What's your favorite movies of all time? You know, those ones you have on DVD, VHS, Widescreen, Fullscreen, Special Edition, AND Collector's Editions. The kind of movies you've seen a million times, and are probably watching right now.

I love movies, any kind at all. Drama, action, scifi, comedy, horror, indie, everything. But my favorite movies of all time, in no specific order are:

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Boondock Saints

The Lord of the Rings trilogy

The Godfather 1 and 2

Snatch

The Big Lebowski

Predator

The newer Scifi channel version of Dune

Stargate

Legend

The Original Star Wars trilogy

Hook

The Neverending Story

There are probably more, but that's all that really stands out right now.

Sorry




I guess I'm not k3w1 enough to spam topics like "If you were faced with a katana wielding psycho babbling" or "Has anyone been very bored at a meeting/assembly" you know, quality topics like those.
 
LOL...

I dread the day that "Supersize #1: is it worth it???" or "Furries and Me" become a topic.

As for films, I agree with nearly all the films that Kharn and the rest included and then a couple like:

That's why I didn't post my favorite movies, I would have to edit or post addendums all over the place. However Kharn has great taste in movies, I agree with his list.

One movie though, Edward Scissor Hands probably is my favorite of all time.

Actually, there already was a topic on TO like that, methinks. Hehehehe

You know, p[erhaps a thread like this should be stickied so we don't have to see it pop up again and again.

Fact is a lot of great movies are well-known movies. It comes with being great

A lot of the unknown-foreign market is often fun, but I find it contains a lot of bull and some classics in between. Good films, a lot of them, just not a lot of it which I consider better than the listed flicks.

How 'bout I slip you some great Dutch films so you can one-up OTB with those? (great Dutch films...there are about 5 of those)
