THIS is why I hate award shows. I mean really.... how can you compare a comedy against a drama, against sic fi? It depends on the mood you are in. BUT... some of my favorites are: Dangerous Liaisons Ladyhawke The Age of Innocence The Passion The Adventures of Robin Hood (1939) The Adventures of Don Juan The African Queen Reply #22.

The Outlaw Josey Wales is my favorite film, but I wouldn't say it was the best movie I've ever seen. That would have to be Empire of the Ants with Joan Collins and Robert Lansing. That is the most remarkable film ever made since the dawn of mankind. NOT! Actually, it just really isn't possible for me to come up with a best anything, but I can say the movie that moved and stirred my emotions more than any other would be The Elephant Man. Don't even know where to get started with that one. Think you have a lot of problems in your life? Take a look at that one and see if it doesn't make you rethink a few things. Reply #23.

Films, like books and art, are in the eye of the beholder.........in other words an individual thing, and merely down to "what grabs us". So..............films that "grabbed me", irrespective of technical excellence, Oscar level acting, etc..........just liked them:- The Cruel Sea A Night to Remember Cat Ballou Calamity Jane The Outlaw Josey Wales The Longest Day The Final Countdown Gettysburg The Battle of Britain TV Miniseries:- Lonesome Dove Rome The Time Ministry Star Trek Reply #24.

It would be easy for me to try and be all worthy and intellectual, but, honestly..? Most of my favourite movies are favourites because of the various associations I have with them, like who I was with when I first saw them, or how good a job they did at being the purest form of escapism that I perhaps needed at the time. So.... Jaws (only the first one, the rest were...insert your own expletive) Stand By Me The Lost Boys One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest The Fisher King The Outsiders Thelma And Louise Flatliners (the original) Seven The Rocky Horror Picture Show At college, me and my friends used to dance on the bar to songs from Rocky Horror and The Blues Brothers, way before anyone had ever heard of Coyote Ugly!

Our favorites are never ending, My favorite books have made favorite films, so along that line: The Black Stallion Seabiscuit Gone with the Wind I would like to say Black Beauty, there were several movies made of that book, but none of them did it justice, didn't follow the story, etc. Very disappointing. Lassie Come home - to me a tearjerker at the school. No spoilers. National Velvet At least two of the movies I mentioned here starred Mickey Rooney, He was the most talented person to ever grace a movie, although some of them were sappy, He was a musical and dancing and acting etc., genious in the movies of the 30s. After he grew up he wasn't so cute anymore and although he was active to the end of his life, many had forgotten how talented he was, I saw him on stage once in Sugar Babies, Ann Miller was to be there, too. But before it started Mickey Rooney came out in a scroungy old brown bathrobe, to tell us Ann Miller was ill and in the hospital , snd we could get our money back, of course no one did. The point was, Mickey in his old bathrobe was magical! I have never seen such a powerful stage presence and a drawing of the audience to him. I cannot explain the power he held, there are no words to express it. Well I guess I got carried away, so I, to, shall return. Reply #27. May 09 18, 10:45 PM |
