Didn't see one of these in here, so yeah, figured I should take it upon myself to make one.

My new favorite movie would have to be Green sTreet Hooligans. Man do I love this movie. I can't get enough of it either, I can just keep watching it. The acting is just... you don't see acting like that anymore. Elijah Wood is just such a great actor; actually, all the actors in this movie were good, they had a really good cast. Then there's the fight scenes, I mean, I can just keep watching those over and over again. Ah... I wanna watch this movie again.

Anyway, what are your favorite movies?

Looking for Alibrandi?!?! You found the movie? OMG, I absolutely LOVED that book when I was a teenager. It's by an Australian author and I heard they made it into a film, but didn't think they had it in the States!!

that is probably my favorite movie of all time

Im a big Nick Cage fan, and I like Travolta, and John Woo aint too bad either!

- Drama -
Dead Poets Society: No one flim has had more of an impact on me. Great writing, great twist, great message. Forever I shall sound my barbaric YAWP from the rooftops of this world.

Memphis Belle: Saw it with my grandfather, a decorated WWII veteran who both flew on and worked on the bombers, a mere three weeks before he passed. Saw it at the Cine Capri in Scottsdale while it was still up. Was once the largest screen in the West. One of my fondest memories.

Hoosiers, The Natural, Rudy and Rocky: Four sports movies I could never live without. Still get chills at the end of each.

- Action -
The Bourne Series: Loved the first, liked the second very much, but love aspects of it. Great car chase scenes. Great fight scenes. Great twists. That and I have a thing for Lola :D

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, True Grit, Tombstone: Each western is entertaining from beginning to end. Great quips in each.

Fight Club: Not since Tombstone did one film have so many great oneliners. Great acting, with everything a mna would want in a film.

Fear: This movie was one of the first movies I saw over 100 times. May have been the first. Loved Reese and Allysa and thought Wahlberg was a god in the film. Everything I wished I was. Damn I wanted to be a criminally insane heartbreaker who gets crushed on goes on a stalking/killing rampage... btw, any ladies reading this, my number is 555-3467... call me :)

- Comedy -
Spaceballs, SuperTroopers, Billy Madison: Supremely clever and flawless in delivery.

Animal Crackers, Duck Soup, The Tramp, Dr. Strangelove...: The Marx Brothers films are always fun. Crackers and Soup just are that much better. As good as any comedy I've ever seen. The Tramp was great fun. Dr. Strangelove has as many memorable scenes as big laughs and both are abundant.
