Best movies ever?

[Guest]

By far (nothing else is even in the same  ballpark)  the best movie ever is “Once upon a time in the west”……I give an honorable mention to “The Godfather”, and “Scarface”

[Guest]

“Ferris Buellers Day Off” is the best movie ever.  You know why?  Cause im Abe Froman, The Sausage King of Chicago, bitch!  :-D

[Yanny]

Drama: A Few Good Men
Comedy: Major League
Action: The Hunt for Red October (if it counts)
Suspense: Memento
Sci-Fi: Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Horror: Saw I
War: The Thin Red Line

[Guest]

I had not picked a sci-fi film,but have to agree with Yanny on that one.  Wrath of Khan is an AWESOME flick.  And Khan SHOULD have gotten the “Best Supporting Actor” Oscar that year…

Damn, I forgot Memento; that was an awesome movie, I think it’ll have to tie with The Sixth Sense for my favorite suspense.

[Imperious Leader]

Drama: Inn of the sixth happiness, Rounders, Ran
Comedy: Friday after next, Dont be a menace ( while drinking your juice in the hood), the great dictator
Action: Transporter (first 45 minutes), scarface, king of new york
Suspense: Glen Gary, Glen Ross, Usual suspects
Sci-Fi: Empire strikes back, Battlestar Galactica
Horror: Destroy all Monsters
War: Longest Day, Sparticus, Conspiracy
Cartoon: anything with disney/warner brothers and Hitler made during world war two.

@Wargaming_nut:

Drama: Donnie Darko

I wouldnt call Donnie Darko a drama.  It is however a good movie, but I think I would classify that movie under Sci-Fi.

[Guest]

You know, I just realized that we are being a bit sexist in our movie choices…

Best Chick Flick:  Pretty Woman

Best tear-jerker:  Ghost

Best Lifetime Movie:  They are all the same.

:mrgreen:

Yea Pretty Woman is a good choice but for tear-jerker Id have to say “A Walk to Remember.”  That was a very sad movie at the end.  :cry:

Actually for Chick Flick Id have to pick “When the boys are away, the girls will play.”  That movie is a really great Chick Flick……I kid I kid.  :lol:

[Guest]

Don’t forget about “cool hand luke”!! Can you tell that I’m an old fart?

Ohhhhhhh that guy!  Never seen any of his movies.  Ill have to check some out.  Anyways, I finally decided to stop being lazy so heres my list.

Drama:

Comedy: Snatch (you like dags?)

Action: Last Action Hero!!  I kid.  :lol:  Ill give this one to The Rock (Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery are the roxxors.)

Suspense: Fight Club (I dont know if this would classify under this but its a damn good movie.)

Sci-Fi: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

War: Stalingrad

Anime: Akira (made in the late 80’s, it was the best damn looking anime in its time.)

Adventure: Indiana Jones and at a very close second would come National Treasure.

[dezrtfish]

My lists of good movies change with time and mood here’s what I’ve got tonight:

Drama: Easy Rider (I love the ending)
Comedy: Shawn of the Dead
Action: Any of the Indiana Jones movies.  (Good action always has Nazis)
Sci-Fi: Starship Troopers (All I gota say is: Bugs, Boobs and Nuclear RPGs…)
Horror: The Hills Have Eyes Original (I saw it in the Drive in and had nitemares for years.)
War: Saving Private Ryan (still the most realistic I think)
Cartoon: Heavy Metal (Them cartoon chicks are hot!)

[Guest]

Welcome back DF!

As for Heavy Metal…  yep, HUGE flower shaped mamalian protruberances with flower shaped nipples.  Guess it falls under the category of “American Anime” :-)

In the same line of thinking…
Best Porn Plot:  Cafe Flesh

Best Porn Special Effects:  Juranal Park (gotta love the guy holding the one color plastic dinosaurs and moving htem back and forth in front of the camera going “ggrrr, grrr” as the “footage” of the dinosaurs rampaging through the island!)

And some of the other categories we missed earlier that folks might want to add…

Best Musical  (My Fair Lady is at or near the top of that cat for me)
Best Western (not the hotel chain :-P )

And some sub-categories could have their own rating too…

Best Zombie Movie:  Resident Evil is my personal fave in that line
Best Star Trek Movie:  Wrath of Khan
Best Star Wars Movie:  Original
Best Classic Sci-Fi:  Forbidden Planet
Best Monster Movie:  Godzilla (the original)

[Jermofoot]

Damn, I can’t pick just one.
