Devils Advocate

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Pirates of the Carriabean Trilogy

Twelve Monkeys

The Village

The Terminal

ummm loads more, but anything with a good story line, character development and a twist Never been bothered about special effects or "action"

I like David Lynch, Tim Burton and Woody Allen movies.. Especially Woody Allen, but his recent work kind of sucks. Oh and I love the Chronicles of Riddick ! It's not good as LOTR or POC for a sci-fi film, and will soon be a trilogy as well, I hope, but the landscapes are just fantastic

That's why it's "pretty much" anything Kevin Smith. Actually, I never bothered to see Jersey Girl.

Young Guns 1&2/ Star Wars all 6 /Pans labrynth /Spiderman2/ Serenity/ Princess Bride/ Gonnies/ Harry Potter/ Signs /Unbreakable

Aladdin.... watched it over and over when i was a kid, knew everyone's lines by heart...... never done that with any other movie, so that makes it my all time favorite.

These have already been mentioned.. Donnie Darko, Twelve Monkeys,LOTR,Gone with The Wind,Clerks, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club,Unbreakable and The Princess Bride .

Not mentioned yet(off the top of my head) are Shrek, The Secretary,Rocky Horror Picture Show,The Sixth Sense,Apocolypto, In the Cut and The Notebook sob.

Xanadu
Come on people, it is about the roller skating daughters of zeus that come out of a painting to the soothing tones of ELO. What more can you ask for?

We all share a love of Lost but when it comes to movies, our tastes are so varied. I think that we would have trouble going to the movies together as a group, I doubt we could find one movie that we all could agree on!

Let's see, from Shamballa's list, I agree The Incredibles is a pretty wild and funny pixar movie.

From 1337Jacqui's list I would have to go for Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas, Jack Skellington is so cool.

CF, your list is huge but I can only go for Lord of the Rings from your list. Though to be honest I have not seen hardly any of those movies you listed.

LJ, Jersey Girl??? Actually that is my second favourite movie of all time! I know that begs the question of what is my first favourite movie of all time. Now that is easy to answer, every other movie apart from Jersey Girl.

Stitch a wonderful choice of movies ... sorry, oops, that was my list.

SP, you have a really broad range of fav movies, but out of your selection I could only go for Captain Jack Sparrow.

Eda, I too love Tim Burton, so that is the many I take from your list. The corpse bride was so cool and spooky.

Vincent wow great taste, I am torn between Spidey2 and all the HP movies, and Goonies and Star Wars and young Guns. Top selection!

Puchita, Do you trust me? I love Aladdin and think that a whole new world is the most amazibg sequence ever, and always remember bee yourself. lol

WTF, Shrek does it for me and also can cope with The Princess Bride.

Still a pretty diverse taste in movies! But that is good diversity is neat, but if we were to have a movie night, then we would have to go to a huge multiplex to keep everyone happy.

Banana's have to agree with you on your sole movie. Not because I like it or have even seen it, I haven't but it stars Olivia and as she is a fellow aussie, it gets my thumbs up. Though I think the Americans are getting a bit tired of all the Aussies in Hollywood!



Stitch

Oh stitch i feel like you speak my language holmes!


I personally like Prince Ali and Friend Like Me, and I always played Iago when we reenacted scenes. drawing blank as far as lines go.... but play that mug and I'll make you feel like i wrote the thing.
