The Wolfman believes you can tell a lot about somebody by the movies they watch. So here is the question:
What is your favorite movie?
Please choose only 1 movie and include a link to the IMDB database so we can all view info about your pick.
I will start:
My favorite movie of all time is:
I think my 2 fav that come to mind are
Crash
and
Million Dollar Baby (clint was brilliant......as was Hillary)
MLF
LOTR.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120669/
or Boondock Saints... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144117
damn... there are a lot I would like to name... but I am already breaking the rules by naming two...
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
The Dirty Dozen &
Ghostbusters (the original)
As far as the movie that I can watch over and over without getting sick of it, it would have to be http://imdb.com/title/tt0114814/ .
If you want a movie that is just a great piece of filmmaking, IMO, then I'm going with http://imdb.com/title/tt0093058/ .
There are countless others that I would consider among my favorites...The Godfather I and II, The Exorcist, 2001, Casino, Goodfellas, Scarface, The Departed, A Clockwork Orange, Suicide Kings, Harold and Kumar..., Animal House, anything written/directed by Quentin Tarantino, Office Space, The Big Lebowski, Super Troopers, Donnie Darko, Way of the Gun, Dr. Strangelove, The Ring, In the Mouth of Madness, The Devil's Rejects, Rounders, Boondock Saints, 40yo Virgin, Excalibur...and the list goes on and on. Very eclectic tastes, I know...
O
Hmm thats a hard one. I would have to say favorite movie of all time is Belly
http://imdb.com/title/tt0158493/
mmm i don't think i have a favorite "favorite" i have one in each genre, in comedy i really liked Accepted (2006), Drama ehmm A beautiful mind or The green mile, Thriller: The usual suspects.
The Wolfman is surprised the Matrix hasn't showed up yet :)
Since everyone is listing more then one movie, the Wolfman is going to add his second all-time favorite:
WOLFMAN'S GOT NARDS!!!!
The Monster Squad - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093560/
"Ghost in the darkness" and "Life of David Gale".
hrm...much to hard to decide on one. Ok, well I guess my #1 is...
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/
Couple other additional picks...
Dumb and Dumber is a classic great one too.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109686/
Enemy of the State ...just because of the technology
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120660/
Ack...there are so many to list.
Mine's Das Boot - http://imdb.com/title/tt0082096/
"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
(1964) Stanley Kubrick
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/
For the Kubrick fans out there. Have you seen the new Kubrick Collection DVD Set?
Stanley Kubrick Collection
There's so many good flicks. Some of my recent favs are:
Office Space
The Color of Paradise (Persian flick -- subtitles)
The Bourne series.
If you liked Das Boot, check out Stalingrad from the same director (subtitles). Also there's a movie out about the making of Dr. Strangelove, might be on the Kubrick DVD. It's a good background on the movie.
Also, check out Little Buddha, one of Keanu Reeves more obscure offerings. It's a nice offering largely about Tibetan Buddhism.
It's difficult for me to pick my favorite. However, many people above have already posted some of my favorites. Usual Suspects, Boondock Saints.
One that has not yet been mentioned is Donnie Darko.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/
I really like movies that make you think.
Momento is another one that is a must see.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/
Das Boot...see Negs link...
and Sand Pebbles... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060934/
Favorite film! Hard choice there.
Cant pick one but probably bladerunner, LOTR, Seven, Blairwitch1, Starship troopers, Eternal sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Dalek you only like das boot because it has a submarine in it :)).
Yeah and so?...fond memories, we didn't hang our food in the flats though,under my pillow yeah, the fittings going, well as long as we carried our spanners...:DQuote:

I watched Brazil last night. I forgot how good that movie is. Gattaca's up there too.
I've heard Das Boot panned by U-Boat vets in some documentaries. They said the sub didn't shake violently during a depth charge attack. The shaking certainly adds to the drama though. :)
They are of course right...technically it was the camera shaking the most...:D Otherwise it's the most accurate depiction of what life had to have been like for boatmen, and our boats weren't that far removed from the U-Boats, we had to copy someone....and the U-Boat designs were one of the best...:cool:Quote:

The Blues Brothers
and, as stated elsewhere, htere are far more titles I could add, but there are a lot of good choices above already
and some strange ones too ..............
I've never been able to pick one favorite. Or even two. You've doomed me on this thread!
So I'll give you what's stayed at the top of my list nearly all my life:
Transformers: the Movie
:D
I always had the impression most of the WWII German types were still using WWI technology. The Oberons weren't that old, were they? The Type XXI seemed to be the German's most modern, but coming too late for them. Nice site on the U-Boats:Quote:

Star Wars original trilogy, Anchor Man, Wargames, Sneakers, Christmas Vacation, Animal House, Enter the Dragon, Eulogy, Rocky series [except 5 and balboa], Lethal Weapon, Fight Club,Police Academy, Black Sheep, Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Airheads, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Walk the Line, Where the buffalo roam, and quite a few of the movies that have been listed by other members... these are some that I don't remember seeing in this thread... I could go on for quite a while... but I have to get up early, and have already stayed up too late. :)
