Top Favorite Films!
littleguitar:
I'm with you there Vic... I have way too many to list, and I would inevitably forget a ton of them then be on here every time someone else posted their list going "ooh ooh me too! I love that one too!" LOL I'm a wreck when it comes to movies...
nakymaton:
Hmmmm..
Brokeback Mountain
Lord of the Rings trilogy (RotK, then FotR, then TTT)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Wizard of Oz
Then some odd combination of things that might change depending on my mood. (Maybe Being John Malkovich, or maybe Spinal Tap, or maybe Thelma and Louise, or maybe something else I'm not thinking of at the moment.) The first four, though, I've bought on DVD, which says something.
I don't put any "classic movies" that I saw as an adult on my list, not because I don't like them, but because I've never seen them on a big screen, and my impressions of them are so completely influenced by knowing that they are "Great Movies" that I don't know if I can judge them fairly. (I saw The Wizard of Oz on a big screen when I was a small child, though, and loved it. And my Inner Five-Year-Old refuses to let anything else take its place on my top 5 list, although she grudgingly accepts that I prefer some other movies now.)

I agree, the only other movie as good as the original book. (Though of course they had to leave out a lot.)
And what is it going to take to get me to read "To Kill a Mockingbird?"

Clarissa, I *love* these, too:
--- Quote from: Ellemeno on April 18, 2006, 04:52:05 pm ---Lone Star
The Player
Parenthood
Grand Canyon
Desk Set
Crimes and Misdemeanors
The Straight Story
Lost in Translation
--- End quote ---
It was hard for me not to include Crimes and Misdemeanors (what I consider Woody Allen's best film by far and a *great* movie that very few people have seen) or Manhattan (my second favorite Woody Allen movie) and Lost in Translation. But trying to keep it down to five (well, six, really), I just went with what movies I've found to be absolutely flawless masterpieces and thought that if I could only watch six movies for the rest of my life, what would I choose?
