its easier than you think, just take a stroll around your domain and grab some paper and a pen...see those movies youve got nicely stacked next to your T.V?....start writing them down,..youll be amazed how fast your list will grow.

[David-kyo]

My all-time favourites? Basically everything made by Tarantino.

[Gobbler]

Yeah that's definitely some good taste alright.

[Spoon Poetic]

I'll give it a try. They're not really in any sort of order except for, the order in which I can think of them - which I guess does give you a sort of idea of what I like better, since I remember it first, but it's still not concrete... Yeah... Anyway.

Labyrinth
The Dark Crystal
The Storyteller (really this is a collection of the episodes of a Henson television series that only lasted a season, but I love it)
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I love Gene Wilder, I love Roald Dahl, I love Technicolor... )
Rent
The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version)
Mulan
The Lion King
Aladdin
Pan's Labyrinth (I finally saw it!)
Pirates of the Caribbean
V for Vendetta
Star Wars OT
Jumanji
Toys
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Princess Bride
Indiana Jones movies
Dogma
Nightmare Before Christmas
Waking Ned Divine
The Neverending Story
Willow
Bend It Like Beckham (you have to know a good bit about Indian culture to understand the inside jokes in this one)
Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Young Frankenstein
Beetlegeuse
Gattaca
Men in Black
Independence Day
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python's Meaning of Life (though I'd rather just watch Flying Circus)
O Brother, Where Art Thou


Can't think of any more.

Some of the movies are favorites more for the nostalgia and the memories I have attached to them than the actual greatness of the movie (i.e. The Neverending Story).



(Edit: Forgot a movie)

The Terminator Trilogy (soon to be Quadrilogy)

wow!..really? Terminator 4??.

do you have any links with the story on this at all?
if so, pleeease post a reply in this thread.

hopefully T4 wont suck as much as Mostow's take did. but isnt Arnie getting too old for the role?, or are they going to have a CG Arnie in there? Maybe they could use a different actor?, perhaps The Rock or Vin Diesel or even John Travolta

wait!...NO...Not John Travolta!...DOH!!!..........



"GO GREASE LIGHTENING,..YOURE BURNING UP THE QUARTER MILE!!,..GREASE LIGHTENING...GO!!,..GREASE LIGHTENING!!!!!!"

[Gobbler]

Oh dear, you got me rollin' all over the floor laughin' there.

So...

wow!

Indeed.

..really?

Really.

Terminator 4??.

Yup.

do you have any links with the story on this at all? if so, pleeease post a reply in this thread.

Sure, sure. Let's see.

Wikipedia's your friend.
IMDB is also nice.

It's rumoured that Mostow will be in charge again - bleh. Same rumour said that "Aktschn Arnie" won't be in it - huzzah... bleh.

I just hope that there'll be a good John Connor this time, dunno how Edward Furlong would act today, but he sure was good in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Too bad they didn't let him act in part 3 because of his personal problems...

[sesame_street_hustler]

as long as T4 doesnt have that skank, Claire Danes in it, I'm game for it.

[civilian_number_two]

Agh. I know this isn't supposed to be a thread about the Terminator, but Claire Danes was the best thing about T3. She was acting her ass off in a movie with no script. The story was ludicrous, and the sci-fi broke all of the established rules of the series.

T3, even despite Claire Danes, is the worst science fiction sequel of all time.
