obax Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Shortbus is my favourite movie ever, but I usually tell people V for Vendetta because no one knows what Shortbus is. I highly recommend it (obviously) if you can find it, but be prepared for some full on nudity. It's not about nudity or sex, though there's lots of those in it, but on the surface it would seem so, which could turn a lot of people off. I say, give it a chance, it's a beautiful story (makes me cry every single time, and I'm not generally a crier). Also, The Princess Bride, Finding Nemo, WALL-E, The Usual Suspects, pretty much anything by Quentin Tarantino or Chris Nolan (especially Inception). Lots and lots of others, about the only kind of movie I don't like is comedies, but even some of those are good. Dare mighty things Link to comment
Panczo Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 the best movies ever for me: LOTR part 1 - Fellowship; K-Pax, Remember the Titans and Matrix.

Tocho Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 If I were only allowed to watch 5 movies ever again I would choose Snatch, The Road, V for Vendetta, 2001: A Space Odyssey and haven't decided the fifth one yet. The ones mentioned in my previous post are all really good but I figured narrowing it down to 5 might help in finding out what movies I really, really love.

Halifirien Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 This is a really hard topic. Outside of the Star Wars OT and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I've never really thought about my favorite films. Well, I've thought about them, but could never decide. Star Wars OTLord of the Rings TrilogyScott Pilgrim vs. the WorldV for VendettaAladdinDriveVertigoBronsonHarold & MaudeHis Girl FridayNosferatuBram Stoker's Dracula (1992 with Gary Oldman) I could go at this all day. But that list has a wide variety of genres I'm interested in. Link to comment
humanperson832 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Drive!!! I tried to get my folks to watch it with me because it was on Netflix and they wanted to watch something. My dad left about 1/3 of the way in, and my mom said it was too slow. Sometimes I wonder if I was switched at birth. Link to comment
Halifirien Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I feel you traipsing, my family hates Drive. Then again, they hate most movies I watched. I was definitely switched at birth. Link to comment
