I also love "From the Earth to the Moon" and the Batmans: "Batman," "Batman Returns," "Batman Forever," and "Batman and Robin."

For real, it's my favorite movie for the pure purpose that it's so damn entertaining and enjoyable to watch. What's not to like? Plus, it perfectly showcases the pure genuis of Tom Hanks. He wrote the screen play, produced it, stared in and AND wrote some of the songs!!!

Simply splendid.

I agree with JustJenn, HEAVENLY CREATURES is a great film, much better than the most recent Peter Jackson's work, the commercial THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Cyndi: Alejandro Amenábar's movie that inspired Vanilla Sky is spelled ABRE LOS OJOS
And I think when you said MOMENTO you meant MEMENTO, am I right?

I completely agree with Sybil, TWELVE ANGRY MEN is a hell of a film.

Sunday's Child has good taste for filmes. ALIEN, FIGHT CLUB and PLEASANTVILLE are awesome. And I should pick:

Contact
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The End of The Affair
Gattaca
Panic Room
American Beauty
Misery
Moulin Rouge (originality in the form of a film)
A.I.
12 Monkeys
Alien
Empire of The Sun
Fight Club
Trois Couleurs: Rouge
The Silence of The Lambs
Election (Reese Witherspoon is great)

I'd like some comments

<<Rodolfo>>

PS. do you guys recommend HIGH FIDELITY?

Clueless
Moulin Rouge ( yes it is fantabulous)
Better Off Dead ( that movie was FUNNY)
I want to hold your hand ( It's an interesting perspective on Beatlemania, funny too)

Rodolfo - how did you like Christian Bale's preformance in Empire of the Sun?

Some other favorites are
Mary Poppins
Made in Heaven
Sleepless in Seattle

The Grinch - Yes I said the Grinch and No I did not feel stupid waiting in line for an hour at the Islands of Adventure theme park
to have my picture taken with the Grinch

Cyndi - The Virgin Suicides, haha, that was my high school, no seriously, the building was the high school I went to, the field, where Kristen Dunst makes out with the guy, yep my dog has pooped there...

Must not forget:

-Casablanca
-How to Marry a Millionaire (it is the manual to which I live my life)
-Seven Year Itch (yep no Marilyn Monroe fan here, eh?)
-Grease
-Love Serande
-Happiness (this should be somehow both the worst and best, it was horrible, but I never laughed so hard in my life)
-Welcome to the Dollhouse
-New Waterford Girl

Okay and I am semi-serious, it cracks me up and I LOVE Dave Foley; Kids in the Hall -Brain Candy

I enjoy older movies, AMC and TCM are two of my favorite channels. Cary Grant movies are a category by themselves for me. I just love him.

Arsenic and Old Lace
Casablanca (oh yeah. good movie, and I love Boggie as well as Cary)
The Shawshank Redemption (Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins...how could it be bad? )
Music From Another Room (excellent, excellent, excellent. Don't understand the title, but I really enjoyed the movie)
The Princess Bride (hilarious, plus, you get to see Cary Elwes. )
There are a lot of movies I like, but these top my list.

posted July 03, 2002 09:34 PM               

Matrix, Independence Day, Men in Black 1 and 2, Ocean's 11 (With George Clooney), and any Star Trek

JustJenn, AMERICAN BEAUTY is a movie for a director fan. I think Sam Mendes is a genious for catching that story so delicately. And it's those movies like IN THE BEDROOM: either you hate it or love it. In my case, I hate IN THE BEDROOM.

MsDMeanor and Ericka. I agree with you about MAGNOLIA, it's a wonderful film, and it's rare to find people who really like it.

FunkyFred, CROUCHING TIGER is indeed an antologic film, but I totally disagree about THE LORD OF THE RINGS: average, commercial and boring movie.

But don't you guys watch anything else but American movies? What about AMÉLIE? And what about the Colour Trilogy: "BLUE", "WHITE" and "RED"? RED is fantastic, you gotta watch it. And has anyone seen REQUIEM FOR A DREAM?

Almost Famous
Diabolique
Nell
The Vanishing

BRAZILIAN MOVIES
Amores Possíveis (Possible Loves)

A Partilha (The Inheritance)

WILDE where he seduces the title-man

THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY where he spends 90% of the film laughing, arguing or flirting with Matt Damon

A.I. where he almost only speaks with Haley Joel Osment

GATTACA where he goes on and on discussing things or yelling with Ethan Hawke most of the time

ENEMY AT THE GATES where he fights, laughs, loves and argues next to Joseph Fiennes. Of Course there's that stupid love story, but that's only for better selling of the film

MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL where he is a call-boy involved with a famous and rich man

Then there's EXISTENZ, but I didn't watch this one because it has never come to Brazil. Someone said there is one called MUSIC FROM ANOTHER ROOM with Jude Law. Which one is this? I've never heard about it. Could someone tell anything about this, so I can find out the name in Portuguese?

thanks anyway

Silvia, eu descobri o Duncan vendo o filme Um Caso a Três. Eu ouvi That Says It All e adorei. Catei bastante pela Internet e encontrei a letra, o clipe, sites e coisas dos gênero. Escutei Barely Breathing e fui colecionando músicas em mp3. Hoje tenho umas 25, mas já mandei importar os dois primeiros CDs, porque não gosto muito de mp3s...
