Transformers THE movie.1986 was the one and only . Bayformers could've been any toyline. I quite like the films, but it could've just as easily been done with gobots. All that needed to happen was a name change. Bay lost me when he said 'no dinobots'. And I don't like the bad comedy - I'm looking at you leboef/wheelie/Devastators balls. And I can't unsee it.

Dog Soldiers is the best british werewolf movie ever made. Possibly the best werewolf movie ever outright. Everyone should watch it.

Serenity is good - might have to watch that one again. Kill Bill - I've nearly seen all of it. It's on my list of catch ups

What I hated about Bayformers (besides the "Twins" - who filled the Jar Jar spot too well) was that there was too much focus on the Humans. Yes it's set on Earth, but I didn't want to watch Shia whatshisname shriek and whine like a bitch for about two hours....That and a lot of other things, but that'll take the OP off topic.

My wife bought 'Heat' Magazine.

The review of transformers was 'Would be good, but the big robot battles spoiled it'. As in apart from the battles it's a chick flick.

and on topic

Forgot The Green Mile, The Mist and The Running Man.

Stephen Kings finest adapted for tele works.

I like that this went from 'list a favorite actor' to 'list every actor you can name' to 'make a list of gak films, with a few meh ones, and some good ones'.

Impressive - attempting to be annoying AND off topic.

But well done for combining the two. Go you!

Anything you'd like to add on topic?

This is highly ironic.

Both our posts come under ironic.
But what's your favourite film?

Edit:The Format so far goes
an off topic post
A sarcastic request to be on topic
A statement saying that the previous post wasn't on topic either and therefore ironic, while doing exactly the same.

I love the internet.

You just did it again.

I actually laughed out loud then, well done sir

Not quite though - I asked what your favourite film was in order to try to break the cycle of and get back on topic.

Ah, I see.

Honestly, the film I have watched most in my adult years is probably Oh Brother Where Art Thou.

Are you a man of constant sorrow Monster Rain?

I am also shocked to find someone else who knows about the movie Dog Soldiers, which really is one of the most bad ass werewolf movies ever filmed.

So difficult...

Christopher Lee, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Jim Caviezel.

Gary Oldman probably just edges it.

What makes Dog Soldiers so good is Spoon/Spooner. That guy is my hero. If I'm ever torn apart by werewolves, I want to go out like him.

Male Drama. Probably Jack Nicholson. His range may be limited but he is so incredibly watchable.
Male Comedy. Will Ferrell. He's had a few stinkers like any comic but when he's on it is pure gold.

Best duo. It's a toss up between Reno/Oldman in the Professional and Sinise/Malkovich in Of Mice and Men. Both top class films with great chemistry.

Female Drama, without a doubt Natalie Portman. I cannot watch her enough.
Female Comedy. Tina Fey. Is there anyone else close, really?

I like Steve Blum. (Legend of Korra, Wolverine, Naruto)...

I remember that movie. Watched it on the Sci-Fi channel back in the day. Had to mute the volume and watch it with captions because the TV was in the family room and it was on after my parents went to bed. My favorite line was "we're low on ammo, use short controlled bursts"...werewolf arm bursts through boarded up window...everybody empties their magazines into the general direction of the monster.

Now you have me remembering all those terrible Sci Fi movies...I was really disappointed when I learned "Rock Monster" was about a literal golem made out of rock. I had such high hopes for that one. And the one about the motion capture suit that came alive in a lightning storm and killed all the people in the video game studio...truly inspired film-making.

As far as the actual topic of the thread, Audrey Hepburn all the way. Her and Sean Connery are the only 2 actor/actresses I actually bother to remember by name and vaguely care about from a "see movies with them in it" perspective. Normally I just watch the role and ignore the person who's playing it.

Tim Curry

Because he is just so much fun to watch ^^

It'll probably change in a couple of hours, but right now it's:
SIR Christopher Lee (actor).
Jennifer Lawrence (actress).

This guy
"Can't find a smaller image"


It's the first time I've ever seen him with hair too!

But seriously I grew up watching start trek every day after school. Hands down best captain ever!

+1 to Sir Christopher Lee, the man is distilled gravitas and acting talent.

Actor - Have to tip my hat off to Bryan Cranston. He's so versatile in being able to pull off both Heisenberg and Hal, which in both shows he was outstanding.

Actress - Probably going to have to say either Meryl Streep or Robin Williams when he was Mrs. Doubtfire

Actor- Edward Norton

Ever since I saw him in Pirmal Fear I have been a fan and if I know he is in a movie I'll go and see it. His range is exceptional and he does not seem to shy away from small bit parts which I like (his role as the cop in Invention of Lying was perfect if short and sweet).

Actress- Allison Janney/Julianne Moore

I can't decide here. Those are both wonderful actresses in their own right, so I am going to just take a twofer on this one!

Actor - Bruce Willis
Actress - Jeri Ryan

Enver Gjokaj is a close second for favorite acter.

Well, I don't really have any favorites, but I do have some I'm more partial to than others, either because of looks, personality, talent, or all of the above. These include...

Ryan Gosling(if you haven't seen Drive, do so. He's amazing in it), Karen Gillan (that hair! Those legs! That accent!), Christina Hendricks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Tricia Helfer, Alison Brie, Amy Adams, Chris O Dowd (amazing comedic timing), Martin Freeman, Jennifer Lawrence(simply because she's an adorable dork that happens to be gorgeous and talented), Sigourney Weaver, Arthur Darvill, Matt Smith, David Tennant, Tom Baker, Michael Cera, and Naomi Rapace.

...Yeah, I watch a lot of movies and TV shows.
