Chelsea Malibu Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I love classic period pieces especially ones with great historical reference with a few "chick flicks" mixed in. The Man Who Would Be King (1975)(Great move bad trailer.) Kundun THELMA & LOUISE The Last Emperor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clarence Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 My hero! I love this film: Duck Soup "The Rise and Fall of Rufus T. Firefly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn Morani Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I already mentioned this movie in the songs that make you cry thread, but it's one of my very favorites. I haven't watched it in a while, but just watching the trailer makes me want to run home, plug in my DVD and sob my sorry little eyes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yay, a 'favorites' category I can actually deal with! Music was too hard. Pamela has already gotten one of mine: 'The Man Who Would Be King' is truly a great movie. Someone wrote that it's really hard to make decent movies from novels; there is simply too much plot and character development in a novel for a movie to deal with. But movies made from short stories can capture almost every nuance the author placed there. 'King' is from a Kipling story. Another really good movie is 'The Shawshank Redemtion' which was based on a short story by Steven King. So here's one of my all time favorites, based on utter silliness. I have more. I'll be back (and no that is not from one of my favorites, but it's a good line).:smileywink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia Tamalyn Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I haven't watched this one in ages, but I remember I used to love it... (grr, another one I have to post as a link!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget "Logan's Run", very much in the mix with those plus Jenny Agutter with no clothes on (always a plus). Here's one of your trailers :-) And one more for me. There's a better Bogart/Bacall movie—"To Have and Have Not"—but I couldn't find a trailer. This one is based on a novel by Raymond Chandler; screenplay by William Faulkner. People say the plot makes no sense but in fact it makes perfect sense if you've seen the movie more than once and read the book three or four times (I own both). Sadly the Hollywood Public Library is no more, but in the late eighties it still looked just like it does in this trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liisa Runo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yup. Logan's Run is one of them better 70's scifi movies. But just not enough to make it to my hall of fame. From the 70's scifi, Dark Star is almost in my list. Almost. Also star wars and lord of the ring movies are not in my list. Everyone love those. No need to list them.

Quinn Morani Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Is YouTube down? I can't get to it now. So for now, a list of a few more favorites. I'll come back later to add the trailers. Groundhog Day (sentimental reasons, it was my first date with Zeke) The Princess Bride ET Gone With the Wind Toy Story 3 BBC/A&E production of Pride & Prejudice (I know this is cheating, since it's not the movie but the TV miniseries, which I far prefer to the movie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Solo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Anything by the Mad Genius of Cinema Jan Svankmajer. Particularly his version of Alice in Wonderland, called Alice. Here is a short trailer of his works: Simply outrageous. His work was pre digital era don't forget. There used to be a show on a TV channel here that featured this type of stop motion animation and that is how I came across his work. (ten years ago?) Btw the collection does not exist as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liisa Runo Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Oh! How i managed to forget the holy grail. Totally in the hall of fame. That Jan Svankmajer stuff looks intresting. Reminds me of "The Amazing Mr. Bickford". Someone once warned people to not eat LSD before watching the movie. Me and friend took it as a challenge. Bad mistake.

Marigold Devin Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 My absolute favourite movie of all time is "Big", but I can see some I really love in Dillon's list (particularly Spirited Away, and Silent Running). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Marigold that list was Liisa's (post before mine). I just copied it and yes, there are a bunch of winners in there :-) ETA: Wow, very cool SL 'rendering', but then I've come to expect that sort of thing from Marigold Devin. Was 'Big' the one where they danced on the oversized piano keyboard? That was one of the greatest scenes ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Whupps - my bad. Bedtime for Marigold :matte-motes-big-grin-wink: (Yes, it was the one with the big piano keyboard in the toy store) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980. Short after his death the other band members started a new band called New Order who became popular with songs as: Blue monday, , .... The movie itself was directed by Anton Corbijn and based on the book by Deborah Curtis (the wife of Ian Curtis): "Touching From A Distance", the movie was released in 2007. ->everytime I see the movie I am :matte-motes-crying: *meows* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. I can't count the number of times I have watched it and it never gets old. My 3 daughters and I have it memorized word for word, from beginning to end. You probably won't want to watch it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
