If you read the book it sucks they left out a whole lot of parts. But the special effects are pretty good.

I like all the good ones.

Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was getting tired of being stared at.

Oh come on! That was a GREAT movie!
You probably didn't see the special edition on DVD, which makes a lot more sense.

Matrix
Gone in 60 Seconds

By, "about Santa Claus," I meant a movie that portrays him as REAL. While this movie doesn't completely spill the beans, there's a ton of adult-humored hints through-out the movie that he doesn't exist.

And I agree with you Promethius! Contact kicked ass (anyone who dissagrees needs to get some fucking suround sound)!

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, DUH!

Alice in Wonderland, Sword in the Stone favorite Disney flicks. Toy Story 1/2 are good too. My favorite movie as a kid was The Neverending Story, great movie.

Matrix, Die Hard (Im partial to the latest one for some reason), Terminator 2. Waterworld, oh Wait! (Actually, when I saw this, I thought it was only mediocre...)

Dogma, Austin Powers 1/2, Amazon Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death...oh wait. There's Something About Mary. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Army of Darkness CHEESE AWARD! The South Park movie.

The Sixth Sense, American Beauty, Pleasantville, Braveheart. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Traffic. Godfather Saga. Dungeons & Dragons, oh WAIT.

Dark City, Akira, Princess Mononoke is good. Alien movies are good. Battlefield Earth, OOOHHH WAIIIIIT!!!! Hmm, we need more and better Sci-Fi...

Theres a bunch of other stuff that I like but that would make this list too unwieldy.

--Kintara

Gladiator, Ghostbusters 1/...2 too, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, The Usual Suspects, Men in Black, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, Silence of the Lambs. All these are from perusing the posts above.

UHF, Wierd Al ("STUPUUD, YOU SOO STUPUDD!")!

The ONLY fucking reason Hackers would even be considered is because of Angelina Jolie and the idea of her being attacted to someone as lame as the main character, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I like Sleepless in Seatle and When Harry Met Sally. Meg Ryan, I like her, what can I say?

--Kintara

I personally like Christina Ricci, so anything shes in.

Princess Bride.

That movie with Neve Campbelle where the guy is set up having an affair with a student but it gets more complicated, its set in Florida...

Apollo 13.

Again, I dont know why but I like that witch movie, The Craft. Something about the movie... Im fucked up I guess.

Instead of posting four times, Ill edit (Doh, i shouldve before but it slipped my mind). Fight Club, obviously.

also, i think we need to address something here. die hard 2 was not good. there are so many things wrong with it, that its just not enjoyable. first off, snow in d.c. in winter? unlikely. that much snow?? what the fuck are you smoking? that was probably my biggest complaint. i mean in the third one, they didnt have snow, because snow doesnt happen in new york in the summer. well snow doesnt happen here in winter, especially not on christmas...

oh yeah and why the hell do people say the exorcist is so scary (apparently voted the most scary movie ever). everyone who was in the cinema when i went to see it including me and this was a warner bros so it was a lot of people everyone was craking up not with fear but with histerics. it was like one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. of course when your watching it on your own its just boring and i switched over to another channel to watch the 5th element which is another damn great movie cos everything is so tongue in cheek yet at the same time slightly serious brilliant film

"You've soiled my dickey!"

That's a good thing.

Deckard is a fucking replicant to whoever it was that was asking and the Director's Cut makes it subtley clear (I had to avoid saying painfully clear because there's nothing painful about that movie, it's superduper). He dreams of the unicorn when he's at his piano in the second half of the film, I think. Anyway, he is, he is, he is, he is.

Best films:
Alien/Aliens Terrifying and absorbing, best action, best horror
Blade Runner Fantastic realistation of the future by Scott, Rutgar Hauer came up with one of the best couplets in movie hostiry
Pulp Fiction Intelligent, funny and exciting
Shawshank Redemption A proper feel good movie that just makes you smile
Leon See above
Others that I can't remember

Bad films:
Godzilla Nearly fell asleep\walked out
Batman and Robin Just awful, worse than Forever which is no mean feat
cheers

Not true. This is a point that was intentionally designed to provoke debate.

Perhaps his life is just consumed by tracking, hunting, and falling in love with replicants...to the point where it dominates his mind and begins to take over?

Did you know she turned down roles as Juliet in Romeo & Juliet (Another great movie), as Rose in Titanic (Admit it, this movie is also good), and the Vampire girl Claudia in Interview with the Vampire (also a good one)?

"You've soiled my dickey!"

--Kintara

The CIA should use her to interrogate people, any guy would fold instantly.

"What are you, gay?"
-Zap Brannigan

The unicorn sequence IS in the Director's Cut, that's partly what he did the DC for. The unicorn sequence is taken from Scott's flop Legend. It's completely fucking obvious when you look at everything in the film, I'm not going to go through it all now but all you need to do is see and hear what the other blade runner does and says in the film. Near the end of the film on the rooftop when Rutger Hauer dies, Gaff says "You've done a man's job" and he says "It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?" This is played over the top of Deckard finding the unicorn origami model outside his apartment aswell and you see Deckard nod his head as he understood what he suspected, that he's a replicant too. The reason the model is a unicorn and not a man, a chicken or anything bloody else is because Gaff knows that Deckard dreams of unicorns because he knows about what's been implanted into him as a replicant.

And if you want to argue with me some more about it would you kindly fuck off and ask Ridley Scott because he said at the end of a documentary on Blade Runner when they finally got around to talking about this subject that Deckard is a replicant.
cheers
