Whats ur Top 5 Movies,Games?

[Immryr]

I'm surprised at the lack of super metroid. I know it's a cliche pick, but man, what a game!

Police Story is a film I had to turn off half-way through because I was so bored. Can't exactly remember what put me off because it was a long time ago now. I usually love Jackie Chan movies. Maybe I need to try and watch it again.

1. Terminator 2
2. Jurassic Park
3. Cape Fear (1991)
4. Hadashi no Gen
5. Offret

1. Ninja Gaiden (2004)
2. Biohazard Code: Veronica
3. Battle Garegga? Rayforce?
4. Actraiser 2? The Super Shinobi? Contra The Hardcorps? Alien Soldier?
5. Civilization IV

Police Story is a film I had to turn off half-way through because I was so bored. Can't exactly remember what put me off because it was a long time ago now. I usually love Jackie Chan movies. Maybe I need to try and watch it again.

With the exception of Armour of God - although it's not without similar weaknesses - all old Jackie Chan films get boring between the fight sequences because they're mostly improvised, unscripted slapstick that has no relevance to the plot. They get tiring very easily. I think you can only judge JC films on their action sequences, and if we're doing that Police Story is fucking amazing. Wheels on Meals has one of the best final fights of all time, but the actual movie is garbage and there's very little actual action prior to the castle climax.

I love Armour of God, I think it's really got some great stuff in there, but for raw amaze Police Story is really untouchable. Just got to judge on the good stuff and ignore those hours of silly filler.

Yeah I don't expect more than good action sequences from HK action films. And that's perfectly all right with me; I must have watched about 50 chinese films or so that were pretty much rubbish in terms of plot, but which I still LOVED because of three or four perfectly directed action scenes... But the thing with PS was just that -- the action didn't impress me. All I remember was stupid slapstick. It was several years ago I tried to watch it and was immensly disappointed, because it was one of the JC classics I had missed when I was hardcore into HK action and I expected pure bliss. Right now I feel a bit inspired to give it another shot though.

Movies:
1 Hard Boiled
2 Project A
3 From Russia With Love
4 The City of Violence
5 Youth of The Beast

Games:
1 Final Fantasy VI
2 Wing Commander III
3 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (PC version)
4 Roller Coaster Tycoon
5 Sim City 3000

These are not in order, just the ones I think of most.

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

phew that old question... fucking difficult to answer, but I'll try.

in no particular order:

films:
- Tokyo Fist (Tsukamoto)
- Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
- Kiki's Delivery Service
- Hard Boiled
- Sonatine (Kitano)

games:
- Zelda III
- Super Mario World
- Indiana Jones 4
- Dodonpachi Daioujou
- Mushihimesama Futari

[system11]

Movies:
Rollerball (1975)
The Big Lebowski
Robocop
Ghost In The Shell
Double Indemnity

Games:
Midnight Club 2
Star Wars (Atari 1983)
Phantasy Star Universe
Bioshock
Metro 2033

The games one is so, so difficult, ask me tomorrow for a different list.

[trap15]

Games:
1) 40% Thunder Dragon 2
2) 38% J.J. Squawkers
3) 11% Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon
4) 06% Nin2-Jump
5) 05% Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX

I think this is about right. The percentages are just arbitrary score division between them out of 100 to show preference. So TD2 and JJ are very close to each other, and quite far ahead of Panel de Pon.

Film:
Don't have enough backing to make a list that's not embarrassing.

[chempop]

I forgot Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[Never_Scurred]

Glad to see Hard Boiled getting some love in here.
With that being said, Anyone with Tokyo Fist, Gummo, The Fifth Element, or The Thing in their top 5 is someone I would love to have a drink with.

[chempop]

they live

I think I watched this once when I was 7 and it freaked me out badly. It’s a suppressed memory

Just recently rediscovered it and LOVED IT!!!

[system11]

And then I remembered The Big Lebowski is a thing I love. I can see my list changing frequently for the next few days.

[1up]

yeah, it was a tossup for me between donnie darko and the big lebowski.

And They Live IS awesome. Been a fan since I watched it as a kid. I really dig the idea with the aliens living among us and the whole mindcontrol thing. Also Keith David and the late Roddy Piper battling 5+ minutes because Keith refuses to put on a pair of sunglasses is just great. I love everything about that movie.

[MR_Soren]

No particular order, probably forgetting stuff, picks could change daily:

Movies:
Fight Club
Mad Max: Fury Road
Godfather
Dodgeball
Castle in the Sky


Games:
Super Mario Bros. 3
Warsong / Langrisser
Dark Souls
Battle Garegga
Ultima: Quest of the Avatar

Indiana Jones (original trilogy...not too hot on the second one)
Akira (I know...6...but I don't care)

Glad to see Hard Boiled getting some love in here.

Hard Boiled is about as good as it gets for all out shooting action. So not hard to see it in here. I'd have put The Fifth Element on if I have not seen it near 50 times. My dad would watch it on tv each time it would come on at one point. Its good, but not that good. lol

[DMC]

Personal favourites, I could not resist some nostalgia picks:

Films
Rosemarys Baby
The Tenant
Heat
Pulp Fiction
Conspiracy

(although Twelve Angry Mean is damn close to Conspiracy in terms of morbid entertainment. Any other movie like these two you recommend, dialogue and character-focused round table discussions. I know the german Wannseekonferenz is pretty good too)

Games
Shining the Holy Ark
Alien Soldier
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Player Manager 2 (Anco, Swedish edition)
Battle Garegga

[null1024]

in no particular order
Movies:
- Die Hard
- Terminator 2
- Dr. Strangelove
- The Road Warrior
- Ghost in the Shell

there's a couple things that barely missed the cutoff like Castle in the Sky and the first Iron Man movie

Games:
- The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match
- Shadow Dancer [Genesis]
- Ridge Racer Revolution
- Ridge Racer 2 [PSP]
- RayForce

other runners up are Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Omega Boost, and Starfox 2
Mars Matrix would be there but I haven't played it in forever, so it's clearly not a favorite.
