Title: Favourite Movie/s
Post by: Joshua Robinson on January 11, 2013, 02:14:01 AM

Hey guys and Girls.

I was wondering what is your favourite movie/s that you have seen so far. For me it would have to be tied between Leslie Nielsen's Wrongfully Accused and all of his comedy movies and the Lord of The Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit.

What about you?

That's one helluva tie...

There's no one best for me.  Some good ones are:

The Sting
Rounders
The Beast (sometimes retitled as "The Beast of War")
The Empire Strikes Back
A Clockwork Orange

I've got too many and I won't remember them in one sitting, but here are some of my favorites:

A Christmas Carol (with Alistair Sim as Scrooge) - I watch it every year on Christmas Eve.
Superman and Superman II (with Christopher Reeve)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Independence Day
The Bourne Identity, Supremacy & Ultimatum
The Terminator and Terminator II (3rd and 4th not nearly as good)

What did you think of the Bourne Legacy? I couldn't stand it at all. It's like Matt Damon is still the leading role despite not being in the movie. :|

Oh I forgot about Monty Python! Love all his films, Holy Grail, Life of Brian (Both so hilarious) " We are the Knights of Nigh!" "Nigh! Nigh! Nigh!" "You must bring us a Shrrrrrubby!"

My favorite movies are probably ones that I watched the most in my childhood. They are ones that I tend to remember and still enjoy to this day.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( 1968 ) - pretty sure I watched that movie every night for months when I was younger.
Mary Poppins ( 1964 ) - another great classic.
Oliver! ( 1968 ) - first version of oliver twist I had seen
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) - who doesn't like chocolate?

Easily without a shadow of a doubt Watchmen!
Watched it again this evening with pizza, it is truly an excellent film and very true to the novel

For me there are several classics and some recent ones:

I, Robot
I am Legend
Sherlock Holmes (first one only)
Silver Linings Playbook.

The last one I had no idea would become one of my favourite films - but it's great.

For me, it would have to be Tron, Inception, and the HP Series.

I actually happened to stumble across and watch Silver Linings today and I found it surprisingly good for a rom com.

Inception, the Chris Nolan Batman trilogy, and The Lord of the Rings series are definitely up there. It's hard to pick just one. Haha
