[Spaff]

I forgot to mention Anchorman.

[elmuerte]

Kung Pow

Shaolin Soccer

Kung Fu Hustle

The Goonies

Toys

[n0wak]

I just watched the original 'Solaris" last week. Great film. Have "Andrei Rublev" on tap (along with the first season of Twin Peaks ). I've been meaning to go through his film works for a while, but just hadn't had the time for it since I was going through a little bit of a French New Wave phase

Also just watched "For a Few Dollars More". Again. So good. This thread hasn't been getting enough Leone loving for my taste.

Recent film favourites:

The Constant Gardener

Head-On

Three Burials of Melquiedas Estrada

C.R.A.Z.Y.

I guess I'm becoming a bit of a film connoiseur. Hopefully, next week I'll be hitting the film festival. Hopefully.

Kung Fu Hustle

I was so close to putting that one on my list. Oh well, missed opportunity.

And n0wak, you lucky bastard. Going to TIFF would require about $1000 that I don't have at the moment. I mean, CIFF starts on the 22nd, but I'll be working my ass off through most of it so I won't get to watch more than a couple of movies. I'd give several left nuts for the chance to hit Toronto over the next couple weeks.

I can't believe no one put:

Shawshank Redemption

Usual Suspects

Also er. uh..

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Run Lola Run

The Incredibles

Amelie

Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

And almost anything with Kevin Spacey in it.

[Kolzig]

Why do I always feel that Shawshank Redemption is very highly overrated?

[MrHoatzin]

Why do I always feel that Shawshank Redemption is very highly overrated?

Because it is a very tight movie. Very, very tight. Little room to breathe.

[wes_borland]

True Lies

Awsome movie, along with "Hackers" (1996). The list is longer than I thought, I'll post more movies as I remember them.

[Malkmut]

Rushmore

Playtime (new Criterion came out on Tues., watch it!)

Shawshank Redemption

Stalker

Duck Soup

Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board (love anything Truffaut has ever done)

Dumb and Dumber

The General

The Apartment

[Duncan]

The Final Sacrifice (also known as the episode with Zap Rowsdower).

I saw this episode today as well as Puma Man. Cracked my shit up. I think I was laughing continuously throughout Puma Man actually. I've only seen like five episodes of the show ever so I can't really recommend anything but I'll check out the rest of your list.

Oh wait, I did watch some of the shorts on youtube and those were pretty good.

Are You Ready for Marriage? Part One:

I can't even begin to answer this... and I used to work for Sight & Sound.

[Jayel]

It's not everyday I see favourite movies lists without Citizen Kane mentioned at least once.

[loonyboi]

In no particular order:

2001

Casablanca

Blade Runner

Citizen Kane

The Godfather

The Graduate

Manhattan

A Clockwork Orange

Fantasia

Sunset Boulevard

Chinatown

Apocalypse Now

Vertigo

City Lights

Dr. Strangelove

[Twilo]

Expanded list! (seeing as everyone is listing movies)

Foreign language films that make me look clever:

Les Misérables (du vingtieme siecle) (Claude Lelouch 1995)

MindGame

2046

American films that I watched when I was wee and still love (even if I feel sort of guilty about it):

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (Starring Keanu Reeves as Ted Theodore Logan!)

Hook

Freaked (Starring Keanu Reeves as Otis the Dog-boy!)

Jurassic Park

I still like the Matrix even though it isn't cool anymore (Starring Keanu Reeves as Jesus Christ!)

[Wrestlevania]

Jurassic Park

Tried to watch this again for the first time in ages last week. To no-one's surprise it's aged very badly owing in no small part to its near total dependency on CGI funk, and the entire cast being laughably shite.

Except for Wayne Knight, who absolutely shines.

"Angel's Revenge," "Riding With Death," "Agent from H.A.R.M.," "Overdrawn At The Memory Bank," "Merlin's Mystical Shop," and "Prince of Space" are all pretty class too.

[brkl]

I downloaded The Deadly Mantis and that one is ass. Manos is great, though.

I disagree. I watched the movie about a year (maybe two) ago, and I think it holds up just fine.

Maybe you're just bitter.

Jurassic Park

J.P. I and III were excellent, but "The Lost World"...

[Wrestlevania]

Jurassic Park III didn't work because you weren't given chunky plastic guns to shoot things with as you watched it.

[Wrestlevania]

Unbreakable (2000)

One of the best modern comic book movies IMO.

[brkl]

Yes, Unbreakable is excellent. I've watched it many times and it keeps getting better.

[wes_borland]

What about "The Entrapment"?
