Matrix
War Games!
Seven Samurai
It’s a tie between The Motorcycle Diaries and Howl’s Moving Castle.
The first I found extremely touching, the second is just incredibly magical and charming.
yellow submarine (1968?)
Princess Bride.
Lots of great picks here! I could go with a dozen that have already been mentioned, but I will throw out Blade Runner. The look, the feel, the sound, the ideas… Rutger Hauer’s classic monologue, Sean Young at peak compelling…
Interstellar.
I’ve watched it so many times, yet I still ugly cry at least twice every time I do.
I’m not sure if you’re interested, but I believe they’re rereleasing it this weekend for theaters. At least in the US.
Update: they pushed it to December 6th
I first saw it in a completely empty theater as a teen. The visuals are obviously amazing, and I really liked the story, until the last bit - back then I was annoyed that they suddenly jumped from scientific accuracy towards feelings and emotions.
It took me a long time to properly understand the metaphor and message, but now I love it all the more!
Withnail and I.
Don’t threaten me with a dead fish!
Favorite good movie: Shawshank Redemption
Favorite bad movie: Hackers
Brazil (1985)
Favorite is difficult and changes over time. But it’s gonna be one of these:
- The Big Lebowski
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Clerks
- Tron
- Airplane!
- Die Hard
- Escape From New York
Now I think The Pianist is the best movie of all time, which is a different thing, but that newer movie 1917 sure competes.
Were you born between '78 and '83?
It’s a tie between Goodfellas and The Big Lebowski.
This comment really ties the thread together, man.
Jupiter Ascending
While I wouldn’t call it my favorite, I did really like it and I’m not afraid to admit it.
I still can’t believe it got snubbed at the Oscars. The screenplay alone was astounding.
