Chandler#81 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Impossible to answer which is my favorite, but I probably watched the Wizard of Oz the most times. It was an annual ritual when I was a kid. +1 Amazing how it's still great.
ajzepp Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 +1 Amazing how it's still great. True...I saw the HD transfer for the first time earlier this year, and it was like a completely new movie. I was just entranced by all the colors and visuals and detail...truly an amazing film!
Huuuge Bills Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 To steal from chknwing334, American History X is another one of my favorites. And I have to add A Christmas Story, I've watched that movie every year that I can remember. For me, it never gets old.
Wooderson Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yes, you should. What we should do is make a topic of the best movie made from a Stephen King adaptation. I would love to hear the TBD posters response to that. :lol: Great retort. Stand By Me was awesome.
SelmonSmith6378 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I know I will be absolutley HAMMERED for this but (sighs).....the 2010 Wolfman remake. I know I know, this movie has gotten negative reviews, but I loved it. The special affects were amazing (see oscar nod) as was the action, but that wasn;t the major reason I liked it. The main reason is how meaningful it is. It;s a character story, and I really felt for the cursed Lawrence Talbot, suffering through the hatred of the fellow villagers and putting the woman he loves in great danger. The acting was fantastic, especially Del Toro and Hopkins, there was a great twist and (again sighs) I teared up a little at the end. A underrated, underappreciated masterpiece
Repulsif Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Wanted to add to my previous list : Groundhog Day

Pete Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 The General with Buster Keaton. I can watch this over and over
billsfan89 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Everyone always has two favorite movies, the one they say to people that is their favorite, and the one that is really their favorite. The one that they say is their favorite is a critically acclaimed movie that they liked a lot but isn't really their favorite. Then their is that movie that is really their favorite but its not the most critically acclaimed so they don't like to admit it. My favorite movie (The one I tell people) Forrest Gump My real favorite movie Superbad.

Thanks Buftex. Glad someone else appreciates it.

hatedolphins Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Somebody bumped up the "worst movies" thread, so I did a search and bumped this Some of my favorites - Slingblade - Precious - Paris Texas - The Waterboy - Exorcist 3 Edited October 5, 2011 by hatedolphins
Pilsner Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) For me it would have to be Shawshank Redemption. I don't have one fav because there are just so many exceptional films. But Shawshank Redemption ranks high up there in my book. I don't often purchase movies and I often debate as to whether a specific film makes my cut. Shawshank made my cut.
