Favorite Good Movie?

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

What is your favorite good movie?

-Ed Wood

My current favorite. I just love the scene when Ed Wood proposes to Kathy in the rain after the premire of Plan 9.

Ed: "Heck, it'll probably stop by the time we get around the corner. Let's go."

Then he opens the car door and rain pours out.

[sethsez]

8 1/2, Videodrome and Metropolis (original, not the anime).

[mannerbot]

Either Pulp Fiction or Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

Repo Man
The City of Lost Children
Ed Wood (great choice, Mosquito Fighter)
Brazil
Blade Runner
Goodfellas
Down By Law
Jackie Brown (not Tarantino's most popular, but by far his best)
Once Upon a Time in the West

and one more:

Ghost Dog (I've seen this film several times, and it grows on me more and more every time.)

Event Horizon and Stargate are my favorites.

[Accutron]

Aliens. I know it's not the most original choice in the world, but hey...

Aliens is a great movie. I would place Alien slightly above it though.

Right now I'm watching Wrath of Khan for the 487 billionth time.

[Arcatech]

UHF

I could quote it all day.

This town is a festering bowl of dog snot!


btw, sorry to be a negative asshole, but I thought Bubba Ho Tep was a lame movie. It put me to sleep.

Each to their own. I thought it was Bruce Campbells finest performance and the idea of Elvis being alive in an old folks home with cancer fighting a mummy with the real JFK is damn fine.
I love Joe R Lansdale's writing. He has a utterly fantastic feel for dialogue, and the script for Bubba Ho-Tep is exemplary. The special effects are pretty terrible, but it manages to pull it off and it feels like an early-mid 80's horror movie.
One of the finest movies of last year.

[Super Laydock]

Since I cant walk on 1 leg, I'll just mention 3 of my favourite movies.

Trainspotting

Snatch

Southpark: Bigger Longer and Uncut


Just the first one's that came to mind. I felt obliged to mention Apcocalypse Now! too but I already named 3 movies. ...oh now I mentioned it anyway.

[freddiebamboo]

I love The Royal Tenenbaums and pretty much everything else by Wes Anderson - although Life Aquatic was slightly disappointing

[PFG 9000]

I'm not a huge fan of movies...at all...but at the risk of sounding like a troll I'll just shut up and list some good ones:

Aliens
Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Shawshank Redemption

LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring is probably my #1 favorite.

[benstylus]

I'm not so much into current movies (with a few notable exceptions), so here are a few of my favorite classics:

Swing Time (1936, starring Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers) is an endearing romantic comedy. I saw it on PBS many years ago and bought the DVD as soon as it became available.

I also like pretty much every Marx Brothers film, my two favorites being Room Service (1938) and A Day at the Races (1937)

Rear Window (1954, starring Jimmy Stewart) is probably the best suspense thriller of all time.

For animated films, my all time favorite is Miyazaki's Porco Rosso (1992) and coming in a close second is Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959).

Favorite indie film is Real Stories of the Donut Men (1997).

And my favorite film of all time is Josie and the Pussycats (2001, starring Rachael Leigh Cook). I never get sick of it. I know it's not any real landmark in filmmaking, but I absolutely love it and that's good enough for me.

[Diabollokus]

[captain ahar]

again can't pick just one
UHF-fucking funniest fucking movie ever, if i had a larger attention span my avatar would be a gif of him dropping the dog in the punch bowl... with pirate hats superimposed over both their heads

Ed Wood is great. "Do you reject satan and all his empty promises?" "Sure."

The Professional is amazing. it just bleeds awesome. jean reno is the man period.

many others but i'll stop now. ooh they live is great too, but its "goodness" is probably debatable to some sad, sad people.

[Marc]

Teh Golden Child... 'You give me the boy, and I'll give you the knife -Then no one will have to get killed... just like that' - fucking classic.

Myself:

Chasing Amy - The scene with Hooper X talking Star Wars kills me. And Jay wasn't overly goofy as in Mallrats and Strike Back - always a bonus.

The Butterfly Effect
Shawshank Redemption
E.T.
The Entity
Fargo

Ah, I forget, I got a terrible memory when it comes to films. I watched 'The jacket' recently though, which I was pleasantly surprised by.

[JBC]

I saw The Jacket too - but it wasn't really my thing. It was interesting and all but really... bland.

[SheSaidDutch]

Taxi Driver-De Niro as psychotic loner Travis Bickle
Scarface
Serpico
Scarecrow- Al(Francis) scene at the fountain when he sucommes to his catatonic schizophrenia illness while holding the child in his arms.
