What are the best movies you’ve ever seen?

[Sheepy765]

My top 3 (in no particular order) are:
- Fantastic Mr Fox (2009)
- The Bad Guys (2022)
- Robin Hood (1973)

If you're noticing a pattern here I think it's just you.

9. The Suicide Squad (2021)
I really don't care for superheroes in general, regardless of the medium they appear in. I do, however, really like the ultra-gory Supervillian/Antihero action comedies that have become a thing as of late. This one is my favorite. Polka-Dot Man's insanity and Peacemaker and Bloodsport's constant rivalry and dick-measuring contests when fighting enemies, allies or each other are hilarious.

I just watched this finally and was so surprised by it.

I saw a review describe it as though it was a series of comics turned into a movie and that is a perfect way to describe it thanks to how it had little chapter intros to every next series of events.

It's maybe one of the very best comic movies ever??? James Gunn was so smart to make it as disconnected from the Zack Snyder series as possible so they could just throw it anywhere. Finally the movies are as messy and as confusing and as filled with as many tonal whiplashes as actual comic books.

Have you seen The Shawshank Redemption?
It was directed by the same guy who directed The Green Mile (Frank Darabont), and like The Green Mile, it is a film adaptation of a Stephen King story (Rita Hayworth & The Shawshank Redemption)

We really didn't get movies as soon as they were released. Being all the way in West Africa during the 90's, we'd get recorded ones only years later. By that time the hype was pretty much over in the West, but the West alone lol!
We'd have Corner or Ghetto cinemas; small shacks that would show popular movies starring actors like Jean-Claude Van Damme or Sylvester Stallone.
My favorite movie at the time was Bloodsport. I wasn't allowed to watch such flicks since i was still a kid, but i was too hype about martial arts and Van Damme to care.
Those ghetto cinemas have almost totally disappeared, but you can still find some in rural areas, like my hometown. Some folks are still stuck in the late 90's to early 2000s period. They prefer things that way; some admitted it made more sense than modern times as it required them to not think too much about how complicated times are now. I didn't really know how to feel about that, but i understood the sentiment.

Rainbow Rocks mentioned!

 

[Jangiku]

Some of if not the best action choreography I have ever seen in film.

 

[TinRattler]

Bloodsport

 

[Adrastia]

Off the top of my head a few that I really like:

A Night To Remember: In my opinion it's the best Titanic movie. It was made in 1958 so it was before the wreckage was discovered. It's a really well done film for the time.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles: Not only is it really funny. But John Candy's iconic character will hit you right in the kokoro

Die Hard: I don't care what anybody says. It's a Christmas movie!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: It's a Holliday must see.

Aliens: Get away from her you bitch!

Terminator 2: It's the best Terminator movie. My mom took me to see it. I was blown away at how cool it was. I still am.

 

[TinRattler]

Wrong bet

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke, Revenge of the Nerds, Animal House, Jackass, (the first movie).

 

[diet_orange]

BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN is Back to the Future (1985).

I feel like it's a bit of a boring choice, it's almost like saying your favorite character in Mario Kart is Mario.

To me it is just THE perfect adventure comedy movie. Does everything right from the action, to the music, to the effects, and even the plot and the characters. Just nails it.

A perfect storm of a movie where everyone involved managed to steer the ship clear from total destruction because if you look at the behind the scenes of it you can see that it was like on the verge of just falling apart throughout the entire process.

I would hardly call it a boring choice and I listed "Fight Club" and "Shawshank Redemption" in mine :P

As long as the film speaks to you personally, that's all that matters. If I'm being frank, I feel like BTTS 2&3 kind of lost what made the original so special

3. Idiocracy
My favorite comedic dystopia (as good as Brazil is, it's not nearly as funny). It gets even funnier when you realize things BRAWNDO- THE THIRST MUTILATOR are loaded with electrolytes- which include sodium- so they've basically been salting the earth with a Gatorade knockoff. I want a sequel called Idiocracy 2: Upgrayedd Now where Joe/Not Sure must attempt to win reelection against Upgrayedd who is not only smarter than Joe but a ruthless pimp.

5. Atomic Blonde
My favorite Charlize Theron action movie, yes, I like it even more than Fury Road. It's brutal, it has an amazing soundtrack and it kept me guessing as to who Satchel was until to the big reveal at the end. It's also based on the comic "The Coldest City" as well.

10. Mad Max: Fury Road
The best Mad Max movie. I think most people agree with me.
View attachment 104955

Idiocracy is one of those films, much like Blazing Saddles and Kung Pow: Enter The Fist where I watched so much of it that I kind of didn't want to watch it ever again. Then I did years later and it's still just as funny and startlingly accurate as it was when it came out

If you liked Atomic Blonde, I'd recommend Luc Beson's "La Femme Nikta" and "Leon The Professional", both are incredibly hard action movies and are some of the best out there even if Leon does delve into subject matter that I personally find uncomfortable

I was and still kind of am very obsessive about Fury Road, it is literally the most perfect movie imaginable. RLM did a great video comparing it to the original Road Warrior btw

[SoThankful]

frankenstein 1931

Are you planning to watch the new one? Let me know what you think.

 

[diet_orange]

nosferatu 1922

If you've seen Nosferatu, I encourage you to watch "Nosferatu The Vampyre" (1979) and "Shadow Of The Vampire" (2000). Both are excellent reinterpretations of the 1922 original

[Bandini]

If you've seen Nosferatu, I encourage you to watch "Nosferatu The Vampyre" (1979) and "Shadow Of The Vampire" (2000). Both are excellent reinterpretations of the 1922 original

thanks. I got both movie. herzog is one of my favorite directors.

 

[BiriCross]

-Back To The Future Trilogy
-Sonic Movie Trilogy (especially the third movie)
-Fast & Furious 4
-Cars 1
-Matrix
-Need For Speed The Movie

 

[Bakuma1997]

Spirited away, a nice movie that encapsulates the Ghibi Formula and the first one i saw of him

Coraline, as a kid i loved the animation and creepy as hell artstyle, as an adult i appreciate the message of appreciating your parent's efforts and that easy stuff has strings attached

Chicken Run: My introduction to Stop Motion, and the first time i said "THIS SHIT IS FOR KIDS!?"

Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the Were-rabbit: I still crack at the jokes and like the horror movie spoof

Super Mario Movie: The curse... is broken...

Sonic 3: the best of the movies so far, being a good mix of seriousness and comedy

 

[Crashbandi]

I watch A LOT of movies. Like a stupid amount. I love how subjective this thread is. Now without further ado, My list in no particular order.

Little Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland. This has been my favorite movie since inwas likeb5 or 6.

Child's Play 2

Zombie A$$ Toilet of the Dead.

T2: Judgement Day

ALL the Matrix movies, yes even 4. Fight me.

Velocipastor

Rampage not the weird white supremacy one. But the one where a dude buys a junk yard and gets revenge on people who kill his wife by making a garbage suit by welding himself into a bunch of metal.

Nightmare on Elm St.

Freddy Vs. Jason

Scream 1 and 2. The rest of the series is pretty rad, but 1 and 2 are the best of the best.

Dead Alive/Brain Dead one of the great works of cinematic history to come out of New Zealand. And to me Peter Jackson's Magnum Opus

Your Highness the greatest film starring James Franco and Danny McBride.

This is the End second greatest movie starring James Franco with a killer performance by McBride in a supporting role.

That's all that comes to mind at the moment
