Top Ten Films of all Time!!
Susiebell:
What are your top ten films?
saucycobblers:
Films?? Now you're talking my language ;D
The 10 films I'd take to a desert Island, that i know I could watch over and over, that would get me through any mood imaginable are...
In no particular order...
Brokeback Mountain (well, duh...)
The Shawshank Redemption
The Bridges of Madison County
Saturday Night Fever
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Billy Liar
Mildred Pierce
Gallipoli
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
(But then again, how could i do without...
Wings of the Dove
Muriel's Wedding
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Alien
Rear Window
and so many more!
Only 10 - that is WAY harsh!! ;D)
Kd5000:
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN on so many levels
SOLARIS (!972) great philosophical science fiction
MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (original) shocking revelation, excellent suspense
CRASH, HAH! GOT YOU
VERTIGO, best Hitchcock film, it's been said that SOLARIS borrowed a bit from this film in so much as how real is a replica if she looks, talks, dresses likes the original.
HOWARDS END yep it humorless, but the characters are great. Like BBM, much use of symbolism. The old house represents England. The characters represent their respective class.
ROMEO AND JULIET (1968) the most popular Shakespeare film ever on cinema. It was a blockbuster and with good reason.
CHINATOWN great film noir. Complicated plot with a dark secret at the center. Acting doesn't get much better. Nicholson and Dunaway are great
BONNIE AND CLYDE. GReat gangster film. So much style for this sort of film. French new wave I think they called it.
2001, A SPACE ODYSSEY. The grandfather of science fiction film.
THE LITTLE FOXES. Older movie, based on the Lillian Hellman play. Greed in the Deep South. Betty Davis is at her best.
David In Indy:
TITANIC - I'm sorry. I absolutely LOVE this movie and I could watch it over and over again.
BENNY AND JOON - I totally agree with you Susie. I love this movie and I have the DVD. Johnny Depp was absolutely loveable in it. His character was so sweet, shy and gentle. Mary Stuart Masterson and Aidan Quinn were very good in the movie too. I felt so sorry for Benny (Aiden Quinn) when his goldfish died! :'( I can't help it. I feel so bad for him.
THE CORN IS GREEN I love both the 1946 version with Bette Davis and the 1979 version with Katharine Hepburn. I think I like the 1979 version a little more, because I am a HUGE Katharine Hepburn fan!
ON GOLDEN POND Brilliant movie!
HARRY POTTER ALL of them!
THE COLOR PURPLE This is another film I can watch over and over. Tragic, sad and beautiful. I have the DVD too!
FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL I love ANYTHING Hugh Grant is in! But this would be a very good movie even without him!
NOTTING HILL Surprise! Hugh Grant again! ;)
BELOVED Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover. SCARY!!!! It's a shame it did so poorly at the theater. The acting is brilliant. I have the DVD and I catch something new and different everytime I watch it.
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH Sean Penn was hysterical in this movie! I love it!
