My brain can't come up with anything other than Pulp Fiction and Gladiator. Oh, and Downfall! And the Star Wars films come to think of it.
Come to think of it, I don't really watch an awful many films.

Pulp Fiction is fucking awesome, one of the best movies ever. I also love Battle Royale, Basketball, Die Hard, Dumb & Dumber and Orgazmo.
My favorite movies are the George Romero horror movies :)

Not saying it's my favourite film -- but has anyone seen the new Rocky? I found it to be pretty sweet, really enjoyed it, anyone else liked it?

Two pretty obscure choices, but I'm going to have to go for these two:
"Avanti!", by Billy WilderA romantic comedy set in Italy. Just perfect in every possible way. Absolutely brilliant.
Schindler's ListQuite possibly the most poignant film I've ever seen. A bit of an odd choice, I know- but it's quite simply the best made film that I've ever seen. Absolutely spectacular. I wouldn't choose it for enjoyment value- it's one of the only films I'd ever call truly tearjerking. The way Schindler collapses in tears at the end is absolutely... Well.
Yeah. Not exactly the most enjoyable of films. Just so bloody good.
So. Yeah. I'm weird- so shoot me. :P
i have lots of favourites but i espicialy like the Jamese Bond movies, battle royal and the back to the future trillogy^_^
Ong Bak& Revenge of the warrior...

Pretty odd and confusing too! It took a lot of watching before I understood most of it. It's because the films full of metaphors some of which are open to intureptation, but inside the feeling of the film kinda makes sense the first time.(if that makes any sense):wacko:
The whole film's pretty disturbing in ways I didn't think films could be while still being arty, A lot of scenes which seem to just be normal have dark undertones to them and a lot of surreal stuff just comes out of nowhere at times. The ending was disapointing to me untill I figured out what it might mean. I find it kinda hard to describe the film really but I'll just say It's a great unusuall horror movie that gets better everytime you watch it.

Does anyone remember a film called 'The Wizard'? It had Ben Savage in it from the wonder years, and it was about him going of with his ill younger brother to LA to enter him into the 'world video games championship'. The last game the Kid had to play was Super Mario 3 on the NES so the film must have been made around 1986 or something like that. Took me ages to track down as I couldn't remember the title for ages...
It had the 'Nintendo Power Glove' in it.......nice

Fazza i thought it was too but it was actually a playable prototype version (or a beta version) as it has subtle differences from the full game!!!!
anyway going back on topic my fav films are...:
Naked Gun, 2 1/2: The smell of fear, 3 3/4: The final insult
The James Bond Films
Any Comedy films really, oh and some action films espetially Die Hard...
Lots of funny remarks like, "now i know what a TV dinner feals like!!":lol::lol:

I'd say Monty Python and the Holy Grail is my favorite movie.
Oooh. There's quite a few, despite not being a Movie fanatic (i heavily prefer gaming,lol)
I like a good deal of Jackie Chan stuff, so Rush Hour 1 and 2 (3's coming out this year, hurrah!).
Shanghai Noon and Knights as well. There are others he's done, but i can't remember the names, as i grew up watching them, hence never stopped to think about it,XD.
Moves me on to Owen Wilson, he's fairly awesome as an actor. In the two films about, and Starsky and Hutch.
Shaun of the Dead as well, that's a permanent classic. Seeing Hott Fuzz on Friday, should be awesome =)
28 Days later, and Saw in the proper horror section.
FF7:AC as well, even though it's related to gaming, it counts, lol.

The recent one, I don't think I've ever seen the old one.

It wasn't good, I think you can get it in a boxset with the old versions of other Narnia movies.

Yeah, I figured there was a good reason I hadn't bought it.
