Re: What is your favorite movie?
My oh my, Fred got some of my faves in his list. I'd add, in no particular order, Sorcerer an amazing adaptation of a novel with a brilliant soundtrack, Blade Runner again a magnificent adaptation and a mind-blowing soundtrack, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre which is a classic "descent into madness"(see Sorcerer), Pink Floyd's The Wall which is truly disturbing to sensitive psyches, Dr. Strangelove, and Mel Brooks' hilarious Young Frankenstein. Honorary kudos go to The Blues Brothers, Back to the Future III, and Tron.
Casablanca stands alone.

Lord of the Rings, brilliant and very close to the books.
Re: What is your favorite movie?
I 'hate' all these "favorite" questions -- much too limiting. One relatively unknown movie I found that had a lot of subtle and indirect messages of merit was mostly panned by the "experts": The Gods Must be Crazy. It's sequel was OK, but not so full of social commentary.

Re: What is your favorite movie?
I can't really comment on favourite movies as I don't go to the cinema. However, it is worth analysing the term 'expert'.
EX = has been
(s)pert = drip under pressure!!

I wouldn’t like to have to choose a favourite, but Withnail & I is worth a mention.
Re: What is your favorite movie?
Split decision between "The third man" and "Kind hearts and coronets."
Re: What is your favorite movie?
G'day.. Too many to mention here ...I'm a movie nutcase ...don't know where to start but one I haven't watched for ages and forgot how good it was is
Independence Day (1996) , not the second one in 2013
Will Smith , Randy Quaid , Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman , Judd Hirsch, Mary McDonnell and more...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t1IK_9apWs
Bill Pullman's inspirational speech before the attack on the aliens , Russell Casse as he knows he's going to die .. "Payback's a ***** .ain't it ? and "Hello boys ...I'm back " Will Smith... "NO , you aint spreading that green s..t on me " .. So good .. Too bad the second one many years later basically sucked .. Last night on TV was "Hard Day'sNight " The Beatles.. Great to see again and so much legendary music too... Cheers ..

Re: What is your favorite movie?
But the second was, nevertheless, enjoyable. With movie franchises there may be a big drop in quality between the first and the second.Faldaguy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:01 am I 'hate' all these "favorite" questions -- much too limiting.

Re: What is your favorite movie?
Noticed that quite a few people on YouTube have reacted to It's a Wonderfull Life.
