It's been interesting to see what type of music everyone is into. How about movies????

Fight Club, The Shining, True Romance, Star Wars, Dumb and Dumber, Momento, Happy Gilmore, Groundhog Day, Pulp Fiction, Fifth Element..... too many to list, but these are some that I'm into lately. How about you?

Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Kevin Smith is a comedic genius.. All Adam Sandler movies are great, but lets talk movies like, Goodfellas, Casino, Blood In Blood Out, Menace II Society, American Me, First Time Felon..

[Tim_Cranwill]

I just watched "Six Degrees Of Separation" (Will Smith, Donald Sutherland, Stockard Channing)

I hated every second of it! I must say, that is THE worst movie I've ever seen. Stupid dialogue. Phony characters and an unfinished story.

Sorry to go off like this, but I just wasted 2hrs of my life watching Rizzo in the most pathetic attempt to be clever...ever!

And I chose to watch this over The Shining....

[Scotty Allen]

Quest for Fire, Apocalypse Now, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Debbie Does Dallas, Dances With Wolves, Night of the Living Dead (original ed.), all the Dracula movies with Bela Lugosi, The Rocky Horror Show, Taboo, Woodstock, Andy Warhol's versions of Dracula and Frankenstein, Crash (an all time favourite), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original ed.), Little Shop of Horrors (original ed.), Deep Throat, Road House? (I think that was the title, with Jeff Healey in it)..........

[josefg]

Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13, Con Air, Braveheart, Count of Monte Cristo, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Mummy, all Indiana Jones movies, Blade 1, Spiderman, the classic Star Wars (not the new ones), Gone in 60 seconds.......

[corr]

Spidey will go down in history as one of the greatest. I LOVE that movie!

Off the top of my head... The Shining, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Deliverance, Some Like it Hot, Unforgiven, Apocalapse Now, Moonstruck (don't laugh), The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and more recently, The Others...

[BIG SCOTT]

My all time favorite movies are American History X and Billy Madisson!

[sophia]

Oh God, I can't believe I forgot Stanley (sorry Stanley, you are missed)!!! That's a definate favorite, especially A Clockwork Orange and I must admit that I truly liked Eyes Wide Shut, but I could tell he wasn't directing. Still good though. And yes, Full Metal Jacket too, fabulous movie and Platoon (Adagio for Strings by Barber which is used in the movie, is one of my favorite pieces and is my fav by an American composer.)

Thanks for the memories Damien! Good Stuff!

pulp fiction
american history x
and yes tombstone

[Matt_K]

American History X is going to one of the classics when it comes to movies that deal with Racism. It got a lot of flack when it was in the theatres because of some of the scenes, but i think it was brilliantly written. I see some people also mentioned Stand By Me, i think i have seen that movie about 3000 times. Another great flick. Damien, you listed "The Warriors" I thought i was the only the one that remembered that movie, i was going to list then thought maybe no one would know it. Another great one.
