Thing 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 My favourite film has to be The Shining. I've watched it a million times and it still creeps me out. It's not bad for being made in the 70s anyway, but I just do not see why it is an 18 rating? I watched it first when I was about thirteen and I did not find it incredibly scary or anything.There's quite a few differences in the movie than in the book. There's no maze in the novel's Overlook Hotel, so the chase between Jack and Danny is done on the top floor of the hotel - which is barely mentioned in the movie.Another thing that is barely mentioned is the hotel's history. Yeah, you see Grady, Jack talks to him about what Grady did but that's about it.The hauntings going on in the Hotel are sort of justified really badly in the movie. The hotel owner states that The Overlook resides on an indian burial ground. Like, how many US horror stories have that in them?Sorry if I ruined a few things for a few people, but I've only mentioned things briefly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hippiman 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 It's too hard to choose just one favorite.It's pretty hard to even pick a favorite for each genre, too.Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, all the Monty Python movies, the Ace Ventura movies, Kung Fu Hustle, and Shaolin Soccer are some of the best spoofs; the Star Wars movies are the best space movies, and they're some of the best for the whole good vs. evil thing; IT, Child's Play, the Saw movies, and maybe even The Others are some of the best for horror; Shrek, the Final Fantasy movies, and Toy Story(because it was one of the first), are some of the best animated movies; and there are too many really good just plain comedy movies to even fit on this post.There are a lot of movies I can't even fit in one genre that are really good, too, like Pulp Fiction, or the Fifth Element.I'm pretty sure I left a lot of my favorites out, because those are just the ones that I've seen recently, that I remember. There are a lot of good ones that I don't remember as good because I saw them so long ago.I think the only way you can choose a favorite movie is if you've only seen a few of them. There are too many good movies that you can't compare just because they're completely different, but they're still really good.That's the best I think I can answer the favorite movie question, unless I went to look up all the movies I know and watched them all over again.

GamerGlitch 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 I love comedy movies so I'm a fan of Happy Gilmore, and other related films. Usually any Adam Sandler comedy is a good bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenobi 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2007 I love movies and it's hard to choose which movie is the best but I would say that my favorite is Forrest Gump. I'm also a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of which the third part is visually the best movie i saw. I also like Spielberg's movies Saving Private Ryan, E.T., Minority Report, Jaws which are all classics. Another of my favourite directors is M. Night Shyamalan of whom i most like The Unbreakable, The Signs and The Village. Tim Burton's Batman, Big Fish, The Corpse Bride are also fantastic movies. And I shouldn't forget about Stanley Kubrick who made lots of good movies for example 2001: A Space odyssey and The Clockwork orange just to name some. Another great movies are The Machinist, Memento, Pan's labyrinth, American History X, Trainspotting, 21 grams, Indiana Jones, The Passion of Christ, City of God, The Ring, Sin City, 300 and lots of others =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galexcd 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 No offense, but I find somebody who's favorite film is a comedy to be kind of shallow. I mean, just because you laugh a bit doesn't make it a great film. Good directing, a great story, and good acting makes a good film in my opinion. I LOVE sci-fi so of course my favorite film is serenity, based on the original sci-fi series TV show Firefly. It's witty, has a great plot and the directing is absolutely beautiful.

.hack//GU 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2007 For me, right now my favorite was still Transformer. That couldn't be changed, at least until I find another more interesting film in the future. I love how they mix the full-CG mecha and the normal world's environment and they felt very nice.My friend asked me to see Resident Evil 3 :The Extinction sometime near, maybe that's a good film too for you who loved Resident Evil (videogame or film lover) too. Even I'm not too good with horror movie, I think this title will be a good one to view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damen 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 My all time favorite movie is "A night at the roxbury". It was one of the first funny movies I saw a long time ago, and actually got the jokes. Me and my cousin have the whole movie memorized and we quote the movie all the time without anyone knowing what the heck we are talking about. Doesn't really matter to us though.
