Favorite movies

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

I wanna know some people's fav movies and genres.I'll have to think about mine.

[Mr.Y]

Hmmmm, definitely Gladiator as a first. Enter the Dragon, The Mummy, Coming to America, and others are really good. And al the Star Wars too.

[Lantra]

the legend of bagger vance but crouching tiger hidden dragon comes in a close second.

[Dakkan Blackblade]

Three favorite movies in order...

1. Half Baked... man, I don't have words on how awesome this movie is.

2. Gladiator... Come on, there's everything, got the sex, ass kicking, killing old people, killing old people...

3. Head of the Family... RENT IT FROM BLOCKBUSTER! The funniest movie I have ever seen. There is made action in that movie!

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

I guess I don't have exactly the same taste as you guys because I like more cult classics and wierd, surreal movies.My favorite genres are probably horror and dark comedy.(but I like anything good)heres just a couple
Barton Fink (Great Coen dark comedy/drama.)
Parents(Anybody seen this?A rare surreal horror from 1989)
Wolf man(A classic!)
Evil dead 1,2,3(2's the best!)
The Abomable Dr. Phibes(funny horror)
A Bucket Of Blood(Roger Corman surreal horror cheapie.)
Little shop of horrors(old and remake)
Oh, brother, where art though?(More Coen madness)
War of the roses(dark dark dark comedy)
Nightmare before Christmas(Best Disney movie)
Nurse betty(disturbing comedy)
There are many more but I'll start with this.
Anyone seen the parents?

wicket is the best, and features the sick at st

SW: A NEW HOPE
firsts are a killer, important to the story. Though last of the trilogy

MATRIX
i know practically everything about matrix and Tank is the best!!!!

FIFTH ELEMENT
bruce willis + future + action + aliens = bad ass movie!!

XMEN
i love xmen, though it was only the start and had not much chars' but still a top movie.

PITCH BLACK
man that movie really rocked. I love the bit when the big creature came up to him and he punched it between the eyes.

last out of the 4, i dislicked it

CONTACT
Not really a good alien movie. But has the best story ever.

The best story that i have ever seen. I think that is is a total mad classic. I love cornelius but he gets sho by that stupid bastard. Ceasure is a cool character too. Oh yeah and i am gonna be the first to watch the new POTA movie it looks sweeeet

JURASIC PARK
no. 1 is the best ever. Grant kix ass!!
