Saving Private seems to be on everyones list, and mine , its a kewl film, the end bit was the best part of the whole film

[synth]

It's a Wonderful Life (not my favorite, but it is a "classic")
Wizard of Oz (also a "classic")
Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
The Matrix

 

[Gojin]

Since it's too hard to narrow down --

Cohen Brothers films (Like The Big Lebowski!!!)
Kubrick films (Go 2001: A Space Odyssey, and FMJ, and A Clockwork Orange, etc.)
Tarantino films

And even though this is really a play, it's one of my favorite films
Death of A Salesman.

Edit: American Beauty was good too -- Saw it on someone's elses list and reminded me. And Apocalypse Now. And 24 - The Series.

 

[ROD]

My Top 10 - In no particular order

1. The Terminator (you know what its about)
2. Alien (marines fight aliens)
3. Bloodsport (Van Damme fights in a full-contact tournament)
4. The Matrix (you know what its about)
5. Gladiator (Maximus versus the caesar)
6. Predator (soldiers versus an evil alien)
7. True Lies (you know this one too)
8. Independence Day (ditto)
9. Saving Private Ryan (WWII film)
10. Forest Gump (the life of a normal person)

 

[SenorDingDong]

- Apocalypse Now
- Das Boot

[StarMonkey]

24 (well, if I can include BoB )
American History X

[papa jake]

My Top 5

1. Fight Club
2. Seven
3. Matrix
4. Matrix Reloaded
5. Natural Born Killers

 

[Sulkdodds]

Balde Runner
The Matrix
Apocalypse Now

 

[tHEmaCHInE]

1. Lord of the rings 1 and 2 ( beyond great/ masterpiece)
2. The Matrix ( well that can I say, it owned!)
3. The Royal Tenenbaums (pure genius/ very original)
4. Star wars/ Empire strikes back ( the others just fail badly)
5. Taxi Driver ( simply great )
6. Full Metal Jacket ( original take on Vietnam)


A movie you wont see on this list is The Matrix Reloaded, or Star wars Attack of the Clones.

For the Matrix Reloaded see
here


As for the The Attack of the Clones, it was visualy cool. But the story line was horribly written. Why does anakin talk like a robot through out the movie? Why does princess padme fall down from the pillars land on the back of that creature and then kiss anakin on the cheek?!! Wtf is that about, so lame! I'm not basing my opinion on just those things about the whole movie, i just don't want to talk about it anymore lol.

 

[Delicious Bass]

1- LOTR (all of them, even though ROTK isnt out yet)
2- Pulp Fiction
3- The Royal Tenenbaums
4- Fight Club
5- American Beauty
6- Akira (anime)
7- Gladiator
8- Wedding Singer (god I love that movie)
9- Monty Python and the Quest for The Holy Grail
10- X-men (all of them, even though there's only two out)

This list is not in order (X-men would be up higher if it was in order). Anyway, did anyone know their not just making 3 X-men Movies, their making 6! YEAH!!! Gotta love it

 

[smwScott]

In no real order:

Pulp Fiction
Saving Private Ryan
We Were Soldiers
Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars Trilogy
Rocky series
Resevoir Dogs

Probably a bunch more I cant think of.
