Well I don't think I've seen an excellent film in ages, though some of my favourites have to be; Usual suspects, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Resvoir Dogs (notice a trend here) as well as the usual selection of sci/fantasy of LoTR and Star wars (old trilogy ftw!)
-
While there's tons of shit, during all those years there are definitely too many great movies to choose my favourite one (zomg classic Hitchcocks, 70/80's stuff like Alien, screwball comedies of the 50s...) . Therefore, I'll just list those that spring to my mind which I enjoyed watching during the last months:
Crash (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375679/)
Transamerica (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407265/)
11:14 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0331811/)
Twelve and Holding (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417385/)
and some blockbusters like SW:Ep2 (guess I'm one of the few who like that), both PiratesOfTheCarribean and even the new WarOfTheWorlds (for visual and sonic overload).

Gah Alien! and Aliens how could I forget those classics! :D
-
Last intresting (recent) films i have seen where Vendetta. Good story and a scary one also, total government control. 1984 anyone?
And lucky number Slevin, Lucy Liu plays in it so by definition it is good movie :P
-
I have both lying around Morbid, but didn't had time to watch 'em yet. WTB more time
Oh, I also forgot Gattaca (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/) in my list.

And lucky number Slevin, Lucy Liu plays in it so by definition it is good movie :P
It was an *okay* film but a little predictable. Though definate pluses for Lucy Liu :P
Oh, I also forgot Gattaca (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/) in my list.
Yup another great film. Also I have to add Clerks, Dogma and pretty much all the Kevin Smith films :D
-
My favorite movie must be Crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I'm really into asian movies, so a few others comes to my memory...Hero is a nice one as well, the old classic black/white Seven samurai...and actually The last samurai was quite good, must be Tom cruise's best(or only good) role. ;D
-
All the good ones are allready named.
BUT one is missing
"One night at the roxbury" :D
Good dutch movie that is being subtitled and worth watching is
Zwartboek : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389557/
-
Well Matrix (only the first one). Anything by tarantino ofcourse.
I know Im a softy: American beauty
Monty python and the quest for the holy grail + life of bwyan :P
-
I will join the ranks of Tarantino-followers, I especially like Kill Bill, both of them, preferably in quick succession :P
I am a sucker for Westerns, so "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is an alltime favourite movie for me. Basically Leone was a master in my mind.
"The Incredibles", "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo" are favourites for me as well, if asked about comedy. "Ghost in the Shell" is an incredible anime, as is the movie adaptation of "Akira", even if many think it was poor compared to the manga. My hidden dark secret is that I immensely enjoy "The Lion King", even if it is a blatant ripoff of "Kimba the white lion". (http://www.kimbawlion.com/rant2.htm) Disney are bastards to the core. Evil evil men ;D
"Army of Darkness" needs to be on this list as well. Last (there are undoubtably many more, but I can't think of them at the moment), but most definetely not least, is my favourite movie (I think): "The Shining" (the absolutely, unequivocally, no-contest scariest movie of all time. Period.).
-
My favorite films are:
Snatch and Lock stock and the something something... You probably know what I mean.. A very similar film to snatch with the same actors and stuff.
Sin city, Running scared
Dogma, Jay and SilentBob strike back.
LOTR
Ice Age (the first one) And Shrek 1 & 2.
-
Hmm, so many good ones to choose! Forest Gump is one of my favs. Star Wars rock, Neverending story (for the sake of nostalgia)...I know I am missing a really major one, but too tired to remember it.
P.S. Saw grumpy old men earlier - I forgot how good the classic comedies were. I couldn't breath from laughing :)
-
all star wars movies, all LOTR movies, both pirates of the caribbean movies.

-
Seven - thriller movie, was quite young when I first saw it, was pretty blown away by this one :)
Rocky III, where he fights Mr T! that ones quite fun from time to time :P
The Football factory - Keep thinking that Bifftanner is one of the guys when I see it from time to time now :P
And how could I forget PoTC, both of em Kick ass! Long live Jack Sparrow, only thing that annoys me with the second movie is the ending, when they get that boon for captain :(
Forest Gump wins

Hell yes Hurmuri! "This is bat country!"

I see we have some fans of 'trip' movies...
I saw a film recently, but I can't recall the name of it for the life of me. It was kind of cel-shaded... Definitely trippy. Was about some guy getting inside some government agency... that handled... stuff...
Blah, I'm useless.

Someone already said Star Wars old trilogy... I loved Matrix (untill 3rd part :/ ) thats about my SF side.
Though I am not a big fan of Shakespeare I was stunned by Pacino's role in The Merchant of Venice. I could say that I liked Pulp Fiction very much. Classics like Unce upon a time in America (Italian mafia FTW)...
These days u cant find a good movie, its like... they are all made under same pattern, inluding plastic babes, guns, drugs... Very predictable scenarios...
-
I saw a good film a few months ago, Lady in the Water. Pretty good fantasy type flick.
