Mine are Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan, although I havn't seen Enemy at the Gates yet, which looked quite good. If you don't like these, then you can go fuck yourself.
Posted by j0eSmith on Apr. 17 2001,17:10
I agree wholeheartedly.

The Hunt for Red October is another personal favorite of mine, as well as BraveHeart.

first... what did you like about hackers? I mean... it was truely lame. It sucked the almighty suckhood of suckage, it sucked so sucking sucker suck-suck bad.

My fave of all time would have to be Flesh... only 5 copies in the whole world, so I doubt you've heard of it... It was a combination of small "films" (the longest segment was 15 minutes, roughly). It was a horror film, but not nessarily because of the sheer gore (and i mean gore. Sawed off shotgun in a guys mouth makes a mess...), or the sudden jumps, but because it really made you put yourself in the movie...

like one part was of this 9 year old girl. She ran away from this sleepover, cuz the girls were either making fun of her or were playing a game (that was part of the horror, the segments just started with no story), and she ran home. She didn't want her mom to know she was there, so she hid in her closet. Then her mom came in her room, cut open part of her bed matress, and put some stuff in it. The girl was curious so she walked over to the bed, opened it up, and found her father, who went missing 5 years before, taking the "long sleep" in her matress... the mom was putting popouri (spelling?) in the matress to cover the smell...

Damn it, why do people think that Fight Club is so good? What, because it's got clever little injokes it's supposed to be the best movie ever. It's good but it's a bit stupid. I just switched off when I saw the CCTV shots of Norton running through the carpark just flying around the place because he's supposedly hitting himself.

Question:
You see some little gimp trying to hit himself outside a bar what do you do?
a) Avoid like the plague
b) Stand around to find out who wins
c) Ask if you can join in and then tell all your friends about how cool it is to watch some guy trying to hit himself and then join a club based around hitting youself.

And why are people listing about fifty films? It's favourite films not films you like. If you honestly mean that all those films are your favourite then fine but I just can't really imagine d00d sitting around on a Saturday and thinking "Hmm I think I'll watch '8 heads in a duffel bag'"

You don't have to pay any attention but if you were sent to a desert island and could only take one film with you what would it be (or three if you really are that indecisive (obviosuly PersonGuy isn't, he's got them in a chart!))?

I'm gonna have to go for three films because I'm a finnicky fuck:

Aliens
Leon
Shawshank Redemption

Actually can I ask L33T_h4x0r_d00d why his favourite Alien films are Aliens and Ressurection? Do you actually not like Alien?
cheers
