I don't watch very many movies, but when I do, I generally go for comedy/spoofs, or action.. or thought-provoking (though I don't see very many of those). I generally dislike romantic movies.

So probably one of Monty Python's movies. I didn't get a chance to finish A Clockwork Orange... I'll have to do that when Orlando's back for the summer. But Monty Python because... they just kick ass. I'm not good at explaining, am I.

Identity was also fairly good, though I have nothing to compare it to. Interesting, especially because it was almost entirely in his head...

Has anyone watched Gormenghast? It doesn't have a plot yet (up to the part where they're visiting Doctor Prune... yeah...), and it's kind of... weird... in the way that highly dysfunctional families are.

I've got too many favorites to count...

Oceans Eleven's a good movie. It's always fun to see how something that creative gets pulled off. A sequel is coming out some time soon: Ocean's Twelve.

I'm a fan of the Indiana Jones series too. The Last Crusade is definitely my favorite.

Ah, yes. Last Crusade is also a favorite of mine, I like seeing a person decay in a matter of seconds... Don't know why, though.

Temple of Doom is also decent, the ripping the heart out of the chest scene...

But Raiders of the Lost Ark... I just didn't like that one as much. Maybe because I've seen it too many times.

Oh, and The Professional was decent as well.

there are alot of movies that i like but if I had to pick one, it would be Basic. That movie kept me guessing. Who's working for work for who and so forth. There's another one called runaway juror(seen it recently). The preview was kinda misleading(maybe it was the title), but the movie was pretty good.

Why?

This movie literally had me on the floor crying. It was the most intense World War II movie I have ever seen. During the D-Day scene I had my jaw dropped the whole time.

Tommy Boy because I laugh every time I watch that movie. I could probably recite pretty much the whole movie. I watch it way too much. Me and my friends quote it all of the time. I love doing quotes from that movie and it's hilarious. Tommy Boy all the way!

Really? I thought it was so boring I almost fell asleep. Then I got so bored I started making fun of the death scenes.

Maybe I just don't have any respect left in me.

Meh, whatever ;D

That is a joke right?

SPR is the most accurate at explaining how war really was (forget the plot). Not sure how you could fall asleep...

It wasn't a joke.

Donnie Darko was pretty good. Hmm...maybe Life of Brian. It's getting re-released. I'll probably go see it if any theaters around me get it.
