know said he liked ND, so I blew it off. :)

a)Yeah I saw "The Meaning of Life" and it was good, but it was more insightful-funny than laughing-out-loud-funny.
b)The Producers was Mel Brooks debut film. It's got Gene Wilder, horny old ladies, and a hippie hitler. What more could you ask for?????
c)ok, but I'm an NT goddess!!! *rolling of eyes* Seriously, just rent it and tell yourself that the humor is multi-layered and this SJ only 'got' the more primitive layers of it. (which are still good...)

You're absolutely right, and now that I think about it I don't normally care when I can predict the direction of the plot. It's just that I liked it so much the first half, I was disappointed when I was able to predict the second, because it hadn't lived up to the high standards it provoked in me.

See, I haven't ever actually laughed-out-loud. Not yet. I'm still waiting for someone as witty as me to make a movie. ;p

[Edmond Zedo]

You're absolutely right, and now that I think about it I don't normally care when I can predict the direction of the plot.
I'm a bit of a fairy when it comes to good art, and I shut off the critical part of my brain for a while and let it take me along easily. So I rarely see anything coming. It's an asset!

[booyalab]

Now I feel old. Seemed like most people were posting flicks that have come out in the last 10-15 years...

Here are some old movies I like:

Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte
Whatever happened to Baby Jane? (old Bette Davis is so cool)
The Women
Singing in the Rain
Gone with the Wind
Plan 9 from Outerspace :D (good candidate for the humor category too)
The Exorcist
My Fair Lady
Arsenic and Old Lace (also for humor category)

See, I haven't ever actually laughed-out-loud. Not yet. I'm still waiting for someone as witty as me to make a movie. ;p

We both know I'm 783,025 times wittier than you'll ever be, but I laugh at movies. It's likely that the one who put you together forgot to include the 'emotion' chip, so no wonder you want an ESFP!

I used to be the same way. You have to let yourself. Almost like you have to kind of force yourself. After a while you get used to it, and it feels good. It's worth it. Ya gotta let yerself go, man...

Amores Perros
Memento
Garden State
Fight Club
Seven Samurai/Akira (tie)

[Spartan26]

This is so hard. I'd admit to Lawrence of Arabia being a better made flick, but I enjoyed Fight Club so much more.
I'd throw Raiders of the Lost Arc in there, pace, acting, visuals, even music - Spielberg the great manipulator
In terms of genre-defining films and long-term trend setters:
Halloween
Bladerunner
Hard not to consider a few Hitchcock films or
Goodfellas
Das Boot
Paths of Glory
Once Upon a Time in the West - the Sergio Leone film

[Veen]

In no particular order:

Memento
Vanilla Sky
Boogie Nights
Lost in Translation
American Beauty ( hated it at first, watched it a second time and loved it )
Contact ( this is probably not top 5, but I just thought of it and I remember liking it a whole bunch )

That's all I can think of for now.

[booyalab]

OH god this is hard, I wish Spartan hadn't mentioned Hitchcock. Rear Window has to be up there too, what am I at now? 20?
I also agree with everyone who mentioned Fight Club.

[Edmond Zedo]

I also agree with everyone who mentioned Fight Club.
Fight Club is indeed good, but it would have been so much more philosophically true and even better artistically had they not made it a case of multiple personalities. It's a cheap trick. I assume the book made the same mistake.

The book had a bit of a different end (tries not to kill the book for anyone who hasn't read it and might)

[TraditionalNonconformist]

Somewhat arbitrary top 5:
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Waking Life
Pi
Fight Club
Rushmore

Some alternates: Iron Giant, The Pixar films, Requiem for a Dream, Monty Python The Holy Grail, Donnie Darko, Trainspotting, Young Frankestein, Clockwork Orange, 2001, Dr. Strangelove, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Crouching Tiger, hell- even Tron

Lagaan, interesting. I haven't seen that in a while, although it was a great movie.

I think Ben Hur was too "Hollywood" though.

Yes, good ol' Cleveburg. Where I originally hail from. I actually met Harvey Pekar, who the movie is based on, and got on friendly terms with him. You'll see his Jazz criticism sometimes quoted on the net. An interesting guy. Very much a lefty. Hilarious confrontation with David Letterman on TV, over the show's sponsor General Electric. Letterman had been trying to give the obscure Harvey a PR boost for a while, and finally had it with him. Their arguments were good for ratings, though, and he would get invited back, occasionally, even though the previous parting had been acrimonious. Letterman could have the "final word" as he admitted himself. He could edit out the moments where Harvey really zinged him. He told Harvey "go back to your basement Mickey Mouse club then" or something similar. Harvey publishes a comic book based on his real life with a modest circulation. He gave me R. Crumb's address once, but then Crumb moved to France.

The Wonder Boys, Office Space and Go are fantastic. I don't think anyone can really criticize you for those. Even the Breakfast Club is pretty good.

I just saw Million Dollar Baby tonight (well, this afternoon). It was fantastic, so much better than I would have imagined and much better than Mystic River. I would go see it.

I liked Barton Fink. It reminded me a little of the great 1975 movie "The Day of the Locust" - with both being set in the old Hollywood, and twisted. My favorite Cohen Brothers' film is "The Big Lebowski". Cool to see someone else liked "My Dinner With Andre", as it requires a special palate to appreciate. I loved "Adaptation" too. Another great piece by the same screenwriter as "Being John Malkovitch". ( Although he did have a sorta stinker with that one where they are trying to educate the mice to behave politely. ) K

[glassmoon]

I also think "The Big Lebowski" is the best Coen bros. film. I think Barton Fink is INTP, rare to find one in movies..

Anyone saw "L.I.E."?

Didn't see L.I.E. And that aint no lie. What was it about?

Are you a Frazetta fan, GM? Next week we have the Pulp show here in Chicago, and I often run into interesting artists there. Jim Steranko comes down to the Con suite as a night owl, and tells us about early days in Marvel. I told him a bit of gossip I'd heard about Frazetta, and he angrily denied it. Maybe Gary Gianni will be there. I forget who the Guest Of Honor is supposed to be this year.

The Ewoks themselves were too much and were a forshadowing of Lucas' wish to turn the saga into movies exclusively for kids. ROTJ was a decent movie until the Ewoks ruined it halfway through. Hint to Imperial Army: retreat into the bunker and napalm the woods.

[MaroonBells]

The Game

I never saw that, tell me about what you liked without revealing too much.

[C.J.Woolf]

Hint to Imperial Army: retreat into the bunker and napalm the woods.
Most filmmakers don't know shit about tactics. I could never bring myself to watch Starship Troopers because the "Mobile Infantry" acted like an untrained rabble -- they clumped together, didn't put out pickets, etc.

[iponjs]

I never saw that, tell me about what you liked without revealing too much.

First I have to admit that I get sucked into movies very easily. Given that, this one kept me on the edge the whole time. Michael Douglas plays a burned-out rich dude (probably an SJ) and Sean Penn plays his SP brother (the relationship is strained). Lots of action and plot twists ensue.

2 more that should've made my list: River's Edge (1987) and Fast Times @ Ridgemont High

No way. She's INFP.

I also liked Iron Giant, and All Monty Python films. I lived in England when MP first came out and LMAO. You just didn't find "humour" like that in the states. Also saw the original run of Fawlty Towers, and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Classics in my book. Of course, my favorite was Doctor Who, and I came in just as Tom Baker took the reins.

That is a touph one, but that is one of my favorites. I know it is long and a bit wierd, but it is a classic and it was ahead of it's time. I wish they would do movies for more of the last two books like 2062? and 3001. The 2010 one wasn't too bad of a movie either, but I think they could have done a little better on that one. I actually read the last two books, but wouldn't mind a movie of those as long as they did a good job of it..

Backdoor Beauties - Volumes 1-5

Mm, is that the one with the Oscar for best camera work, the one where they couldn't get Denzel to play the lead...?

[nonsequitur]

i'm a sucker for depressing stuff. these aren't necessarily the five best films, but i do like them.

- Lost in Translation (something I can't explain without a 5000 word essay)
- Requiem for a Dream (Depress-o-thon, perfectly my style.)
- Mulholland Drive (i should watch more Lynch, I know)
- Thirteen (only 'cause Evan Rachel Wood is such a damn good actress and she actually made me cry - don't need to emphasise how rare that is)
- Donnie Darko (wow.)

[In...TP]

I recently watched 13 Going On 30 and The Notebook. They both made me cry.

1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I like way too many other movies to come up with 4 more than are the greatest of all. Fear and Loathing is probably my favorite though, so I listed it...

[lafz]

Finally, someone acknowledged the existence of Barton Fink. Apparently, there are all kinds of variations of an INTP personality, but the character, Barton Fink, comes closest to the Kafka-like archetype of the abstract, socially inept tormented soul. ...So alienated and lost

As for other titles, many of my favorites have already been mentioned numerous times. I would add onto that:

Lolita(the one by Stanley Kubrick)-The farcical tone makes it less disturbing and painfully funny. brilliant perfomances by Peter Sellers and James Mason

Broken Flowers-To me, it embodied existentialism on celluloid. Bill Murray's character is most likely an ISTP.
