"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring Extented being the best so far", "Bruce Almighty", "The X-Men Movies". And Also Just a ?? Do you guys like DVD's or VHS.

 

LOTR Triology
The Philadelphia Story
Gone With The Wind
Moulin Rouge

 

The Matrix Trilogy
LOTR
8 Mile
both Charlie's Angels movies
the Mission: Impossible movies
A lot of comic movies (X-Men, X2, Spider-Man, the first 3 Batmans)
the Jurassic Park movies
pretty much anything with Jennifer Love Hewitt , Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Tom Green, or Will Smith in it
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Kill Bill

 

Definately have to go with the LotR and Matrix trilogies.
I'm also a big fan of the comic-to-big screen movies like Spiderman, Daredevil, Batman (I agree with you Random about the 1st three, George Clooney just didn't do the cape & cowl justice).
Can't forget movies like Braveheart, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, and U-571. Great movies that were either a true story or something based off of a time in history.

 

Yeah, not too mention he smiled too damn much under the cowl. Batman doesn't smile. Ever. At least the pictures some of our fellow comic geeks have posted of Bale as Batman are giving me a lot of hope that this movie will do the franchise the justice it deserves.

Mary, I liked "Spirited Away" a lot too but very few people seem to know what I'm talking about. The animation is incredible.

Greetings, blokes.

On the topic of "Spirited Away..."

I caught that a whiles back when they tried releasing it in some major theaters. The animation is indeed very nice, and it was a very interesting and incredibly memorable movie to see. (I can still vividly recall certain key scenes from it, even though it's been a long time since I've seen it, and I only saw it once.)

And, I'm not sure why, but watching that movie dredged up the same feelings that I experience when I play exceedingly excellent role playing games, such as Final Fantasy III/VI on my SNES way back in the day: those of exploration, adventure, and fun.

Weird...

Was never sure of why that happened,
Yours Truly

 

Pirates of the Caribbean
Can't Hardly Wait
LOTR
Harry Potter
American Outlaws
Now & Then
Rat Race
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Little Mermaid

 

If you liked "Spirited Away," you might also like "Princess Mononoke" also by Miyazaki. Don't be put off by the title. It's not a Cinderella story!

 

Greetings, blokes.

skyedancer... Wasn't a huge fan of "Mononoke." Too preachy for my tastes. Of course, it didn't help that I saw the celebrity-dubbed version. I felt it was incredibly distracting to have Agent Scully tell me not to cut down the trees and to be nice to animals.

To be fair, though, I should probably sit and watch the subtitled version. Maybe that would help.

Wonders where the Lorax is when you need him,
Yours Truly

 

Here's a list of my all-time favorites:

Star Wars movies (duh)
Matrix Trilogy (also The Animatrix)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Freddy Got Fingered (Tom Green owns!)
Jacka$$: The Movie
The Terminator Trilogy
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
Full Metal Jacket (R. Lee Ermey also owns!)
Meet the Parents
Clerks
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Donnie Darko (Way to go, ben_ethus! Glad to see someone else likes this strange flick)
Fast and the Furious (only part 1, part 2 was awful)
Fight Club
Half-Baked (finally, Dave Chapelle owns all)

I think that's about it, but I'm sure there's others I haven't mentioned.

And to answer your question, darthmaul3162, DVD is way better than VHS. 2x better picture and sound, it holds more data, allowing for bonus footage, it saves space, it doesn't deteriorate in quality like VHS does, it doesn't need to rewind or fast forward when you're done watching it, and you can copy DVDs with ease, and will even be able to soon copy shows onto them ala VHS. Need I say more?

 

Well, if we had to limit it to one movie, that would be Superman: The Movie.

 

I am somewhat of a movie geek and am in the process of ranking my all time favorite movies. Of course, the Star Wars saga is #1. The rest of the list is as follows (this is a work in progress ).

2. Tucker-The Man and His Dreams
3. Casablanca
4. Les Miserabes (1998 with Liam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush)
5. October Sky
6. Seabiscuit
7. Spider-Man
8. Aladdin
9. The Day the Earth Stood Still
10. Dragonheart
11. Stargate
12. Bend It Like Becham

 

1. Jackie Brown
2. The Godfather
3. Full Metal Jacket
4. Office Space
5. Boondock Saints
6. Dumb and Dumber
7. Citizen Kane (although I still think it's overrated)
8. A.I (mediocore story, fantastic presentation)
9. LOTR Trilogy (the musical score was a little weak, as was the cinematography in FOTR)
10. The Matrix
11. Any film that isn't a ripoff of the Matrix or feel like it was driven by the director's massive ego.
