Hey, everyone.  

It's probably been done to death, I know. Sorry about that. But seems as I'm new here, what better way to get acquainted with a forum full of film buffs than this.

So, what're your all time, favourite films? Feel free to list as many as you want.

Just in case anybody cares, here's a few of mine...

1. Mysterious Skin
2. Fargo
3. Super
4. In Bruges
5. The Loved Ones

Hey Levon, welcome to SS!  

Nice icebreaker, Fargo is an amazing film.  I haven't seen the bottom three on your list, what makes them your favs?  Might have to check them out...

Johnny

The Loved Ones is twisted.  A must-see.

As for me, I'm a fan of The Passion of the Christ.  Most profound and significant movie ever made.

Then there's I Saw the Devil, Oldboy, No Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance.

All great filmmaking in their own right.

Welcome to the boards, Levon.

Here are some of my favorites:

Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Paris, Texas
An American Werewolf in London
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Thanks, Johnny.

Well, Super is a superhero/black comedy. It's similar to Kick-Ass but IMO, a lot more witty, and a lot more touching. I don't know if you're in Britain, but if you are, it's on Film4 quite frequently.

In Bruges is a black comedy/crime/drama. The two main characters, Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and Ray (Colin Farrell) are really well written. It's really just a funny, charming, well-written, well-acted, well-directed film. Farrell even won a Golden Globe for his performance in this.

The Loved Ones is an Australian horror/comedy. It's a lot like Stephen King's Misery. Just a lot more OTT and satirical. I also really liked the set design, bit random, I know. Just a warning, it's pretty gory, brutal, and... weird, sometimes, so if you're easily offended, I'd give it a miss haha.

What are some of your favourites?   

Hey, Silverback.

Never actually seen Passion of the Christ. I think there's a film that's similar called 'The Stoning of Soraya M.'. I didn't have the stomach to watch it myself...

I've seen Oldboy, it was an experience haha. How do you feel about the remake? Hate to be judgemental, but can't help feeling it's gonna be another Hollywood revenge flick. Haven't seen the others, unfortunately. :/


Hi, Crooked.

Nice list. I've only seen Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas and An American Werewolf so I can't comment much on the others. I don't know if your familiar with the documentary 'Room 237', but it explores the theory that Kubrick may have helped fake the moon landings. Quite extraordinary stuff. Anyway, it goes into some detail about 2001, might be something you'd be interested in if you haven't seen it already.

I think it'll be all right, but probably won't hold a candle to the original.  Oh well.   Yeah, The Stoning of Soraya M. was definitely harsh.  I wanted to reach inside the TV and rescue her when she was getting stoned to death.  

Thanks for the info, sounds like good flicks.  I'll check them out for sure.

As for my favs, well... it is what it is.  My all time favorite film, Dr. Strangelove, is in category by itself with Unforgiven directly below it.  Others ones are

Purple Rain
Fargo
The Shining
The Last Dragon
Goodfellas

It sounds like Kubrick's popular round here, haha. The Shining? You should definitely watch 'Room 237' then. Really interesting!

Nice to see Fargo up there too!

"The heck d'ya mean?"

Hey Levon, welcome! Great way to introduce yourself, and anyone who includes In Bruges in their list of favourite films is alright by me

Some of my favourite films, in no particular order are:

- City of God
- In Bruges
- La Haine
- Oslo, August 31st
- Gone, Baby Gone
- The Lives of Others

... Yes, I'm aware that's six

Quoted from oJOHNNYoNUTSo I haven't seen the bottom three on your list, what makes them your favs?  Might have to check them out...

If you haven't seen In Bruges, I cannot recommend it highly enough from a screenwriter's perspective, as the dialogue in the film is some of my favourite ever committed to the page.

Welcome to the boards, Levon.

You've got some nice choices there.

My favs:

1. Swingers
2. Pulp fiction
3. No Country for Old Men
4. Zodiac
5. 12 Angry men

Kubrick is popular around here?

Looks like I'll be Netflixin'

Sheesh, top 5 is hard for me. I have so many favs but to narrow it down...

I'd def rank The Shawshank Redemption right up near, or at the top for sure. The rest I'll have to think on.

Seems like the Coen Brothers are popular round here too. Just watched Miller's Crossing last night. Another great Coen flick. And as you can tell by my avatar I'm a fan.

Hi, all!

Toby - The Lives of Others is in my Netflix list as we speak, I better get round to watching it. And I totally agree about the dialogue.

DV44 - Love No Country! Javier Bardem is so badness in it. I just searched Zodiac, sounds good with Fincher directing, i'm sure it is

It's nice to see the Coen's are so popular. Burn After Reading is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated films they've done, so anyone who's a fan, check that out if you haven't already. Same with A Serious Man.

Thanks for all the replies guys, keep 'em coming

Mean Streets
Goodfellas
The Roaring Twenties
The Big Sleep


Were the first to come to mind....
