3NS Community Poll: What is your favourite movie (non-SW)? Share your answer inside

Any James Bond movie will do. Another one of my favorite films is Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien.

 

I voted "other", since my favorite movie right now is Memento.

 

I voted for Schindler's List, although I'm equally fond of Michael Collins.

 

Aliens is my 2nd favorite movie ever only behind ROTJ. It fell behind AOTC initially but I think I like Aliens better. Aliens is one of the few movies I could watch every day along with the SW movies and The Road Warrior.

 

i voted for Shawshank Redemption a film that is really at it's core about never giving up hope

 

Jesuschrist Superstar.
1973, directed by Norman Jewison.

A very unique film.

 

gotta love the hobbits and the ringwraiths.

 

Moulin Rouge, for too many reasons to list.

 

Road to Perdition & Forrest Gump, easily Tom Hanks two best performances and damn good moves to boot!

 

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Quite possibly the perfect comedy.

 

Rashomon

 

The Matrix

 

I also really like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Definitely one of my favs. Maybe i should have voted for other haha.

 

Casablanca . I know it's a bit overrhyped, but it really is almost as great as people make it out to be!

 

LOTR, then maybe other/A Beautiful Mind.
love that movie.

 

Platoon

 

After a long, serious meditating-monent:
Das Boot (director's cut)

you know, the german submarine film?

Oh! That is one of the best movies EVER! I agree!

I'm not sure which is my 'favorite' film of all time. Depends on genre for me I guess

But Das Boot was sweet, subtitled only, no dubs. Favorite foreign film right there!

Dogma, Office Space, GoldenEye, Die Another Day, Austin Powers: Spy who Shagged me, Apollo 13, Patriot Games...as I said...a lot of movies I hold equal

The Shawshank Redemption.

I never watched dramas before this movie. And it really touched me. I found it incredibly inspiring, and to this day I watch it whenever it comes on. I never get tired of it.

Kind of like SW.

 

My favorite movie of all time: The Spitfire Grill. No doubt. I love that movie! It was a real sleeper when it came out. I'd recommend everyone see it. It's a chick-flick, certainly, but it's very well done and very poingnant (sp?).

 

Mine is the Harry Potter movies!

 

Ghostbusters, can't ya tell?


Rick McCallum loves you!

 

I'm a big fan of the Bond series, and I'm probably as big a fan of it as I am of Star Wars.

I'd vote for Thunderball, which I believe is Connery's finest performance as 007. It has all the elements of a great action/adventure film - exotic locales, nifty gadgets, and hot babes, and this movie's a lot more straightforward than most Bond films (*cough*Octopussy*cough*)

Along with Dr. No and Goldfinger, this would be a great introductory film to get into the Bond series.

 

Don't know what it is about Cassablanca....

Perhaps the Leading lady is a timeless beauty.

Perhaps Bogart is at his grim and gritty best.

Perhaps because the Captian is the sleeziest, yet funniest charater evern.

Perhaps it shows there is always hope, when it is darkness.

Perhaps it's because Nazis are such good villians......

Perhaps its the song that tells is like it is...

"You must remember this,
a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh,
is still a sigh...
the fundemental things apply,
as time goes by.

And when two lovers woo,
They still say I love you
And that, you can't deny
The world will always welcom lovers
As time, goes by."

 

That Thing You Do!

Tom Hanks really should direct more. He's quite good at it.

 

The Seven Samorai.
