some of the classic disney movies.

Good question... I'm not sure.

Space Balls and Kung Pow are fairly high on the list, but my favourite film would probably be the Life of Brian.

hmmmm.

Tremors
Blues Brothers
Transformers the movie(the cartoon)
The Hobbit

those stand out best, at the moment, as movies i'm pretty much always willing to watch

Lord of the Rings (It's one 12+ hr movie, people!)
South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Armageddon
The Shining

Oooo neato choices... especially Life of Brian... loved that one...

I'd say mine is Brazil

My friend finds it ironic that I enjoy Life of Brian when I'm Christian. I don't really see that though, because it isn't insulting anyone.

The jokes seem funnier when you're Christian... I'm Catholic and 'Dogma' is a hoot...

Awesome choices! Have you seen Tremors 2?

I watched Tremors 4 recently. That was really strange, and the worm things looked really badly animated.

Grosse Pointe Blank is my favorite movie of all time. Kingdom of Heaven is up there as well, but that movie is made awesome by the soundtrack.

i've seen the 4 tremor movies, and a decent number of episodes of the tv show scifi had

The Shining
Yojimbo
Pan's Labyrinth
There Will be Blood
Blade Runner

Iron Man
Transformers(acting)
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix
LOTR:Return of The King

Which one have you seen? The original? I've watched only bits and pieces of the original and the remake but it looks like something I want to check out.

Both great movies. Have you seen some of Akira Kurosawa's other stuff? I like Stray Dog.

These two I still have yet to see but definitely want to check out.

I totally forgot about the TV show... *runs off to youTube it*

The original Shining. The Kubrick one. Their is no other as far as I'm concerned. There Will be Blood is highly recommended. I went through a phase a few months ago where I watched it about four times a week.

Can't ever pick just one favourite movie.


Heat
Miller's Crossing
The Big Lebowski
No Country for Old Men
Ghost World
American Splendor
Fight Club
Office Space
The Killer
The Thin Red Line

Oh yes, and Fargo. I love Fargo.

Dawn of the Dead (Romero)

and

The Seven Samurai - This may seem stereotypical but every time I see it I remember why I love it so much.

Honorable mention:

American Splendor
Shaun of the Dead
The Shawshank Redemption
An American Werewolf in London
Wallace & Grommit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (This movie never disappoints to make me happy!)

I agree... except for me this is a joke question full of twists and turns, roughly equaling two pages of font 12.

I wholeheartedly agree! An excellent bit of work from the blokes at Aardman. I liked how they put in all that suggestive language, that really made it more appealing to older viewers IMO, and it was quite refreshing from an otherwise sparkling-clean franchise.

Lol... ever since DVDs I haven't been able to do that for some reason. When I was going to high school and would borrow VHS's from the library I could watch the living spit out of Brazil, Lawrence of Arabia, Predator, Predator 2, and the Star Wars Original Trilogy... Sergio Leone's movies helped me with my Electronics projects during college... now a days though I now just do single viewings... even of my Star Wars DVDs.

After a bit of thinking, I do have favorite directors (more or less)

Peter Jackson WINS THE GOLD!!! WOOOT!

ghost dog- way of the samurai- not sure why, but i rather enjoy the movie

What can I say? I like sensory overload. I listen to super intense music, like unbelievably spicy food; anything that's too intense for most people draws me like a magnet. There Will be Blood keeps me on the edge of my seat if nothing else. Also, it's unfair to other actors that Daniel Day Lewis exists.

BloodofOrks already mentioned Yojimbo. So I'm not totally convinced that when I say "Hidden Fortress" no one will know what that is. But as for the movies that have had the biggest effect on me: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. That's jess how it is.

KUROSAWAS RAN!!!

BIG, BLOODY RARE, AND RED AS HELL!!!

HELL I TELL YOU!!!

Have you seen Kagemusha? I liked that one better than Ran.

I have seen all of Kurosawas work and by far the ones that stand out for me are:

RAN

-and-

7 Samurai

All others simply fail to stick in my mind.

Unforgiven and the Wild Bunch as two of the best de-constructive westerns ever in my opinion.

Jaws - the latter part of the film (3 men in a boat) is amazing, Quint remembering the Indianapolis makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Mixed bag vying for second place:
Bladerunner, Strange Days, Aliens and Ghostbusters.
