Celebrating the Best and the Worst of Cinema

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

So movies in one form or another have been around since the [url="http://www.earlycinema.com/timeline/index.html"]early 1900s[/url]. So in everyones opinion what are your favorite films? It doesn't have to be in any particular order.

What's your favorite genre? Do you have a favorite director/actor/writer?

Or is there some movies that you just want to trash.

I'm just a big film nut and I hope there are many others out here on NSG.

Dumb Ideologies - NSG is argument porn
Greater Cabinda - You are the Drunken Master.
Nanatsu no Tsuki - Titty... titties are so beautiful.
Ailiailia - It's Minoriteeburg, our cheap substitute for Drunk Commies.
The Blaatschapen - Now, if there exists a person with two penises, he can shave the pubes of the right one that way. If he then gets an erection he could say he's doing a Nazi salute.

Genre: What I watch the most of are action flicks, because they're good for low-brain evenings. I like well-plotted dramas (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Lion in Winter) more, and it's hard to beat a penetrating documentary like Fog of War.

Director: I have nearly everything Kurosawa directed. Ridley Scott's done some good work (Blade Runner, Gladiator), but he's got more misses than hits in my book, and he's kept trying to re-shoot Gladiator with different window-dressing (The Kingdom of Heaven,Robin Hood), which is just sad. And some guy did a trilogy about a bunch of short guys and a bit of jewelry which wasn't bad either. :)

Random favorites: Flying People, Hidden Wires Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kung Fu Hustle (I have a certain weakness for parody), Das Boot, and the obscure documentary Air Guitar Nation.

Edit: and some real brain candy: The Empire Stikes Back, and the 1980-something remake of Flash Gordon.

Das Boot....4 and a half hours of greatness (if you watch the directors cut) :D
