) -
Shawshank Redemption
-
Any fragment to share? I am not so familar with the movie you mentioned.
My favorite is 'Towering Inferno' with a young Paul Newman and Steve Mcqueen in the role of 'come to the rescue' guy.
The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsRnQQpklPMAlso, but it is a weird movie, 'Lost Highway' of David Lynch :the favorite LSD trip...
The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMWMCbQxEsEAnd off course the ridiculous 'Fear and loathing in Las Vegas' of Terry Gilliam. Fantastic movie.

Watching the trailer, it seems pretty run-of-the-mill, but i enjoyed
Good choice on shawshank mike, a very good film indeed.

The Juno film looks a bit puberal to me..but I'll definitely consider it when visiting the video shop next time.
And indeed, Shawshank redemption is one of the greatest movies ever. It made my knees go weak at moments.
-
"Taxi Driver" and "Midnight Cowboy". Oh, and "Donnie Darko". Didn't understand a thing of the last one, but it, well, moved me. No idea why. I cherish the dvd like a precious jewel.
-
I'd like to mention something sophisticated and epic like 'Ben Hur' or 'Gone with the wind' but truthfully they bored the crap out of me so my golden oldie favorite is 'Blade runner' (yes it is old) with 'Close encounters of the third kind' a close second. You can see a theme when I mention my all time fav is 'Independence day'.

The Third Man (classic black and white, wonderful photography)

Spirited Away (or almost any Miyazaki animation)

Kill Bill, House of flying daggers, Indiana Jones, Blade runner, Shawshank Redemption, Love Actually. But I'll watch just about anything.

This thread is great for inspiation on DVD rentals. Thanks guys. I am always so ignorant when I am there, like (some) women that can't make up their mind between hundreds of pairs of shoes.
(sorry if this came out a little sexistic, I am a kind guy
)[EDIT]: I added the word 'some'.

Frankenstein (original)
Bride of Frankenstein (original)
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Tora! Tora! Tora!
TLOR The Return of the King
to name a few -
how has no one mentioned the greatest trilogy of all time?
NOT starwars (least of all because there are six of them now)
NOT lord of the rings (yawn)
NOT die hard (although easily a close second)
and NOT The Matrix (personally i still only pay any attention to the first one, the other two are superfluous, and clearly awful)so, any guesses what trilogy i am thinking of?

Bambi?

Let me guess ... Indiana Jones (too bad number 4 sucked)
Back to the future?
Shrek? -
No idea Pav, there are some good movies listed.
My favorites are
"The Good, the bad & the ugly"
"Snatch"
"Pulp Fiction"
"Blade Runner"
"Tombstone"Like Star Wars I can put these in and watch them over and over again and never get tired.
There are better movies out there but these are the ones I enjoy watching the most. -
