It's a close one between "Aliens" and "Terminator 2: Judgement Day"

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 made me cry harder than Forrest Gump did, so I'd say it's up there. The Fifth Element is probably my favorite movie, though.

Ben Hur (1959). That was a great movie. It's a shame the most recent remake was terrible.

Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino. Awesome preformances, great story, near perfect dialogue and dark humor combined with strong violence.

The best in yerms of influence would probably be Citizen Kane. My favorite though is Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro. So well done, and captures this magical fairy tale while still being dark and gritty.

Princess Bride, for more memorable lines and scenes

for serious fare, I deeply respect The Shop on Main Street

can't watch this one, makes me think of watching it in middle school and having to take notes. but it was crafted with love, I'm sure.

Oh you should definitely see it. It's a great movie.

Zootopia, Kill Bill volume one, Deadpool, Casablanca and, Airplane! come to mind.

by **Stellar Colonies** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 11:13 am

Arrival made me think deep about the nature of reality and still confused me after the second viewing, which is the kind of movie I like.

So I think it's up there.

I can agree with most of these.

Depending on my mood at the time, I would have to go with either Clockwork Orange or Dr. Strangelove. The former was more original and had a better score, while the latter was simply hilarious.

that's fair. I usually have the same mood regarding movies; if Bruckheimer produced it, it will be good

by **Democracy of California** » Sun Dec 17, 2017 11:23 am

Anything by Stanley Kubrick. 2001 Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, the Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon, Dr. Strangelove, etc

Best movie ever.

The singing is phenomenal and it is a very emotional movie.

It's definitely not your typical rom-com either, and the way the story is told is unique, since it does not take place in chronological order. To quote Wikipedia "all of Cathy's songs begin after they have separated and move backwards in time to the beginning of their courtship, while Jamie's songs start when they have first met and proceeds through their crumbling marriage."

So the movie actually begins and ends with the same scene, which is where Cathy returns to her apartment to find that Jamie has left her. The Last Five Years is definitely a very unique and intense film.

In my opinion, this is the best movie I've ever watched, and I'm still salty it didn't win the Oscar it deserved. It was absolutely wonderfully executed and, watching it with friends, it literally made me want to get up from my seat in the cinemas... and dance! Now, not everyone is a fan of romantic comedies, or even musicals, but this is one movie I'd recommend to anyone.

2001: A Space Odyessy

Not only was it a cinematic feat (especially for its time) but probably one of, if not the most imortant Sci-Fi films of all time. 'Nuff said

If I had to put mine into a top 7, it would go
Armageddon
Air Force One
Con Air
Face/Off
Airplane!
The Rock
The Fugitive

Airplane! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bow:

Others include National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation which I liked better than the original Vacation, The Sting, Avatar, and The Imitation Game.

NLCV is an.. interesting choice. I wouldn't have thought of it.

I can understand the rest, though. fair enough.

Layer Cake is pretty bloody good. As is Die Hard.

Parts of that are quite good.

A terribly unfunny film. Completely and utterly over-rated. Very obvious gags. Consists of nothing but gags. Lack the basic ingredients of comedy, i.e. the defeat of expectation and timing.

Mega Mexico wrote:Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino. Awesome preformances, great story, near perfect dialogue and dark humor combined with strong violence.

Only the sequence with Bruce Willis is entertaining. The rest are... well, the director's love letter to himself (hence why he casts himself in it).

By all means have a non-linear film... as long as you make the bits you've stuck out of order worth watching by themselves.

Good music in parts though.

What is the best movie ever?
