Favourite Movies
« on: December 13, 2007, 04:11:11 pm »
Opinions will vary greatly here I'm sure. There is no right or wrong here. What are your favorite movies and why.

Ok, to start, one of my favorites is Groundhog Day. I just love this movie, its Bill Murray at his best. If you haven't seen it, its a movie you need to see over and over ;). There never seems to be a reason revealed as to what happens to the main character but it seems to me he is trapped until he becomes a better person. He goes from confused to self serving to despair, then finally to selfless, and its only when he makes it to the far side of where he began that he escapes. Despicable prima donna to lovable hero. Yeah, it sounds trite but it works. :)

How sad is that movie? Honestly there aren't many movies I can say broke my heart. Grave of The Fireflies is one of them. Its weird to describe something as beautifully sad, but Grave of The Fireflies does it. I can count the movies that make me cry on the fingers of one hand. This is number one.

I saw No Country For Old Men recently, and that's gotta be one of my favorite movies now.  One of the few movies that doesn't lag once throughout the entire film.  There's nothing wasted.



Other than that, I basically love Arnold movies. ^-^



And I've been meaning to watch Grave of the Fireflies, but I need to find a good opportunity.  Because I know I'm going to be wrecked by the end. :'(

I just love movies in general, there are so many good ones that I just can't pick a favourite. The best one in recent memory was...well, SuperBad, but that's only because I haven't seen many new movies lately. SuperBad, with all it's offensive humour and awesomeness is definitely a step forward for teen comedies. :P

No movie will ever even come close to the genius that is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Seriously.

Derek did you turn off the marquee and blink tags just to hurt my feelings.

Is this what has happened here.
