favorite Top 5 Favorite Films of All Time?

also i like the matrix a ton. u have to watch all 3 like its all one continuous movie.

Mmmm, respectfully disagreeing.

For the record, up until last December, "The Matrix" had a pretty strong hold on my #1 spot. "Reloaded" had a cool climactic finale, but "Revolutions" is an abomination.
 
I honestly do not know how they let the Matrix trilogy end up the way it did - first was awesome, everyone got pumped about the second one and people hated it and then the third just flopped in my opinion.

WHY do they do that to movies? WHY do sequels suck so hard?

I can't really think of a sequel that was as good as or better than the first except Iron Man 2.

Indiana Jones were always good except the most recent one.

Star Wars sequals were always pretty good also.
 
I want to hear your favorite sci-fi's.:yes:

Gladly. This is a list I wrote on a different thread a while back, when somebody mentioned that they thought the modern era was poor for sci-fi (I believe we were using the last 2 decades as our definition of "modern"):

EDIT: I'm highlighting, in bold, the movies that I think are good enough to at least be considered for a "best-of" list.

Matrix
28 Days Later (ok, I'm kinda cheating, but TECHNICALLY it's sci-fi)
Star Trek (2009)
Wall-E
District 9
I, Robot (I know a lot of people weren't impressed; I like it a lot)
I am Legend
Underworld (another stretch, but technically sci-fi)
Children of Men
Signs
Transformers
Dark City
Starship Troopers
Episode III (c'mon, you gotta at least give him credit for sheer spectacle)
Minority Report
Men in Black
Twelve Monkeys
T2
Jurassic Park
The Arrival
Galaxy Quest
Pitch Black
Stargate
Star Trek VI- Undiscovered Country
Cloverfield
Moon
Eternal Sunshine
And......there's one more I feel like I'm leaving out. Came out very recently; you've probably seen it. Darn it, what's that movie?

Well, you and I can definitely agree on the suckiness of the "Matrix" sequels. Here are some examples to challenge the prevailing sequels-suck theory:

"Aliens" is better than "Alien"
"Terminator 2" is better than "Terminator"
"Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan" is better than "Star Trek"
"The Two Towers" is better than "Fellowship of the Ring"
"Godfather 2" is better than "Godfather"
"Last Crusade" is better than "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
"Empire Strikes Back" is better than the original "Star Wars"
"X-Men 2" is better than "X-Men"
"Dark Knight" is better than "Batman Begins"
"Spiderman 2" is better than "Spiderman"
"Pirates of the Carribean 2" is better than "Pirates of the Carribean"
"Lethal Weapon 4" is better than "Lethal Weapon"
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is better than "Harry Potter and the Scorcers Stone"
"Superman 2" is better than "Superman"
"Christmas Vacation" is better than "Vacation"
"Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" is better than "Austin Powers"
"The Road Warrior" is better than "Mad Max"
"Dawn of the Dead" is better than "Night of the Living Dead"
"Mission Impossible 3" is better than "Mission Impossible"
"Patriot Games" is better than "The Hunt for Red October"
"Prince Caspian" is better than "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe"

Hell yeah that's a good list and I agree with all of them except Pirates of the Caribbean.

Point being is that the second one was too "disney" and too kiddish with all the barnacles on people's faces and octopus beards that you could pick your nose with. The original was so much more suspenseful and had a stronger storyline and was way more epic.

There was also a Mission Impossible 2 in between there :)

But we both know A2 is going to be awesome.

But, it's all subjective anyway.

I can understand all your choices.

Hehe. A lot of those are debatable (obviously), but I kinda thought "Spiderman 2" was a gimme. :)
 
In no particular order:

2001
Dr Strangelove
The Fountain
Chinatown
The Godfather

I had to eliminate Kubrick from my list, because otherwise he'd occupy too many slots.

You said you liked spiderman 2 because of the score though not necessarily because of the movie right? The whole series completely underwhelmed me, but I didn't see much of a difference between 1 and 2, to be honest.

And I 100% respectfully disagree with the Godfather, part 1 was the best :P

I think the action-sequences are absolutely enthralling (helped greatly by the score, yes), and I think the movie has both heart and humor.
 
Appearantly, "In between the lens and the plane of focus" is somewhere east of the Atlantic. Either that, or Mr. Worthington is 80 years old.

im back from my little night out and b4 going to bed id like to say with great pleasure ;) that your wrong on both accounts.

1) West of the Atlantic

2) Under 30

Goodnight and Goodluck!
 
The Bad News Bears? Well I really would never have guessed this would have been someones fav.

Heathers is a good movie and I watch it almost every time it's on tv.

Babe....never seen that.

Harold and Maude...never seen that one as well

Gummo, HOLY SHIT that was fucked up movie. I think KIDS is better myself but when I feel the need to feel better about my life I watch Gummo or when I want to freak other people out I have them watch it.

i think im the only one that thought kids was one of the best movies of all time. i thought the movie was hilarious. its just a big party movie. just forget that everyone in the film has (u know) and it will be an awesome movie,.
