A Clockwork Orange

Yay! That is one of my faves too... Kubrick was such a genius. I started a thread on this a while back

 

[katietheskatie]

almost famous
mean girls
garden state
the september sessions (uh, its a surfing movie)
the notebook
donnie darko
jay and silent bob strike back
orange county
romeo & juliet (the newish one)
50 first dates

.. yeah. i pretty much just like to be entertained when i watch movies, as opposed to analysing every last detail of the story line. therefore i like lame movies.

 

[she's_beck]

Adding a few more- The Godfather in particular part 2, Never Ending Story (my childhood move!!)
I watched Donnie Darko as a result of it being the ultimate of flicking through the channels. I LOVED that movie and I still do. So many people I have spoken to about it say they have never heard of it (probably bc its such a struggle to recount such a plot) Now its soo damn popular....

The Godfather Part 1 (1972) – Francis Ford Coppola
Forrest Gump (1994) – Robert Zemeckis
In the Mood for Love (2000) – Wong Kar Wai
Chungking Express (1994) – Wong Kar Wai
Casablanca (1942) – Michael Curtiz
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) – Frank Capra
Fallen Angels (1995) – Wong Kar Wai

[Monkey Butler]

Shit, this is hard...

Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Mulholland Dr.
Dr. Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange
Full Metal Jacket
Memento
Hero
A.I. (don't laugh, I reckon it worked really well as a fairy tale, if not as anything else)

And I really don't understand all the love for Donnie Darko. I used to really like it, but I've seen it a bunch of times now and it just seems really amateurish (or rather, very "film school graduate") - Richard Kelly intentionally poses questions that cna't be answered by what is given to the audience within the film just to create an artificial mystery, and there are some very laboured, wanna-be quirky/cool moments (the Smurfs thing or the guy doing crack at school for example). He also fails to make his intentions clear, and includes little details that could be important but aren't emphasised enough (characters being manipulated etc. He points out in the director's commentary on the DVD, for example, how often Frank will appear driving past in his car or something, but the audience doesn't know that's his car, so the importance of him being there is lost). It's a pretty well directed film, but it's not THAT good IMO. I dunno, maybe I've just seen it too many times, or I've been around too many people who think it's Jesus. And the Director's Cut sucked. Complete waste of time if you've already seen the movie.

Amelie is my all-round favourite. Meaning that it can blow me away no matter what mood I'm in, or what type of movie I feel like watching; whether I want to relax or be challenged.

Other films that I love, but I'm not always in the mood to watch:
-Fight Club
-The Blues Brothers (sometimes you just need four fried chickens and a coke)
-Monty Python's films/shows
-The Closet (le Placard)
-LotR trilogy
-Kill Bill

 

[lachlan43]

My all time favourite is Remember the Titans. Nothing beats it, even if they do run the wrong way to score the winning touchdown in the first game.

So my entire list is:

- Remember the Titans
- The Last Samurai
- ConAir
- True Lies
- The Rock
- The Sound Of Music
- Die Hard
- Mercury Rising

Mystic River was absolute shite sorry I can't believe it got nominated. Sean Penn is cool though.
